Za Za Bazaar Buffet Menu With Prices
Za Za Bazaar charges one fixed price per person, not a price per dish. In 2026 adults pay £14.99 for Monday to Thursday lunch, £16.99 for Friday and Saturday lunch, £20.99 for Monday to Thursday dinner, £22.99 for Friday and Saturday dinner and £20.99 for Sunday brunch (all day). Children aged 5 to 11 pay half price and children aged 4 and under eat free. Za Za Bazaar has one open restaurant, at Harbourside in Bristol.
This guide covers the full dish list by station, student and festive prices, drinks, opening hours, booking, allergens and customer reviews. Every price was checked against the official website, zazabazaar.com, on 29 October 2026.
Za Za Bazaar Buffet Menu Prices Per Person
The official price page lists one entry price per person. That price covers the whole buffet, desserts included. Drinks are bought separately.
| Meal | Adult price |

| Lunch, Friday and Saturday | £16.99 |
| Dinner, Monday to Thursday | £20.99 |

Children’s prices at Za Za Bazaar
| Age | Price |
|---|---|
| 4 years and under | Free |
| 5 to 11 years | Half price |
| Everyone else | Adult price |
A fair usage policy applies: 2 children per full-paying adult. Plan for this if you are bringing a larger family group.
How much more is dinner than lunch?
| Comparison | Extra cost |
|---|---|
| Dinner vs lunch, Mon to Thu | £6.00 |
| Dinner vs lunch, Fri and Sat | £6.00 |
| Fri and Sat vs Mon to Thu, lunch | £2.00 |
| Fri and Sat vs Mon to Thu, dinner | £2.00 |
Za Za Bazaar says more than 200 dishes are available at lunch and more than 300 at dinner. So the £6 step up from lunch to dinner buys roughly 100 extra dishes. Sunday brunch costs the same as Monday to Thursday dinner at £20.99.
Why Za Za Bazaar Does Not List a Price for Each Dish
Za Za Bazaar is a fixed-price buffet. You pay once at entry and then choose as many dishes as you like. There is no separate price for a curry, a pizza slice or a dessert.
Some third-party menu sites print £14.99 beside every dish. That figure is the weekday lunch entry price per person, not the cost of an item.

- Access to the full buffet of salads, starters, mains, sides and desserts
- Live cooking stations where chefs cook dishes to order
- Dishes from five continents of flavour, including India, the Far East, the Caribbean, Tex-Mex, the Americas and Europe

Live Cooking at Za Za Bazaar

Reviewers describe making a fresh dosa, building a burger and torching a crème brûlée at the station. Queues can form at the cooked-to-order stations at busy times.

Allergen Information
The official menus carry a clear allergy warning. Dishes may contain or come into contact with wheat or gluten, milk, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish and soy.
Because of the open kitchen and shared fryer oil, Za Za Bazaar cannot guarantee any dish is free of allergens. Tell the Duty Manager about your allergy when you enter.
A July 2026 reviewer with a prawn allergy said staff brought an allergen list and that dishes are labelled at the stations. The festive menu adds that food and drinks are prepared where nuts are handled.
