The Buddha Bar is hidden down a small alley on Rokeby Road in the heart of Subiaco. It is a little slice of contemporary Indian where you can enjoy an intimate dinner, drinks and lots more. Inside you will find a cosy relaxed atmosphere where you can get a great Northern & Southern Indian meal with Asian fusion influences.

The Buddha Bar now showcases some of the best young DJ’s in Western Australia. Come for the Buddha Bar’s world famous butter chicken and chill out to the great music their DJ’s play from Tuesday to Saturday nights.

We are fully licensed and have a lounge area where you can come to enjoy a drink. When the weather is fine, we can open the roof and you are suddenly in an outdoor lounge away from the traffic. Remember when you visit to drop your business card off and go into the draw to win a bottle of wine each month.

First time entering, and passing through a very inconspicuous entrance, I was so surprised to see how big the place was inside!

I'd been warned about tiny portion sizes and poor value. NOT TRUE. We sat and waited for take away, which at 40% off the dine-in price was ridiculously cheap. Serving size of each dish was definitely enough for one person.

The waiter was very sweet.

All in all, we'll definitely be back- maybe next time we'll dine in and take advantage of the cool drink package options. (See my reviews (9) - November, 2008)

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE ARE YOU DEAF?I totally agree with previous comments. This place is not a mosh pit it is a restaurant. PPl come here for good wine and food (which is in abundance), however we do not come here to listen to someone elses bad taste music turned up to ear splitting decibels.For goodness sakes, please get your staff to turn the ruckus down and let the PAYING guests enjoy their experience.

Have no hesitation in recommending this restuarant to others. Found the food and service to be excellent (September, 2007)

Overall 3 - Food 7, Ambience 1, Value 3, Service 1

Dined there tonight with a group of women from 6:30pm (we were pretty much the only ones in attendance). The otherwise lovely food was totally ruined by the loud music. As we couldn't communicate with each other, several attempts were made to get the arrogant staff to turn down the noise to no avail, in fact they turned it up. Left straight after our main course (their loss). We thoroughly recommend you avoid this place if you want to enjoy a meal and conversation. Won't be coming back (sorry chef, your food was lovely) (Disappointed - August, 2007)

Overall 9.8 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 9

I think that the atmosphere and the food are great. It is the place to go to if you want to sit back and chill with some mates while enjoying a great meal. (Olivia S - June, 2007)

Overall 3.8 - Food 5, Ambience 5, Value 3, Service 2

From being ultra trendy at one point this restaurant seems to have taken a complete dive. The food was very average and the main course offered neither vegetables nor any side-dishes. It was a 'special' Valentines menu, but was poor value for money. The restaurant itself looks tired with loo doors coming off their hinges and service staff that obviously lacked both experience and motivation. I won't be returning. (Wendy - February, 2007)
