Five leading buffet restaurants in London
The question of quality Halal and Halal-friendly buffet restaurants around London is one of the most oft-repeated ones we receive.
There’s something about eating as much as one can for a fixed price and the opportunity of sampling a range of dishes and/or cuisines that will find traction.
So if that’s what you’re after, then here’s a list of five such restaurants, starting with the impressive Aroma Buffet, in west London’s Shepherd’s Bush.
“Variety is the spice of life”, so they say. Where else can you sample such a sumptuous variety of mouth-watering food other than at Aroma Buffet in Shepherd’s Bush and all these for just a fixed price?
They started out as an Oriental buffet serving just mainly Chinese food, but have evolved and transformed in recent years into something completely different, and most of all, offering a fully Halal food menu.
West 12 shopping centre – 1st floor.
The menu now consists of food cherry picked from all corners of South East Asia. There are exotic, delicious and spicy curries from Thailand and Malaysia; freshly rolled sushi and sashimi from Japan and the old favourites from Hong Kong; along with a “live”‘ cooking station (Teppanyaki Grill) that includes a selection of Prawns, Lamb Chops, Sirloin Steak and Squid at your disposal. If these don’t satisfy you, then there are a selection of fresh fruit, cakes, a chocolate fountain and soft-serve ice cream to tantalise you afterwards.
It has recently been revamped to increase capacity and cope with demand. In the process, they’ve upgraded the interior to add to the ambienc and further enhance your experience.
