This review comes with the proviso that I've only experienced half of the full Singing Buddha experience.
Abbotsbury Road is a little hidden road in Morden, where you'll find a few restaurants. My salsa friend Hilary and I gave Singing Buddha a whirl before our dance class a few weeks ago.
I think we got there really early as the place was deserted. The owners told us that most people go later for a meal, then a good karaoke sing song.
The food is served buffet style. I was impressed that they made a point of cooking us some special portions of some of the dishes which weren't ready yet. The selection was what you'd expect - some starters, including crispy aromatic duck, soup, main courses and rice/noodles.
The quality was above average but I never usually find buffet style food top notch.
The owners were very friendly and keen for us to have a go at the karaoke but it would have been a bit strange singing in an empty restaurant, so we declined.
Perhaps with some karaoke atmosphere in the evening, it would turn into a 4 star experience but I can only give it a 3 for now. read more
