massey's fine indian cuisine

onion bagies were overcooked and burnt. more like dried onions!! main course tasted as though it was left over from the lunchbuffetand hence probable reason when asking if they could cook a chicken korma rather than vegetable korma was told they couldn't change anything on the menu. vegetables in the korma consisted of peas and what tasted like frozen carrots with one small piece of cauliflower. not much in the way of chicken dishes with lamb and beef being pushed by the staff. servers were rude and were almost telling you what to order and insinuating that we couldn't know anything about indian food. before finishing the servers were clearing plates away with nan bread still to finish without asking. the only compliment was that the nan bread was good. staff were overly pretentious. have been eating and preparing indian food for over 40 years in various parts of the world and regretfully this restaurant did not meet the standard of food from the many indian street vendors.

best indianbuffetin london. this place is the best but the best isn't great. they need a better selection and bigger buffet.

if you don't mind salt. good service, fresh naans. ate there regularly with a friend at the lunch buffet. one day however, every dish at thebuffetwas so salty that neither of us could finish our plate. never been back.
we eat at curry garden now and are very happy.

it's pretty complicated to review restaurants like these, as the food is not that bad but is certainly not great either. if you are a sucker forbuffetdiners like me, it will certainly disappoint you. well, on the flip side, in a city like london where the indian food scene is pretty limited, you can't expect it to be perfect.

first things first, the spread has the least amount of dishes i've seen in any buffet. there were hardly 15-20 (i might be exaggerating) dishes, half of them curries. when we set foot inside, there were hardly any customers. the decor and ambiance were excellent and cozy. the spread consisted of the following:
pasta salad: pretty okayish. no complaints
cantaloupe slices: fresh and sweet. ate a lot of them lol.
onion pakoda: tasty and crunchy. ate a lot of that ;)
boiled chickpeas (are you kidding me?)
carrots and lettuce (meh!)
pickles and mint chutney on the sides.
chickpea- mushroom curry: i didn't like at all. 
mixed vegetable curry: was okay.
butter chicken: the saving grace. it was yum.
tandoori chicken: best of the lot. was grilled fresh and was delicious.
fried rice: don't even get me started.
they served fresh-from-the-oven tandoori naans which went well with the butter chicken.
dal: tasty.
gulab jamun: tasty
phirni: tasted good.
ice-creams were okay.

the bill was 54 cad for three incl. taxes. it wasn't a meal to remember, but not a disastrous one either.

massey’s serves one if the best indian cuisines in london. every dish is extremely delicious. thebuffetis great too! highly recommend this place

one of the good indian restaurant in london but a bit overpriced.
one should go for dinner and not lunch.
lunchbuffetis not really authentic and mostly is overcooked and dried meats.
server need to know what is hospitality they are not doing any favour with their service.
taste is good only for dinner ala carte

just returned from thebuffetmeal here and both my wife and i were impressed. when we first arrived just before noon the place was relatively empty and our waitress seemed to feel the need to apologize and assured us it gets busier.
thebuffetwas not mandarin like in offerings but with enough significant indian flavoured offerings to make it sufficient. all meals were good and the tandoori chicken and butter chicken were among the best we have had. mushroom matar and beef curry were also pretty good. nothing spectacular if you have room for dessert but fresh ice cream was appreciated.
this was a bright clean place, with very pleasant staff and the price is right- $15.00 before taxes and tip. good place to sample many dishes without burning a hole in your wallet.

this is the best indian lunchbuffeti've been to in my life, and i love indian cuisine. first of all i have to say that i was pleasantly surprised by how nice the interior is. the decor is tasteful and everything was very clean and elegant. they don't have a wide selection but everything they had was delicious. when i went they had these amazing vegetarian samosas, lentil dal, basmati rice with peas, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, mixed vegetable curry, some sort of mushroom dish, a beef dish, and a salad bar. their naan is made to order which means it hot and buttery and served right to your table. for desserts they had gulab jamun (delicious! not overly sweet like other recipes i've tried), rice pudding (not so great, tasted mostly like rose water), and vanilla and peach ice cream (the peach ice cream was brilliant, i had 5 bowls of it). i also tried their mango lassi which was creamy and not too sweet, exactly how i like it! the service was also very good but then again we went in when they weren't very busy so i'm not sure how that will hold up during a dinner rush. regardless, i will definitely be back for lunch in the near future!

went with the wife and another couple for the lunchbuffettoday.  $15/person + tax,tip

it was a good experience, nice staff and a nice place.  if you have not experienced the flavours that indian cuisine has to offer thisbuffetis a good chance to try everything

the food was ok, having butter chicken and a curry beef some pieces of meat were tough and other's has some fat on it.  some delicious naan was delivered to the table with the buffet.

poor services and rude waiters. average food...only reason people go there is since other restaurants around are also bad. chicken tandoori was average. rice was not not fully cooked. potato, carrot side dish was bad. pickle and readymade samosas were ok. we dont need to go to a restaurant for this.
attitude of waitress needs special mention...they will switch off lights and ask you to go out if they want to close the restaurant..on entering inside the restaurant the waitress confirmedbuffetto be available until 2:30pm. by 2:15 to 2:20 they closed thebuffetand whlie we were having desserts, she forced us to pay the bill. in a few minutes we realised that the reason was for her to ask us to leave. theirbuffetclose time is the restaurant close time which you will only know when they start switching off the lights and stand behind us when it is 2:30

the best in indian food. i have been a loyal customer for years and i will not eat anywhere else if i want indian food. the taste is great and authentic by a chef that makes and mixes his own spice blends. the lunchbuffetis a resonable reate and includes fresh made naan bread not reheated and hard bread found elsewhere and nearby. this is for sure one to try and a great place to dine.
