22- Red Hot Buffet


Me and my sister are quite the fan of Leeds Grub, and if you don't know, you should.
Leeds Grub is a blog that reviews places to eat in the Leeds area, and since me and my sister were wanting to go out for a meal, we picked something out from her blog.
We chose the Red Hot Buffet.

Red hot buffet is situated in The Light, when we first stepped in we waited for a few seconds and then were shown down the stairs. The interior was quite humorous, being a world buffet they themed parts of the interior airport plane style.

The layout of the buffet was a bit like The spice quarter but on a larger fancier scale.
Everything were in cuisine order and stations.
Pizza, Grill, Stir fry, Noodles, Indian Biryani, Salsa and Tex Mex bar.

[Starters]
I had a bit of everything from spring rolls, prawn crackers, onion bhaji, calamari rings, katsu fried prawn.

[Mains]
A selection of different types of lamb, squid, chicken curries, tacos, a few fries, potato wedges, ric e etc

[Dessert]
Pretty much just had the things on the plate. I felt quite bad leaving most of the desserts hardly touched, but they were frankly 'quite bad'.



As good as the colourful the ice cream looked tasted sickly with artificial cream, the same with the sorbet with a very fake artificial flavour. Most of the dessert were like that, they tastes as if they were made to be preserved, to be long lasting.


Personally as great as all the food looked and exciting how much there was of it, the standards of most dishes were mediocre. Nothing really stood out. Me and my sister have concluded the best out of the good hundred were the Bombay potatoes, Potato wedges and Chocolate walnut brownies.


After 2 rounds of mains, dessert and a final round of mains again they bill came to £35.23 with the 5% service charge due to the festive season.
Red hot buffet is for you if you can't decide on what cuisine to have and just fancy a bit of everything. I personally would probably give it a pass next time, but never say never.
