The Fat Buddha in Highland

Por lo general, visite Buda Gordo cuando está en Inverness. Solo puede hablar por las papas fritas, el arroz y la salsa de curry que viene en un recipiente, pero siempre es sabroso, picante y obtiene una gran porción por el precio. Los rollitos de primavera también son buenos. En general, siempre contento con la comida que obtenemos de aquí.

Hemos pedido un par de veces para una comida para llevar chippy, por lo general no está mal, pero esta noche tenemos patatas fritas chinas con nuestra cena de pescado, muy decepcionado cuando quieres un té chippy que quieres no chino! ¡Esperemos que haya sido una oportunidad!

Nos encontramos con el Buda Gordo, por casualidad, cuando no pudimos conseguir una mesa en Urquharts al otro lado de la carretera. A primera vista no estábamos seguros, pero teníamos tanta hambre que decidimos entrar. Inicialmente pensamos que tendríamos una comida para llevar, pero notamos que había algunas mesas disponibles, así que decidimos sentarnos. Pedí carne de res, cebolla y jengibre, y mi marido pidió pescado y patatas fritas, después de preguntar si eran patatas fritas reales! Para su deleite lo eran. Pedimos dos refrescos también. Después de unos 5 minutos mi comida llegó, parecía ser una porción generosa, también se veía delicioso. Llegaron mis maridos pescado y patatas fritas, una porción muy generosa de patatas fritas, cubierta con un pescado bellamente rebozado y una rodaja de limón. No puedo elogiar la comida que tuvimos lo suficiente, fue el mejor chino que he probado, mi esposo dijo que el suyo era el mejor pescado con papas fritas que había probado en su vida! Huelga decir que nunca se debe juzgar un libro por su portada. Las instalaciones estaban muy limpias, aunque un poco básico. Nos dimos cuenta de que los repartidores de “Just Eat” entraban y salían con frecuencia y tenían un flujo constante de clientes mientras estábamos allí. Recomendaría ir aquí para llevar o incluso sentarse. Una joyita de un lugar.

¡La temida espera de que entreguen comida! 2 horas después de ordenar! La comida era cálida y bastante decente, pero difícil de juzgar como extremadamente hambriento para cuando llegó. Probablemente evitaría pedir un sábado en el futuro.

Esta revisión pertenece únicamente al repartidor. A pesar de proporcionar la dirección, el nombre del hotel, el número de habitación del hotel y el número de piso, recibí una llamada indicando que el conductor estaba afuera y no podía encontrar mi habitación. No está claro si se produjo alguna interacción con la recepción. Mi habitación estaba situada lejos de la entrada principal. Tardé un minuto en volver a ponerme los zapatos y luego caminé hacia el frente, me encontré con el conductor gritando blasfemias y usando un lenguaje inapropiado, criticando mis indicaciones. Sinceramente, no sé cuánto más claro podría ser. Inicialmente, tenía la intención de darle una propina adicional a la que ya tenía, pero su comportamiento agresivo —empujándome la comida y alejándome mientras decía palabrotas— cambió de opinión. Afirmó que había estado esperando durante diez minutos y no podía localizar mi habitación. Luego se fue, cerró la puerta de su auto y continuó gritando blasfemias desde la ventana de su auto mientras conducía a exceso de velocidad. Un transeúnte presenció el incidente y le preguntó de qué restaurante era el conductor, expresando que nunca les pedirían. Toda esta experiencia fue muy perturbadora, especialmente porque acababa de llegar a Inverness una hora antes. En cuanto a la comida, era decente. Habría calificado la comida en sí sobre un 3 estrellas, pero dadas las circunstancias nunca volveré a pedir allí de nuevo.

With the rest of the family away or out for the evening, I thought I'd treat myself to a rare takeway. Couldn't decide where to go, but as the Fat Buddha was nearby, i thought I'd pop in there. Decent looking menu, and I decided on the House Special Fried Rice - can't go wrong with that I thought. Shop was empty, but waited a reasonable time before getting my order. Got it home, warmed up my plate and opened the tub looking forward to it. Oh dear, disappointed to say the least- wet and soggy, bland and tasteless- £9.50 I will never see again. Will not be going back there if I can help it! Only positive, it was a good sized portion- otherwise it would have been a one star.

Absolutely amazing, get this everytime I want takeaway. SO GOOD! I got chicken chow mein and it was very tasty and very good and I loved it vert much

Fantastic choice of food both Fish & Chip and Chinese/Thai. Food excellent quality. Prompt, polite service throughout our sit in meal. The take away service was non stop from the counter but did not disturb us at all. Would highly recommend!

Walking past on a wet evening and noticed they had tables to sit in. Stretching it a bit to define this as a restaurant… more a takeaway with a few tables… but extensive menu, friendly service and reasonable prices. You get to eat your food off proper plates using proper cutlery and the opportunity to buy a soft drink or beer. I had a Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup followed by Special Curry and rice. All tasty, warm and decent portion size. All good, hot and tasty. Returned a couple days later for King Prawn, Ginger and Spring Onion with rice. Again, perfectly satisfactory. This ain’t Michelin Star cookery or environment… but if you’re looking for a reasonably-priced, unfussy meal that will set you up for the evening this could be the place

Food in general is nice (but wouldn't recommend fried noodles), big portion, reasonable price, clean place, nice staff. Will definitely return.

Long queues and lively passerbys awaiting takeaways. We were pleased with the wide range of traditional fish and chipper,chinese and thai fod. Basically ,you can mix and match and choose something to please everyone. Children wanted traditional fish and chips,we tried the special curry and prawn pad thai.

Have ordered from the fat Buddha 3 times fish and chips before and was always excellent , but tonight ordered a Chinese with chips totally tasteless and a waste of money . If I could have driven back I would taken the food back and demanded my money back

I have never put a review online in my whole life but I've actually went on and registered with TripAdvisor so I could tell everyone how awful this place is. I eat out a lot and order takeaways a lot because of the work I do and have to stay in hotels a lot and this is without a doubt the worst place I have tried in a long time. There is tables in the place but you can't actually eat at them coz the food is served like a takeaway. No plates or cutlery. It's a Chinese. You can't eat that with your hands!!!! Guy was just generally rude that served me. And the food was awful. Fried rice was so bland. The main was okay I suppose but no real flavour at all. I am being generous by saying it was just about edible. The chips are like chippy chips. Naw. Just naw. That's just wrong on all levels and does not go with Chinese food. They were also dry and tasteless. Ate about 3 of them then they went in the bin.

Order placed at 17.34. Estimated delivery, at time of order, was 18.25. Called at 19.05 to be told it’s still in kitchen, they are busy and it would be another half an hour. Delivered eventually at 20.02.

We have ordered many times from here and the food and service is excellent. Their chicken and sweetcorn soup is the best I've had!

After a late arrival due to a long train delay this place was the only food option still open and it was at the corner of the street my Airbnb place was. The food was plentiful, tasty and hot. My sweet and sour dish was exactly what I expected. Seeing Simeon’s fish and chips though I wish I ordered that!

We returned here for a second time in the space of a few months, as it was very handy from our hotel. We decided to try something different this time round, portions sizes were very good, service was very quick even when it was extremely busy and it was very reasonably priced too. The food was nice but the chips had a slightly strange taste to them, maybe the oil used? We would return if we were in the area!

We were staying nearby and being a bit put off by high prices in many Inverness sit-down restaurants, I found the Fat Buddha. I was a bit sceptical at first as this restaurant doubles as a Chinese restaurant and a fish and chips place. The two don't really seem to go together. However on entering at about 6pm on a Saturday I noticed they are doing a good business in both fish and chips and Chinese food. I had to wait about 20 minutes for an order of fish and chips which we ate back in our room at the hotel. The price was a reasonable £7.50 for one portion, with enough chips for two. I agree with two previous reviewers. The batter was a nice light flaky texture, and they also do seem to put quite a bit of salt on it, although I found it not excessive. My wife who is from Sussex said it was one of the better fish and chips she's had, so that's certainly saying something. Btw. if you like curry sauce, they charge £2.80 for it here, which seems a bit excessive. (I'm used to it being more like £1 in east midlands.) Note that currently they are not doing seating in the restaurant. Not sure if this is coming back or not. We didnt try the Chinese food options - these were also in the range of about £7.30, If you're in the area and looking for fish and chips this is certainly a worthwhile option.

Popped in for fish and chips whilst staying at premier inn. A local told me it was good when I asked directions to a chip shop. They were not wrong! Freshly cooked fish in lovely light batter and tasty chips. Very nice lady serving too. I’d definitely come back if in area again.

We visited the chippy to get fish and chips. The shop was clean but had to wait for about 30 minutes to order and get the food for a takeaway. The fish and chips was absolutely freshly fried but with tonnes of salt every where on the chips and fish which was awful. I will never tell the lady to sprinkle salt on it as had no idea she will bathe my food in salt.

We popped in here for some food while staying just around the corner at the premiere inn. We ordered the 9inch munchy box for £11 which included salt and chilli chips, salt and chilli chicken and salt and chilli ribs with a tub of curry...
