JRC Global Buffet

Nice place, nice decor. Staff at Reception weren't that welcoming, and you do have to pay before you even see the restaurant which is a bit strange. Food selection is Great, everything you can think of but some of it isn't hot (prawns) so I didn't eat it just in case. Good value for money, nice drinks too. I guess just check on the temperatures and customer service. Other than that it's cool, wouldn't stop me going back.

A friend and I have been eating at JRC around once a fortnight for the passed couple of years. We usually go at lunch time during the week, when it only costs £11 (currently) and it is usually less than half full, so you can take your time and stay for a full three hours (12 to 3) if you like, without anyone bothering you about time limits. Although they don't have the full range of food out at this time, there are still plenty of different dishes to choose from, including stuff suitable for fussy kids. We have only been once in the evening, and although the increased range of food was impressive, some of the dishes had to be queue for, and you can only eat so much food anyway! The place is not perfect (hence 4 stars). Sometimes our favourite sweetcorn soup tastes disgusting, as if someone has forgotten to put any salt in it at all and the "chocolate" in the chocolate fountain (in the evening) was rather disappointing, but as the food is generally very tasty and we have been there around 50 times now, and intend to go again in a couple of days, they must be doing something right.

Great buffet place. Tons of options. Free parking is a bonus my only quibble is the time limit in the restaurant, however this has never stopped us going on a number occasions. There's a great selection of Chinese, Indian, Italian, breaded, steamed & grilled foods and of course salads and sushi. The dessert selection is huge and the chocolate fountain is always a hit. It's always busy and definitely a good place for groups. Birthday meals are free, you'll need to present your passport and book in advance. They don't do a full spread for lunche unless its a Sunday that's why sometimes it's cheaper. Booking in advance for large groups is a definite must.

Plenty variety to eat. If you want to sample a large variety of cultural food all under one roof this is a good place to go. A must for someone with a big appetite and limited budget. Helpful staff.

I have been to various branches and I thought Croydon was one of the best but the standard has dropped! Even tho we got there at start of dinner time the food was cold, alot of the food was obviously overcooked remains from lunch time. The high chairs were filthy, the staff were like indifferent robots who didn't smile or even respond when you say thank you. The glasses were worn and not clean looking. Cutlery was not impressive. Overall I wont be going back. Its a great concept but they need effective management.
