Zsa Zsa Bazaar in Bristol, City of

A great range of food and great quality and great to see it being freshly made but the service was very poor. There was great confusion amongst the waiting staff about when we should pay, what drink and food we could have and if we should get cutlery or not. The food was awesome and there’s no where quite like Za Za Bazzar but the service left us feeling ignored. There was no sense of cohesion amongst the staff it was very confusing.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best experience. We had been waiting a long time to go, so we were very excited. When we arrived, there were loads of people, and we were seated not far from the entrance, where it was very cold and windy. Since it was a date, I wore a dress, which made the cold even more uncomfortable. The soft drinks, like Coke, were only available with sweeteners, not regular Coke, but that was okay. The food wasn’t tasty at all, and some sections, like the sushi area, had very limited choices and poor quality. The lasagna had an especially long wait time. We had been to a similar restaurant in Scotland and had a totally different experience.

Visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. Their all-you-can-eat pricing is based on which time of which day you visit, and Tuesday lunchtime was at the cheapest price. We had a time limit of from 12pm until 1.40pm, which is plenty of time. Nice view of the harbourside. The quality of the food was generally very good to excellent, especially the curry and noddle dishes, and the range of dishes on offer was very impressive including lots of vegetarian options for my partner. The waiting staff were very polite and attentive, cleaning used plates and topping up water etc very efficiently. The atmosphere was lively and pleasant, a few loud / excited children but that's to be expected at this type of venue. Overall, excellent value for money, huge range of food with something for everyone, very impressed and will visit again.

I had a fantastic experience at Zara Bazaar! The food was delicious, with a great variety of dishes that were fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place for a memorable meal. Special thanks to Githma, who provided outstanding service throughout. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was exceptional.

Horrible horrible evening here. Child has burn marks from the mash potato and no action was taken by staff. No concessions for food allergies and generally horrible environment.

Didn't even get through the door. The que was insane, asked the security guy what happens if we have a booking, rudely told get to the back of the line like everyone else. Was told our table would only be held for 15 mins, there is no way we would have even made it through the front door by then. What is the point of booking if you just get chucked to back of the que with those that haven't booked. Not that Za Za Bazaars would care, but will not be going back.

Bof. It does the job. Good in the sense that each person can get whatever they want and there is a reasonable choice. Alas, the quality of the food is perhaps a bit average i.e. seems a bit bland/lacking in taste/flavour. The place was heaving when we went and the tables are exceedingly close together. Our table was on the edge of a walkway and a bit annoying people brushing by. (We moved the table a tad) But it is what it is. Sure we'll be back sometime. I felt reasonable value - particularly the amount our teenage lad ate!

Visited as a family group of 17 for my daughter’s 21st birthday this evening. Food was delicious and waiter was lovely. However 1hour 45 mins to sit order drinks and eat dinner and pudding is an absolute joke. We spent £300+ here this evening and 15 mins before the end of allocated time we had a manager (we presumed ) talking about us over her radio and making hand gestures to other staff members to basically get out table moving to leave and then just come and plonked our bill on the table. To say we felt rushed and in the way would be an understatement , and totally ruined our daughter’s birthday celebration. Very disappointed ☹️ Definitely wouldn’t recommend and won’t be returning.

What a dive..... full of pot heads and hen weekends, ordered a gin and they served it in a half pin glass, paid for cokes and asked could I take them upstairs- was told yes.....BUT- guess what!! What a mess outside, fags, rubbish, messy tables. Rude servers, poor service, dive- overall what an awful place. Then the eatery upstairs- omg....if you're fond of a cattle market where everyone forgets they have manners and just eats and eats then you'll be fine! It was jammed with people, the staff were busy and tabels were cleared, rhe cooks were busy replenishing but it was so busy that you had to queue for everything and food therefore wasn't always hot

Lovely food really enjoyed recommend the curry goat and the carrot cake went with friends first time for 2 of us 2 have been before food from all over brilliant

great all you can eat. chef's on hand to cook/reheat you own individual meal if thats what you want. great value for money and staff very helpful and polite from all over the globe. there are 5 food stations. desserts, ice cream and soft drinks. far east, European and Indian. you can pick and mix any or all of these.

It’s one of my partners children’s favourite restaurants and as we like all manor of foods is a perfect place for us to go. I had never been before and enjoy the variation of foods. The staff are helpful, friendly and efficient and I found the lunch time menu price extremely good value. For £46 we had unlimited food for 2 adults and a child plus unlimited soft drinks. Not bad this day and age but I would recommend booking in advance and this can be done via the online booking system.

Very good selection of food..could have a look on dessert section a bit..all the other cuisines like Italian, Asian, Indian are all of good choice..price range also good..service was also good..

Not great. There were lots of empty tables and we asked for one near the window - to be told it “wasn’t available”, instead ushered to a packed seating area. I wanted to freshen my hands and went up to one of the service areas that had sanitiser dispensers ….. which was empty. I tried another. Empty too. How are staff supposed to keep their hands hygienic if there’s no sanitiser? Food is ok. The kids loved it, but not what it was when we first visited several years ago. Less choice, poorer quality. Wouldn’t even say it’s particularly ‘good value’ either. How much “all you can eat” can you actually eat at lunchtime, unless you’re clinically obese? 🤣 For example, several eateries on the water front offer 2 courses for £12 or £13 and saw one serving lunch and a drink for £9. The real sickener though was watching a young diner with a “healthy appetite” approach the chocolate fountain and stick his fingers in it! Nice 🤢

Went for dinner over the Easter weekend. Been wanting to visit for a while but finally got round to it as we were in the area. I never go to buffet restaurants with high expectations and glad I didnt this time. Plenty of food options which were constantly kept topped up. Good service from the waitress keeping our drinks flowing and plates cleared... Whilst food was fairly bland and mediocre, for the price.. you cant really complain.

I don't know what all the bad reviews are about but mine isn't a bad review and drove over 2 hours to visit this place just to eat. Food was all nice had an array of all stations and nothing was bad. Came on a Friday dinner was busy got and hour and half to stay and had time for everything. Desserts were great and the ice cream was real ice cream unlike most eat all u can places which are usually watery and milky. Would recommend this place

Went for a birthday treat, booked 6 weeks ahead, we were sat right next to the toilets and as there were a lot of us and the restaurant being so busy didn’t feel we had the option to move, the toilet door was propped open by the staff whole time and I had a view right into the toilet stall which made me feel sick there was also a very loud speaker right next to us. I couldn’t enjoy my meal, won’t be going again for this reason and it is a shame as the food is fairly good for the price you pay.

Not good food. You have selection of buffet food but most of the food is mediocre nothing exciting. Staff are not polite and they try to Kik you out ain 1.30 hours time. If you go with family and friends you may not spend quality time.

i went there for my 13th birthday treat with my mum and we went it staff were lovely but we took our coats of and left them on our chairs to go get some food and in my mums pocket she had my 20 pound and other valuables we left and went shops and we realised it had been stolen i was shocked of how people can do that and have no remorse this world is crazy

Love this place. Return visit. Stayed in Bristol for a 3 night short break with friends who'd not been before. Told them they were in for a treat and booked a table for Saturday night. £20.99 per head, at as much as you like (and we did!). Fabulous choice of many foods from across the world. Hot, tasty and plentiful. Cakes to die for, just make sure you leave room for some! Staff very attentive, clearing used plates, etc. very quickly. Our friends loved it and said we would all return later in the year when we stay in wonderful Bristol again.

This has been the third time I've now been to ZaZa Bazaar and every time I've left I have done feeling very uncomfortable and bloated. This is not because Ive crammed as much food into my belly as humanly possible. I was sensible and ate...

This latest visit has changed my opinion of ZaZas. In a nutshell, no seafood, very little protein offered in food, many food offerings empty, lots of carbo only dishes offered. I have been here many times, but won’t be going again, too many people, too...

Amazing ! Lots of choices! Great place for family and kids. Buffer restaurants- all you can eat type. They have great selection of food and cocktails are from different planet!!! We had special Valentines cocktails and they was soooooo delicious!

Great place to visit with teens where they can get up as many times as they want to and overfill their plates and try different things. Was very busy but it is what it is - a canteen type place where you go and help...

Supposed to be the biggest restaurant in the UK, probably is, it’s huge, Likes Tex mex range is good GB classics, cottage pie Indian, tandoori chicken Ok Noodles Indian, incredibly salty Dahl Fun Make your own whippy ice cream at the machine

Terrible service, poor aftercare, meal wasn’t all that too top it all off my friend had a piece of metal in there food that looked like a metal staple! (On our first plates) We called over the waitress and she had to then go higher...

I’ve visited Za Za’s for a few years now with every meal being brilliant without fail. Tonight that all changed. Upon arriving we was seated on our table then went up for food. I got a plate of sweet and sour chicken and spring rolls....

Amazing food, all freshly cooked and a huge choice of different cooking cultures. Such good value. Looks amazing and friendly staff.

Came in here today with the missus and it was probably the worse visit we've had in the 5 times I've been here. We was dumped next to the main door that kept getting opened and blowing everything everywhere.. Food was ok as usual though.....

Extremely busy buffet restaurant, they put tables close together, and cram people in. Very noisy, asked to sit in a quiet place, told us not possible. No need for the music to be so loud. Plenty of food options, so best to be selective, and...

Stumbled upon Za Za Bazaar Restaurant located in Bristol's Harbourside area which is a buffet style restaurant with various of cooking stations. As a foodie, I have always wanted to try a buffet restaurant to see how they compare with the ones in Asia. Obviously...

This was a real surprise. It was big, busy , colourful and brilliant! But the best thing was the food. Sushi, Chinese, Indian, European, Mexican etc. A couple of things were below par but 99% was super, hot, taste and replenished often.

dined recently loads of food options, friendly staff drinks were a bit overpriced but overall recommended .

Iam writing this review for Bar manager Som/ Sam upstairs who made me Elderflower cocktail on Thursday 28 th. He was thorough , knew what he was doing , polite, explained what he was mixing while making it!! He made it with interest which makes...

Like a Car boot sale of food, but if nothing else it’s busy and takes ages for drinks. There is a broad selection of food which ranges from between terrible and very poor.

Great food great experience especially Indian counter was amazing specially the tandoori section was great.

Good food, good fun, as much as you can eat and good value. Lots of variety. There is a GF selection which is well labled. But read the lables as quite a few things that you'd expect to be GF are not.

Terrible place which tolerates verbal homophobic abuse of its patrons by other customers. Abysmal attitude and response by the security staff who responded to the incident with hostility and derision. Watched my bisexual friend of five years cry due to the discriminatory behaviour that they...

This is the best place for you if you can't decide what you want to eat. Great choices of food from around the world. Staff are very friendly.

Yes it’s chaotic at Za Zas. The staff are efficient though and the food is great. I’m veggie and find the Indian food selection to be exceptional - plenty of curries for me to choose from, naans, rice and poppadoms. Desserts are lovely. If you...

Food cold, empty food dishes never seem to be refilled, poor selection of food. Stupid long tables for 27 of us couldn’t walk easily inbetween as sooo close together, £3.75 for bottomless glass, but Pepsi Max was awful, couldn’t drink it, very limited sweet selection...

I champion ZaZa Bazaar because we have dined at the restaurant many times for years, and have never understood the negative reviews. We visited on 3 December. The service was, as always, excellent. The staff, as always, were polite, friendly and very helpful. The restaurant...

So we know sometimes it’s quantity over quality but for a works do this was faultless. Drinks came up quickly food was hot and plentiful and no waiting times. There wasn’t anything that we could fault. We were there on 1/12/23 at 3 pm it...

I had to comment on my great experience I had It was made especially memorable due to the server Rakki He was extremely polite and knowledgeable especially to his wine recommendations First class customer service Five stars *****

Fantastic food Fantastic service Bar manager som was attentive and was so nice,and brought a birthday cake for my child's birthday..which was so lovely,and we made some lovely memories with my mother...we will definitely be back

Crazy busy buffet. Bazaar is a good name. Big and Busy. Service/Table clearance good enough. Genuinely huge range of dishes well presented but missing items were noticeable. No prawns, ribs, duck etc. Still enough for a good meal and reasonable VFM. Get your own drinks...

This place has certainly gone down hill. They seem to have crammed more tables in, the place was heaving! Queues everywhere for food and so many people it was difficult to walk through the crowds with food. The ice cream queue was out the door....

This is my 1st time here ,and I would throughly recommend it to anyone ,excellent customer service ,staff very friendly ,very welcoming ,very concerned about my nut allergy ,did all they could to accommodate me ,1st class service ,1st class food ,absolute fantastic time ,am...

Great food at a great price, only negative is that there’s too much to choose from lol my kids loved it too

Good experience in restaurant - loads of options for vegetarians and food was tasty. Service was quick considering this was at capacity on Saturday evening. The toilets are too far away and there should be closer toilets, especially when having a drink downstairs in the...

Great selection of food . Staff friendly and helpful. Good selection of vegetarian food. Great cocktails

Horrendous from start to finish - firstly we were seated at a dirty table and to top this off rain water was leaking in from roof - so we were moved Secondly drinks took 35 mins to arrive - this was after being verbally abused...

Possibly the best buffet I’ve been to outside Florida. Masses of choice, we started at India and made our way along the ‘islands’. Everything was very well cooked and flavourful.

Too many people. Not good quality food - which is possible in these buffet style places. Promises much more than it delivers sadly.

Really quite poor, food stations not all full and certainly like warm. Plates when finished were slow to be removed. Less good choice compared to a similar themed restaurant in Taunton (that I would recommend). Shame

My family had booked a table for my birthday. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We were shown to our table by a very friendly waitress who also took our drinks order. It it is self service and an eat as much as you like...

LOOOOOVE Za Za Bazaar I really do the choice is endless and of the best quality not just loads of poor food like you get alot of all you can eat places, Za Za Bazaar is great I really dont know how they do it.

Awful!!! do not go here. I had food poisoning from eating here. The food is left out for so long it gets contaminated. I have also known a lot of other people who have had food poisoning from here. The place should be shut down...

Spezialitäten aus allen Weltregionen. Ein Genuss für die Augen und für den Gaumen. Inklusion und Völkerverständigung vom Feinsten. Frisch zubereitete...

Just want to give the staff at Zaza Bizarre a big shout out (especially the bar staff) who were nothing but accommodating and helpful, even during the most busy period of their night ❤️

Although the food was all good, cannot overlook the DISGUSTING follow up service to our dinner. Phoned multiple times to enquire about receiving a refund on my deposit i put down - was constantly told that they'll sort it out or call me back but...

We visited as a family of 5 on a weeknight. We hadn't booked but got a lovely table overlooking the river. Great variety of food and it was all delicious. Staff were attentive and efficient. Lively atmosphere.

Been sometime since my last visit, the food did not disappoint, very tasty and freshly cooked, the Chinese food was a little over salted but nonetheless still hot and appetising. I would behave tried the desserts but too many children and teens running around the...

My husband and I were really looking forward to trying out this restaurant as a birthday treat for him on a recent day trip to Bristol. We walked past in the morning noting the times for lunch and dinner on the notice outside. It was...

Food was ok, but the service was awful. Waited 10mins to get cutlery. Then when we got it came with no spoons. Then had to ask 5 different waiters can we have spoons. We ask on waiter and she told us my shift is finished...

Was dubious before visiting recently. Lots of food choice but does resemble a mix between an all inclusive hotel and a school canteen. Quality of food was as to be expected however had a bad encounter at the Indian section. I asked for chat bombs...

A ne pas manquer c’est exceptionnel d’avoir tant de vraies cuisines différentes pour 20£ dans un temps limité à deux...

The food was very tasty and well done. The service was quick and was useful. Nothing was out of stock and everything was available to eat which gave a great selection of food.

Two of us tried to eat at 4pm today using lunchtime menu/cost. Had already been into dining area - they were not busy by any stretches of the imagination. Was told any bookings at 4pm would incur evening cost of £18.99?? How come when lunchtime...

Been here few times since open ,very massive buffet restaurant,team downstairs at host desk very robotic no warmth . Buffet is massive and lots of choices so many dishes no matter how big is your appetite you can taste all if it ,good value for...

We went there with a group of friends. My first reaction was why on earth have you brought me here. It seemed chaotic with so many people moving about and extremely noisy. However the food was very good especially for me the curries. So if...

Love this place. Always visit when in Bristol. Not been for quite a few years. Just as good as before. So much choice of food. Good value at lunchtimes £13.99. Plates cleared efficiently. Plenty of staff. Looking forward to coming back again.

Not been here for 9 years so not what to expect and it hasn’t lost any of its quality appeal. Fantastic choice, very helpful table staff, drinks are reasonable prices and the huge choice is just mind blowing. Then finish off with a visit to...

Overall enjoyed it went in slim came out a few pounds bigger lol na overall great selection of foods from around the world great customer service professional staff

Always enjoy the food here. Good quality for a buffet restaurant. Price for a student midweek lunchtime was £10.99, which is very reasonable. All food was hot and tasty. Staff were friendly however could have been quicker with service. All in all, it was an...

One of the best buffets that I have been to. Will return when im in the area for sure. Nearby parking

A all you can eat Asia style buffet , go hungry Nice friendly staff , huge choice of Asia / Mexican / Indian cuisine . You have 90 minutes to eat , you will be full long before this ! They allowed us to take...

Amazing Indian and Chinese food but they could have better Italian food. Overall id rate them 8/10 for the quality of the food

Lovely food and a huge choice. Cooking stations are excellent. The waiter asked for a tip though! He wanted a tip for what?!! We collect our own food! 🤣

Having heard great things about Za Za Bazaar we made a bee line for it when in Bristol for a show. We hadn't booked, so went to the walk in reception and asked to be seated for lunch. "No lunch it's finished, you can wait...

This was our second visit to the restaurant (the first being around 5 years ago) and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was considerably better than when we previously attended. We have stopped eating meat since our last visit and were very...

Came here the first time, was not disappointed delish food at excellent prices, the cocktails were amazing g and the range of foods great, defo come back

Great fun nice atmosphere something for everyone . Serving everything from sushi to burgers. Eat as much or as little as you like . Our time slot was 90 minutes which was about right . Some of the things served were not to my taste...

Came in for solo lunch on a snowy day looking forward to Chinese especially. All the food was tasty and well cooked. I enjoyed the desserts .The staff were efficient and pleasant. My only comment is that the decor needs attention. It seems dark and...

Popped in to have some food on a whim whilst out in Bristol for the day with my other half and 2year old son. It was absolutely amazing...all you can eat buffet & kids under 4 eat for free! Plenty of selection & staff were...

The staff is nice and good service, and many food choices, but no "Dim Sum" on Sunday, price is reasonable, curry lamp is delicious, compare to Cxxxo, much better, at least after 1hr45mins, staff did not push us to leave (BUT Cxxxo even not yet...

Good food, lots of variety and a reasonable price. Would recommend for a day out for lunch or dinner. Chinese pork teriyaki and the hand made tikka masala.

All I can say is wow, my partner has spoken for many years how this buffet was the best he’s ever been too and I decided to book a trip to Bristol just to bring him here again! My first time & I can honestly...

Much better this time at zazas food was good and tasty live cooking stations were great and quick staff were great no complaints this time.

Real nice selection of foods all freshly cooked Infront of you, the Indian food was lovely and the whippy ice-cream is a winner!

My son chose ZaZa as a reward and we came for Saturday lunch. The place was busy but well run. Special mention to Harold and Swami who made sure our area was spotless throughout and cleared plates, brought drinks etc, appearing like magic. Very good...

My wife & I booked a rather large table for a family event. We were seated and the atmosphere was completely off. There was a table near us where it was clearly a group of girls that were on a hen do, who were making...

We have visited this place for Sunday lunch for my son's 22nd birthday. We all loved this place. We have many options to eat, and the price was reasonable.We would love to visit again. Staff were very friendly.

So many options, not enough stomach space! There is something for everyone here. I've never been in a buffet with sections from around the world like that. The food was not amazing but decent and it's a bit of a crowded, family venue. But it's...

It’s a low class cattle market. With rude staff and rude customers most of which seem to make no effort to get dressed from bedtime. We actually thought it might be a slumber party. Seriously - whole families in PJs, and I am pretty sure...

This place is ok (party of 6)as food goes I had a burger but having my bill I payed before checking and when I had checked my bill it was £145:84 and realised there error it should have been £98.91p but after a stand off...

The location of the restaurant is nice and scenic, the staff are friendly, however I did find the experience slightly overwhelming. Children running past your table constantly didn’t help at all. I would also like to suggest NOT drinking the lemonade because it tastes like...

Went there with colleagues, everything was good except 🍴, not aware that we have to use the same cutlery all the times. Went for another food round, when returned to the table- staff has already cleared our plate and she has kept our used cutlery...

2nd time I've visited ZaZa...and the food ws even better than the 1st time..it was 7pm on fri night,so it was exceptionally busy,but all food stations were fully stocked and tables were cleared efficiently after you'd finished each meal choice.... Highly recommend this place and...
