    Just average food quality. Everything was cold curries, starters , pizza etc only you get fresh nan & noodles. Yes hot plates for cold food. Ambience was nice . Going that far paying 20 pound for parking 2 cars and you think is it really worth it. Of course not. We were 8 people paid around £132 no drinks. It's better to go local restaurant and get fresh food with flavour.

    For long I had missed eating at high energy, high intensity kind of a place. Jimmy's is such a great buffet place to get a communal feel of enjoying food. It is not quite a place for candle light enthusiasts :), but if you are keen to feed a family and friends whatever they like, well then bring them here. Be it the Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Thai, or Continental they are after, you can find it all here. A lot of food is cooked live on the stations in front of you adding to the experience. I loved the pizzas and Naans they baked on these stations. So many varieties to try for starters and mains that desserts need a special place to fit in. Service and price is super friendly. Ambience is interesting. Would we be visiting again? You bet!

    It was a good experience, they have a good variety under one roof, staff was nice, tidy and relaxed… Desert section was good too and that chocolate fountain of-course is a beauty…. If i compare with Jimmy World Spice Wimbledon (now closed), it had more food quality and taste….beef curry and beef stake were not good at all…. I would still recommend this place as it is over all a nice and gives variety selection…

    Went with the family. Food was good! Not too much space in between seating when busy You may have to leave your trolley or baby stroller around the entrance. Assessing the Washroom/bathroom is a hike on its own trust me😂😂 Good and helpful staff…tables are cleaned after guests but usually not the floors. The fact is the whole place is a vibe on regular but things change when it’s busy. You have to wait to be assigned a table and this might take a while. Get there earlier if possible and yeah, “eat all you can”

    First time being here with the family, well accommodating customer service is great! The food lovely cooked fresh. Lovely staff behind the counters too. The steak was good, the noodles was lovely great size portions too. The Indian food was ok, but the Chinese section was better. The desserts was small but very filling as it was very flavoursome. The kids section was great too. Chips, chicken also pasta etc. There were several birthday parties and the staff sang happy birthday which was lovely. Drawing up a crowd! Atmosphere was great will definitely be going back. Halal food is served.

    Big all-you-can-eat style buffet restaurant located in the O2 with a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to choose from. I had 3 plates of fish pakoras with a variety of sauces and chutneys, chicken wings, duck and hoisin sauce pancakes, prawn curry, Thai red curry with squid, and spicy fish curry. I enjoyed all the food and my party of 12 also enjoyed what they ate. Service (drinks) was friendly. The only downside is that unfortunately it was really hot in the restaurant to the point that it notably became a less enjoyable experience. I would also recommend going on a weekday as I went on a Tuesday which was relatively quiet but still fairly chaotic. I would imagine it being overwhelmingly busy on a weekend or when there’s an event on at the O2.

    Visited on a Saturday evening with a few friends. We had reserved slots, but was of no use - had to wait for around 15 mins to get in. The place was extremely crowded and the tables were placed very close. Service was cold and staff looked tired. I would definitely not blame them considering they were handling an insane amount of customers in comparison. Drinks were very diluted, most of us felt so! There were plenty of birthday celebrations going on, which was fun. Well go there if you want to just eat and nothing else, Else avoid weekends. Ther are lots of better value and less chaotic places near by in my opinion.

    Our visit was during a fairly quiet lunchtime. The choice for a £15 lunchtime buffet was excellent. Yes, as others have commented, there is a higher percentage of Indian dishes, but we found plenty of Chinese & Mexican and pizza choices too. The salad choices were a particular highlight for us too. I imagine there is a very different atmosphere when busy and it would be quite load, but we'd certainly go again, particularly for the excellent value lunchtime buffet

    The place was very clean, and the food was good (especially the desserts)! But what I liked most about this place was the toilet journey! If o wasn’t for the entertaining signs then it would have been a star knocked off because it was a long way to the toilet! Very smart how they dealt with that!

    My visit to Jimmy's Restaurant was quite disappointing. The cleanliness of the tables and chairs left much to be desired, and the welcoming atmosphere was lacking. Unfortunately, the staff displayed rudeness and indifference when we pointed out the dirty table area. Furthermore, we observed that a significant portion of the food areas were empty, with some food items missing or unavailable. This contributed to a less than satisfying dining experience overall.

    Food was good as there were so many varieties of food. Sweet and sour chicken was hard. I have tried in so many different restaurants but never found them hard like that. This place is always busy. Less grill item. Few of the salad items was getting empty quickly. No parking available because the restaurant is inside the o2 arena.

    I want to give five stars to the food as well but there are too many Choices and some of them are not that great. It is a wonderful place to have food after a busy day or as lunch while roaming around the o2. It appeared to me to more as a Indian fusion food. I recommend any tourist who visits o2 to go here and taste the food. If you like Indian spices you will surely enjoy. Too too many choices of food can be a problem.

    We recently visited The Jimmy's Restaurant at O2 and was blown away by the amazing food and fabulous atmosphere. The concept of unlimited self-serve Indian, Chinese, Mexican, and Italian dishes is truly unique and I loved the variety of options available. The space is beautifully decorated with ethnic art and the ambiance is warm and inviting. The food was mind-blowing and delicious. Every dish was bursting with flavor and the quality was top-notch. I especially loved the Indian dishes, which were perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The Chinese, Mexican, and Italian options were also great and there was something for everyone. Overall, I highly recommend The Jimmy's Restaurant at O2 for anyone looking for a great dining experience. The unlimited self-serve concept is a great way to try a variety of dishes and the food is simply amazing. I can't wait to go back!

    Apart from few things I loved the place. At first, I loved the way the prices are set, it make sense and maintained value for money. I visited during lunchtime on weekdays, number of items were limited, if the price would have been same I would not like that. Still there were a good number of items to browse from. However, custom made products were very limited as the counters were empty most of the time. One of the things were totally unacceptable were they served my Pepsi on a broken glass!! I normally prefer vegetarian options however the offered salad was not of good taste. Most of the items from Indian, Chinese and Japanese cuisine tasted very commercial, didn't feel like restaurant type. The curry and rice were better than others. The dessert section were not very attractive and tasty. Out of all best dishes were Chinese chicken fry, Indian Papadums & chat, Chicken tikka, lamb carry and strawberry cheese cake. Hope you enjoy your meal 😊

    I visited with my work team and it was great experience and delicious food with Indian taste and variety of vegetarian options as well as dessert. So, over all food was mouthwatering. Customer service was also nice and friendly as well as quick response from tha staff. Last but no least is the atmosphere of the restaurant was fabulous. I loved it. It is worth visiting with my team and i recommend to visit to friends and family. It will be great if you book in advance.

    This is a busy place after prior booking also we need to wait for our table. The restaurant was over crowded. Food was good as there were so many varieties of food. Totally surprised with the pizza...it was really good.Really appreciate the live counter's food how they were delivering the food being crowded. You need to pay extra for the drinks it is not included in the buffet price. Special thank you to Simran for the hospitality.

    Hello foodies! Are you hungry and can not decide what to eat?! Or taste different cuisine, but not sure, what you can try?! Well, then this place will save your money, as well as allow you to taste anything you wish! And trust me, when I say this, I mean the everything about this place has a good vibe, I was surprise to eat quite a amount of food, but it was worth it! Also, do try the Indian as well as Chinese cuisine and if you're thinking of going on date, then bring them here and you'll thank me later. 🤩 Till then, take care.

    Food is excellent and very tasty. Loads of different options. Prices are ok, drinks are not included. Have a big variety to choose from and some dishes are made fresh which is good. Desserts and ice cream machine available. Overall great place to go as you can have whatever you like and nobody can be fussy. Very loud and hard to hear as tables are close together. Food regularly gets topped up. Everything is halal which is good apart from the duck. The pizza was delicious and so was the chicken curry and ALL the Chinese selection.

  • 3/5 Paliyah C. 1 month ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    The O2 was quite packed and busy on a Saturday so we're happy Jimmy's were allowing walk-ins. The buffet was around £23 per person which is a decent price. Cocktails were £8 each, but nothing special about them. The whole restaurant in my opinion needs renovating, especially the floor. The area is just dim and grimey... I appreciate the historical painting but things need to brighten up inside and more space as it's so packed and busy and people in your face at every turn is annoying. Food also wasn't that great. Was just meh. Has a lot of potential... The spring rolls and carrot cake was my favourites lol

  • 4/5 khaled s. 3 months ago on Google New
    The place is wonderful. Our first time anc and good experience. All foods were halal, so had a variety of choices. Foods were tasty as well. Fleshly made naan, chowmein, dosa, pizza, steak when you request. Time is only 2 hours from when you get your table. Not enough to try all items. Children under 10 pays half of the adult price. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend the place.

  • 5/5 Shivani D. 8 months ago on Google
    Everything we ate was fresh and delicious except paneer curry. I have been here twice and during the Sundays there are few extra items on the menu like chicken biryani and samosa's which were really good but during week days I felt like not all the varieties were fresh paneer was really stale but the other veg options were good sambar was really good and there's dal tadka too. Overall I had a good experience and it's budget friendly too. Great for parties as there's wide range of food and alcohol too.
