If you’re looking for a place with multiple cuisines, this is the spot to visit! The live counters are the highlight, and the food was hot, tasty, and full of variety. I couldn’t try everything in one visit, but what I did have was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely planning to visit again

Worth of coming here and food quality is good.

Mr Basrai is, for me, consistently the worst Chinese / World style buffet in Edinburgh. The food is quite limited, often looking like it has been sitting for ages or popular dishes only slowly replenished. It can also feel a little dirty, like the staff arent attentive enough. China Red is much better and has a stronger range of authentic Chinese dishes.

Amazing spread of Indian ,Italian and Chinese cuisine. Prices are reasonable and you may get 1.30 mins time to eat as much as you can eat. Desserts are also amazing. Love their chats , Pani Puri. Please don't expect paneer items here as you also have plenty of vegetarian options.
