Disappointed teacher discount wasn't applied although gesture of wine was kind. Had to ask several members of staff about it who passed us one to another and noone had a real clue then you decided that payment should be taken whilst we were actually eating. Hot vegetarian meals were limited tonight and members of staff didn't know what halal is. For someone who loves a night out at this restaurant I am left incredibly disappointed especially as it became quite rowdy and intimidating at times
More veggie options please, the Chinese offering could be a bit more diverse
We came in for 9.15 and made the payment. Unfortunately when we got the buffet, there was no food only few left overs. I spoke to one of the ladies who said they will be topping up from the kitchen There was no top. They knew we are the last set of customers they should have advised us but no. They were after taking money. It was my sons 16th birthday but it was a complete waste of money. We spoke to the manager but not helpful at all. We have a lot of family friends that comes regularly to the restaurant and we did share our experience with them. For me we are definitely not coming back. We could have done better at Nandos honestly.
Seated really quickly Staff were very polite and helpful Food was excellent and plenty
Great food. Great atmosphere. Good price. Go again very soon
Amazing choices of food to keep all the family happy
Screaming children were sat by the large table/ quiet area I always book away from the main part of the restaurant due to one of our guests being noise sensitive / adhd . And because I’m registered blind so find it hard to hear when there is to much noise
Lovely meal for my birthday. Food was lovely. If I had to moan about anything. I’d say need a better system to gets drinks, as there was a long wait. But didn’t put us off and will defo be back.
drinks could have been quicker but overall amazing staff and atmosphere today
Quieter on the Tuesday. Staff polite and looked after us . Food was good as always. We had a nice couple of hours.
Staff are so welcoming and helpful. Lovely place to go.
Terrible. Barely any food on at lunch time although charging extra for festive period.
lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, lovely food. Left happy and stuffed! Will definitely visit again
Lovely food plentiful of choice and value for money. Wonderful pleasant staff too will be back 😊
The staff made us feel welcome and they served us so nicely and professionally. We enjoyed the food so much
Waited 20mins to be seated no organisation at Start otherwise food was great Service could of been better Lack of food choices
Great food enjoyed by myself and my husband def recommend
Loved this restaurant, it was our first time , we did change seats because it was a bit too noisy where we were .
Fantastic, fabulous selection all food cooked to perfection and my 11 year old loved all choices. Thanks for a lovely meal
Staff was friendly and the food was fab would recommend
I booked a table for 12 people for my sons birthday when we got there they had to put an extra table on the end for another 2 people right by the fire exit door it was freezing sat there… we had to wait ages before we could pay so we could eat we had to wait ages for glasses so we could get drinks it was our first time to this restaurant … don’t think we will be going back..!! Would rather of travelled to go to cosmos over Wolverhampton but thought we would try there being closer to home..!!!
We attended as a large group and the staff were efficient and polite. The food was varied and of an excellent quality. Food was well presented and hot. It was a Birthday celebration and there was no issue with taking your own cake and again the staff were excellent at supporting with this and even sang happy birthday to my daughter. The only thing that stopped an amazing review was we had a nut allergy and there was no allergy information with the dishes or provided. The chef did talk my wife through what she couldn't eat and which food items contained nuts but this didn't stop her having a reaction even though she avoided the dishes with nuts. I would suggest that the staff ask which nuts the person is allergic to do as my wife is also has an allergy to coconut which is not part of the usual nut allergy. That said this did not ruin our evening and would recommend Saphari to our friends and we will definitely be returning 😊
Very little choice considering price increase for Christmas period there was a lot less food than the last time I ate lunch there and it was cold or bland I'm guessing there's been a change in management and suppliers maybe as quality seemed to have dropped. It was very disappointing as we used to love popping here for a girls lunch. It was unusually quiet too which I guess is another reason for less choice of food. You also now pay before you eat or even see the food on offer
Beef steaks was absolutely awful, hand made pasta was to much burned, meals are getting worst I am not first time here but I noticed it's getting worst
Plenty of food at the buffet and all hot and tasty.
the only problem was waiting for glass for refill drinks and lagar to over 20mins after paying other than that for was hot and it was a lovely evening
Good range of food staff friendly not to expensive definitely worth a visit
Good food, good variety, good service, all clean, good time.
lovely restaurant with different varieties of food and tasty. Good job to the chefs
it was lovely seeing the crispy fried shrimps again.as I really enjoyed eating it. my family also enjoyed themselves. lovely place to always go
Good food. Decent prices as well. I would recommend it.
Amazing food, and lovely staff. Head chef is excellent. Thanks
Great welcoming staff, explained the process and showed to our seats. Great food and wonderful selection.
The entire restaurant smelt like urine so I did not eat. My daughters birthday meal was a disaster. The staff were very invasive over the table and didn't speak English.
Good service and food quality, had a good time thanks
Poor quality food...cold and lukewarm. Some food was over cooked n greasy
Some staff was rude, pushing past and nearly knocking plates out of hands and not waiting, when cleaning around food one knocked my husbands arm and not said sorry and getting plates with a miserable face and not saying anything. Not been there for sometime and I’m very shocked how it’s changed and won’t be going back. We didnt have a lot to eat due to all this when we spent a lot on a Saturday evening.
Lovely atmosphere, polite and pleasant staff. Superb selection of foods! Looking forward to visiting again
As always we had a good time in Safari. Delicious food and amazing service. If I could afford I will go there everyday to have a meal 😄. Thank you all 🙏
Great experience Natin was amazing with my boys so friendly.
The over all visit was good. The three waitresses made the visit extra special by signing happy birthday to my son twice...a big thank you to them. The only downside was whilst we were where eating a lady came asking for payment....this should have been done before we were seated or just as we come through the door.
Price was different from website and the service had forgotten bring salt and pepper for long waiting
We go regularly, it's a bit far away but absolutely worth it. Always enjoy it there. We would HIGHLY recommend Saphari 👌 👍 😀
Was greeted ta smile and was shown to our table, then we were left and weren't sure if what to do. We then got our food and when we began to eat we were greeted with a, you must pay now, which I thought was unprofessional and strange that I didn't read anything about pau before you dine on the website or when we entered. Food was okay, but unfortunately if you are a wheelchair users you will find it extremely hard to see what each dish is (as the names we hidden by the serving trays) and serve yourself independently.
Food was nice. But everytime I got up to take the children to get a plate or take them to the toilet the waiters kept taking my plate of food that I was still eating off the table (a fresh plate of food) twice. I dont like food waste so it would be good to check if people are fully finished with their meal before removing. Other than that the waiters and waitresses are very good at removing plates in a timely manner and are respectable. Also there needs to be more cutlery available as had to ask the waitress to fetch more spoons as I couldn't see any available. Its a nice restaurant, nicely decorated, good value for money. It's very noisy though and it was very busy for a Thursday evening. Maybe have some music in the background would be good.
From the minute you walk in it was amazing. Friendly staff, amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere.
The worst restaurant experience not worth the money at all
It was mediocre at best to be honest nothing to rave about
First visit and really like the food and atmosphere would recommend
Some of the staff was rude, one shouted at the top of her lungs excuse me, aimed at my partner when she herself was letting someone else through. She then proceeded to brush past my partner. Who then was pushed into me by the passing staff member.
