I really enjoyed my dining experience here the atmosphere was relaxing, food was hot and service very welcoming and friendly. Adding a free shot for my friend's belated birthday was a nice touch to end our meal. I want to return with my family next time.

Good menu, great and pleasant service. Not sure the very loud Motown singer was needed, he was good but interrupted all chances of talking once in place. This lovely setting didnt need this on a Friday night. This made us want to finish up quickly and leave. Booking is recommended as many people were turned away. One of us got ill after their meal, unsure if linked to the food they had (no one else had the same).

I booked a table for 7.30pm on Saturday 12th September when we arrived at Buzz they had no record of our booking - I had information that I could show them from open table on my phone - luckily the chap was very friendly and managed to find us a table even though it was busy. We ordered and received our food promptly - absolutely delicious authentic Greek food ! I had the plant gyros & my husband the platter for one - he aaa a bit surprised that he had to order pita and dip separately as he thought this may have been included as part of platter - we really enjoyed our food and the staff were lovely. It hit busier as the live music came on (great duo and not too loud just perfect for background music) we wanted dessert but had to wait quite some time then my husband managed to attract waitresses attention she explained they didn’t offer desserts as such ( though I’m sure I saw baklava and ice cream in the menu ?) she explained they had cake or baklava in yet cabinet - my husband asked for a couple of baklava - we were surprised how tiny they were - a bite sized piece each - absolutely delicious but we were expecting them to be bigger - however didn’t put us off coming back in the future as the food was delicious and the service good, staff very welcoming and friendly and the live music wonderful - a perfect venue to celebrate our anniversary and we both thoroughly enjoyed it - thank you The Buzz !
