Red Hot World Buffet and Bar
New buffet serves up hundreds of tasty dishes with a touch of class.
Review
Red Hot World Buffet is a multicultural melting pot of world cuisine all stuffed into one big food-fest in Deansgate. The self-serve restaurant knocks up an impressive 300 dishes every day, hand-picking the best foods from Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Mediterranean, Thai, Japanese, Italian and British cuisine.
It is a pretty good excuse to round up the troops for a cheap, easy and bloody tasty meal out, especially as no-one can complain. Even the fussy buggers who rigidly object to munching anything other than chips and ketchup can find something to tickle their taste buds.
We've all visited those dodgy ten-pound-a-head buffets where you feel like you're stepping back into the 1970's with the dingy décor, but Red Hot is pretty swishly done-up and doesn't look out of place bang-smack in the centre of trendy Deansgate.
It's refreshing to see a buffet with fresh food, too. We particularly enjoyed pretending to be Gordon Ramsay by choosing our own ingredients for a stir-fry that was then freshly cooked while we watched, salivating. There was no waiting around for our concoctions to be served up courtesy of the 35 chefs on duty. If only the NHS was that well staffed.
Desserts were pretty unecessary after we had given in to the temptation of another plateful of peri-peri chicken wings, but if you are man enough to fit in dessert then your reward is plentiful, with an ice-cream parlour and around thirty cakes and puddings to scoff on.
If you don't leave with an added waddle in your walk, then you haven't scoffed enough.
