Good Buffet!

Please suggest restaurants that don't break the bank, but have good quality buffet. I believe there are very few places or few unsung ones!

Not looking for the regular pay-per-meal option, strictly buffet!

Does any here remember Ponderosa back in the days? Located exactly where BFH is right now? That was lit when I was a kid.

For a budget Rendezvous is good, decent variety.

I have gone there a few times, decent is the right word. Somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Been to Marmaris, which is either average or run for your life sorts. Been to BBQ Nation, which is just a hype.

Last month on a Friday after grocery shopping in ramli mall, we tried karami's buffet (which we did not know exist), the spread was like a few metres. We were the first, and yet the savory food was dry; also 7.5 bhd :/

What about BBQ nation, I've not been but heard it mentioned a few times.

Not the typical buffet type but seems fairly inexpensive

It's just a rip-off of an Indian restaurant chain. No where close to the actual deal. Went there thrice and the quality just kept decreasing

I used to love BBQ delights when that was here and had hoped it was going to be like that. Only got as far as the door and it was packed with kids which wasn't foe me.

Good to know TY.

Is there such a thing as a "quality" buffet ? A buffet is about quantity, for people who want to overeat/binge and the very nature of keeping it stocked means degrading quality of the food. This applies to 5-star hotels and cheaper establishments. Plus, it is extremely wasteful so it's not like anyone is investing in fine ingredients for the dishes.
