Mr Basrai's World Cuisines in Blackpool

Flowers are many but Rose is special Stars are many but Sun is special Restaurants are many but Mr.Basrai's World Cuisines is special and unique ...

Excellent value good food well presented loved it

The members of my pool team have been coming back to Mr Basrai's three times a year while we're in town for a tournament, it's become our favourite tradition! We'll be back every year we can, it's a highlight of our weekend. Food is very good, selection impressive and atmosphere is very good. Please sponsor us!

Decent food good atmosphere prices fair.

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 !

First time here yesterday, reviews are mixed but from my experience it was fantastic, the waiting staff were quick to take away dirty plates and bring you fresh drinks, the cooks were talkative and knew how to cook what you wanted and how you wanted it, the food was varied from around the world, can't wait to go back

The service and majority of the food was beautiful however the chicken korma chicken was pink, not realising until after my daughter had eaten this n then she ended up with a really bad stomach

Excellent service,very varied selection of food Would recommend a visit

I felt I was eating in a pig pen.... the food was either empty or poor quality. Food dropped everywhere, expensive and people pushing everyone in lots of queues

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.

Amazing place. Got to be done if you visit Blackpool xx

Getting in and seated was chaos. We had a reservation, and there were walk-ins seated before us, everyone was in the same que. When we were finally seated, we went to look at the food on offer, my 4 year old nephew was excited to see noodles and eagerly put some on his plate he waited for them to be cooked for him but we were unsure what to do, the member of staff at the station didn't interact or attempt to explain or take them to stir fry for him, another customer came up to the station and was served instantly. There was a good selection of food on offer, but some were empty and needing filling because it was extremely busy

Food is brilliant definitely recommend to go in dinner time as it is a little bit more money but it’s worth it, you can order unlimited amounts of sirloin steak (although the fat cap is very tough) you do get a steak knife, the lamb chops are probably the best parts, choice of seasoned and unseasoned chicken fillets. Huge selection of all foods as they advertise seafood, sweet and sour chicken beef ect. sushi is a bit on the down side as they do use imitation seafood and not huge selection but the desert does make up for it with a chocolate fountain that you can use which a lot of places don’t have these, sauces and ice cream but the service is a bit slow to take the plates away and you do pay when you first arrive if you are arriving with groups 5+ in peak times you may wait 5-20 minutes which is a bit unfortunate but it is a very busy buffet

Very busy when we went. The table was booked beforehand, which is a good idea tho they do take walk-ins. Initially, staff greeted us after queuing outside for ten minutes, we paid for our food and then got shown to our seats.there was no further contact with any staff member. The food was varied with Indian,Chinese, Italian, chips, steak, salad, and mixed sea food and a poor selection of sushi. Fizzy pop came in the price of the meal with unlimited refills. a good selection of Iceland quality deserts and ice cream. Apple crumble was thick and stodgy with no bowls to use for the custard. The desert spoons were none existent and only had dirty tea spoons to use. The main courses were OK, but the sauces tasted like they were out of a jar. Some of the chicken products were fried to within an inch of its life. The spag-bol tasted more like an Indian dish and was not enjoyable. Toilets were small for the size of the place, and only 1 cubicle was in use. All in, tho it's worth a visit but I wouldn't personally go back as I feel I have to eat as much as I can to cover the cost and leave feeling bloated

The indo chines was absolutely a hit ! The only problem is the pork section should be put in one place , like chicken and pork sausage was in one are so mix contamination, people can use same spoon 😪 . We avoided the areas had pork but then it was all mix

We had booked knowing it would be busy as it was a Saturday and when the illuminations were on. We expected it to be busy and it was. We told the waiter we had booked upon entering.. we were told to wait but it was not clear why we were waiting. We were one of the first people in there as it had only just opened. We were then ushered over to a lady who wanted us to pay before eating (fair enough .. I imagine they get people trying it on and not paying) however we were immediately asked what we wanted to drink not knowing what was available and not being told what what we could have. We had to ask. We then got told about the unlimited refill drinks which we thought great and ordered these not realising that they were only fizzy drinks. We had a lot of trouble explaining this to a waiter as we had a member of our family who doesn't like fizzy drinks. We eventually spoke to someone who was able to help and she kindly said we could swap to cordial. The food was okay ... just what I would expect from a very busy buffet. We were all able to find something to eat. In conclusion it was far too busy with the entrance area completly blocked as we were leaving with people queuing to get in. This isn't completly the restaurants fault as like I said it was the illuminations but I do think it could have been handled better. I think the staff could be more helpful. The plus sides were the refillable drinks (for those who like fizzy drinks) and quick food with a variety to choose from. I probably wouldn't return to this particular restaurant however I have been to others from the same chain and had a much better experience.

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

All you can eat buffet with children running around untethered . As you would expect in a busy central seaside town location

The place has been done to high decor but service is not good Food Lot of old food is used to keep customers Coming back Not for me You give it a try. See it for yourself

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.

Really enjoyed the whole experience,had a family get together,something for every one ,all delicious and serive was excellent

I have been 2 this place once a week if not twice a week for the past 6 month with my kids. An on my arrival 2day was asked for I.D 2 prove the ages of my children at 4.5and9 years old of a man named many on the reception this will be are last trip here.

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.

Staff didn't know if they were coming or going

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!

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

*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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Plenty of choices Food wad vert tasty Place was clean

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.

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.

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

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.

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
