All You Can Eat in Glasgow
Buffets are genius aren't they? Perfect for those annoying people who stare at your plate when the food arrives and "wish they'd ordered what you're having"; perfect for blokes who actually believe that it's their manly duty to eat until they can't see anymore and for folk who just like a 'little bit of everything'. It's a well known fact that Weegie's like their grub in all shapes and forms (as well as their wine and song) so here's a little taste of the best 'all you can eat' venues in the toon.
Best for sneakily filling up yer Tupperware.
Modern India
51 West Regent Street
G2 2AE
(0141) 331 1980
Maybe you're skint, maybe you're just not that hungry at the mo or maybe you're just a greedy little piggy. Whatever your reason, Tupperware boxes are idea for filling full of pakora, samosa, pilau rice and bits of nan bread that you can attempt to sneak home and gorge yourself on later. Modern India's Buffet is rather good and only costs £6. Just remember to take a bag as the waiters may object to your and your mates running out with plastic boxes full of korma sauce. You can even get 2 for 1 buffet vouchers. Well, Father's Day is coming up after all.
Best for having an eating showdown
China Buffet King
22-24 West Nile Street
G1 2PW
(0141) 221 8899
Starved yourself all day? Wearing loose fitting clothes? Toilets located and accessible? Then you're ready. China Buffet King is one of the nicer Chinese all you can eat emporiums. Sure it's visually about as exciting as fresh air but who cares. The food is always piled high, the choice is good and they don't hover over you waiting to pounce as you finish your first plateful. Popular with office workers during the day, this is the perfect place to stuff your face at lunchtime for under a tenner. Be careful though. Rolling back into the office at 2pm with a belly the size of Neptune will only lead to the evitable sleepy 3pm lull.
Best for variety
Khublai Khan26 Candleriggs
G1 1LD
(0141) 552 5646
The food here is big, mean and will leave the elasticated waistband on your jogging bottoms in a terrible state. The Mongolian Feast costs £19.95 Sun-Thu and £21.95 Fri-Sat. Forget your Chinese and Indian buffets, the feast is the daddy. The idea is simple. You pick your meat such as kangaroo, wild boar, ostrich and shark, choose your spices and sauces (ideas for recipes are also on your placemats) then give it all to the chef who will cook it in front of you while your stomach rumbles in anticipation. You can also go up as many times as you like until your legs inevitably buckle underneath you.
Best for those in denial/on a diet
Pizza Hut
108 Renfield Street
G2 1NH
(0141) 332 4820
You'd forgotten about the salad and pasta bar hadn't you? Forget the cheesy delights of a stuffed crust; it'll only give you nightmares anyway. If you're one of these 'I care about my weight' types we keep hearing about and you find yourself in Pizza Hut with a pizza lovin' friend this is your best option. Fill your plate with green stuff and munch away. You can gloat at being all healthy until you realise there's actually quite a few calories in that vat of coleslaw you smothered the cucumber in. You can get low fat tagliatelle and garlic bread if lettuce doesn't do it for you and there's free diet Pepsi refills, free tap water - they'll even serve you milk.
