Another fantastic meal at Fat Buddha! The restaurant has a lovely ambience but what sets this restaurant apart is the friendly attentive service. Staff are so warm and helpful. Extensive menu, we are repeat visitors and never had a bad meal (and like to try different options). Cocktails are perfectly made! All round fantastic dining experience and reasonably priced.
