Golden Palms evening buffet menu
The evening buffet is the main attraction. The official website describes more than 80 freshly prepared dishes from South Asian, Italian, Mexican, Chinese and Korean kitchens.
Golden Palms does not publish a fixed dish-by-dish menu, and the selection rotates. The table below combines the official description with launch coverage and guest reports.
| Section | What guests report |
|---|---|
| Starters | Samosas, pakoras (meat, vegetable and fish), bhajis, soup, daal, chutneys, hash browns, spring rolls |
| South Asian mains | Chicken curries, some beef, biryani, vegetable curry, chickpea dish |
| Chinese | Noodles and oriental dishes |
| Italian | Pasta and Italian classics |
| Other world dishes | Mexican and Korean specialities |
| Live cooking | Kebabs, sliders, lamb chops, doner kebab, shawarma |
| Salads and fruit | Global salads and fresh fruit platters |
| Desserts | Sticky toffee pudding with custard, chocolate cake, freshly baked cakes, 20+ ice cream flavours |
An early newspaper review from the Telegraph & Argus noted only one vegetable curry and a chickpea dish at that visit, and said paneer and fish curries would have been welcome. Menus change, so ask staff about vegetarian options on the day.
Reviewers also mention mango lassi alongside the soft drinks.
Golden Palms weekend breakfast and lunch buffet menu
The weekend buffet runs every Saturday and Sunday from 10AM to 2PM. It was soft launched in August 2026 and promoted as a Desi breakfast experience, with a public launch on Saturday 29 August 2026 according to a promotional post.
Coverage of the soft launch described more than 50 dishes mixing British, Middle Eastern and South Asian breakfast food.
| Section | What guests report |
|---|---|
| Breads | Croissants, Turkish breads, flatbreads, fresh parathas, hot puris |
| Eggs | Scrambled, boiled, shakshuka, made-to-order omelettes |
| Hot breakfast | Rashers and sausages |
| South Asian | Nihari, biryani, palak, chole, paya, haleem |
| Sweet station | Fresh waffles and pancakes with raspberry, chocolate and pistachio sauces |
| Light options | Fruit, cold meats, hummus, avocado dips, cereals, toasters |
| Drinks | Juices, tea and coffee, with desi tea highlighted in promotions |
Some of these dishes come from the soft launch menu and a promotional post, so the exact line-up may differ on a given weekend. The official website promises live cooking stations, fresh salads, sides and desserts.
Weekend brunch or evening buffet: which is better value?
Brunch costs £7 less per adult, which is about 24% cheaper than the evening ticket. Child pricing is the same at £15 for ages 5 to 10, so the saving for families comes from the adult tickets and the £5 rate for ages 1 to 4.
The evening buffet has the wider selection according to the official website, including more international cuisines. Brunch suits guests who want a Desi breakfast, omelette and waffle stations, and a lower price.
At £29 for more than 80 dishes, the evening ticket works out to roughly 36p or less per dish.

Golden Palms drinks and what is included

The coffee shop sells a wider range of drinks separately, including freshly brewed coffee, authentic chai, matcha and signature mocktails. Launch coverage described the mocktails as alcohol-free.
Golden Palms coffee shop menu and hours
Golden Palms is a three-in-one venue, so the coffee shop is open beyond buffet hours. The food menu is served from 9AM to 3PM, and drinks and desserts are available from opening until 10PM.
The menu includes freshly prepared food, coffees, speciality drinks and desserts. The official site lists pastries, cakes and street-style savoury bites. It publishes the coffee shop menu as images, so individual item prices could not be extracted as text for this article.
The site also warns that menus and availability may vary, so check the latest menu photos before you visit.

Is there a Golden Palms in Manchester or anywhere else?
A website at goldenpalms.uk claims Bradford and Manchester branches and shows an à la carte menu with different addresses. It does not match the official site that Visit Bradford links to, and no Manchester buffet could be confirmed. Treat that site with caution and use goldenpalms.co.uk.
Several unrelated businesses share similar names, including Golden Palms B&B in the Bahamas, Golden Palm Resort in the Philippines, The Palm buffet in Oldham and the A.Y.C.E. Buffet at the Palms in Las Vegas. Their prices and menus have nothing to do with the Bradford restaurant.
