Review Fat Buddha - Bengaluru

Suneela Isaac
Let me start by saying that we found the place as one of the finest oriental restaurant in the city. Both my husband and I are huge fans of Pan-Asian food and we were delighted by the food served here. The restaurant is located on a inner road from the main road, hence is not easily visible from the main road. Neatly put up garden is at the entrance, the restaurant is set up in a traditional Chinese restaurant indoors style. What led to an amazing experience for us is ofcourse the food which starts from the diverse menu options to the delicious taste. We ordered for steam wontons in ginger soya, Wok braised fish in chili bean sauce and burnt garlic chicken fried rice to go with it. Wontons were luscious and the sauce & bell peppers added to its flavor. The combination of burnt garlic chicken fried rice and fish dish was delectable and had an aesthetic appearance plus an aromatic flavor. Its a place that we would like to visit again.

Very good food, worth the price. Reasonable portions. Chefs preparations are a cut above the standard 'Indian Chinese' fare and flavours are many more. Enjoyed our experience.

Fat Buddha or Feast India company ....is a fine dine in a old house set up. Very calm and cozy place for family. feast India company menu is Lucknow cuisine and Fat Buddha is pan Asia. We ordered soup and starter from Asian menu and main course from Indian. Delicious food and staff Pran was very courteous and served very wel we had a very nice time and food was very tasty and homely. They also serve Indian and imported wine.l

A quiet place tucked away on the busy Cunningham Road, with one of the nicest ambience surrounded by a lot of greenery. The staff were very welcoming and there was vallet parking too. A perfect place for a romantic dinner date. Their mocktail was made to perfection. I tried the Pina colada Oriental style. The Thai red curry with rice was delicious. For the starter I enjoyed the spring rolls and it's crispyness. The sweet corn soup, the mushroom and cauliflower in a variety of sauces were made well. The icing on the cake was definitely the Carmel custard and the shahi tukda 😊

Fat Buddha had been round for a long time and are known for their ambience in addition to the food they serve. Asian cuisine focused around Chinese, they are heavy in one's palette as well their wallet. Food- 4/5. Great food and impressive plating Ambience- 4/5. The ambience is great. Looks beautiful Staff- 4/5. Quite courteous but could improve on their promptness.
Rushi Ranjan
Nice and quiet restaurant with good ambience. The asian cuisines were delicious. The staffs were polite. Must go and have dinner kinda restaurant.

Indeed, we went to Feast India Co. which is collocated and runs under the same management. FIC is housed in a heritage building, about 75 year old, made by some relative of then Maharaja of Mysore. The ambience and decor is worth appreciation. We tried a few items from both FIC and FB. Both were good. Special mention goes to Lamb Galwauti Kabab and Firni, both from FIC menu.

Great ambience, home-like. Great taste. Courteous staff who help you decide what's the best to suit your taste. Great options for vegetarians. One suggestion is that they could include high chairs for kids. Could be a great weekend outing...
Abishek Rajmohan
First of all, the place in a narrow way, little difficult to find There's a new themed restaurant right beside fat Buddha, right opposite to it , which sevres North Indian food, ambiance is eye grabbing as it's very simple and neat. Typical house converted to a restaurant but it's worth the visit. Thanks for the restaurant being a little inside from the road, you'll be able to spend quality time with your loved ones as it's very quiet and peaceful. We order awadhi roast and subz biryani that was stomach filling quantity for 2 people , laasi isn't the typical Punjabi type as I could feel it wasn't ready yet to be served. Apart from that , the washroom is neat and well maintained, The person who took care of us , was well mannered and was always there for us. Though the bill costed around 1k, I feel it was totally worth and value for me.
Vinod Ravindran
The day we went Fat Buddha was operating out of Feast India Company. We ordered only from FB menu, food is good. Staff effecient and polite. The place has an old world charm. Would definitely go back here. They do serve booze.
Manikanta Munna
Good restaurant for Chinese cuisine. Recommended to taste FAT BUDDHA (veg and non veg) , noodles and schezwan fried rice. On average 1000 per 2 people.
Spoilt Child
The taste is really good. We tried Chicken Combo, Veg Combo
Shalabh Kumar
Good Chinese food great taste and ambiance
Asha Kilaru
A repeat favourite. Setting is lovely. Food is good although with a little tweaking like less oil and a some fresh herbs/seasonings could be better.
Sudhakar S
Nice place to visit with family and friends. Very delicious food offering ..
Sabrina Cano
It's a cool place for a quiet lunch. Away from all the noise of the traffic. Very pleasant ambience. The food was also good. We had the crab meat soup which was excellent. The golden fried prawns were crisp and delicious. Overall a nice dining experience. Service was also good.
Yusra Fathima
Beautiful ambience. Food is Also excellent
Deepayan Dutta Gupta
A good place with great ambience and good food. The menu has a lot of variety. Good for Chinese and Indonesian food.
Karthik Rao
Had been here for lunch on a Saturday. We were welcomed and shown our table immediately. The ambiance is very peaceful. It's a house, which belongs to one of the nieces of Mysore royal family, converted into a cozy restaurant. Our orders were taken by Chef Shakeel, who upon our request, recommended a starter from "Feast India co", whose seating area is merged with Fat Buddha. He suggested us "Galawat ke kabab" - vegetarian version which was amazing. It simply melts in your mouth, just like how our chef mentioned while helping us choose our dish. For main course, we ordered Thai red curry which was full of flavors. We had requested them to make it thick and rich and they delivered exactly how we wanted it. Coming to the staff, Chef Shakeel was an absolute delight. He's the most welcoming and gracious host that we've seen in a very long time. We shall definitely be going back.

Go at your own risk. We were served cold hakka noodles and an extremely spicy hunan vegetables gravy, despite repeated requests of serving non spicy food. Further, while we categorically requested to exclude mushrooms from our food, the gravy was full of mushrooms and the waiter asked us to to just remove it ourselves at first. He later took it inside and removed it himself and got it back when we insisted. The taste of the food was average and more on the spicy side. Over all a damp experience and would not go back to this place.
Tapas Pramanik
We suddenly visit this place with my friend. We had glass of wine and some chicken s. It was great experience. But there is no music
Shreya Gupta
It was okay.. have had better thai food.. taste was no so great
Arpit Bafna
The place looks really good and has a decent seating capacity. The staff was very polite and got us everything pretty quickly. The food was good but not amazing. One dish was bland but overall the food was fine. The only downside was the price. 8 of us ended up paying close to 6.5k which was quite expensive.<br/><br/>Ambience - 4.5<br/>Staff - 5<br/>Food - 4<br/>Price - 3

Another experience ordering in....we had the Veg Hakka Noodles, Veg Burnt garlic fried rice, Sauteed Chicken in Chili Oyster Sauce and Koengs Chili Chicken....I would rate the food fairly good and right among the top Indo Chinese restaurants in Bangalore. The portions of noodles and rice were small and we loved the veg burnt garlic fried rice and the chili chicken. I would certainly go back...
Prerna
Had heard great things about the place, but honestly ive had better. Ambience is amazing, staff is extremely helpful, and it is well located aswell. Was a bit disappointed with the food though.
Shrishti Srivastava
I love your Fish in Malay style, over and over again. It is a cozy place and now with both the restaurants that you are running, it gives us more variety to try. Also your staff is very friendly, super thumbs up there !<br/>I would love to come more often if the prices were 20 - 30  % less :)
Varalakshmi J
Courteous staff (Nivaas was the waiter at my table and he did a nice job) . Quick meal preparation (The main course is ready even before you finish your soup. The dessert arrives even before you finish your mains). Soothing ambiance.<br/>Must try for vegetarians: Manchow soup, grilled vegetable satay, and Crispy vegetables in sauce (Order this only if you don't mind oily food).<br/>Cons: Caramel custard is not recommended.
Rhea Agarwal
Food for the soul!<br/>Personal favorite is the Man chow soup and the spring rolls!<br/>Just the right amount of flavour in any dish that you order.<br/>Cozy enough for a gloomy evening or dinner and a lovely place for lunch as well!<br/>A recommend for sure!!
Tanvi Chaudhury
A very calm and peaceful restaurant. AMBIENCE is great. Manchow soup was great. Fat buddha Shangai rice and noodles combo was delicious. Must try buddh berry mocktail.

Food-4/5<br/>Cleanliness-4/5<br/>Ambience-4/5<br/>Service-4/5<br/><br/>Food, place and the location perfect for a nice family dinner r a couple dinner who like to enjoy the Chinese and Thai food with some nice service and quite surrounding. <br/><br/>Must try the chilli chicken and the Fat Buddha mix if u ok with rice and noodles with some grave in one bowl. <br/><br/>Overall a nice quiet place which u will enjoy with dinner.
Varun Gupta
The place charges a premium on all food items due to its prime location without offering any upside to the taste. We ordered noodles and found the taste just average. We didn't find the staff friendly. While DineOut app showed that we can pay the bill using the app to get a discount, the staff was not keen on giving us a discount by accepting the payment through app. Just a sincere request turned into a debate of sorts, damaging our whole outing experience.<br/>On a positive note, the place appeared to be clean and was quiet at the same time, thanks to the very few visitors coming to this restaurant.
Azaan Sait
Very bad service. Power went 6 times during a 45 minute dinner. No power back up. Staff were not trained to know the dishes well enough to offer recommendations. Pad Thai noodles came with almost no actual noodles- they were a mixture of vegies and meat with a weird orange paste. Also dumplings were served ice cold. Manager refused to even hear us saying he is busy.
Vamsi Vishwanath
A good place to try some chinese food. The singapore noodles and the garlic fried rice were good. Prices are a bit high. Could visit once for the good food.
NISHANK JAIN
Although the place is at the heart of the city, it is away from the hustle of the city. <br/>It is a calm place. A place where you can have long dinner conversations with decent low music in the background. The staff is courteous. <br/>Good Chinese. Good but not great.<br/>Feedback: Resturant should work on the presentation of the food when it is served.
Suvarna Geetha- Food Blogger
The name of the place took me there along with my friends đŸ‘«. The good part of the place is it’s away from busy city and you can have your food peacefully. The Ambience is mediocre. The service is good and polite . On the food menu I would say crab 🩀 soup 🍜 is the best as we don’t get this in the most of the restaurants in Bangalore. Rest of the food I find it average .This is the good place for pescatarians as you find many dishes on sea food. I would recommend this place to have a peaceful lunch/dinner with bunch of friends and family.

Located in an old building cosily, off Cunningham road. Scant parking facilities available. <br/><br/>Ambience: Very nice, couple of outdoor seating tables available, rest are indoor. <br/><br/>Service: Extremely poor. Waiters are very slow and seem rather disinterested. We had to beckon twice to just get the menu. Took over twenty minutes to serve a simple cocktail and a glass of wine. <br/><br/>Food: Taste of the food is quite nice. But the quantity is rather insufficient for the amount they charge. There was a long wait of 40 minutes for just one starter, a main course dish with rice to be served. And this was despite we being the first customers there! Didn't enjoy the meal after waiting for so long. When bill finally arrived the wine glass was charged more than what the menu advertised. When questioned about it, got a silly reply saying printing mistake in the menu! But then they took the bill back and reduced the price to the original. Rather unprofessional.<br/><br/>Overall: Terrible service, with decent tasting food. Not worth the money charged. Will definitely not go back.
Anusha P Shet
The ambience of the restaurant is really good with well served Thai and Chinese food!<br/>They have a friendly staff and cool place for the long lost friends to meet!!<br/>American pan fried hakka noodles got to be my favorite since the day I got in here!<br/>

Ordered a veg nasi goreng. It was delivered with egg on top. And I believe on inspection it contained non veg. The other glass noodles I ordered was below average. Not worth the price
Mainak SahaKundu
A very laid back place pretty close to the heart of the city. The first thing I noticed is the serene ambiance around this place. It has the charm of old Bangalore and the greenery that comes with it.<br/>It was a Thursday afternoon and the restaurant was almost vacant barring a couple of tables.<br/>Coming to the food, the thick mushroom soup was outstanding followed by the Satay and the Thai chicken. The Singapore noodles and the vegetarian Buddha's delight were also decent. I have a feeling that the starters were tastier than the main dishes however that should not be a let down. The food quality is pretty good and the plates served decent quality.<br/><br/>Fat Buddha not only serves Asian cuisine but also Indian delicacies.
Alok Pandey
Nice cosy environment for lunch with Decent price. Food was yum and service was prompt. Reach early to avoid afternoon rush as location is near to offices. They serve wine as well..
Adarsh
Petty quit and nice place for Chinese food .a must try is chicken celantro soup . Good place for couples for a date . Nothing bad about this place cost for 2 will be around 2k.
Mainak Nandi
Nice ambience but entrance was bit scary. You have to cross a abandoned house to reach the reach the restaurant. And no one is there to assist you in the entrance. Whatever nice decor inside but tables are closely joined with the chairs which may lead you to jump inside of it. <br/><br/>Ordered for a LEMON CILANTRO SOUP AND CRISPY VEGETABLE SAUTÉ. Soup was fine not that hot, how much it should be if it freshly made, crispy vegetables reminds me some roadside stall, where people fries the vegetables from long ago and just sautĂ© with some sauce upon receiving the order, I called their floor manager (a bald guy) the report about the same, but failed to convince him that it was not up to the mark, might be some other reasons too. That restaurant was quite empty, that might make the staff that lazy. Their manager was very proactive. Food was good in taste
Deepshikha Pathak
The place is serving great Chinese food. We tried the crab meat, rice with lamb curry and were delighted with the taste , the service and the presentation. It also has a lovely ambience and the garden outside gives you a Zen feel !
PinkyAn
The food is finger licking goodđŸ‘ŒđŸ»both veg and non veg.Their service/servers are very polite and well mannered.ambiance is great and center of the city.I could just spend the whole day with my friends and folks at this place.Must visit.
Arpitha
The food was out of the world. As a non vegetarian it is very difficult to get impressed with vegetarian food - but this place took the vegetarian food to a whole new level. Everything that we ordered was JUST WOW. <br/><br/>The staff and management were very kind and friendly. The ambience is very soothing. <br/><br/>The staff recommended us with a Thai tofu starter and a North Indian cauliflower and pineapple starter and a paneer curry which was scrumptious.

Visited there for lunch. Nicely done quaint place. ordered veg fried rice with vegetable chili garlic sauce. Both tasted very well. Had a satisfying lunch.<br/><br/>Food - 4<br/>Ambiance - 4<br/>Service - 5
Raghava Chandra Jai Shankar
Liked the place and food reminds of old style Chinese food at Bangalore...<br/><br/>This place serves the old style Chinese and Thai food, thai food to a limitation..<br/><br/>This place has a limited seating and parking nor available at the restaurant place.<br/><br/>Soup is good and starters suggested by them were good...<br/><br/>Rice and noodles have worked out good...but the jasmine rice or sticky rice would have been better for green curry..<br/><br/>Would definitely visit again...enjoyed
Avishek Banerjee
Came with my mother to celebrate her Birthday. Though the indoor seating is not that fancy or great- looks like a couple of seaters with a bar counter. But the staff there are very courteous and the food is exceptional. Its quite reasonable for the pockets as well.<br/><br/>A full course meal for two that included a soup, a starter, rice and main course and dessert cost us about 1500Inr. Plus the food being tasty was a real blessing for the evening.<br/><br/>Would definitely come over again.
Truth B Told
The ambiance of this place takes you close to the nature and a visit on a cloudy/ rainy day would remind you of Bangalore and not “Bengaluru”. But then you go into the restaurant to eat your meal and thats when I asked myself, “What was I thinking?”. <br/><br/>We ordered Veg and Non veg starters and I would have to say it tasted bad. I can barely remember what I ordered because the dishes were so bad. The chicken starters that I ordered looked like it was chewed and placed on the plate for us to consume. The Veg dish was not baked or fried well and tasted doughy. The Noodle/ rice we ordered was undercooked and the texture was like congee.<br/><br/>We’ve all experienced great food and bad ambiance, bad food and great ambiance and this place definitely falls under the latter. My friend recommended this place to me, but now I think he may have pulled a fast one on me. I am being generous by clicking on 2 rating while this place only deserves 1.
Sarah Pagal
Superb food, superb service and happy taste buds! Only one drawback, the place could be improved in various ways. The decor is not finished at many places but apart from all that, the food here is delicious! Thank you guys!
Hemanth Kumar
I am from Hyderabad. Have been here for a couple of times. The food is good and the staff are well behaved. It's bit congested but the overall experience is good.
Ankit Kumar
First things first... apologies for delayed review...<br/>Now I think the place was not meant for me... though the quality and hygiene was great... but I could not understand the food... who puts lady-finger in chicken recipe... and the quantity of combos was never ever near my expectations... so people who are hardcore non-veg lover... I don’t think the place is for you... :)
Amrita
It is not very difficult to find this place. Its bright pink board will catch your eye. It's in the building next to Accenture. We were greeted well.<br/>The place was quiet and cozy until the lunch hour rush began. It is a very cute place for a lunch/dinner date.<br/><br/>To start off with I wanted to try the Bodha Berry Mocktail but it was a bummer that they did not have it. They served some cucumbers and carrots when we sat down.<br/>Went on to have some lemon cilantro soup. The one by two portion was a lot. And it had a bit of extra lemon than what I would have like. For starters we had veg fried wontons and crispy chicken something. The wontons were good, the sauce was also good. But, the chicken was not as what we expected it to be. It was a bit rubbery and we felt as it was a day old. We skipped finishing that plate.<br/>We went on to have some veg Singaporean Noodles and Malaysian spicy potatoes. Thumbs up for the two. Pretty good dishes. And we didn't have space for any desserts cause the portions were good enough.<br/><br/>Ambience: 4/5<br/>The washroom and the patchy wall needs a renovation.<br/>Service: 4.5/5<br/>The staff is very friendly.<br/>Food: 4/5<br/>They messed up one dish :(<br/><br/>
Archana Sundar
Using ghee in a Chinese dish never came across these kind would rate very bad would suggest u not to visit this place, the staff is very rude and unprofessional
Aditya Vikram
Babycorn starter, satay style- 3/5<br/>Chilli Potato, Malaysian style- 5/5<br/>Sichuan fried rice- 4/5<br/>Vegetables in Hunan sauce- 5/5<br/><br/>Nice, quiet spot on Cunningham road.<br/>
Shyamalika Nagendra
Tucked away in the by lanes of Cunningham road, this Asian restaurant is like an oasis. The place was empty when we entered but got quite busy after. The service and ambiance is great. They have quite a variety in terms of food. The Thai salad is really good and so was the mock tail we had. The Singapore noodles is a good option for main course. We were stuffed with the food so we didn’t have dessert. Worth trying it out especially since there aren’t many options that side where the college crowd isn’t thronging. <br/>
Siddhant Hoshing
Good food. A lot of variety for non vegetarians. They should work on the veg menu, but whatever they served us in veg was delicious. Ambience is okay, the building looks a little old, there were a few leakage patches on the wall.
Vaishali Nagarajan
Fat Buddha is a secluded restaurant located right next to the Accenture building. The ambience is very peaceful, serene and laid back. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery which is very calming. However, we preferred to be seated inside because the weather was too humid outside. The indoor seating is quite comfortable with a glass window to keep the view in mind. <br/><br/>For appetiser we ordered the crispy Sichuan babycorn and for main course we went for the burnt garlic vegetable fried rice with vegetables in Hunan sauce <br/><br/>Crispy Sichuan babycorn consisted of fried, crisp babycorn with colour bell peppers tossed in a flavourful, not too spicy sauce. It had a hint of tanginess along with the flavour of lots of cilantro stalks. It was very delicious and gave the meal a good start<br/><br/>The burnt garlic fried rice was mild in terms of spice but the flavour of fried garlic elevated the dish. The vegetables in Hunan sauce made the perfect accompaniment to the fried rice. It had all my favourite vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, squash, carrot, babycorn and also had chunks button mushrooms in it. The vegetables were crisp, the sauce wasn’t spicy as given in the menu but was well balanced and the consistency was perfect. <br/><br/>The service was polite and the meal was very filling for the two of us. The portion size is good which made up for the extra bucks that we shelled. To sum it up, good food with pleasant ambience. I also enquired once, for my friend, the food they serve is halal.<br/><br/>Food- 4/5<br/>Ambience- 4/5<br/>Service- 4/5<br/>Value for money- 3.5/5
Aparna Kochumon
Quaint and calm, Fat Buddha is tucked away in a peaceful corner away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Discovered this place by accident but totally loved the serene ambience and the awesome food. The portions were of decent quantity and the quality mirrored the authentic taste of pan Asian cuisine. The staff was friendly and courteous. Only set back - we asked for ice cubes to cool the water but they had some foreign residue melting down from them. When enquired, even the waiter couldn’t figure out what it was. Except for this, was all the more a wonderful dining experience.
Pratiksha Suresh
Amazing food with a welcoming ambience..staffs are really good n service is fast..must recommend if u really want to have some private time with friends n family..
Vilaas Viswanatha Rao
Authentic food. Thai red curry with rice and the soup was fabulous. Fried wonton could have been slightly better. Loved it. Will be back soon to try out some of their other items on the menu
Sannidhi Surop
One of my favourites places to have lunch. It's quiet and has a beautiful ambience. Especially for the table outside there is a small garden view you can enjoy. The food is well seasoned and hits the spot. I always leave here with an over full belly.
Nethra2428
The place has a cozy ambience, private and a prefect place for a quiet and satisfying meal. The food tastes very good and the quantity is sufficient for 2. I personally love the pepper garlic fish and fragrant prawns. The burnt garlic rice is made to perfection. The Thai curry is simply mouth watering. Ravi from the staff is very courteous and helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.
Chavi Tandon
Been at regular at this place for the past 4 years, and never been disappointed! Lovely ambience, quick and warm service coupled with great food! Must must visit!
Raghav Agarwal
Ambience is very romantic<br/>Highly recommended for a date night<br/>Located in a quiet building on busy cunningham road<br/>Excellent food quality and great service<br/>Highly recommended dish: The babycorn satay which is served with a signature peanut sauce<br/>Their flavoured green tea after the food<br/>Only negative:Little tight on parking if the place is full <br/>But overall is a great experience and must visit for chinese food
Soumya Ajay
I was here for lunch with a friend this afternoon . Its my second time to this place, and this restaurant definitely doesn't disappoint me. To talk a bit about the ambience, its quite nice and warm in here. Its nothing very fancy, but moderately well done up outside with a lot of plants. <br/>They have a lot of options on their menu. We ordered a few mocktails, and each one was better than the other. <br/>The food was quite nice, amazing flavours and good value for money. I would really like to give a shout out to the man who looked after us this afternoon- Ravi. He took such good care, and recommended so many good dishes. He was extremely curteous and proactive. <br/>The only minus I can think of at this restaurant is their restroom, it definitely needs better maintaining. Maybe they should also focus a bit on painting up the walls inside the dining area , which i noticed was chipping out and damp. Not a very pleasant sight. <br/><br/>Overall, for the food and the service I give Fat Buddha a thumbs up!
Keerthana Mahesh
Food was average. <br/>Service must improve.<br/>A very very quite place.<br/>Staff should definitely learn how to communicate with the costumers and be polite enough.
Rohit Talgeri
Have been here 3-4 times<br/>The Ambience is very nice and romantic. Though it's a bit small with 10-12 tables. So I would recommend Prior booking. <br/><br/>The food has always been good, if not for wow. <br/>Would recommend the Barbeque Fish, Tofu Chilly and the chicken wings. <br/><br/>It's about 200-250/plate, The quantity per dish is also pretty good. So don't mind paying the price
Charul Mohta
Located in a quiet corner in a bunglow, this is a favorite spot of ours for Asian food. Have been here many a times and left quite happy.<br/>Their manchow soup and honey chilli potatoes are to die for.<br/>Staff is quite friendly and the service is fast.<br/>Keep serving good n yummy food Fat Buddha.
Nishanth T.R.
Tasty food and one of the best Chinese cuisines I have had till date. It’s a must visit restaurant for Chinese cuisine lovers. Don’t miss it
Chinmaya P Chigateri
I am giving this rating a 2.5 for a particular experience I had at this place. I have visited this restaurant a lot of times in the past and have given them a lot of word of mouth great reviews, however, the last time I was there left a bad taste in my mouth. Had a guest visiting me from abroad and I hosted him to a dinner here. During the course of our meal, we had been tasting some really really good Chinese food. But, my guest got a huge stone in a wanton dish, that practically broke his tooth. Immediately spoke to both the manager and the owner of the place who was also there. I must add here that it was a very a discreet complaint and we decided to give them the benefit of doubt and brushed it off as a one off case. They had that dish taken away from the table. Mistakes happen and we understand that.... We continued with our meal and the rest of the food was I must say great. However, when the bill arrived, I was surprised out of my gut that they had charged me for that "Wanton Dish with a Stone". What disappointed me was how insensitive could one be to customer experiences. The restaurant manager and the owner knew that the dish had a serious flaw, they knew we had not consumed it, but still decided to charge me for it. Well, I displayed the maturity to not complain again and gracefully paid for it. However, I must say, it left a bad taste in my mouth!
Aniketh Bafna
If you want to eat Chinese, this place will never disappoint you. Been here a couple of times and the food has always been good. <br/>We had an infant with us and they made sure we were given a couch. <br/>Good hospitality. <br/>They now have Valet Service too.
Noorain Ahmed
Edit<br/>They have drastically improved the food quality. Had been really long since we had good Indian Chinese- but please increase the quantity. It’s too less for the price. <br/><br/>Funny smelling stuff. All food here tastes something similar to when a home cook attempts Asian cuisine and fails horribly. We did a home delivery since we heard rave reviews from a friend - definite miss and won’t be ordering in again.
Arjun Rao
Horrible service. I ordered a specific starter. A different waiter brought me a different starter and tried to convince me to eat the dish he had mistakenly brought. I sent it back and asked for the dish I had originally ordered. Halfway through the main course, my original order arrived undercooked and indelible. I protested and requested it be taken back. At the end of my meal, my original dish was "reheated on a pan" and brought back. I was being convinced to eat the dish despite having already made do with what my company had ordered and having finished a dinner the quality of which did not at all justify the price. Why did the pester me to eat the wrong dish, make do with an undercooked dish, and begin a "re heated" starter at the end of my dinner? Why are we even having these conversations? No thanks.
Smitha Sanjeev
Went to this place for a nice lunch with my friends, but it is suitable for a corporate meal as well. The ambience is very pretty and calm. The staff were friendly and the service was good. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the spring rolls which are usually just floating in oil in other restaurants.
Sajith PM
After all the years finally visited this place. Ambience is on the average side. <br/>Started of with manchow soup, it was good. <br/>Loved CHICKEN KATSU, must try for all. <br/>Brunt Chicken fried rice with Sauteed Chicken in chilli was just yumm. Service was one of the best. <br/><br/>Food-5 Ambience-3.5 Service-5
Kausthuban Raghunandan
Good ambience inside and outside restaurant. Peaceful Atmos. Very good food at reasonable price. Fat Buddha Rice, Chilli Cauliflower, Spring rolls, Tom yum soup and Grilled tofu mushroom. Very good service and exceptionally fast.
Pallavivivivi
Even though this place is old, love some of the dishes here. Noodles and dimsums are my fav always n its tastier here. The appetizers are too tasty, soups as well.
Sankhdeep Mitra
Fat Buddha is a quaint, quiet Asian restaurant tucked away behind an unassuming residence on Cunningham Road. It's food, however, is anything but. Classic and contemporary Oriental flavors thrill your palate. Some of my favorites here are the Grilled Chicken with Cilantro and Lemongrass, Grilled Tofu and Mushrooms in Barbeque Style, and the Keong's Chilli Chicken. The fried rice here is a hands-down winner, be it vegetarian or non-vegetarian. As for mains, I highly recommend the Vegetables in Hunan Sauce if you are vegetarian. The choice of vegetables is delightful and the seasoning on the broccoli is sensational. If you are non-vegetarian, do try the Chicken Malay Style, Pla Pahd Cha (a Thai-style stir fried fish preparation), and Garlic Steamed Prawns. <br/><br/>At lunch time, you are likely to see small groups from nearby offices but it's dinner when Fat Buddha is enjoyed best, particularly in the company of a loved one or close family. Service is pleasant and unobtrusive. <br/><br/>They have a small selection of wines and mocktails. I would have preferred a wider selection of alcoholic drinks but you win some and lose some. The price is also more than your average Asian meal but the quality of the food and service befits the price. I am nitpicking at best here. <br/><br/>On the whole, Fat Buddha is an exquisite place to enjoy a quiet Asian meal which feels authentic without making you stray too far from your palate's comfort zone. Therefore, It gets my unsurprising vote for being one of the best of it's kind in the city.

This place is very near to our office in Vasanth Nagar and is next to Accenture office.. we went for a team lunch to this place..most probably a bungalow converted to this restaurant this place looks very neat and resort type and gives you a really nice food experience..having both vegetarian and non-vegetarian people in the group we ordered many items starting from soups,noodles,fish starter,chicken starter,spring rolls and main course..can't say authentic Chinese taster but it was having a fusion of INDIAN in it..quick service and professional staff makes your experience even better..Good Going Team Buddha!

I went there with my family on my birthday. The ambience was nice and so was the food. We ordered chicken winglet for starters, and koi- Thai noodles, Malaysian fried rice and schezwan chicken as main course. Would highly recommend this place. The staff was also very courteous.

Very nice and cozy restaurant with big selection of Asian dishes mostly tailored to Indian tasted. Just be careful to guests' allergies. Recommended!

Quick and well packaged food delivery, and very good quality of food, and flavours are good too! Always a good option for Chinese and pan Asian food in the area.

It was dinner in Fat Budha.<br/><br/>Was bit difficult to locate as it is located behind a building and board on the main road is not visible enough to help locate the place.<br/><br/>It is located in a quaint place with a I will call "small seating place". <br/><br/>Ambience: Average, nothing to talk about<br/><br/>Service: Servers were attentive, who gave suggestions and seek feedback. Though serving time was slow but we were not in hurry (was engrossed in watching cricket set above in house bar).<br/><br/>Food: Overall good experience:<br/><br/>Tom Yum Chicken Soup: Was good as it is supposed to be<br/><br/>Chicken schezwan in bean sauce (can’t recollect exact name but was suggested by server and was not included in menu): Delicious with right mix of flavour.<br/><br/>Chicken Malay: Good again<br/><br/>Hakka Chicken Noodle: Very Average<br/><br/>Kwai-Tu Veg Noodles: Lovely, as described correctly it had nice tangy taste. <br/><br/>Overall a pleasant experience.

I wss craving for chinese today so just checked the ratings on zomato and decided to try this one today for lunch. A shaddy place located at the corner of a residential complex. The back side of the complex was Fat Buddha restaurant. A small cozy restaurant with limited seating area. They have outdoor seating area as well. Indoors was neat and tidy. A weird smell was there which was taken care of when complained.<br/>Courteous staff suggested us to try<br/>Hunan chicken. This was crispy and we'll cooked in soya sause. It tasted delicious. The sauce was very tasty and enough for 2 people.<br/>Instead of trying a gravy with rice, he suggested to just go in for this one. Fat Buddha shagai chicken was our main course. Rice, noodles and fried noodles with shredded chicken and egg. Another delicious dish by them which had veggies and roastd garlic as well. It had a gravy as well so we didn't had to order another one to compliment this dish. A well served portion perfect for 2.<br/>I loved this place and would definetely recommend this one to everyone. Pricing is good and hard drinks are also available. Car parking is also available inside the residential property.

We have been very regular to this once delicious restaurant.... The quality has drastically gone down sadly 😭...............................

Been there many times before, but found that the quality had really deteriorated this evening. Thai food did not really have the typical punch. This hotel will not definitely remain in the top picks for my family any more!

As this place is being closely located to my work place I visit often and never get bored.<br/>Food tastes really authentic and perfect I would rather call it as. Crew is too friendly and approachable, ambiance is really neat and clean so a place that needs prefect visit to make yourself happy and your tummy happy!

Went there for lunch with my family and baby. Good ambience , great seating must day and food is tasty. Nice place for a lunch. Price is reasonable. Cons - the waiters are not trained well. Overall an ok place to go.

As my wife hasn't eaten Chinese for a pretty long time, it's decided that we will explore this place apart from the regular Chungs, wangs, Beijing Bites and the Chung wah.<br/><br/>Place - the restaurant is located right next to the Accenture building on Cunningham road, it's tucked away inside behind the apartment complex, parking is a bit of a challenge but thankfully when we went for lunch there weren't much crowd when we went. Seating is available outside as well but we choose to go inside which was neatly done and couple of tables near the window were reserved. So we took the center table. By the time we could start our lunch 3 other families arrived and the crowd was decent with the noise levels being absolutely low, much much better than the regular Chinese restaurants like the ones mentioned above.<br/><br/>Food - we ordered a soup couple of starters and main course. First we ordered manchow soup which was excellent, the balance of flavours were perfect and it was thick to perfection, good amounts of chicken chunk pieces made the soup even more tasty.<br/><br/>For the starters we ordered Keongs chilli chicken and a grilled chicken with Cilantro and lemon grass, but disappointed with tree quantities as it was not sufficient, the chilli chicken tasted good and was the chicken pieces were soft and juicy, the grill chicken lacked the punch!! The chicken breast pieces were thin in size and as mentioned before the quantity wasn't matching for the price mentioned.<br/><br/>For the main course we ordered veg American chopsuey and schezwan chicken noodles, the choupsey was tangy in taste, I'm not a big fan of choupseys but my wife enjoyed it!! The noodles tasted good as well and I was able to finish it off!!<br/><br/>Final words - As mentioned earlier the ambience was perfect and there was not much of noise, food is okie and priced on a higher side but as the saying goes all good things comes with a price. A soup, couple of starters and couple of main course will set you back by approx 2K. Here are some of the pics! Hope you enjoyed my review, until next time.....

Probably by far the worst Chinese food in bangalore - gets 1st place from the bottom on my list - to top that the service is non-Existent. Add to this the place is so poorly maintained the bathrooms are dirty- speaks volumes about their hygiene levels.

Came here for dinner in a moderately large group of 16-17 approx people. They don't have tables that big, so we sat in disjointed tables all over the place. The ambiance and first impressions are nice. The restaurant itself hides in the back in a cosy little getup and if you didn't know about the place from before, you would not spot it. The inside is well maintained, the sofa seats are comfy for a good unwind. As for the food, this is one of the best asian cuisine I have had in a long time. We started off with the spicy crab meat soup which was really good. For the main course I had the Peking crab which was equally brilliant. The meat was succulent and greatly appetising. For rice, we had the Fat Buddha shanghai rice and the Burnt garlic chicken fried rice. The Shanghai is a mixture of crispy noodles and rice and frankly did not suit my taste. Others might differ. The garlic rice was fantastic and paired with the Wok roast lamb in devil's sauce and the Lamb in black bean sauce, it just hit the spot. The lamb meat again is soft and succulent and you get the flavour well when you pair it with the right rice. So in all, the food did not disappoint. Pro tip: pair the meat and the crab with good wine and it will be an experience not easily forgotten. We took in a couple of bottles of Grover la reserve and even though its more expensive than right off the booze shop, we didn't regret it. Where this place does fall apart is the service. Several of the waiters were thoroughly disinterested and it took quite an effort to get their attention. The main course came before the starters for several of my friends. The food in general took ages to come. Settling the bill again took a tremendous amount of time and this is in short the weakest link. If you don't mind that, definitely go for the good food at a moderately expensive budget.

The place is very close to Cunningham road.I went there with two of my friends.The ambience is very pleasing.The service too is good.But the food we had ordered was not outstanding. But it won't disappoint you that much.We can go there once in a while.

We took our clients for lunch to Fat Buddha. I made a reservation 1 hour in advance and the tables were arranged promptly on time, even though all other tables were full. We realized our clients were vegetarians after reaching the place, hence ordered all vegetarian food. All the items we ordered were good and we were surprised to get such good vegetarian options in a pan Asian restaurant. Raw papaya salad and thai soup were super tasty. Service was prompt and ambience is lovely. It was a little noisy as we went on a busy Friday afternoon, but highly recommend this place for some great thai and Chinese food. <br/>
Sourav Kundu
The food is alright. Nothing special. I found it a bit costly compare to the items. Ambience is good and the staffs are also well behaved. Overall I will rate it 3.7 from my side.

Its one of those find out when I was searching for a good pan asian restaurant in zomato. This place will be around 7mins walk from the fun cinemas at cunningham road.<br/>Seven of us went there and I must admit that I was highly impressed to see the place. It had a lovely garden, earthen pots with floating lotus and beautiful flowers with some sitting arrangements made outside alongwith big umbrellas. But we went inside as were more in number and got seated in a comfortable sofa.<br/>The service was courteous and welcoming; they even helped us to decide what to order by recommending some incredible stuff.<br/>We ordered chicken lemon cilantro soup, keongs chilli chicken and grilled fish in black pepper sauce.<br/>I was completely bowled over by their dishes. The food was cooked to perfection and the presentation too was alluring. The soup had a lovely taste of lime and cilantro, grilled fish was succulent, full of flavour and it was astounding. I simply relished it. Even the keongs chilli chicken was worth mentioning. It had the right blend of spices and we all savoured it.<br/>Then we decided on our main course palate...we had non veg Kwai tu noodles, non veg Fat Budhha Shagai rice, Lamb in black bean sauce and Pla Pahd Cha. Each dish had its own uniqueness and had quite distinct taste. The kwai tu noodles were flat noodles mixed with veggies and chicken. It was yummy and a treat to have it. The Fat Buddha shagai rice was completely different and I have never tasted such kind of rice before. It had a gravy texture on the top and was simply topclass. Its a must try for all whoever visits this place. The lamb was soft, tender and fascinating. It will melt down in your mouth and you are bound to enjoy its sapidness. The Pla Pahd Cha was a combo of fresh chillies, baby ginger, thai basil with stir fried fish. Somehow the flavour fell flat after what he tried before.<br/>I somehow will recommend everyone to try out this place if you are a true lover of pan asian cuisine. Its really a worth to try....

After a movie at fun cinemas,we were looking for a place to have lunch and my bestie discovered this little gem,just two blocks after cunningham road.<br/><br/>From the outside its looks so calm and serene and has such a lovely garden.As you enter,you would see its so peaceful and spacious.The staff are very courteous and good at suggestions.<br/><br/>We ordered for the lemon coriander soup and keongs chilli chicken and grilled fish in pepper sauce.I loved all the dishes,they tasted wonderful and brings a different taste to your palette.Moving on to the mains we ordered fat budhha shanghai rice,khwai tu noodles,roast lb in burnt garlic sauce and pla pahd cha which was a stir fried fish dish. Each dish tasted different from another.it was like a burst of fresh flavor on our pallette.Loved the food here.<br/><br/>The pocket pinch was quiet reasonable too since we had so many items.I'm definitely coming back next time I'm in this area.

The drive here was great, disappointed with the location - but what the hec - decided to try it out. <br/><br/>If your going here with an SUV, expensive car, I'd recommend - not to coz you can't park on the main road and the driveway has very little room to Manoeuvre.<br/><br/>Food was Good , won't say the best !<br/>We had an over friendly staff that wouldn't get out of our face while we were eating so it was weird ! <br/><br/>But he managed to help us order food for our kids that suited their pallet ! So that was a YES for us. <br/><br/>Overall, if you haven't tried this place - a must try !
Vijay Krishna Yadav
Have been to this quaint neighbourhood restaurant a few time, like the ambiance, the courteous staff and yes of course the soul food. <br/>Last evening, we decided to get a quick bite, food wasn't upto the mark! <br/>I have had better food from your kitchen. <br/>PS: Do maintain the sanity at your restrooms
Manisha Mohan
Definitely a must try for all Chinese food lovers.<br/><br/>The advantages of the place:<br/>1. Food served as fast as ever! Never seen a place with good crowd and fast service<br/>2. Amiable staff: love the service quality<br/>3. Options for veg and non veg are equal: me being a veggie and hubby a non veggie- found the veg delicacies to be absolutely brilliant- veg manchow soup and burnt garlic fried rice was good.<br/>4. Good ambience: nice seating and pleasant <br/><br/>Scope for improvement:<br/>1. Options for side dishes: could be more in variety and better in quality. The main dishes outnumber the sides in the quality score<br/>2. Location/ visibility: the place is quite challenging to spot out for newbies like me!<br/>3. More desserts - please :(<br/><br/>Will definitely visit next time and would recommend to all my friends who are food lovers!<br/><br/>Good job team.
Suresh Wadhwa
Nice cosy place with a decent ambience. Very centrally located, The Fat Budha specialises in Pan Asian with focus being on Chinese. The food is good, and absolutely nothing to complain about. If there is one shortcoming it is the parking. Very limited place for cars and no valet service.
Lakshmi Vijay
Loved the ambience of this place. It's cosy and feels warm. It was hard to find though but great food, courteous staff not expensive either . A place I would wanna repeat!!
Bhupesh Gupta
The sliced lamb was truly heavenly. The dimsums were so soft and the vegetarian and non vegetarian options were both really good. The ambience is average and the approach is a little difficult but the food surely compensates for these smaller things.<br/>Also a mention to the staff, very attentive and super family friendly.<br/>
