top food, great atmosphere, great value for money definitely return again
Amazing! Food is incredible the atmosphere is so lovely and welcoming and I can’t wait to go back! So much variety honestly the best around the world Buffett I’ve ever been too!
had a great night food was nice and fresh plenty to choose from
Great choice of foods freshly cooked , why go elsewhere really nice atmosphere 👌
I am really quite disappointed about the meal we had today. We were told payment would be taken at the table before we ate and this wasn’t done. Instead it was done mid meal when we were all eating. Which I found extremely rude. I asked if that could be done when we’d finished but the waiter ignored my request and carried on. We had to ask two different waiter for a jug of water. At no point did any one ask if we wanted to order drinks. I had to put all of our plates on another table as no one removed them as we were eating. We had to ask twice for my daughters cake to be bought out and when it did the candles had been put on for a 31 year old and not a 13 year old and my daughter is clearly a teenager. You can tell this just by looking at her! No one once came over and asked if we weee ok or if we needed anything and no one said thank you or goodbye. I feel this is unacceptable and would like someone to either email me back about this or call me. Weekesy_4@hotmail.com tel - 07775439075. We spent over £300 today and the service was non existent.
What can I say apart from thankyou for giving my son a perfect 18th birthday , from the very first phone call to reserve the table the gentleman couldn't of been more helpful allowing me time to bring in the cake and set up the table , the timing to bring out the cake was spot on and the table service was outstanding and very attentive , not sure on the servers name but he had a pony tail and I just want to give him some credit he was brilliant , the food was on point plenty of choice , was lovely and hot and loads of options for everyone , I really can't thank you enough and we will 1000% be returning very soon
Not much food choice at all. Mainly Indian cuisine. Not good quality at all. Made to pay first or else I would've refused. 45 pound wasted for our family at lunch time. No muscles or oxtail as mentioned on their website at lunchtime. Very disappointed won't be going again first and last time. Way better buffets to go to for that price.
It was very nice and had a amazing variety of drinks and the food was amazing and loads of different types of food.Will definitely go again!
Variety of dishes including vegetarian. Would highly recommend, one of the best buffet restaurants I have been to
Not alot on offer food went cold as soon plate and restaurant was cold due to aur con unit
Very nice,busy but still easy to get to the food.
Lamb seemed a bit strange texture and flavour not enough marinade has got worse over time Also the chef cooking them seems different not enough attention or experience from other chefs
Just thought food was average. Some stations the food was luke warm. Service was slow with seating and getting drinks too!
It was a beautiful experience food was amazing people was lovely & polite thank you for a beautiful meal 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The steak was undercooked and the grilled fish wasn’t fresh. We couldn’t eat it. Probably just a bad day in the kitchen.
No much choice and was only just about warn at best wasn’t told that less than half the food stations was not available .when we complained we was told sorry and that was it . so as my first visit not it was not a great start.
Great evening, was very busy but staff were friendly and food was good
Perfect visit. Staff attentive and efficient. Food hot, plentiful and tasty
To star with the welcoming was on board,the food was well cooked and mouth watering the,waiters were absolutely stunning
Food was lovely, a lot of choice for a lunchtime. Served hot and look as nice as it tasted.
Food was okay but customer service was poor, tables were all cramped together so we were constantly knocking chairs with people behind us. Waiters only collected our plates twice when we asked didn’t do it off their own accord so didn’t have much space on our table. Not much desert option either I don’t think we would return, if we didn’t have to pay first I think we definitely would have complained but it seemed too much hassle to at the end as it was very unorganised with people everywhere it was easier to just leave. Baby changing room was also not great as the station is half broken so had to change baby on my lap
We thought that our 1st visit was good But the New Year’s Eve lunch exceeded that . It was Amazing. However at the Premium rate. It was Delicious though, can’t argue that. Thankyou All
Good choice of food, friendly efficient service. Thank you Saphari.
Alot of the starter food was barely warm but the mains were fine.
Well for a new years day I expected alot more. Most of the sauces were not available. We booked for 7:30pm but was sat waiting at the table to pay as you have to pay on arrival for around 30 minutes. In that time we were also waiting for drinks. Finally it got sorted by 8pm, finally sat and had a plate of food to be then told get what you want now as it closes at 9pm and they will start taking the food away. Didn't get hardly any food in the end. Not happy at all. I would definitely recommend trying cosmo you would never be waiting that long to pay amd for your drinks the not end up with the sitting time your supposed to receive. I told one of the staff but nothing was offered back so it will be our last time going there.
We visited the restaurant the evening of 19th December to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and successful phD. The staff were amazing and the food was incredible. Visited here a few years ago and had to really talk myself into booking with bad past experience. Anyone with any doubts please do not hesitate you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to returning soon!
Saw bad reviews, but was totally satisfied with the entire experience, food was great and the staff very pleasant, definitely recommend
From the moment we walked in we felt we were not welcome, we arrived 5 minutes before our booking to allow time for running behind as it was Xmas day so they were bound to be behind slightly, the front of staff member was very blunt and not at all pleasant I understand that they were very busy however a smile and a welcome would not have hurt, however his manners did, Then we were waiting around for half an hour staff were walking past us but not attending to us so I pulled one aside as they past my table and asked what do we do about payment as the front of house abruptly stated it is payment upfront which is fine after that was sorted we went onto get our starters the food was ok I’ve had far worse but paid far less for it too, fast forward to nearing the end of our visit a staff member was clearing our plates and after watching me go into the food area we returned to find she had disposed of our drinks and then stated that she thought we had gone, I’m sorry but she works there and she knows there is not an exit that way, then as I visited the disgusting toilets ( which is something I’d expect to find in a run down watering hole not a place that is presented like Saphari) I was informed we had 10 minutes to finish our drinks and leave the table :o? Really? I’m lost for words had I known this type of attitude was happening in this place I would never of booked anyway lesson learned and if I get asked for a recommendation for this place I shall simply say “ go to your local takeaway the welcome is warmer and they appreciate your custom unlike this place who just take your money and then try to rush you out of the door
I took my mom (she's 83 and uses a waking aid) out for our 1st Xmas lunch away from home, to be honest we was a bit disappointed, the overall experience was good atmosphere great, service from staff brilliant, food not so good starters great variety, main menu good selection vegetables No CREAMED POTATOES poor quality the sprouts were frozen and not good could not eat them carrots some were cooked and raw still. The dessert selection yum yum BT didn't have enough time to get to eat and enjoy out dessert as it took mom a long time to walk to get our food each course. They did give us an extra 10 minutes but kept walking round us this made us feel rushed. We will go again but not for any special occasion.
Lovely food , massive variety everything was warm and fresh . Didn’t wait long to be seated . Plenty of drinks choices. Nice and clean
Food was nice, waited a long time to take payment, some staff were blunt and rude. Only one person on the bar trying to serve lots of people.
We visited at lunchtime, 5 adults and 5 children. Not enough choice of food, some hot dishes were cold Not many sweet options.
First time here since it changed over from Flavours. The food was absolutely beautiful, full of flavour. Very friendly happy staff. Will definitely be returning. :)
Always a great restaurant to visit. Great for family gatherings, so much choice of dishes, the lamb in the dishes is so tender its mouth watering
It’s a great place for family or group gatherings to eat. Food is always amazing and a great choice of dishes.
Food was bland no real effort for Christmas Day , won’t be going back
amazing people and food really enjoyed it would go again
Always a pleasure to dine at , great choice of different dishes that taste perfect
Lots of variety, good quality. Parking onsite. Value for money.
Felt they were not very accomodating. Were also trying to take plates off the table still full of food and not finished with.
They squeezed 7 of us on a table for 6 so we had very little room to eat comfortably. Service was slow bringing drinks and got the order wrong. Guy cooking the meat had no idea what he was doing, beef and lamb both cremated and inedible. A lot of the other food was too salty. Over allbkot a great experience.
Absolutely brilliant the food was so lovely we all loved the different choices of food the atmosphere was lovely. The staff were very polite.
Lovely Time at Saphari on Christmas Day. Food and staff were lovely 🥰 Only thing I would say is 1 hour 45 mins is not enough time to sit.
Really enjoyed it. Good tasty food and efficient service thanks
The food was delicious and lots of choice and nice atmosphere
Yeah it was really good atmosphere and the staff are always very welcoming and good at keeping everything clean and tidy. The food is amazing as always such a good variety! This was out 2nd Christmas and we will be back next year too 🎄 oh..... the only thing that they could have done again (like last year) was to put crackers on the table 👌🏻 it's the little touches that make a difference, especially at Christmas time 🎄
An excellent Christmas service with great food. I can’t think of anywhere I’d prefer to spend the day at, it’s unbeatable.
Got a table for 4 even though there’s 5 of us, staff rude & food sb standard was much better last year won’t be back
Food was fire. Took a bit too long for bill to arrive. Maybe cause it’s Christmas so its a bit busier
