  “Food is good, service is okay but you dont go there to be waited on, you go there for the variety. Overall food is good. When its busy ques can get big so its worth being flexible and getting what you want when ques are less. Chefs are very friendly. Restrooms always clean. If you have any neurodivergents as part of your party, I would avoid the busier times. It gets very busy with lots of people crowding food stations and gets very loud. I found early lunch is a great time to go if your sensitive to these things. Great dessert selection, we went with 2 kids and they particularly loved the chocolate fountain.”

  “Most dishes tasted fresh and well‑prepared, which is impressive for such a big buffet. The only disappointment was the noodles, which were quite cold compared to everything else. The Italian and Mexican sections were the highlights for me—great flavour and seasoning. Service was excellent throughout. Staff were quick, friendly, and always on hand without being intrusive, which made the experience even better. The dessert section is huge, with everything from pavlova to crème brûlée. The cheesecake was the standout—rich, creamy, and easily one of the best items of the night. At around £20 per person for dinner, it’s good value, especially if you arrive hungry. As expected with a large buffet, it leans more towards quantity over quality, but the variety, freshness (mostly), and great service make it well worth a visit. I’d happily return.”

  “Can't beat the value for the buffet! This is UK's largest restaurant. I expected more dishes, but for how much we paid, which was £14.95 for lunch, I really couldn't complain. The Indian food, British food, and pita station were above average, as well as the soft serve ice cream at the end. The rest of the dishes, European and Asian, were okay or subpar. The sushi was also not very good; it was mostly just veggie rolls. However, they make the naan fresh out of the oven, and that was out of this world.”

  “Great space with a good view to the river. The food was ok, not the greatest in flavour but acceptable. Definitely not the best buffet I have been to but for £14.99 at lunch time is very very decent. Lots of variety from around the world and chefs cooking in each station which is awesome. Overall 8.3 /10 is my rating”

  “Very disappointed, almost every food item was not being refilled. The quality of food is not great. I have visited before with family and the experience was good but this time, describing it bad will be an understatement Honestly. Based in this experience. Wouldn't return”

  “Great buffet restaurant with a very wide selection of food. They offer a variety of cuisines including Italian, Chinese, English, and Indian dishes, so everyone can find something they enjoy. The “all you can eat” option is great value for money, and the food is generally fresh, tasty, and regularly refilled. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes the visit pleasant. The only area that could be improved is the restaurant’s interior — the décor feels quite basic, and some visible dust takes away from the overall dining experience. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and atmosphere, this place could be even better. Overall, still a good spot if you want to try many different foods in one visit.”

  “I recently visited Za Za Bazaar and overall, it was a great experience. First of all, the ambience is lovely and the location is excellent. The restaurant was very busy, and there was a huge queue to get a seat for the buffet. However, it was definitely worth the wait. They offer a wide variety of cuisines with plenty of options to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the food — it was a treat for my taste buds! The chicken tikka, spicy chicken legs, pulao rice, mutton curry, and most of the desserts were delicious. That said, I did feel that the salt was slightly high in the chicken tikka, lamb seekh kebab, and fish pakora. Also, the gulab jamun was a bit disappointing in taste. Apart from these small issues, everything else was great and absolutely worth the £22 price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a diverse buffet experience in Bristol.”

  “First time visiting this restaurant. Good location in central Bristol. Several nearby car parks. Booked a table ahead of time. They were flexible with changing timings at short notice. Lots of seating. Good selection of dishes from so many countries. Unable to try it all because of the variety. Decent price. Many halal options, lots of vegetarian options. Chefs cooking in front of you and custom dishes a highlight.”

  “Large selection across 5 different regional groups. From far east to Tex Mex, there's plenty to choose from. All the food is cooked fresh, and you can watch the chefs cooking live if that's your thing. Staff were friendly, and got us a different table when we asked for a slightly larger one. The atmosphere was very lively, but not uncomfortably so. I'd definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try lots of different foods at a good price.”
