Great fun, friendly staff and great food. The menu changes frequently. It's noisy though, so not a place to go if you want an intimate chat.

My husband tells me I am a very fussy eater, however I have never had such delicious tapas. Beautifully fresh ingredients and lots of attention to detail and layering of tastes. Just gorgeous. I'm not fussy I have just been waiting for a place like this. We ate loads plus beer and it came to only £35. Loved it. Well done Senor Buddha

Amazing as always - food. Atmosphere. Staff. Unbeatable. Been 5+ times. The ribs are the best we have ever had. Squid and mango salad amazing. In fact there hasn’t been anything that isn’t! And always surprised at how reasonable the bill is!

It was a joy to eat there for both the food and the wonderful hospitable staff. We had a very wonderful time there, and left feeling that we had visited somewhere special. The lively atmosphere still managed to give some personal space.

intimate space with very lively vibe and -interesting tapas and raciones menu with choices for all persuasions and some great combinations and flavourings. Wine list too is inspiring as in, it steps outside the norm. Always nice to see the kitchen at work in front of you so you feel part of the whole experience. There is some originality to this place and although there was a new member of staff on the floor the night that we went who seemed a little lost and unsure of what things were etc, its obvious that this place is slickly run with good, confident, knowledgeable and entertaining service. I would definitely go again and recommend that others try it. Nice to have this as a local at Preston Circus.

Not quite as stunning as it was when we last visited a year ago. The food is drifting towards the pretentious and there is way too much salt used in almost everything. It's a more interesting restaurant than most and definitely worth a visit but they could do with going back to basics.

It's always a pleasure to eat at Señor Buddha! On this visit, soft rabbit (flavoured with both coriander seed and leaf) with rich chorizo was sensational. The thoughtful accompaniments, such as avocado-mellowed wasabi and coconut-infused pea purée, alongside impeccably prepared meat, fish, vegetables or cheese, offer exciting and often surprising flavour combinations. Friendly and efficient service, good wines and delicious food that's ambitious without being pretentious make this a firm favourite.

Love it here. Food is fantastic and you always get a warm welcome in a great atmosphere. The only reason you don't want to recommend it it because you want to keep it to yourself - but go - it's worth it.

The food was ok. The service was good. But, it was so noisey we had to shout to each other to be heard. I'm sure on a less busy night it would be a great evening. Although as I said, the food was ok.

Great food, friendly service but for me not the most comfortable of places. Very noisy environment, which was due to loud music, lots of people being packed into a small room but also a lot of banging and crushing in the kitchen

Such a great find. Lovely cosy restaurant - probably 20 - 30 covers. Staff great and were so attentive everyone took the time to explain everything. Food was so VERY tasty (hubby thought a tad too salty) but loved the variation. I think the chef's name was John he was absolutely brilliant ' he is now my new 'Master Chef' . He took the time to explain and let me try different things. I want to do a cookery day course with him please. take note. !!! I am fussy and like value for my hard earned money. Senor Buddha met all my expectations. Food and staff made the evening - will return soon. Yes I would certainly recommend.

Beautiful food in a intimate and vibrant setting. Great view of the chefs doing what they do best, and all meals came straight out, piping hot. Best ribs I have ever tasted, and the pork croquettes with rhubarb puree were divine. Staff were all very helpful and informative. 10/10 experience.
