Mr Basrai's World Cuisines in Blackpool

Never made it to the table - rude unfriendly people with no interest in customer satisfaction at all. If you can't great customers with respect, don't bother !

Cold soup. Freshly cooked steak was tuff as old boots could not even cut it with my knife, says it was sirloin I don't think so probs cheap frying steak. NO PRAWNS on the salad bar. Food that was on the hot plates was cold,stale,rubbery not nice at all. Everything had dried up. The man cooking the stir frys which I did get some prawns was ignorant, didn't smile, I was going to ask him what charm school he went too. We will not be returning to this restaurant. Save your money and go else where. £44 is alot for 2 people when it's a load of rubbish.

Staff nice, Chinese food, grill and noodle bar excellent. Staff nice and helpful. Food average for a Buffett would return

We decided to come here on a whim as the original place we wanted was fully booked, glad we did. Although a very busy restaurant, staff were totally on the ball.. from getting us sat down, drinks to refilling food to taking plates away, so quickly. Food was very lovely too. Will come back next time we’re in Blackpool 👌🏻

Everyone is crowded in like cattle and tables are so close together. We did visit on a weekend though so it’s bound to be busier. Food choice is good, lots and lots of options and was hot too. A lot of stations were empty and running out but the ones that were full, were tasty. Lots of curry choices. Can cut your own meat for the carvery which I liked and the drinks are also free refills which I think is rare at buffets. Lots of choice for puddings aswell altho pudding area for messy and food everywhere! Overall a good experience and would return.

You can't split the bill between your group and we were asked to pay half way through eating , usally at all you can eats you pay before being seated or after you have eaten

Too busy, rushed and the food wasn't brilliant, too much choice can lower the quality. The worst thing was waiting for the plates to be refilled. Not enough staff.

We visit here very frequently as a pick me up after work. The food is always fantastic, the staff are so lovely and always go above and beyond. Such a little gem in Blackpool and the free parking above whilst you dine is a fantastic incentive. Ps. The beef in black bean sauce is to die for!

Staff didn't know if they were coming or going

Good variety of food Good service Indian food was better before, chicken in masala doesn't look fresh. However, still I recomend it. I invited family from US and they were impressed by the food and service.

There was a lot of Chinese, if there was more of different stuff it would be a 5. Fir the American it was chicken nuggets and onion rings.

Food is not allright, not wow but allright. Had better bufets and cheper that this. And what was socking for us was that made us pay for our 11 months baby to get in. I told them that is is not eating and the gut at the bar sayd very rude that if we don't pay for her she can't eat food from our plates. We was 4 people,tired and hungry so we got in anyway

1 year old kid have to pay £5 just to sit at the table

So much choice across so many cuisines that it's impossible to try everything in one visit! Very busy and classy place and the food is excellent

Excellent food especially the indian dishes. Only slightly let down with the quality of the sushi. Apple pie and custard was delicious.

Good food! Great value for money. Enjoyed the food and ate till I was full

Spoilt for choice from carvery, sushi, Indian, Chinese, pizza, salad, desserts and a noodle bar and a pasta and risotto bar 😋 it all was hot and fresh. Love that they have refill drinks too!! Staff were pleasant and helpful which is always fantastic! As first timers we will definatly be back as its great value for money!!

The fresh risotto and grilled meats are fab. Don't think people always realise they are there at the various stations to be asked for

Went with my family and we all enjoyed it, It was a very busy place and the staff were very efficient

Great place to eat if you can't decide what you want and it's cheap for a all you can eat

me and my wife booked a table for 6 o'clock having come down from bradford for the comedy club. When we arrived they was a huge cue but the door said booking have priority so we walked straight in. Only to speak to a couple that had been waiting over and hour an a half to be seated having booked there table for half 4. Only to be told at the same time as us they was no free spaces and our booking is cancelled the person who told us this was rude and was trying to push us out of the door like actually pushing. This place needs a serious upgrade of staff and maybe not take walks in if it mean people who booked 4 days in advance can't get in certainly won't be back if I could give it no stars at all I would

Sulit!!! Absolutely delicious !! A lot of good choices from different cuisines. staff are very accommodating. Very recommended ❤️ Sensational experience 🥳

Everything about our visit was very good. Deserts were excellent. Will come again.

No limits on the number of visits you make to serve yourself 🍴- plenty of plates and cutlery & the choice of food goes on & on

Nice place to eat with the family. Good choice of different foods. Food was OK about what you expect from an all you can eat buffet. And free parking aswell which sweetened the deal. But the toilets do need attention as only 1 cubicle open in the men's and the toilet seat was fitted very poorly

Serves was great food plenty of choice for afternoon sitting would definitely come back 👌

Quick service. Seated at our table promptly. Food was absolutely incredible. Two things I would say is we weren't shown where the food was which I know is obvious but the majority of buffets will give a brief description of where different foods are located. Second thing is the dessert section was quite empty when we got to it and the apple crumble was extremely hard and dry due to it sitting there for a while.

Beautiful restaurant with impeccable food and amazing atmosphere and great service.

It’s best restaurant in blackpool it’s pretty decent farily good value for the food

A lovely selection of food which is made very very quick and well, the table are cleared frequently and very well organised

Service was very quick and great,staff was friendly, warm welcoming us.Multiple choice of food there. We recommend to all please visit a once. Thank you mr.basrai 😊we will meet soon

Went in and afternoon, never been before. Great place, great selection of food and a good price too

Very nice and clean place, staff are very friendly and bar service is very fast.

The Service was Awesome, Ms Dhvani is attentive and excellent in her services. Highly recommend.

First time I have been to a Mr Basrai’s buffet in a few years and i am saddened by how downhill it was went. Attended the Blackpool one on 10th September with my friend and the only relatively good thing was my friends sirloin steak. Food was lukewarm/cold. Desserts were sickening and not much variation. I had 2 small plates of savoury food and never finished either due to the standard of it. Will not be back.

Not good, not worth money, echoed by very few people in place on a Tuesday evening, maybe 90% vacant.

*SEVERE FOOD POISENING* Wasnt expecting anything spectacular as we have been before and reaction was mixed last time. Firstly they charged me £5 for a one year old to attend which I found a little extreme. However this is no big issue. Initially the food seems good and pretty much everything was to our liking. Towards the end of the meal my partner noticed the chicken was slightly pink on the inside, which I then pointed out to the staff to ensure no one else would eat that particular batch. My concern was met with dismissal, barely a word, certainly not a sorry. Any way I digress we ended the meal shortly after and headed home. Upon getting home my wife complained of stomach pains which we both put down to just pregnancy not agreeing with the greasy food. Long story short, from the next morning we have both had severe food poisoning, liquid coming out of both ends. My partner visited the GP to receive advice on what to do while pregnant if there is blood in her stool due to this, the GP confirmed this is a sign of severe food poisoning. Look up possible complications with this, they aren't nice. I'm currently writing this review from my toilet 35 hours later, unable to leave and in substantial pain and discomfort. Cheers Mr Basrais. Just very lucky my one year old daughter didn't eat the chicken. Will not be returning again.

Terrible buffet.worst all u can eat ive ever been too

Waste of money Our second visit here and we were appalled that standards were much less than when we came last year. All main dishes were dry, very poor quality, not worth the money we spent. Deserts were tasty though. Overall I won’t be rushing to come back, waste of money.

Food wasn't the best this time alot of stuff was empty alot of the time and was not as hot service was ok

The best place for me when I don't know what food I fancy ( one of those moments). For the same price I might not enjoy a good variety of food elsewhere. Friendly staff too. Signed: the lad that use to ask a glass of house red wine each visit. :-)

Absolutely worst customer service ever me and my partner ate hear and she chip a tooth on the first bite of her food we ask for a refund for only for her as i ate and she couldn't eat anything because of the pain. The managers attitude stank he had a go saying we was making it up and shouted at us so we left Will never ever go back AVOID!!!!

Food was not the best would not visit again

It was my first time visiting the buffet restaurant with the wife, it was very busy and the food was very fresh. You also can park upstairs in the car park for free for two hours.

Look, it is what it is. As world buffets go, it's pretty decent, fairly good value for the food, and the beer is where they make their profit. Staff are all friendly and helpful, a lot of them are very young and probably not getting paid much but they're professional. Range of dishes is decent but there's a lot of chicken. Most of what I ate was nice and tasted fresh, the Chinese chilli chicken was a little bit dry, and the desserts were mid. But all in all it met my expectations. Don't be put off by the plyboard on the windows. It seems they have been the victim of a pathetic racist attack.

Second time here but this time round the food throughout was completely bland! I’m surprised because last time we came here (about a year ago go) the food quality exceeded our expectations hence why it became a ‘must visit’ when in Blackpool. Every cuisine I tried was completely tasteless including dessert/pudding. The grill counter was also bland. I think it’s safe to say I won’t be visiting here anymore.

First time dining here, the food was absolutely lovely.. constantly stocked u, hit and very tasty 😋.. I can't wait to go again.

We pre booked, but had to wait for 4 walk in groups of 4 to be seated first. We were sat in a tiny 2 person booth by the ice cream counter, were everyone walks past, so no privacy. Sadly there was very little salad selection, and no dipping bowls for sauces. However the food in general was good, and a wide variety, wish they had raita sauce as well as the mango. There was not a lot of desserts.

We love it here such a wide variety of foods, something for everyone! This is our favourite place for family and friend gatherings and great for the kids too. Food has always been great

Absolutely brilliant food. Excellent.

It's a cheap all you can eat, food is ok but busy as hell and no air-conditioning if there was it wasnt turned on, very hot inside and humid. Good to go to if you are hungry good variety of foods.

Always love it here, top quality food & always nice & clean, staff very helpful. All you can eat buffet is amazing, so much variety.

Visited on Bank Holiday Monday and was horrified to see the boarded up windows due to vandalism during the recent fascist infestation of Blackpool, my sympathy to the staff. Mr Basrai's was obviously a soft target for the far-right rubbish, being close to the railway station and because they very visibly advertise "international" food. Hope the culprits will be caught and dealt with. Anyway the food was. as usual, excellent. Never encounted any rubbery chicken there but there are plenty of other dishes if someone encounters some. The rule on wasting food is common to all buffet restaurants, it is not meant to be hostile, only to ensure people only take food they are going to eat. I suggest many small plates as opposed to a small number of piled-up ones. Please support this business.

The food was swimming in grease, and I ended up with bad guts. Never again.

Very loud but the food was really delicious😋

First time we went it was good however this time it was much much worse, the food was tough, bland and cold, it was 64 pounds for the three of us on a Saturday, my dad was unhappy with how the restaurant was, as the windows were boarded up and there was signs up telling us to watch the glass, and he complained to the manager, he was calm and not swearing but the woman started swearing and arguing when he told her about the food, overall it ruined a celebration

It is one of the best buffet restaurant in Blackpool where can enjoy all world food with outstanding decisions food. Very clean and good hygiene atmosphere. Very friend staff and helpful. Manager Mr Mani is manage this restaurant with great customer services.

It was a really good place to eat at and really enjoyed it

Liked different foods, quiet big, Overall clean.Nice ice cream.Could clean the cutely abit more.payed around 15 each.Which is good. £3.80 for refill was a little expensive

Great place,great food,highly recommend. Price is good. Massive selection of food,great choice,something for everyone.

We visited on a Tuesday evening, about 6pm. Fairly busy but not rediculous. 3 carnivores, 4 vegetarians, 3 vegans. There was plenty of choice for everyone. All the food was really well labelled, very clear for our vegans to see what they could choose. All the staff were pleasent enough, didn’t really engage in conversation with any of them. The restaraunt was clean,servers removed used plates very frequently. MOST IMPORTANT - the food was delicious. Favourites were the beef with peppercorn gravy, the mushrooms from the chinese section and all the indian curries were absolutely delicious. Beef Jalfrezi was the best we’ve ever had and we eat a lot of curry!!!! We were only in Blackpool 3 nights, i wish we’d eaten here every night instead of just the last.

Me and my partner always come here when we fancy a bit of everything to eat! The food is always fresh if not on your first round then your second round! The chicken korma is definitely one of the nicest kormas I have tasted! The staff are friendly and always making sure the place is clean! The only dawn fall is the beers are shocking! They are flat and don’t taste like they suppose to and also the refillable machine the pop in there seems to always be flat and tasteless. We will surely be back again soon😊

Went to Mr Basrai’s and the food, service and employees were excellent great atmosphere too will come back many times

Overpriced (£22 for a bottle of wine?), rude staff, screaming kids everywhere, boarded up windows, but all you can eat for £22 quid, had a blast ....what more can you ask for?

A lot of choice of delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit

Absolutely haven’t got a clue what had happened to this place I always go every time I’m in Blackpool I went on Monday night the staff was ignorant and rude tried putting a baby down for £5.99 when she was asleep in the pram. It cost £94. Me my partner and daughter disliked most of the dishes The food was shocking the chicken was like rubber or too hard. No duck or noodles. Won’t be coming again.

Mr. Basrai's World Cuisines offers a vibrant culinary journey, blending flavors from across the globe in a lively, inviting atmosphere. The buffet-style dining allows guests to sample a diverse range of dishes, from fragrant Indian curries to fresh Mediterranean salads, with each cuisine thoughtfully prepared and well-seasoned. The live cooking stations add an interactive element, where chefs whip up dishes to your liking, ensuring freshness and personalization. Service is attentive, though the space can get a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to explore international flavors in one sitting.

We came here last week . Food lovely . Shame windows smashed ! This dint take away from the lovely staff and fantastic food 😋. Will deffo be back . Thank you

On arrival the service was very poor, lacking a welcome, communication was very poor and staff were actually quite rude... the staff on the live stations were nicer.. Good selection of foods, good quality. Party of 10 everyone was happy with the food...pity about the staff as rating would have been higher.

Plenty of choices Food wad vert tasty Place was clean

We went to eat as it was a halal buffet however we left feeling very stressed as there were posters about a fee for wasting food. This became a constant thought throughout the whole meal what ruined the experience.

Fabulous food great service,love all the food stations. Fantastic dessert. They make a fab crème brulé. Even went on Xmas day last year . So sorry about racist thugs .

Very expensive for what it is. Floors treacherously slippery, soup cold, no napkins, tap coke nearly £3 a glass. A lot of my favourites empty (although they did replenish later). Barman was lovely as were most staff. Some food quite nice. Overall not sure I'd go back. They need more attention to things like keeping the food hot and fresh. EDIT. Returned early Aug '25 and sadly still pretty badly run...no duck, no chocolate fountain, toilet awful and prices gone up. I'm sad that they suffered in the riots, that was wrong!

All the food was cold ,service wasn't the best either and the price for wot the food is was daylight robbery

The food was good, and the staff were fast at replacing food, so there wasn't a time that there wasn't any food.

Great world buffet, the Chinese and Indian food are to die for! Noodles and meat can be cooked to order at dinner time. Desserts are delicious which is sometimes a let down at a buffet. Loads of choice for everyone in the party! Toilet sinks weren't working properly so couldn't wash hands so loss of a star for me but the rest of the restaurant was great.

Truly fantastic, with lot's of dishes to choose from, good service and unlimited drinks option.

Fake video going about showing an obvious photo shopped rat , any idiot can see it's fake , done by jc photography

Been here definitely over 100 times now absolutely amazing place so sad to see it shut down

Not a bad place if you like the free for all dining option, was served fast and politely at the till. The food is average to good, depending on what you choose. I had a chicken curry which was average and some of the chocolate fountain marshmallows. Simple but effective, good for large groups and families, not really a good option if you're looking for a quiet meal but it's probably obvious to see. Thought the price was a tad steep but not too bad, got refillable soft drinks which helps.

It has less choices and the sushi taste like rubber. The pizza is also not good the taste is very bad. Some food is very salty and also the tomato pasta is very basic but is still very bad. Some people says the food is good but when we came is absolutely the opposite very bad!!!

Who work his name is manni he is good man .we visit on 31 July 24 . Restaurants is brilliant. I am telling all people u have to visit in Mr. Basrais .you will enjoy.. thanks you are in blackpool

Fantastic food, great selection

Had another fantastic evening meal at Mr Basrais Restaurant in Blackpool, great food, great service in a fantastic Restaurant we'll be back next time we're in Blackpool 👍

Just been here won't be going back. Went to the toilet half way through to find a queue. But also no water in either the mens or ladies for people to wash their hands afterwards. Awful considering it's a help yourself buffet. Complained to be told the water pressure will have gone down. What does everyone do wait there till it comes back up?

As a lover of all you can eat venues this was our first time visiting this place in Blackpool. We absolutely loved the food and reception from all members of staff. Food was amazing and staff friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back.

Food choice is limited however available dishes are fabulous and tastes good.

1st time visiting and was amazing. The food selection was crazy and everything was delicious. We had steak and chicken cooked on the grill and fresh prawns cooked. Then the selection of Indian,Chinese Italian and British was perfect. I'll have to go back again to trying everything I couldn't try this time. There are plenty of dessert options too. So all in all for the price its definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved this place. Puddings a bit to be desired chocolate fountain and mallows were the best.

We were in Blackpool on holiday and decided to try this on Saturday 20th July. Never been before. On arriving it wasn't pleasant, you could see we were being pushed into making a decision when we had just walked in the door and before we got a table. They quickly ask how many people... I replied four, their reply is to colleague to the till, 4 buffet. Then they say drinks, this is before we even sat down, I told them 3 drinks, they then asked if i wanted water for the fourth person, then they charged me for water. Then I looked at the receipt and they had charged me for four adults. I said my daughter is not an adult and they rudely said can you produce ID for your child. I was shocked, what parent carries ID for their child ? I told them three times she was a child, she was only 10, but they rudely questioned this a number of times. As I begun to become frustrated and a crowd of people were forming and people were staring I decided to take my family out of the restaurant. It was a very awkward and embarrassing position to be put in. And from the first second I walked in it was clearly a pressurized environment with questions for the sale put straight on you, before you have even sat down or looked at the options, or gauge a price. It really is a forced hard sell as well as ignorance from about five members of staff stood intimidatingly, putting you on the spot. Never again.

We were there today, and the food fantasticataff great . definitely recommend this buffet. we'll be back soon thanks

Overall great prices, family of 4 less than £90 children under 5 is only £5 plenty of choices. I even took my friends 2 yo she enjoyed the food too, which was a surprise to me with her age. 😁 I would definitely come again, on our next visit to Blackpool.

I had a very great experience and the food was very amazing. The staff is very friendly. Totally recommended to all. The full restaurant is very clean and tidy. Staff always welcome warmly with happy faces.

I visited last night...great services staff members such a lovely restaurant food was amazing restaurant highly recommended.

I visited twice last week and I had a great experience. With Good food and taste, great friendly staff, and also good car park service. Must visit restaurants in Blackpool.

Top class restaurant for groups, teams and individuals. Highly recommended 😊

Poor standards, they limit people food that they advertise to be buffet. As for dessert, we had to wait for someone to serve us and there wasn't always someone available. Dont get me started with parking! What a scam! We were charged for overstaying with 2 seconds because their parking machines works so slow and kept on giving us error code , we spent almost 6 minutes there trying to put the cupon in. Ridiculous!! Waste of money, i do not recommend anyone to go there

This is is the second time I’m visiting Basrai, once I went in Edinburgh and today we were in Blackpool. Though there were number of varieties none of them got any taste and the worst part is absolutely RUDE staff they don’t treat customers as they were giving food for free and doing social service. We group of 8 people all have same opinion. I absolutely DONT RECOMMEND Mr. Basrai any where in the world, management need to take care because they run out of business.

My Family always look forward to going to Mr.Basrai's he always makes them feel welcome and respects the fact that some of them have travelled from Manchester.

Excellent food, some friendly staff. Some also seemed like they didn't want to be there.
