Red Hot Buffet Review

So Amy and I went to 'Red Hot Buffet' in Leeds city centre today. We have been there once before but weren't really looking at it from a critics point of view. I am not going to go into too much depth as it's only really a mini review of the restaurant. So here goes...

The Good:

• The serviece was reasonable. The staff were friendly and helpful but could benifit from speeding up a little.                        
• The quality and portions of the meat were terrific. Amy tried the salt and pepper chicken wings and the prawns. The chicken wings tasted like they were fresh off the BBQ and the prawns were coated in a fresh seafood sauce that complimented them beautifully.
• Another good point would be the choice that is offered. With food from seven different countries and the option of a meal freshly prepared in front of you at one of their live cooking stations, you are spoiled for choice.
• Amazing range of well presented desserts.
• The interior is warm, spacious and welcoming with certain areas being themed, which is always fun!
• They also make a decent latte.

 

The Bad:

• Apart from the ice cream, the desserts were not kept chilled.
• This isn't really a bad thing it is more something to be wary of. Some of the food (more so the vegetables) werent what they seemed, for instance I tried some sweetcorn that tasted slightly like an mint aero bar and some broccoli that tasted as if it were boiled in a salted wine. Amy tried the corn on the cob and found it overspiced and overcooked. Now I am aware that these dishes are from all around the world, i'm not ignorant to that, but I think that they should state a little more clearly how they have prepared it eg. boiled in wine or fished from the fiery depths of hell.

The Bottom Line:

 Overall the experience was brilliant and for the price, well worth it. They may let themselves down in certain areas but make up for it ten-fold in others. I would give it an 8/10.

I suppose this isn't really relevent but I loved this cool glowing sink in the restroom!
