Reviews For W2 World Buffet Restaurant

Odunayo Adebusuyi

Had a great time here, from continental down to Asian dishes. The appetiser and dessert were awesome as well. The scenery is one to commend as well. As compared to other buffet restaurants I’ve gone too, the quality you get for the price is great.

Amazing and helpful staff, great accessibility, a lift and escalators and they allowed me wait in an indoor seating area due to disabilities as my partner queued outside. Great choice of tasty food and great venue.

We went just as it reopened on the evening. Food was all fresh, main meals very tasty. Some of the cakes are tasteless but edible :) I definitely recommend trying the fried ice cream rolls . My little ones loved the chocolate fountain.

Highly recommended. I loved this place, only for 9.95 (for weekday lunch) I can have as much food that wanted, the food was lovely and lots of choices also a lot of dessert, sweets and cakes choices also available. but we have to pay additional for drinks. Will definitely return with my friends.

Giving 5 stars for recognision but wouldnt even give it a one! Would never recommend this place to anyone. Got there was security on the door that was blocking the entrance and giving us dirty looks. Got to the checkout and the girl booking us In was rude and clearly had an attitude. We wanted refill drinks and were only allowed to order them if we bought all the toddlers with us refill drinks too which was not necessary. It cos over 130 for our family to then be served raw chicken and dry, stringy and discoloured foods. We called over a member off staff to show them the food. He took it away, waited for another member of staff to come look at it also and they both took the plate out back. When one of them returned to the table they said they had just temperature checked the chicken and it was hot enough to be served and there is a sign stating that the chicken maybe discoloured due to being cooked in soya? Looked for the sign stating this and never found one. Asked to speak to a manager and was told no managers were available. We all went home feeling poorly after consuming food here and will never return.

Came here with my brother for the evening buffet and I was really surprised of just how much choice there were, you would have to be a competitive eater to be able to try all the food as there really is so much. I couldn't complain about any of it. Really nice you should give this place a try. I will be returning.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at W2 World Buffet, and I must say, it was an impressive experience from start to finish. The variety of food available was outstanding – from freshly prepared sushi and Chinese stir-fry to Indian curries, Italian pastas, and a sizzling grill section, there was truly something for every taste. What really stood out was the quality of the food. Unlike many buffets where quantity can overshadow taste, every dish at W2 was flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was clean and inviting. The dessert selection was equally impressive, with a wide range of cakes, pastries, fruit, and even a chocolate fountain – perfect for a sweet finish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was welcoming and modern. If you’re looking for a place with excellent food variety and top-notch quality, W2 World Buffet is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!
