   We meet as a group of friends regularly at Far Buddah but will head elsewhere next time. We were placed next to a Christmas work party. I considered to move as the noise level was high. Then I thought, if they had spare tables then they would have placed us with space between the tables... As the night went on the table got louder still to the point I couldn't hear the people opposite me at our table. I would have fully understood that this is that time of year but the restaurant did not fill out beyond 50% capacity, so it certainly would have been kinder to all if they had spaced us out better. Last moan: when my friend ordered their main they ordered a fish dish and when they orders the rice they requested a lamb rice. The server frowned upon this and advised that the two didn't go together. My friend said that he wanted to try different things. But by now the damage was done and he ended up having garlic rice instead to go with his garlic naan... I don't think this was fair at all. If a customer asks for recommendations then I fully get it, but if, like my friend was there to try different things, then they should be allowed to do so without judgment. Very sad, but all things come to an end.

   The Fat Budda is my favourite Indian Restaurant and it never disappoints. The food was amazing and the service friendly. Will be back soon.

   Just a really nice place to eat, the food was clearly freshly prepared with quality ingredients. All very nice, maybe a little expensive but very nice.

   The food is good but the cost is way too high relative to the quality. I have no issue paying the bill but will be unlikely to be hurrying back sadly.

   Enjoyed our meal at The Fat Buddha. Service was excellent as was the recommendation for the delicious Buddaha Chicken. However have to say was disappointed with the butter chicken as was quite different to any I'd had before. Would recommend a visit, though.

    Wanted to taker the family on a curry night out for my wife's birthday and was recommended The Fat Buddha by a friend and it was amazing! We were warmly greeted as we entered and shown to our table, it was 5.30pm on a Wednesday so we had our pick. The staff were all extremely helpful and very friendly and waited on us hand and foot. The food was quite simply........amazing! We all shared the starters which were a mix of popadoms, onion bhajees and samosas and they were delicious, we were in danger of eating too much and spoiling our apatites before our main courses. I can honestly say that when the mains came out that everything was perfect, the curries, rice and naans had so much flavour in them all that we all got to the point where we thought we couldn't eat another thing. Then they brought out a complimentary birthday cake for us all to share which we pretty much demolished. Amazing food, great service, a brilliant night.
