    It has a good choice of food especially on weekends, and it also has shisha right outside, the atmosphere is really nice and vibrant.

    As the title suggests this place is fine if you want a fairly cheap and quick Indian buffet. The options were quite limited, primarily chicken or lamb with the odd vegetarian option. The drinks range is also quite limited. The venue is very local so I may use again but there are far better options in the area. Service was friendly and the it's a good use of an interesting building.

    Good food with a variety of options, cooked very well and caters to many diff taste buds. Excellent for chicken lovers and those who want lots of protein. Wonderful sauce selection aswell. Owner was really nice and showed us around the whole restaurant which was very beautiful and majestic. Great service, and delicious mocktails

    It's a buffet place and you'll get exactly what you expect from a buffet restaurant: quantity, but not great quality.Having said that, I kind of enjoyed the experience as the venue is surreal. There are huge oriental lamps and golden details everywhere and you feel like you are in Pakistan rather than London, which was fun. It's cheap and fun, and service was also good, so perhaps I'd come back with a large group of friends.

    Staff extremely friendly and the buffet is excellent value for money. Great venue for groups, families or just the two of you but make sure you go there hungry as there is loads of choice and it's all delicious!

    I went to riverside lounge on the 9th Dec for my birthday with the family (5 of us) and we were very happy with everything from the service to the food.Although it was a Monday and it was quite,I enjoyed it as there was no shortage of food or queuing.The staff were attentive and cleared up our dishes as we went for more yummy food! definately recommend it to family and friends.They had an offer of 25% off Mon to Thur from the buffet total taking out the drinks.The only downside is that the car park is tiny compared to the site and the drinks should be included in the offer.Overall 4/5

    The food was average. The tough thing with a buffet is keeping the food warm and unfortunately this fell foul slightly. Nice range of food though. Maybe more lamb dishes would have been nice but that is just my personal preference over chicken. Ace mango lassi!
