Visited the new restaurant opened at the Fort. Unfortunately, we weren't impressed by the food at all and a slightly undercooked chicken pakora was offputting - this was shown to the staff member who just smiled, took plate away and carried on. We had hoped for a better experience but it was dissapointing.

Went here, for suppose to world buffet night and to be honest it isn’t… nothing about sound the world cuisine here. Food was cold, nothing was filled up, everything was stale and for a grand price of £20 each not including drinks.

Visited the new Fort restaurant tonight. The place was busy as it's just newly open but it was utter chaos!!! The front door and inner door were kept open for people who were queuing making the tables placed near the door quite chilly as it was raining and windy. Terrible set up. Most of the food I tried was very bland or average. Food trays lying unfilled. Anything with chicken was like rubber. Chinese curry was very runny. Sweet and sour like vinegar. Good selection of Indian curries but again chicken like rubber. Lamb chops and chicken wings were ok. Good dessert selection. So I've tried it and won't be back. If I ever feel like a buffet blowout I will drive a wee bit further and go to one with a better reputation.

We visited the Glasgow branch. Highly disappointed- never have I ever been to a buffet that I did not eat more than a full plate and dessert, I tried walking round a few times to see if the food got any better but we waited an hour and in this time, there was no poppadoms refilled, no salt and chilli chips, and multiple other items that were empty, also wrong labelled food items.. I had a spoonful of rice and 2 fries which was completely inedible, I tried some masala and the chicken was like rubber, sauce bland. my partner had pizza and pasta and was highly unsatisfied and had 1 bite of each, I tried to have desert so it wasn’t a complete waste of money and even that was really off putting - all deserts been mixed in with others, very dirty. Also the lid of the soup sat floating about for the best part of 40 minutes .. highly off puting- really do not know how this place has good reviews. Upon writing a status on Facebook informing people not to waste their money- 5 other people have commented saying they had the same experience. Maybe could be a one off but this experience will make me never return to this establishment.

We came here for lunch as a family 5. There was something for everyone's tastes and the food was lovely and fresh. The staff were lovely too.

Amazing quality of food which I wasn't expecting from a buffet!! I adored the lamb buhna and the butter chicken curry the most 😭🩷 I was a little lost how it all works as the staff didn't explain but after I asked they were super helpful. Definitely coming back!

We've been going here since it opened and have always been impressed with the food and service, unfortunately this was not the case today. The restaurant was quiet and staff friendly as always but sadly the food was terrible. Pizza was like cardboard and cold, cajun chicken pasta, curry and rice lukewarm, chips freezing. Fruit and salad bar tinned rather than fresh, the fresh fruit has always been a highlight so we didn't even try any. Extremely disappointed and won't be back anytime soon.

Been to this restaurant a few times now. Excellent every time. Great Currys, Chinese etc. the food is as good as I have had in any Indian. Only gripe is, sometimes the odd thing might not be as hot as I would like, but main dishes are usually hot. Their king prawn curry and Thai prawn curry is excellent. You will not be disappointed in this place. Staff are very friendly and a credit to the business. My mouth is watering just writing this, I am sure it won't be long before I AM back.

Went with Husband and 2 kids on a Tuesday at around 4pm. Had never tried Booffi before but heard all the adverts on the radio and decided to give it a go as sounded really good. We were welcomed by a lovely member of staff, who explained how things worked and pointed out where all the dishes were. That was the best thing about the visit!!! My Husband and son used the toilet before getting any food and when they came out said it was terrible and not clean at all. Then we walked around the buffet looking at the dishes to make a choice. Most of them looked as though had been lying for several hours and did not look appetising at all. Kids refused to eat anything and must admit I was struggling to choose too!! Really disappointed as we had been looking forward to it!! Have been to other buffet restaurants and quality much better and continually putting out fresh dishes!! The price was also a bit much when considering the state of the food. We decided to leave and thanked the lovely server for her attention, as felt bad as she had been lovely.

A lot of the food was lukewarm and congealed…most unappetising! The lady who greeted us was very nice though and others seemed to enjoy it. Would we go back? Eh a great big NO!

Absolutely disgusting. Wish I read the reviews before I went. Tasteless even the juice has no taste to it. And for the price you pay per adult is shocking.

after looking at this resturant,s website it advertised two dine for £25.99 which seemed reasonable so we went for dinner (food was good) when it came to pay the bill we were charged full price for food which was£37.98.when i quiered the bill i was told that the deal ended a few weeks ago but when i got home the website still stated two for £25.99 so be careful and check before you go here to eat on thursdays

Staff unwelcoming, seemed like they didn't want to be there. For a boofi you'd expect a better selection than there was, yoghurt and mint sauce tasted funny. Churros were rock hard. The nicest member of was the lady taking our payment at the end and smiled. Maybe other staff should spend time with her for customer service training. What we had was ok apart from the above.

First time trying booffi was alright but wouldn't rush back to go again staff were lovely food was fresh but limited to what I could have due to food allergies. I'm not a fan of buffet style foods when it comes to world buffet places but thought give it a try and was nice just to try something different, and being able to experience it for myself instead of just seeing it on social media platforms.

The fresh plates were all dirty and there wasn't any cutlery in the trays so had to keep using same cutlery even thou we asked 3 different staff members for fresh cutlery to be brought for us and the other customers in the restaurant who needed it and also not once did any of our finished plates get taken away even thou the staff constantly just wondered by our table slow as anything...really bad service ...I heard a few tables saying the same as us it was dirty and service was terrible

Food is always good. Don't let a guy stand in the customer service area taking about his family issues and scratching his face constantly. Puts folk off their meal.

My husband & I had a lunchtime takeaway. Probably the best Chinese we have ever had. The food was cooked to perfection,the staff friendly & it was very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back when we are in the area.

I think this is the service in Alexandria,food was nice, was a lot, was super tasty. These guys do takeaway only, but they outshine all the other places in Balloch and Alexandria, I've been to almost all of them. So if you want something tasty, this is the place for you. I put a lot of emphasis on service, everything is clear and concise. Keep it up guys, thanks.

Ordered BBQ spare ribs assuming they would come with sauce, this was not the case. Went looking online for the menu afterwards (which is a hassle to fine by the way) and discovered that they charge 30p for sauce. When I phoned and ordered I wasn't asked whether I would like them with sauce or not so what I received was a tray of 5 ribs, 3 of which were extremely small, that was bland-tasting, dry and overcooked. Oh and they also came with a poorly cut slice of lemon...why? Is it to supposed to offset the dryness and blandness? Know what would have done a better job of that? Sauce.

Tried all of the Chinese takeaways in Clydebank and this has to be the most economical very large portions very tasty, with a choice of free extras after £18 spend.. all meals with prawn crackers.
