  • Food was just okay considering the price. A huge variety of foods on the buffet but doesnt taste the way it should taste. You could hardly differentiate between butter chicken and chicken tikka masala.. Almost tasted the same. It was the pretty same for lamb dishes and vegeterian dishes. Also the entrees and starters were not topped up for a long time, and everyone had to wait and many went to mains directly. The samosa, onion bhajis and calamari were very very oily as if they were in a hurry and was not even drained on a tissue paper. Average

  • Food was pretty good considering the price. A huge variety of foods on the buffet to keep the missus and the kids happy, the missus tricked me into eating the vindaloo, next I was binging on water! Food is well presented on a clean buffet. The quality of the meat is great and the sauces are superb, keying up enough courage to ask whats in the sauces, you can actually buy jars of sauces. Kids love the all you can eat icecream and the wife likes the automated coffee station, theres a wider selection of tea at the Kohinoor than there is at coffee shops

  • I wouldn't normally say this about my favourite cuisine but... Terrible.

    We went on a Friday night, unfortunately we chose the buffet..
    Great selection of food ie. (approx) 6 meat dishes, 6 vegie dishes, naan, calamari (?), raita, salads, desserts.. and more.. ALL of the "curries" were bland and just unpleasant..

    The raita was surprisingly great..

For the buffet it is definitely worth the price tag if you are after a decent meal. Certainly enjoyable if you don't normally eat Indian food, but to the person who enjoys a good authentic Indian meal, this is not the place.

  • We came here mid-week and ordered the buffet menu. There was a good selection of food, 6 entrees, 6 mains, desserts, etc. Overall we found the food to be luke-warm, to the point where it was almost not enjoyable. The actual Indian dishes did not taste very authentic, they were rather creamy and westernised. The hot vindaloo dish was certainly not very spicy, and the masala and korma was too creamy and sweet. The desserts were very westernised and there was only one actual indian dessert.

There was everything from 3 types of naan, calamari, tandori chicken, lots of different curries, salads, vegetarian dishes to lots of yummy desserts including kheer, gulab jamus, vanilla mouse, icecream and hot drinks. There were both spicy and mild options so would suit anyone. All the food was delicious.

My review is going to echo most of the others for this place, so I'll keep it simple. The food was fresh and delicious. My favourites were the Lamb Korma and the paneer in spinach sauce (I've forgotten the correct name). Pappadums were kept topped up and the naan was hot and lovely. The Rice Pudding and Gulab Jamun (again, not sure about the name) were a nice end to the meal. The service, although minimal because we had the buffet, was very attentive. Our water jug was never empty and the plates were cleared away very quickly. I'd also like to note that when I called up to say we'd be there in half an hour if there was a table, the lady told me what time the buffet would be closing in case we decided to come a bit later. This thoughtfulness earned big points in my book. Overall, we had a very relaxed evening and I enjoyed the fact that you can take your time eating and not feel pressured to hurry and get out of the restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable.

When went there the food was delicious, the service was absolutely perfect and it stands as my favourite restaurant. Their Vindaloo is hot but not too hot. Their Mango Chicken is so delicious you want some more. The buffet has a variety of foods, but sometimes you have to be aware of the line. But the Tandoori Chicken lets them down.

3 couples had a lovely evening out around New Years. The buffet was absolutely wonderful, varied, delicious, hot was HOT & cold was COLD, the best Indian we ever had! Because of having buffet we didn't have too much to do with the serving staff but they kept our water glasses filled with ice water & our dirty plates cleared away. The only thing that made the evening a bit off was the table we were placed at; just a bit too close to the traffic areas. Would go back again in a split second! Cheers to this great restaurant!!!
