About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
  • Healthy
In the 12th century, nomadic tribes of Mongol hordes invaded and conquered most of Northern Asia and Eastern Europe under Genghis Khan. Stopping each night to make camp, they would place their upturned shields over their camp fires and cook their meat with wooden sticks….And so the concept of The Mongolian Barbeque was born!!
Ok, that’s the history lesson over. One question people ask us a lot is ‘Do I need to be able to cook to eat here?’ And the answer is no! All you do is grab a bowl and choose your ingredients from our selection of meat, seafood, vegetables, tofu and noodles. You pick what you like! Then season with spices, herbs and sauces.
It’s a fun and unique way to eat and is also very healthy as we try to use as little oil as possible when stir frying. We have allergy information for our spices and sauces, so if you have an allergy, or if you are vegetarian, just let your server know, and we can cook your food separately in a wok, instead of on the grill.

    I went to Mongolian BBQ for dinner with friend and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish—beginning with the service at the reception. You serve yourself and take your food to the chef to cook, and you can watch the preparation. The atmosphere is good. My friend and I loved the experience.

    While It has been a while I had been here - it is exactly what it says on the tin- There is no glamour in it and it is certainly not for those who have allergies but if you are hungry and need to refuel it does the job

    The whole concept is brilliant - you can have exactly what you want avoiding all the difficulties of what things people do and don’t like. As is cooked in front of you and passed straight to you it is always hot and fresh. Good value and well worth a visit

    A great location, lovely staff and a different experience where you build your own dinner and it is cooked for you. Noodles, lots veg and meats, spices and sauces. Very reasonable too.

    The venue has seen better days. Everything felt dirty, grimey, and old. The hotplate the food is cooked on looked like it hadn't been cleaned for years. The raw food presentation wasn't very appealing. But the staff were very welcoming.
