Dr Gloom 21923 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 what was the verdict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 what was the verdict? 16 different courses, each course no bigger than a packet of pork scratchings. You get plenty of likes on instagram though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbaby610 0 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Pricey too, £60 a head before they push the wine pairing with each course on you iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That new chinese opposite where the co-op was is fantastic. 9 quid something eat as much as you want, absolute quality. Lou2 or something. Lau's king buffet? It's just a more expensive version of the buffet on Stowell street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15526 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Last time we were in Lanzarote, the worst of the restaurants were having to compete like mad for business because of the downturn. There was a row of more or less neighbouring all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets, all of which had cut their prices to €3.99 per person. Let's be honest, you're lucky if you're eating dog at that price.

Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The best Chinese buffet places are the ones that have pizza and chips available. Always a sure sign that the place is about 3 weeks away from being shut due to health code violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I went to a reasonable Chinese buffet up in Galashiels a few years ago. That was the only one I've ever been to that was remotely alright. The original Lau's on Stowell street and the one that used to be upstais in the gate (think it was where Nando's is now) were fucking horrendous.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Went for our Christmas night out at work. Flattered to deceive iyam. Longhorns is loads nicer. We went on Saturday lunch and thought it was very reasonable. 2 of us got starters and mains for £35 so I don't think it flatters itself too much. The (raw) apple and onion deepfried in batter was odd, but I could eat spoons of the sweet mayo that comes with it. I went in starving and left half of my main. A mountain of briskett and the few bits of fat were melting off it lush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) cba looking through here but what's considered the best city centre Indians? Mate is up for the weekend so we're watching the match, having a curry then out on the drink. I remember Raval being lush but someone will probably twist about having to walk over the bridge.

Gemmill 44879 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Raval, Sachins. Rasa is nice but it's southern Indian so I didn't recognise a lot on the menu,so no good if you cbf with eating stuff you're not sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I like Akbars but then I'm really easy to please with curry. Still consider it to be one of the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44879 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ah-loooove Akbars....ah-looooove Akbars. I bet some drunken spastic has chanted that at the likely Hindu staff. If they haven't, AH.... You're the man for this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Lau's king buffet? It's just a more expensive version of the buffet on Stowell street. It's much better than I imagined it would be. They do Japanese food too. How much is the one on Stowell Street? You on about the one opposite Rosey's?? I'd rather have your cooking than that pishy one, rude they are too.

Aye, was thinking that. I'll send them the links to Akbars, Raval and Sachins and see what they fancy. Cheers, all. If it is Akbars, I'll sing that little ditty to them, no bother. I'll even take the arrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sachins is the nicest Indians I've been to in Newcastle, and I'd say I've been to a lot of them. Akbars was alright but it was a free meal so I didn't really consider the value aspect of it. I remember the waiter being overbearing though which put me off, he was permanently hovering around the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
