I give the Ponderosa four stars because it delivers what it promises - a clean and varied buffet, a high standard of grilled entrees, quick service. It is not fine dining. It is what it is, and it does what it does to the expected standard.

The Ponderosa Buffet is the Ponderosa Buffet. It has some American salads, some Arabic salads, and a taco bar, and a dessert bar and a soft ice-cream machine. It was all very very clean and well presented.

When my steak came and I bit into it – it was truly amazing – medium rare! Do you know how hard it is to find a true medium-rare in this part of the world?

My husband said his fish was very lightly battered and very hot and fresh tasting.
