The theming of this place is fantastic. It is of course themed around an Aladdin-style marketplace, and offers middle Eastern style food.

There are plentiful supplies of starters - fresh salads, couscous, olives, chickpeas and so on. I could have happily made a meal of these.

The main courses have more variety than you might think. As well as fish, lamb and chicken in various sauces, there is shredded kebab meat with pittas, veg and sauces so you can make your own kebabs; also merguez sausage, meatballs, vegetable dishes, rice and so on. However, when we visited (5.45 pm) the hot food wasn't hot. In fact it was almost cold. I suspect this is partly because of the time we went, and it would be better at lunchtime. Shame, because the quality of the food is good.

The desserts are pretty good. There's fresh fruit salad, and also whole fresh fruit, but also a huge tray of sticky baklava, some spiced ginger cake, saffron biscuits, pistachio and chocolate cake, and a lovely plum tart. There is a separate station with pancakes and bottles of caramel, chocolate and strawberry sauces. I think there may have been ice cream also but we didn't have room!

My favourite part of the dessert offerings was the fresh-tasting chocolate sauce which I poured over my fruit salad. I don't know if perhaps they use crème fraiche in this rather than cream? It wasn't too sweet but absolutely luxurious. A real must if you go there.

We finished our meal with a coffee for Peter and a Moroccan mint tea for me. These are not included in the buffet price, so we needed to pay afterwards for these. It's worth noting that a soft drink is included in the price of the buffet, though.

The mint tea was served in a lovely silver teapot (use your napkin for the handle and keep little fingers away, it gets hot!) and a ruby-red and gold glass. It was sweet and spiced, a good way to finish the meal. Peter's coffee turned out to be an espresso - you need to specify cappuccino or café au lait if you don't want this!

A final tip: do leave yourself plenty of time for your food to go down. I found it rather heavy on my stomach for the rest of the day, and was only grateful I wasn't going on Space Mountain afterwards...

All in all, a good place, and I would go again, probably at lunchtime. Good for veggies and anyone craving fresh veg and fruit particularly.
