UK'S Most FAMOUS Buffet WOULDN'T LET US FILM! Nawaab Is Now Called MERZEE!

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

So what do you guys think? On one hand it’s their house and their rules but on the other I was just confused why I could show the food on my plate but not where we get the food from? And it’s never been an issue before? Confused really but we ofcourse complied

[@MandR.FoodandTravel]

Salaam brother, thanks as always for the videos! My local Royal Nawab is in Perivale, London. Do you know if it's the same company, quality etc.? I should've gone before when it was cheaper, it's now £27 per head 😂

[@brina3982]

It’s because half of the cooks aren’t legal or are here on different documents. They’ve been busted in the past for it

[@qadirrazak5584]

What's the price now single person

[@Thefatfoodiemcr]

I think the issue about you filming were the food was is because the staff may have immigration issues 🤔

Your not an animal if you eat with your hands…. It’s sunnah

[@tmo70]

ill be honest and don't rate Al Maida. The chicken wings and the other grilled meats ALL tasted the same. they basically used the same spice for the grilled meats. Also the staff were rude and they gave us a 1 hour time limit. The donuts were not cooked properly and the batter used was cheap. Think of going to Blackpool and getting the cheap donuts from the pier. Well the donuts here were worse. Overall my rating would be 2 out of 10 for the Al Maidah. On the other hand, Cluck a Ritos rocks for chicken burgers and is now my go to place thanks to your recommendation. 🙂

it was due to legal issues between the family owners which is kinda sad

Still called RNW* in London. Was this the one in Manchester? Maybe they sold this one and opened that second one in London at the Ilford.

Yes in Manchester

Yes Ali once again great vlog enjoyed it but would have been nice if could have let you film all the different dishes, one quick question is Taz your real brother?.

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

Yes he is 😀

[@Sonia_javaid88]

As Ali says he's my "blood brother" yes there real brother lol

[@n1knak]

I went to the one that’s adjacent to the hoover building and was really upset with the mains. The curries were flavourless and lacked salt (and I never complain about salt). The naan breads were doorstops too, thick and chewy, and comparable to store bought ones. I did enjoy the starters and desserts but I came home feeling hungry after the meal. The whole experience doesn’t warrant the £34 price per head I paid. Stick to a la carte option, buffets are always below average in quality

[@jffantasticreviews]

Great review again bro. Always enjoy going Nawaabs.People have different tastes. So apni merzee

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

Thanks my bro

[@Thefatfoodiemcr]

They should let you film its free advertising for there restaurant get them more customers threw the door great review heyman

I agree but it’s their choice at the end of the day

[@masbuleinlondon]

Congrats for reaching 50k subscibers :)

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

Thank you so much 😀

[@n.waters]

We went last night. Awful experience. The quality has gone down hill so much. After a plate of processed dry chunks of chicken in the curries I could eat any more. 6 of us, after two plates had stomach pain. Too much cheap fats. The staff were over bearing and rude. stood in groups around our table. No air conditioning on a very hot and humid evening. The people who visit are no longer the modern wealthy Asian community, but a more backward poorer judgemental community. For the price you pay for a group of people , you could eat good quality fresh home cooked food in a good quality Indian restaurant.

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

I agree 👍

[@trekabe9745]

Luved the review...so where is this and how much per person🤔

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

Thanks! I paid £65 for 2 people, 2 jugs of drink and a water

[@zarahussain9738]

I was thinking maybe they thought you was press especially with the new name change, heard something happened between the owners. Also you could have just filmed on your phone the food and edited it in.

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

All the food shots are always on my phone. It’s quick and discreet. I like to keep things quick and out of everyone’s way

[@kash6592]

Al Maida for the Chapli kebab, Lamb Chops & fresh donuts. But Merzee is more vast and better all round. The reason why i choose Merzee is that its a better eat in experience, Al Maida is alot more cramp and less enjoyable eat in experience.

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

We are so lucky to have such great options

[@kash6592]

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

Al Maidah is my personal favourite tbh

[@JayA-io7wj]

so will they stop customers uploading on snapchat for example??

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

I imagine if they catch you, but unsure. They’ve never minded before today

[@DKsatojun]

Have you ever tried spice hut? Their doner in Mile End bangs

[@umaraqbal6516]

Another good video bro! Al Maidah seems to be best vfm buffet in Manchester & great quality and variety too. Owners of Nawaab seem to have had business split up probably by Courts with the party getting London given right to keep name! As for trains the West Coast Mainline runs behind Marzee hence plenty of trains passing by! 😊👍

Thanks my bro!

I just wanna know... if a gora/gori was filming - would they react the same? I hate these filming freak-outs in Asian food places, esp when we're already trying to be as discreet and respectful as possible 🥱

[@imranpatel9087]

I just end up having starters and dessert as Mains are poor and bland doesnt justify £25+ at most buffet places.

Their desserts are cheap at nawab. I mean mousse?? Have to say the apple pie and custard was good though. But then again, Al maida give you fresh pancakes and doughnuts.

Family split so separate ventures. Can't use the name Royal Nawaab so had to change it. With all due respect, no one wants a guy with a phone recording food in the buffet. Its actually rude, slow, annoying and not necessary. Wear a gopro or record at the table. Stop moaning, they are right about that.

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

I spend 20-30 seconds MAX recording, I wait till it’s clear and I get no one in it. It’s not rude, it doesn’t affect anyone else. Sit down.

[@akbaslam]

I'm not the one getting told off by the owners.... You sit down and film🤭

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

Well, yes. I did state that was the rule in the video, lol. You’re allowed to show the food when you’re sat down.

[@HEYMANFOODREVIEWS]

The point I was making is your diverting from the issue. NO ONE disagrees with not getting people in the video so stop assuming when you’ve been directing and explicitly told the issue was I can’t show the FOOD in the FOOD CONTAINERS. As stated multiple times in the video I wasn’t getting anyone in lol
