Mr Basrai's in South Ayrshire

Ate here twice whilst on holiday in Ayr. The choice of food was amazing and everything was absolutely delicious. Just wish I'd had room for more!

The chocolate fountain seemed to have more oil than actual chocolate, possibly as a cost-saving measure. Additionally, the owners gave the impression they were closely monitoring how much people were eating. I felt uncomfortable, especially since it was a buffet and I was simply sampling a bit of everything without wasting food.

Food was cold so won't b ordering anything again .

Harish the manager went over and above with great service with a smile. Food excellent standard would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. Please visit if visiting ayr.

Very good good service a great selection of foods and drinks there is something for everyone

Food was really good & very relaxing

The service was excellent, with friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere. The food was delicious, offering plenty of great options to choose from. They even brought out a lovely birthday cake with "Happy Birthday" written on it—overall, a wonderful experience.

fantastic service. without having to ask brought a birthday cake to my son for his birthday. would come back again.

Brilliant service and kind staff. Food all fresh and up to high standard.

Mera Dost. Came from Belfast last week, had a table booked for Thursday just past the 24th. Gentleman as always. Was my son’s birthday and he done him up a wee plate with a wee cake on it and a candle. This isn’t my first visit here and certainly won’t be last. Already booked in again for July when I’m back over. Highly recommend. The variety of foods available is unbelievable. Steaks and chops cooked infront of you at the live grill. Couldn’t beat it. Until the next time Mera Dost.

We haven't been here since the new owners took over. The food was good and there was something for everyone. I have multiple people in my family with additional needs so sometimes finding food for everyone can be a bit challenging. Also a child with allergies. There is an allergen book you can look through which tells you what is in each dish. The only thing I think they were missing was prawn cocktail from the starters which would have been nice and a vegan cake alternative in the sweet section although my daughter was able to have jelly, fruit and some sweets. The food was tasty and I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the pasta was in the started section. The Macaroni could have been better but apart from that everything else I tried was lovely and there were no complaints from anyone else.

can you update on my refund request?

Went over the weekend with my family but wasn't very impressed. Place was clean and looked nice, good spacious booths and tables. Good selection of foods but taste let it down. Some things were very bland like the macaroni, pakora, soup, ribs and more. Other things just lacked quality. Not a good selection of vegetarian options either. Only thing we liked was the pizza and desserts and that's something we don't usually go for. Juice for refill were flat and had a weird taste. Wouldn't go back for the food at all.

50th lunch yesterday . Large selection food , reasonably priced. Something for everyone .

Food was tepid chip were cold won't be back

food was meant to arrive at 1:15 but arrived closer to half past one. all good was cold as driver stopped at mcdonalds to collect another order on route. my food was not kept in a heat back so nothing warm at all.

Staff went over and above for you.

Really great food especially the butter chicken it’s a must if you visit:) staff are very happy to help and always checking in on you which is nice to people who haven’t visited before and unsure of how it works also very clean establishment will be back

Great food, great friendly service

Wide range of good, fresh food. Friendly staff. A range of discounts are also available.

Great place. Food is really good. Daughter is gluten free and the staff where great help when it came to deciding what she could have. Will definitely be back.

My husband & I were here today for a late lunch & we both had the loveliest, freshest cooked food with a huge variety. We both started off with some pakora & lots of different salads. I chose noodles & picked my own veg to be cooked in front of me while my husband chose the fajitas. He also had some Indian, Chinese & Italian foods. All of which were tasty & fresh. We finished off with creme brulee & my whippy ice cream! Staff were friendly & attentive & the place itself was immaculately clean. We will definitely be back. Can't leave without mentioning the great value for money, £13.99 each then £3.90 each for refill as you like juices! Amazing 😊

Lovely food, excellent service from the staff! Will be back

Great options - plenty of fresh / made to order options too. Great with the kids . Thanks

Excellent variety of food. All fresh and hot. Kids have absolutely loved it especially the chocolate fountain.

Greek Salad - 5/10. No juicy tomatoes, no olives, mainly pepper, cheese and cucumber. Still fairly tasty but missing some key ingredients. Basrai's Special Buffet Box - 7/10. Overall, a weird selection of foods, everything was fairly nice besides the fish, but then again I don't like fish. I'd happily pay extra to exclude this. Strawberry Milkshake - 8/10. Nothing too special, mainly ice cream and cream, but it was nice. Overall, not bad, much better value in person though.

What a great selection of food. Wide range to please all.

We attended a 40th birthday last night and were part of a large group. We had our own venue in the restaurant. The staff are amazing. So helpful, attentive and friendly. The food was brilliant. There was an amazing variety on offer, and I recommend the fresh cooked lamb chops and curries.... WOW! At the end of the evening we were amazed at the value for money. Thank you for a great relaxed atmosphere, and compliments to all the staff.

Staff are great very attentive. Food is very good. Will be back again

Just love this food food is amazing staff are just so polite happy and friendly been here many times and will continue to do so.

Great place to eat, very friendly staff

Came here for a family lunch, amazing food & plenty of choice. Left with very full belly’s. Would highly recommend.

It's fantastic food, I was wondered with offering fresh selected food live cooking.. Squids, octopus🐙, sea foods. A lots varieties in budget price. They offered Indian local tastes as long live cookings

The best mango lassi I've ever had. We were sent away with a container of gulab jamun which was amazing! My favourite was all the Indian food, especially the lentil dal. 10/10 and will be back

Lovely place to come for a lunch. Live noodles were delicious. Staff friendly, welcoming and very attentive to all questions. Definitely be coming back.

Food was very good, customised to taste , warm and fresh. Staff is also very friendly and polite. Highly recommended.

Maybe because of the town being a seaside town less people are around in Feb/Mar. Was very quiet, food was very towards Indian style. So a lot of curries and even certain items had more of an Indian twist. But all still very tasty for a reasonable price. Hats off to the grilling chef. The medium-rare steak was amazing and perfectly cooked!

Food selection was great! Friendly services and really appreciated the homey environment.

Had the best Bday experience today . Honestly the food was fantastic the services and hospitality were PAR excellence. The staff was extremely patient and generous , the chefs were awesome .My entire Family and i ate the best meal today. Highly recommended

We visited Mr Basrai’s for lunch and had amazing customer service experience. With so any options to choose from it catered the need for all of us. Food taste really good and the overall atmosphere was fantastic

Great value for money great customer care seem like hard working people

Very fresh food.. quite a selection too.. much better then Birmingham one. Great staff that are happy to help

Loved it but a bit cold . Cld have been near closing time

Lovely buffet lunch. Staff really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Amazing service from the moment you walk through the door. Food was amazing. So much to pick from but quality fantastic. Will definitely return. Prices are brilliant for what you get!!

it was lovely, customer service was brilliant , food was amazing

Food was good from starters to. Main to desert and the staff very attentive nothing was a bother to them would recommend 😋😋😋

One of the best world buffet restaurants we have been. The staff are amazing, so helpful and the food was so fresh and tasty. They had wide variety of most of the cuisine. We enjoyed all the starters and to pick the Lamb rogan josh and butter naan was excellent.

This is a buffet service restaurant, meaning sometimes the food containers are empty waiting to be refilled. Most things are nice but my main complaint is everything seems to be kind of tepid and just not hot enough. Buffet restaurants used to be good value but I guess everything catches up.

Amazing food and a great variety. Will go again. Family absolutely loved it. Great place to go as its relaxing and friendly.

First time visit, and will be back! Lovely food and a great selection 👌 Chilled environment and staff are amazing!

Choice of food at lunch is not the greatest, but plenty enough to find something you like. Having some on-demand kitchen at lunch was nice. Curries were the best part.

Staff are always welcoming. Good choices of food and drinks.

If you love the thrill of a culinary adventure but also want the comfort of knowing you can grab another plate (or five), Mr. Basrai’s World Cuisines is your buffet paradise. The experience is set up like a global food expedition—starting with a drink to quench your thirst, followed by a journey through the buffet filled with an array of international flavors. Whether you’re craving spicy, savory, or sweet, there’s something to satisfy every taste bud. The live cooking stations add a touch of excitement, letting you customize your dishes just the way you like them. And let’s not forget dessert! The menu playfully suggests saving “Room for a Sweet Tooth (smile),” and trust me, you’ll need it. From homemade treats to everyone’s favorite ice creams, it’s the perfect way to round off a feast. Overall, Mr. Basrai’s offers a fun, interactive dining experience with plenty of variety. Just be warned: your willpower might not survive the buffet temptation! When in Ayr I highly recommend this amazing buffet restaurant.

Been couple of times. Manager has always welcomed us in and staff come by regularly to check for drinks and that everything is up to scratch. Will be going back.

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime. All good was very good and the staff super nice. Would definitely visit again.

Absolutely fantastic! Great food, good selection, amazing quality. Staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!

Very enjoyable meal. Great selection. As a group of 14 there was something for everyone.

Should have known better first step into restaurant, but we decided to stay food was disgusting, waste of money. Food was on display for far to long, chicken was like a pea green soup. Highly disappointing, not like the Mr Basrais in Glasgow, our clothes were absolutely stinking of food fumes. Never again

It was a great experience, the staff were really welcoming, the atmosphere great and the service was awesome.

Friendly attentive staff, amazing choice of food, something for everyone.. nothing was too much trouble.. We can definitely reccomend this restaurant for families and will be returning..

Been to several of these "all you can eat" buffets and I can honestly say this was one of the best. Some reviews say the food isn't quite good enough and or cold, we didn't find that. We did go at the start of the sitting so it was all fresh. A few things aren't available at lunch, but to be expected as it's a lot cheaper and great value for money.

My first time here was last night. All of the food was delicious and the servers were all very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and can’t wait to come back!

Looked nothing like what I ordered on the app. Salt and pepper chips weren’t seasoned at all. Half the food was mush. If I wanted dog food I would have went to pets at home. I would love a refund

Great food, really good staff, very clean,, definitely be going back

Very nice experience, amazing food and great customer service would highly recommend.

Celebrated my 50th birthday lunch with my family and surprised by cake. Lovely touch x

Absolutely fantastic as always, both the tasty food and friendly, can't do enough for you service. We will be back very soon.

Excellent value for money, fantastic service, the staff couldn't be more helpful. Food is quite good especially the freshly cooked stuff and it's cooked the way you want it. Wide variety of dishes for all tastes so everybody is happy. Overall a great experience.

Great place brilliant fresh food highly recommend. Staff are friendly as well.

Staff are all very courteous and attentive. I enjoy the buffet lunch so much that I come 2 times in 2 weeks! I'm heavily pregnant. The staff let me choose between a booth or a table that I find most comfortable. There are stir fry, taco & pasta stations that freshly made per your order. It takes normally 5-10mins to prepare and they'll bring the food to the table, so you don't have to stand there waiting. Lunch buffet has lesser food items than dinner buffet, but there's more than plenty to fill your stomach with yummy food. I recommend sushis, lamb curry, spicy chicken wings, calamari rings, crab claws, naan breads, garlic pizza, fry noodles with vegs at the wok station, risotto & carbonara. I enjoy the crème brulee, blueberry cheesecake & walnut brownie for dessert.

Great food! Lovely staff team! Great experience. I always enjoy eating here. The food is stunning, and has a wide variety, of which I will never be bored of. The desserts are top notch, and the ice cream is unlike anything I’ve ever had.

A lovely relaxing afternoon. Great food choices and the staff were very pleasant and helpful Anita was lovely. 10/10.

Food was great, very calm, staff were so lovely and willing to help

Fantastic place to eat. Food was amazing and the staff very friendly and helpful. Would really recommend

Ordered the Chinese munchie box showed up without any spicy chicken wings and no ribs and my honey pepper chips are missing as well 38 quid for the worst food ever

Was here on Wednesday night for a birthday dinner, amazing service and amazing food. Everything was freshly made and re filled, also had an amazing steak and pasta made fresh! 100% recommend

Love love love this place in ayr

Very good experience at Mr basrais Finally I found halal buffet in ayr. Very amazing food and services.

We were in as a party of 10 for mine and my sons birthday and everything was top class. From the second we walked in we were treated so well. The staff were amazing. My grandson is 8 months old and got the same treatment. Was a great birthday treat. We will be back!!

Post Xmas family meal with 2 toddlers and 6 Adults. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The place was very clean. The choice of food was excellent. In our group we had 1 vegan, 1 vegetarian, 2 people needing Halal and 2 meat eaters All of us had plenty of choice. I'm told the meat was excellent. I had plenty of options as a vegan. The range of food was excellent, all the serving dishes are small which is good as the replenish constantly which means the food is fresh and hot in the serving dishes. They have a large range of cooked to order options. Which when ordered were brought to our table when ready. At £17.99 per person it's very good value BUT we had not realised that they have a special offer on for January of 2 for 1 Monday to friday. So our table or 6 Adults and 2 toddlers only paid for 3 adults ( under 3s are free) plus all the drinks. Astonishing value.

Had a lovely lunch at the 2 for 1 buffet today. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly and the restaurant is lovely. Thank you and we will be back 😊

food was outstanding perfect service, is my birthday and came out with a cake and put happy birthday on couldn’t ask for a better place to eat

I recently dined at Mr. Basrai's World Cuisine in Ayr, and it was a delightful experience! The variety of dishes offered is truly impressive, with a diverse selection of cuisines from around the world. The food was fresh and flavorful, catering to a range of tastes and preferences. I found the Indian food section to be slightly underwhelming. The selection was decent, but some of the dishes lacked the bold and authentic flavors typically associated with Indian cuisine. For example, the curries were milder than expected, and the naan bread was a bit too chewy for my liking. That said, the food was still fresh, and the presentation was appealing. If the Indian offerings could be a bit more vibrant and true to traditional flavors, it would greatly enhance the experience. It's a good place overall, but there’s room for improvement in this particular area. They are running buy 1 get 1 free for the month of January 2025.

Had a great lunch here with my daughter and her son .

This is a beautiful restaurant, the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is outstanding. The dishes are always well presented and topped up regularly. Food can be made to order right in front of you! From Tacos to Teppanyaki their live food stations are well varied. We have been on multiple occasions and nothing is ever too much! Have a member of the group with a birthday? Let them know, a mini cake with candle and happy birthday calligraphed on the plate, alongside music and singing. The children's faces always light up when they sing with you. I'd recommend you try both lunch and evening menus for the full Basrai's experience. Refillable drinks, cocktails, tea, coffee etc. Great for a treat for the children with the options of chicken nuggets, chips, pasta, ice-cream and a chocolate fountain. What's not to love? We highly recommend Mr.Basrai's 😊

Brilliant food and all the staff are friendly and make you feel very welcome

Food was excellent and great customer service.

Food stone cold when it eventually did arrive

Every thing is amazing staff are nice

Been here many times over the years, it's changed hands a few times but we always enjoy the food. Staff are friendly and polite too. Today's visit was to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday and she was surprised with a cake and candle and a cocktail. We can't thank them enough! Edit to add. We visited again today (23/12/24) and again, amazing food. Our server was lovely and apologized for taking a little while to clear plates but she needn't have worried, we knew she was busy and it was absolutely fine!

I recently enjoyed a fantastic multi-cuisine buffet with crispy dosas, fresh salads, pizzas, and a chocolate brownie. Special thanks to Dhwani for her warm and attentive service, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Great service, food was very tasty and the cocktails were amazing

Very nice staff and good food for good price

Food was great and staff were very attentive and friendly

Very friendly staff! Lush food 🥰

Would give a zero if I could !! Went as a group of 12 on a Saturday at 5pm the food was not edible no one could eat anything the food was stale obviously still from lunch, cold soggy Yorkshire puddings stale chips that had been sitting a while. Half of the dishes were empty so very limited choice. Hardly anny choice for kids either. Our group ended up walking out and went else where to eat as no one could eat anything proper. Would not recommend !!!

Me and my partner love Mr Basrai's and will always come back food is absolutely brilliant serves out standing also does Sunday roast witch is delicious

Delicious food and good variety buffet. Service excellent.

Absolutely disgusting place hardly any food place felt damp and disgusting and the food that was out definitely wasn’t edible! We had to walk out and go somewhere else for food that’s how bad the place was this place definitely isn’t what it used to be the male staff that came over to our table was helpful and even agreed that the food was disguising There was 12 of us in for food and out of the 12 people only 2 were able to eat and that was the kids chicken nuggets We usually go to the buffet at Kilmarnock and food is always filled to the brim and fresh this place we will definitely be avoiding! If you want fantastic fresh Indian food AYR INDIA is the best place to go Avoid this place at all cost
