http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29841 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29841 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29834 What makes Tibits special is the fact it’s a buffet. This means the variety of dishes you can have on your plate is much wider than in your average restaurant. The food is incredibly fresh and colourful, making it hard not to overload. Curries, salads, stir fries, grains, pulses, seeds, steamed and fried vegetables, pasta, tofu and cheese are all present, but the abundance of choice doesn’t mean for a second that the quality is compromised. Since it’s all good, wholesome stuff, I usually decide that it’s OK to indulge myself a bit.
My plate piled high, I go to the till to have my dinner weighed and pick up my free bread roll. It usually comes to about £8. It’s the same procedure again with desserts – although my quirky dad likes to put his on the same plate as his main to save time (he doesn’t mind at all if his soya yoghurt runs into his lentil dahl).
The drinks are OK value considering you’re in the centre of town. I usually wash it all down with one of their posh herb teas.
Despite the buffet set-up, Tibits maintains the relaxed feel of a normal restaurant thanks to an attractive décor and unobtrusive lighting and music. It’s very spacious, and there are toys in the downstairs bit for the children.
The staff, mostly young and European, seem happy in their work and are helpful and smart.
Overall, Tibits is a relaxed and classy joint where you really will enjoy your food.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29834 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29783 I arrived feeling delicate the afternoon after a big night out, and a couple of hours of its relaxed vibe and a few pints of yummy stuff sure did set me straight again, no problem.
Foodwise, I was most impressed to hear they offer a veggie scotch egg with a lentil batter instead of pork, as well as other meaty stuff.

This is the type of pub everyone wishes they had around the corner.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29783 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29707 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29707 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22794 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22794 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20216 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20216 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15433 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15433 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12827
The food is authentic and tastes home-made. Every time I feel home sick, I head to Oxford Circus. A little shopping followed by a delicious hot meal is the cure for my blues!

Try the buffet (different prices depending on whether you choose dessert or not). I love the 'Mango Lassi' as a refreshing drink on a hot summers day.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12816 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12816 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12808 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12808 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12784 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12784 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9062 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9062 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8999 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8999 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8830 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8830 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8820 They do 6ft dosas! Try their Chilli fried idli with lemon rice - my favourite. The food is spicy but really tasty - and it is cheap cheap cheap. All dishes are fabulous. It’s a veggie restaurant and 100 yards down they have a non-veggie one. The veggie one is better - and this from a confirmed carnivore. Service is average but the food more than makes up for it. Feels like you are actually eating in India. Enjoy!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8820 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3739
All of their food is vegetarian and is fantastic - and this is coming from a committed carnivore.

It is also very good value, with prices much cheaper than Starbucks and other chains that are also to be found in Greenwich.

In addition to all of this it is in a wonderful part of Greenwich. I recommend going for a walk round Royal Hill and up towards Black Heath, you can stop off here for a nice drink on the way back.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3739 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3371 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3371 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3331 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3331 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/985 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/985 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/893 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/893
