Went here whilst on a day out. It was the only all you can eat in the area so we thought we'd give it a try especially at the price of Just £13 each. But when you see and taste the food you begin to understand why its just £13 the food was hot but I'm afraid that's where its ends, most of the cooked dishes were soaked in oil our plates were covered in oil that had seaped out whils eating it. Most of the food was not very tasty and it seemed as if the oil was old. The selection was poor and didn't look appetising at all. The Chinese selection was extreamly poor with not much to chose from, and the big disappointment for me was there were no deserts available in the all you can eat. Only a few of the items were marked up so you wasn't totally sure what you was putting on your plate. So poor was the food I actually filled up on poppadoms which were nice. Staff were OK. When we came to leave and pay they tride to charge for four people, there was only 3 of us. I would not go here again purely because of the quality and lack of selection of food.

Visited tonight for the first time and got a very warm and welcoming greeting by the guy on receptionWere we taken to our table and told how the buffet works and choosing to go unlimited for £25 per person was definitely the right thing to do, a selection of beers on tap, bottles, wines, spirits and soft drinks and all unlimitedAll the staff were great and the food was fantastic, the chicken korma was one of the best I’ve ever had, the mixed meat jalfrezi had a nice hear to it and everything was fresh and hot (temperature wise)The only improvement I would recommend is lables on all the chutneys and other items as if you are unfamiliar with Indian food you wouldn’t have a clue what any of the chutneys wereApart from that it was a 5 ⭐️ visit and I’m looking forward to visiting again

Unfortunately was a very disappointing visit. Attended tonight for buffet, Food was cold. When we spoke to the owner or manager regarding the food temperatures he advised that they will be cold at points in the evening as the hot plates will only heat them so much other wise they will over cook. He advised If we’d ordered from the menu food will be hot but there isn’t anything he can do regarding the hot plates.No labels on anything my daughter has a dairy allergy the allergy list was hard to follow as the food didn’t have labels. There was barley no staff around to talk to and the manager was too busy watching football and eating crisps at the “waiting” areaHe also advised they had no labels as the printer shop was shutVery poor attitude from the owner/manager.No atmosphere it was almost awkward to be in there, no music very quietNot a great selection for a “buffet”No deserts eitherWouldn’t recommendDietary restrictions: Unfortunately was a very disappointing visit.

Four of us went to the Amantola for the first time tonight. Wow, what a wonderful experience it was. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. We went for the buffet menu and the choice was great. Atmosphere was nice and the staff were excellent. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will be back very soon.5 ⭐️ ??

Amantola was really a superb restaurant a good 10 years ago. I myself have recommended Amantola to my friends and colleagues and would I do the same now, probably No.It somehow went downhill over the years.The service was less than mediocre, e.g., when I visited the restaurant, there were hardly 7 people, but they still managed to get something I have not ordered.Amantola, you have the potential, but you have lost the heart. It's never too late though!Good luck!!
