" The restaurant has an eclectic decor that adds to its charm! Sat outside on a sunny afternoon, which was perfect. I ordered the Veggie Samosas and they were crispy and flavorful. My main dish was the Green Curry, and while it was packed with taste, it could've used a bit more spice. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall, a delightful experience, I will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cute little spot with amazing food! Tried the pad thai and it was everything I had hoped for. My only complaint was that I had to wait quite a while for a table but once seated, the service was great. A lovely dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every meal I've had at The Smokin' Buddha has been delightful. The last visit, I tried their butter chicken, and it was sumptuous! The atmosphere is suitable for both families and dates, and service is prompt. Each time I’ve visited, there has been something new to discover on the menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Smokin' Buddha has been one of my favorite places since we first discovered it years ago. The menu has vegan options, which is a blessing for anyone looking for plant-based meals. I had the mango salad and Buddha bowl, which were both fresh and delightful. The ambiance is quirky and cozy, perfect for catching up with friends and enjoying a good meal. I couldn't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with friends after hearing rave reviews. The atmosphere was enjoyable; however, the long wait for food was surprising. When it came, though, the tacos tasted fresh and bursting with flavor. It seems like they focus on quality ingredients, which I really appreciate. Service staff was pleasant but could use a bit more organization during peak busy times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon The Smokin' Buddha while exploring the area, and what a pleasant surprise! I had the shahi paneer, which was delectable. My friends had various dishes and all were impressed. The service was also fantastic, with our server giving us great recommendations. This will definitely be on my must-visit list whenever I’m in Port Colborne! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a dinner outing and had the Pad Thai and spring rolls. The Pad Thai was good but not the best I've ever had—still enjoyable. Service was quick, and our drinks were refilled without us asking! The vibe was relaxed, and it would be a great spot to chill with friends. Overall, I would return but I'm eager to try something different on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
