" Visited The Smokin' Buddha on a weekend and it was packed! The service was a bit slow, but understandable given the crowd. I ordered the Butter Chicken and it was okay but not as flavorful as I expected. My friend had the Pad Thai, which she loved. Overall, a decent experience but I'd recommend going on a less busy day for better service. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has truly lived up to the hype! I attended a family dinner and everything was top quality. The Butter Chicken was delightful, and the garlic naan was among the best I've had. The ambiance gave off a homely vibe, which makes it ideal for families. The service was prompt and engaging. Will be visiting again very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. The food had potential but fell flat on the flavor aspect. The service was fine, but I would have appreciated more attentiveness since the place wasn't too crowded at the time. It's a cozy spot, but I think I would explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a fantastic find! The Smokin' Buddha has such an interesting mix of cuisine. I had the Jerk Chicken, and it was one of the best I've ever had—spicy, succulent, and paired perfectly with the mango coleslaw. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are always friendly. I felt welcomed and taken care of during my entire visit. Definitely a must-visit for anyone traveling through Port Colborne! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try this place after hearing countless recommendations. It was fantastic! The unique blend of dishes makes this place a treasure. I personally went for the Pad Thai, which was a burst of flavors and perfectly cooked. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot for a meal with friends. Will definitely be back for more!

" 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*)
