Buddy's Fast Food (Vegetarian Restaurant)

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 Burger deserves 10 stars. Jumbo Frankie wrap was filling, and very tasty and mouth watering. Manchurian tasted authentic, but they were too dry from inside, it should soak some gravy at least. Hakka noodles were not good (too much ginger), and not really the street style noodles from india. Update 4...
