Ibrahimi. My advice to anyone is to order a takeaway and ask to eat that in the restaurant. That way you will get everything you want.
Make no mistake Ibrahimi is very popular BUT if you arrive with your party, you cannot be seated until all arrive (we had 30 in ours!)
So having been seated it is a self serve buffet with a wide range of shallow servery dishes but as they run out, or people have picked over the dishes (taken the chicken but just left the sauce so they don't look empty!!!)
The dishes are not renewed nearly quickly enough. I asked three times for a nan bread, at 8:30pm none came. So I gave up.
The restaurant only serves a range of soft drinks. You bring your own alcohol, a modest corkage charge is applied.
So although our party enjoyed the atmosphere, I cannot recommend the buffet as to my mind no nan means it was incomplete.
I was also not too impressed with the state of the servery, many of the hot servery units were missing protective spit screens and the serving utensils not cleaned often enough.
Generally the buffet food service area needs closer attention, a regular deep clean and serving utensils changed/ cleaned say every 15 minutes. All this to minimise cross infection.
So out of choice I would not go again, but if I'm dragged along with a party, I'd advise getting in early if only to get the best out of the buffet as clearly the dishes are not being refreshed, quickly enough,...
Read moreAll you can eat Indian buffet. Very nice food, especially if you like Indian. There is quite a few spicy dishes to choose from, the labels indicate the name of the dish, but does tell you how hot they are, which is fine if you don't mind spicy food. There are English food choices also like pizza & chips etc and also salads and fresh fruit. For dessert there is plenty of ice creams to choose from & English puddings such as crumbles & cheese cake. They don't serve alcohol here but they have a wide range of juices and fizz. I like the freshly made smoothies & the non alcoholic cocktails. The only downside is the very limited parking, the carpark is small & fills up quickly, you could end up parking outside someone's house on the street. It is very busy on Saturday's, if you book a table before hand, you still have to wait for one when you arrive. Also there is only one till to pay for your meal afterwards & they charge for using a debit card. They also prefer for groups to pay as one & not individually, which is understandable as they only have one till. They cater for birthday parties too. All round I quite like it here. The food is good & there are plenty of staff to help you. The prices are cheaper than other restaurants. I recommend visiting during the week if you don't...
Read moreI visited Ibrahimi with 2 of my sister's and 5 year old daughter their food was disgusting and dull we paid £72 for 3 adults 1 child and 2 bottles of drink and still we were insulted when we paid, staff member at the till said you wasted so much food you will be charged extra in future. The owner and the staff members were keeping an eye on us i agree we did waste some food but it wasn't intentional we were trying new dishes just because one we wanted to eat was not available most of their food trays are empty most of the time plus they charged me £10.95 for my 5 year old even though she ate only few chicken nuggets and we ordered 2 bottles of drink second we left there was 3/4 full, they charge 4.50 for drink, we had to get cake pudding twice because there was only small piece left when my sister went to get some, their staff member was really rude and said we're not bringing more out until that piece is gone we've been waiting for them to bring out fresh cake but they took really long so we took that piece it was burnt and really hard not suitable to eat this place is not giving their customers friendly environment because they're watching customers all the time there's no privacy their service is really bad and staff is really rude never...
