Buffet Time Restaurant & Karaoke - (Near , london)

Kalina Christev Short review: great food, fast service, good prices. Definitely recommend! Small Somali restaurant my friend introduced me to. I got the soup of the day as an appetiser and slow cooked lamb with rice as a main, with speciality tea after. The soup of the day was a lamb bone broth with lemon, and it was DIVINE. So delicious, so warming. They bring this amazing chili sauce you can add to it which makes it absolutely perfect. (Be warned - it is very spicy! Only add one small teaspoon at a time!) I would come back just for that soup as its the best Ive ever had. And only £1.50! The lamb shoulder was very tender and the rice was really well seasoned. The veg sprinkled on top was just right. For the rice, its recommend to mix in a few teaspoons of the chili sauce (again - its very hot so dont add lots in one go). Bananas were brought to the table with the option of adding them to the rice, but I didnt try it. £10 for a very large portion. We had some kind of Somali tea with milk, cardamom and cinnamon at the end. I dont know what it was, but it was lovely.

Pete Dawson Super mod/soul day today (7th Sept 2025, 1 to 5pm). Hoping they do this on a regular basis: DJ playing mod soul classics on vinyl, then home for a roast! Vespas and some charming bull dogs joined in with the vibe. Well done Farmers.

Victoria M I haven’t been in this place for at least 3-4 years. And feedback I would like to give is absolutely great! Food, service and place itself. I completely forgot how great place it is if it’s a sunny day. Beautiful veranda and garden seats. I ordered fish of the day and some monkfish tacos. All was extremely fresh, fish were melting so soft. Will definitely consider this place for summer times and any other times if to sit indoors.

Giles Robertson Absolutely delicious! Beautiful tartare to start, accompanied by a crisp salad and cheese dumplings. The mushrooms and pickled chilli really made the dumplings sing. Highlight was definitely the devilled mackerel. Amazing flavour and a generous portion. The wine list is also great, with the orange and rose wines matching perfectly with delicious plum ripple ice-cream and grapefruit meringue pie.

Xanthe This is hands down my favourite restaurant in London. I have dined here over the years alongside their sister restaurants and it’s just the best. The food is always incredible and the staff are amazing. I always feel welcomed in this establishment. They are attentive and great to see the kitchen in action as you dine. I have never had a bad experience here and honestly I don’t think I ever will. 10/10!

Nav Aslam Tasty fish and chips. Fried on order so came nice and hot.
