We meet as a group of friends regularly at Far Buddah but will head elsewhere next time. We were placed next to a Christmas work party. I considered to move as the noise level was high. Then I thought, if they had spare tables then they would have placed us with space between the tables... As the night went on the table got louder still to the point I couldn't hear the people opposite me at our table. I would have fully understood that this is that time of year but the restaurant did not fill out beyond 50% capacity, so it certainly would have been kinder to all if they had spaced us out better. Last moan: when my friend ordered their main they ordered a fish dish and when they orders the rice they requested a lamb rice. The server frowned upon this and advised that the two didn't go together. My friend said that he wanted to try different things. But by now the damage was done and he ended up having garlic rice instead to go with his garlic naan... I don't think this was fair at all. If a customer asks for recommendations then I fully get it, but if, like my friend was there to try different things, then they should be allowed to do so without judgment. Very sad, but all things come to an end.

The food is good but the cost is way too high relative to the quality. I have no issue paying the bill but will be unlikely to be hurrying back sadly.
