This place absolutely blew me away, I would travel the 150 mile from my home to Blackpool just to visit here. I'm a huge fan of south indian food so I was on the hunt for a decent looking place to visit one evening and we came across this place and the wife fancied it so dragging my heels off we went. We were seated in a nice part of a secluded booth, which was a plus as I'm not a lover of being too close to others (just my condition causes this, but nit important). I heade straight to the indian cuisine with very low expectations, and boy, was I in for a shock. Eating the Korai it was as good as any Korai id had in an Indian restaurant which at this point got me excited as I felt like I was about to take an exciting ride into a variety of not just different foods but quality different foods. I headed to the chinese cuisine, the chilli chicken and a seafood dish (cant remember the name) that I had were really nice, there was prawns, calamari and one of my favourite ingredients baby octopus omg it was lovely. Then, onto the duck wraps. We couldn't believe the pile of shredded duck here at our disposal. Normally, at buffets, you get a few scraps of dried up shredded duck but not here. Polished off the duck wraps, which were nice, but they just didn't excite me as much as the other dishes on offer. Please note, this was by no means anything to do with their shredded duck, it could have been the greatest shredded duck in the world but I prefer a stronger flavour in a dish which i knew i could get here. I went over to check out what to get next, I'm a meat lover, so I was drawn to the carvery, and there next to this section was a fridge with diferent uncooked meats, marinated chicken breasts, lamb chops and sirloin steaks. I asked what this was to be told you pick your protein and he will freshly grill it right there for you which nearly knocked my best socks off. I had every piece of meat and every peice was cooked to perfection. I found the steak quite to but I can forgive this as sirloin can be chewy I find. So after 7 plates of food off I shuffle to sample a dessert or 3. As I approach the desserts i find a guy cooking fresh seafood, similar to the meat set up but with seafood. There was fresh white fish in the fridge, squid prawns and there was another receptacle but this was empty. I couldn't resist, i got him to cook me squid and fresh prawns. He cooked on a flat top, threw soy sauce and a few other bits n pieces on (not sure what) omg it was out of this world. Over next to seafood guy was the sushi. I love sushi but never sampled it here as it didnt look as good as I thought it was going to be considering after what I had already experienced my expectations were now pretty high. There was only cali roll with either veg, tuna or crab stick which was a little disappointing. Anyway now for dessert. There was a huge selection of different cakes, puddings, ice creams plus a chocolate fountain. I sampled the creme brulee, the panacota and the mud cake. I cant really comment on these as Im not a big dessert eater so I wouldnt know if they were good or bad but I enjoyed them either way. They do have a no waste policy so be sure not to leave any food or you will be charged. I'm a big fan of this as I hate seeing piles of food being wasted in buffet restaurants plus theres not a chance of my leaving anything so i knew i wasnt going to be charged. This also benefited my wife and daughter because anything they didnt like or couldn't eat jyst heads my way and see to it theres no waste. Myself, my wife along with our daughter left here extremely satisfied and happy. Its certainly not the cheapest place to eat but believe me when I say its worth every penny. Message to the restaurant owners, please start a chain of your restaurant. Running a business and ensuring the business is a success certainly isnt my field of expertise but food is and after visiting your place I can guarantee no matter where you open you will be a success, even if to do so I have to visit every restaurant, every day for your food. Thank you 🙏

The food is fabulous and choices are amazing but I have to admit it's just not my cup of tea! Despite the food being excellent I found the canteen style of dining and atmosphere very distracting and uncomfortable. It's not a place to go for a quiet meal with friends in fact we had trouble paying, you have to queue at the bar along with ppl queuing to get in and over all thought it was more like a expensive bun fight. Despite booking our table for nine we had to move tables around and practically ended up pushing our table up to another familys to squeeze in and had to pop a family member on the end, in a walk way! However, that said, theres no waiting for you your food - which was delicious, very fresh and hot, the staff were friendly, the toilets were clean (tho upstairs unfortunately) and if you are looking for a quick bite on your way out of an evening this might be for you. My advice, go early - avoid Saturday night... its rammed! These photos were taken later in the evening (approx 9ish) so theres obviously busy times and quieter times.

Absolutely disgusting dry awful cold food. Complained to a member of staff who got the manager. Who called me a fat b word. Not sure if that’s how you speak to your woman but sadly that’s not the way hear. I have the whole experience on video and then the manager chased my partner down the road asking him to fight him. Saying we dint want to pay the bill. We paid the full bill before we even got a seat. Getting people to pay for refill drinks knowing full well the machine was broke absolutely disgusting behaviour from a manager AVOID at all costs people. Go th the Gurkha for best all you can eat wasn’t even in there for 20 minutes and they refused to let me put my car park chip on the machine there so giving me carjacking fees on top of the discusting food. Staff touching food not washing hands or wearing gloves. The language on the manager in front of children was disgusting 🤮

Went with my partner and his daughter for a mid week treat and really enjoyed it. There is something for everyone. I mainly picked the Chinese food and had fresh noodles from the noodle bar which were very tasty. My partner had a little bit of everything and said that the Sunday roast was very good as did his daughter who can be a fussy eater. We all had dessert the biscoff cheesecake was lovley and the ice cream was really nice. My partner enjoyed the brownie and his daughter enjoyed the apple crumble and custard. The staff were friendly and helpful and wore facemasks at all times. Got talking to a couple of them and was very impressed that after long shifts in the extremely hot weather in a very hot working environment they were still chipper and cheery. We all left very happy and pleasantly full.
