Dhaba Beas

Had lunch today with family but to my horror, the samosas and spring rolls were ROTTEN. It was smelling like the potatoes were 2-3 days old and so was the stuffing in spring rolls. When I approached the lady at the counter, she did not cooperate and was very rude. I requested her to connect me with the owner, but she refused. Is it okay for a restaurant to serve rotten food in Prague?

(Visited in February of 2018)After a long day of walking around town, I initially just wanted to head to my hostel and chill for a bit before searching out dinner, but then I realised that that would probably require more work than just stopping by whilst in the area, so I walked back the block I'd passed whilst making up my mind and popped in.Being a buffet-style, pay-by-weight kind of eatery, you'd think the concept would be pretty straightforward: get a metal tray, fill as you desire, weigh, pay, happy day. It is, really, but only if you either know Czech or had read (and, crucially, remembered!) the reviews online beforehand and knew that you're not meant to put the soups in the tray itself, as they're measured by bowl size instead. My luck being what it is, I recalled this just before going to pay, which allowed me to spare myself an awkward encounter by (very awkwardly) ladling the soup into a bowl and covering up the rest with something else. (Phew.)Once you've paid your delightfully cheap sum and are seated, though, you'll find that everything is great, if not predictably a wee bit on the tame side spice-wise (I'm from southern Texas, so your mileage may indeed vary). Plus there's a jug of free water on every table - a welcome sight after having spent the day fruitlessly searching the city for a water fountain to fill up your bottle (and having had to pay for some at a restaurant the night before where your meal was 2.5x the price).Overall, I was well pleased with my experience and would love to see a chain like this venture out into other European cities (looking at you, Vienna!).Pros: Only YOU can decide what & how much you eat; great value; free water; gotta' love those metal trays and cups!Cons: No English to be seen (could also definitely be a pro, now that I think about it, but the rules aren't clear unless you can read Czech - maybe some clever pictographs would help here)

We liked the concept and wanted something quick and vegetarian. The food was actually quite tasty and there was a good choice. However, none of it was hot enough, not helped by the metal trays being cold.

This place is so good. Everything is vegetarian and you have a perfect sized buffet with a lot of different dishes. Would recommend 10/10

It’s really tasty. Would be nice if they accepted ISICs. With 30kč/100g you can get to a more expensive lunch than you’d have at other restaurants with daily menus.

A really good surprise ! I'm not vegan but even if you are a fan of meat, you will really enjoy eat there ! The main reason is because it will offer you many different tastes and unique meal ! And also because the price is very low ! You can eat for one person for only 3€ ! Definitely recommend this place !

Delicious vege food, good price.This is a simple self service diner, no classy restaurant. All vegetarian options, no butter chicken!!! But hey, it's Indian, right? VERY tasty curries, noodles, rice, burgers, condiments . Your meal is weighed to calculate the price, at just 27.90 Kč/100g. Meaning I was full for 6 €.NB they don't sell beer but I assume you can BYO.

I absolutely love this place. Fresh vegan and vegetarian food. I especially like that I can make salads with sprouts. But be warned, this particular Dhaba Beas gets really busy around 1 pm (13:00).

Vegetarian and vegan buffet. Nice prices and tasty food. Great deal if you come after 8pm since you have 40% discount.
