Circo

Very slow service. Second visit and asked to pay cash both times. Why? We were told to go to the cash machine round the corner. Bizarre in a modern restaurant

The restaurant was fun and the food fabulous! Staff were friendly and engaging recommending various meals according to our dietary requirements. I cannot remember the last time i had such creative amazing food. Having eaten at 64 degrees in the lanes, I would rate Senor Buddah much higher and its cheaper. I really wish I could eat here every week.

This is definitely a place I’d like to come back to very soon. Everything was perfect; delicious food, lovely staff & charmful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

This place is fantastic, I couldn't recommend it more highly. For months I went past it wondering if Senor Buddha was Asian or Spanish and decided that the schizophrenic name put me off. Then some friends went there and raved about it - my curiosity was peaked, so I booked it for our wedding anniversary dinner. We had a late sitting at 9:15 and were seated at the "chef's table", right in the heart of the action watching the chefs at work and sitting up on bar stools so that we could see all the other diners in this small restaurant. We were disappointed that half of the small menu had sold out, but ordered what remained and it was ALL delicious. Is it possible to look elegant and refined while running your finger around the plate to mop up every last smidgen?!! We had cod cheeks, brussel sprouts, BBQ Korean pork belly, calamari and tenderstem broccoli. My husband marveled that they could make broccoli and brussel sprouts (vegetables as a form of torture) taste divine. We had a scrumptious wine made from unicorn extract (!), the music playing was awesome and just the right volume and the waiter/owner(?), Dean, helped us to have a thoroughly enjoyable anniversary dinner. Long may this gem of a restaurant carry on!

Fantastic flavour to the food, however despite ordering 7 rather than 6 tapas plates as advised we found ourselves still quite hungry after the meal. This is highly unusual for either if us not being huge eaters. You are basically just eating the ingredient mentioned and a tiny bit of garnish, in tapas portions, but without the nutritious fibrous vegetables or salad I crave with all my meals as a side dish to fill us up it was disappointing to still feel hungry and unfulfilled . It is a very small compact venue with a lively atmosphere which is extremely noisy when full on a busy night. So much so that we gave up trying to have a conversation entirely as we just couldn’t hear each other at all, so not the place to go if like us you haven’t had a night out with your other half for over a year and you want to relax in each others company. The 2 waiting staff were super friendly and helpful but had to ask 2 guests at the table next to us to move every single time they needed to serve the two tables behind us, a ridiculous set up. This is because the space really is much too cramped for their table layout. Overall despite the gorgeous tasty food, competing in a city teaming with innovative restaurants serving glorious food I wouldn’t rush back, it was far too noisy and hectic to be a relaxing evening of good food, and £60 for a meal for two with no alcohol but you are both still hungry when you get home is just not rewarding enough for us!!

We enjoyed excellent freshly cooked food and excellent service. A fantastic place in a nearby location for us. Good value for the quality of food provided.

I found the food expensive and over pretentious with the chef a little too theatrical for the quality of food he was serving

Señor Buddha is great, the food is imaginative and delicious and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect place for some food before the cinema. The deep fried Brussels were very tasty.

Great food, great service and atmosphere. Highly recommended. The food is interesting and full of flavours that never cease to surprise. Outstanding and a must go

Fantastic atmosphere. Do not be put off by being out of town. Food presentation very original and makes you want to come back again very soon. Good wine list with plenty of choice, most reasonably priced.

A fabulous experience coupled with incredibly delicious food and a brussel sprouts dish that single handedly converted me! The compere performed brilliantly. Highly highly recommended.

Fabulous food at reasonable prices. An absolute gem in London Road opposite The Duke of Yorks cinema. The squid ink sauce is to die for, inventive but very tasty food.

Great Food & Service - different and really tasty dishes! Our fifth visit and still same high quality, something many other restaurants are unable to maintain.

Fun and quirky place with a good vibe - the Tequila prawns were to die for - make sure you get some bread to soak up the sauce!

I love this place. We’ve been regularly since it opened. I wish it would keep some of its tapas classics, but they seem keen to change their menu regularly, continually pushing themselves to find new flavours and test out new ideas. The pear and white chocolate dessert, oxtail and sweet potato were excellent. The staff were upbeat and helpful.

The food is unusual but amazing. Cooked in front of you with passion and enthusiasm. The service is very engaged with the staff effectively joining you in the experience. A quite different dining experience and heartily recommended .

Delicious food, great selection of creative dishes, loved the braised pigs cheeks, tequila flaming prawns & chocolate mouse with poached pears. Amazing vibe and fabulous staff - can’t wait to come again!

Tasty food - fresh and filling. We received exc3llent service. We were made to feel special. Wine was kept topped up. Fun play list. We really enjoyed our dinjng experience.

once again. totally blown away with flavours. being a vegetarian the choice is halved, but hey there is still plenty to choose from. totally unique Brussels sprouts deep fried with thai sauce. mmmmmmmm. 241 on tapas on Tuesday makes it well worth it.

Tasty food and attentive service. Didn't have a bad dish. Good wine list. Atmosphere great - only complaint is that the restaurant is very hot.

Fun atmosphere, friendly service, good value, nice wine, good food. Sadly the good food turns cold very quickly as the plates aren't heated. 25 words.

A small and intimate restaurant service was excellent and Dean was awesome. Food was presented very professionally and was equally as delicious. Dessert menu was a little limited ... If you have any room for dessert after all the tapas dishes! Highly recommend, will visit again for sure.

I've been to Senor Buddha many times now, the food is amazing and Changes regularly. Dean, the maitre De is incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you sit at the the bar you'll get a little introduction to each dish by the chef

Fantastic service and delicious food. There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant. The only downside was that portions weren’t particularly generous for sharing - but that’s being picky. It really was great!

Fantastic food right on our door step. Very underrated. Came here by recommendation and we are have not been disappointed. Very friendly staff who are faultless. Head Chef very friendly. If you can, try to get a table overlooking the kitchen do you can see it all being prepared

Excellent tapas and raciones and an entertaining evening thanks to Dean. The restaurant is small and noisy but this all adds to the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Quite simply, brilliant. Delicious food, great atmosphere, amazing service and staff. Such good value for money, we will be back again and again that's for sure!

Went there with my wife. Very tasty food and cosy atmosphere. Some might say a little pricey for what it is however the Spanish / Asian fusion works well and the carefully created sauces fit each dish perfectly. Not a place to go if you have skipped breakfast or lunch but if you want a nice meal and appreciate inventive cuisine you won’t be disappointed. All in all we were happy and would recommend this restaurant for something a little different or for a sneaky date.

Fun, friendly atmosphere, some of the dishes were spot on whereas others didn't quite hit the mark. The padron peppers were perfect, the sesame pork ribs delicious. But some of the fancier 'raciones' either had ingredients listed I couldn't taste (aioli and fire in the asparagus dish for example) or too much flavour - such as the prawns which were in quite an unpleasant sauce overpowered with ginger. Keep it simple when ordering and you'll have a great meal!

Great food at senor buddha. Staff very warm and enthusiastic about the food which is on offer. We even where given a free drink due to it being our anniversary which was a nice touch

Great fun, friendly staff and great food. The menu changes frequently. It's noisy though, so not a place to go if you want an intimate chat.

My husband tells me I am a very fussy eater, however I have never had such delicious tapas. Beautifully fresh ingredients and lots of attention to detail and layering of tastes. Just gorgeous. I'm not fussy I have just been waiting for a place like this. We ate loads plus beer and it came to only £35. Loved it. Well done Senor Buddha

Amazing food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere - we had a lovely evening and will definitely be going back and recommending to our friends.

Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful food, great value for money. One of my favourite restaurants in Brighton - there is always a warm welcome, and all the staff are super friend Y.

Amazing food with a great varied menu. A very friendly welcome and atmosphere! One of the best dining experiences I have had in Brighton. I will definitely be going back.

Great food and atmosphere. Tuesday 2 4 1 deals makes it even more satisfying!!! I heartily recommend this restaurant to those wanting a lively and gastronomical enriched night out.

Amazing as always - food. Atmosphere. Staff. Unbeatable. Been 5+ times. The ribs are the best we have ever had. Squid and mango salad amazing. In fact there hasn’t been anything that isn’t! And always surprised at how reasonable the bill is!

Amazing food as always. Best place to eat in Brighton. Really interesting menu expertly prepared. Brought my niece last night. She loved it. Great wines too.

It was a joy to eat there for both the food and the wonderful hospitable staff. We had a very wonderful time there, and left feeling that we had visited somewhere special. The lively atmosphere still managed to give some personal space.

Fantastic food and staff were amazing & very welcoming. The manager is great fun and a nice lively atmosphere with the best tasting tapas & excellent chef.
