Customer Feedback
Main: chicken Kathmandu and monkfish curry -both dishes were simply amazing.
Staff helpful and friendly. Cosy atmosphere. Stunning interior design.
We will definitely be back.
Thanks for great experience.



We arrived during the lunch menu being available. Plenty of choice from each courses and fantastic value for the price (£17.95 for 3). I opted for the Sha Phaley for starter and the Khatmandhu Chicken for mains as I wanted to try something different. Both were amazing. Sticky Toffee for dessert was also one of the best I've tried. They also have a great drinks menu and we tried out their detailed cocktails range which were really awesome.
Rabi, the owner and chef took time out to give us a tour and explain some of the decor, all authentically brought over from Nepal. We also got to see the garden out the back where they grow all of their own crops.
We will be back soon (once we get a babysitter again). Can't recommend highly enough.

very kind and helpful and it was exceptional service and presentation even considering it was a busy friday night. The staff welcomed us with a small canapé and welcome drink and everything was fantastic

Lovely staff, super friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back especially for some more sea bass!Posted on Dorothy EVerified Amazing place and will be back Had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with family, food and service were superb, would definitely recommend this place and will returnPosted on Ann GVerified A Delicious Experience Worth the Wait We have visited this place more than 10 times now with friends, families and work colleagues, and we’ve never been disappointed. I just wanted to express our appreciation for your delicious food and to thank you for choosing our wee town of Johnstone for De’ Buddha! Don’t let a few negative reviews get you down. you can’t please everyone. We know that great food takes time, which is why we’re happy to wait, even for an hour. After all, fast-food places like KFC and McDonald’s often take 20-30 minutes during busy times for pre-prepared meals. Keep up the fantastic work, and be proud of what you do! Your restaurant is rated rightfully, and I’ll happily recommend De’ Buddha to everyone I know. All people who have been to your place are raving about how good it is . A real hidden gem in Johnstone and a pride of our wee town.Posted on McNomadVerified Is this place over rated? Lovely place and staff, but the food is over rated I am afraid. Loved the decor and it was toasty and warm. Served by pleasant staff. But we waited nearly 40 minutes for our main as did the couple next to us. I ordered the chilli chicken which was hot and very tasty, but so disappointed to get only 4 pieces of chicken whilst my wife got lots more, but also a shop bought naan bread with her Kathmandu curry which she said was OK. Toilets were clean and we will return to give it another chance.Posted on Emily SVerified Brilliant Experience This is some of the best food we’ve had in a very long time. It was very traditional and the presentation was beautiful. We had the signature goat curry which was fantastic. The cocktails were also so unique and tasted amazing. The service was brilliant, the staff could not be nicer.
