Great variety of food but If in a group you can easily do the whole menu Food is really tasty with some excellent combinations of ingredients you would not usually have thought go together but this chef is so clever it really works

Great atmosphere, amazing food. Service was great and dealt with a missing dish with creativity, style & humour. You do need to go with the flow in this restaurant but def worth it.

Delicious and innovative tapas in a lovely, relaxed setting. We loved the food, wine and deserts. It was pretty much faultless but as a vegetarian, it would be good to see a couple more options.

Another delightful meal at Senor Buddha, and importantly for me four excellent vegan options to choose from. As always the wine was superb too. A cosy, bustling atmosphere fine food and good wine, a perfect way to spend a fresh spring evening.

Really enjoyed the food and the service was good. Some more wine options would've been good but that's just nit picking. One of the more interesting menus in brighton.

Food was good, but felt that you were "packed in" a bit on a Saturday evening. Aware tha they do another sitting on a Saturday, but you were pushed to pay the bill, overall ok but not as good as you would hope.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, lovely chefs/foh going at incredible pace. Love the inventiveness of the dishes though not quite as wonderfully bonkers as last time we visited. But a real gem.

A great little place - very reminiscent to small tapas places I've been to in Barcelona and Madrid. It's tapas with a twist, so don't expect to have the same old standards that most tapas restaurants in the UK would serve. We tried most things on the menu, all were good and some were really fantastic. Dishes ranged between £4.50 to £8, and were all fantastic value for money. The wine list was also good, with plenty of good Spanish wines around the £20-£30 mark. Two of us had a bottle of wine, 5 tapas to share plus a dessert, and the bill only just topped £40!! Everything is cooked to order in the open kitchen, which also adds to the atmosphere. If I was in Spain and went to a place like this I'd be really happy. To find this kind of food in Brighton is amazing - and I'll definitely be going back ;-)

Some lovely dishes that combine Spanish and Thai flavours. The scallops and a zesty salad were to die for, asparagus was great and other dishes worked well. But I don't think Thai and Spanish should be combined at any cost - the cauliflower, pineapple and tamarind was very strange indeed.

I've walked past Senor Buddha many times during the day and because it's next to some dodgy looking fast food joints never considered what it would be like. If you like Tapas you'll love it. Innovative combinations cooked and served with obvious passion and a lovely open kitchen informal vibe. We had 5 tapas, and a fat glass of red and spent £40 inc tip. What's not to like?

A small restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and great staff. The food is absolutely delicious! We shared 5 dishes in total between the two of us, our favourite being the mutton stew

The food was delicious; a perfect balance of the unexpected and staunch favourites. For example the patatas bravas were spicier than they come at most tapas places in Brighton, the combo of lychee went really well with the fried goats cheese and the miso dressing on the grilled asparagus absolutely made it. Our party was one veggie and one eater-of-all-things and there were plenty of menu options to satisfy both of us. The only downside was that there were a few items on the menu not available, which we only found out after ordering. It happens though, and after eating our delicious meal we hardly noticed their absence.

Just fantastic - I LOVED the menu and could have eaten all of it. Although slightly concerned when given two places on stools at the pass, it was great to see some dishes before we ordered and none disappointed from potatas bravas to exceptional asparagus and pork I would gladly have eaten three plates of. It is a small restaurant and you can have to wait to order etc, not all the dishes arrive together, but for this quality of creativity and taste overall it was outstanding and I am very fussy!

The staff were nice, but the food was not great, plus they lost our order then rushed it through as we were due at the theatre. Atmosphere - was too light in the restaurant - could have been a bit more of a romantic type of lighting. Will not be going again.

I honestly cannot rate Senor Buddha highly enough... a wonderful gem in Brighton!! The food is unreal and an experience that should not be missed! I'm loathed to share how wonderful in case gets too busy and I can't get a table again... We sat at the pass this Saturday just gone, which is really wonderful as you can watch the team work and they are more than happy to chat, even the very busy head chef... We had four tapas dishes all different and as good as each other... They also offer great mid-week offers with 2 for 1 on tapas I think Tuesday and Wednesdays

A delightfully cosy tapas bar. Warm and welcoming with excellent food and wine. Thoroughly recommend the grilled asparagus salad, lively padrons and of course the patatas bravas.
