This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
Popular with parties, Khublai Khan takes a suitably nomadic approach to food. Diners turn hunter-gatherer as they fill bowls with rice, noodles, vegetables and meat or fish before adding spice and sauce according to the recipes on the wall or their own adventurous tastes. The jokily-named recipes (Bobby’s Bum Buster, anyone?) are largely Indian and Chinese influenced with barbecue sauce enriching the mix. Part of Khublai Khan’s appeal lies in the novelty meats on offer – zebra, camel, wild boar and kangaroo for example. Selection made, the bowl is then left by the hotplate to be cooked teppanyaki-style by chefs wielding what look like large sabres. The full feast is good value at £20.95 (£22.95 on Saturdays), and includes as many return trips to the grill as you can manage, as well as a starter and dessert. However, queues can form at busy times and dishes take up to 20 minutes to be cooked, so it’s worth checking first for quieter times.
- High point: Great fun for large groups
- Low point: Can all taste a bit samey if you're not careful
Xmas Festive Menu running throughout December - Check the website for more details.

IF YOU LIKE QUEING UP LIKE SCHOOL DINNERS, FAIR ENOUGH, BUT NOT FOR ME! NO ASSISTANCE ON HAND, AND MY DISH HAD BEEN TAMPERED WITH! NO ATMOSPHERE, NO MUSIC AND VERY COLD!
NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'LL NOT BE BACK!!

This place provided a good value Christmas lunch. However, the whole idea is a bit of a novelty and it soon wears off. I doubt if I'll be rushing back again.
