Reliable vegetarian buffet in Oerlikon with wide variety and lively vibe; good quality but pricing and noise can frustrate some diners.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
tibits delivers reliable vegetarian dining with solid food quality and efficient buffet service, but inconsistent execution—particularly lukewarm drinks and occasional stale items—prevents a higher grade. Tight seating at peak hours and pricing concerns for self-service further limit appeal, though the convenient Oerlikon location and broad vegetarian variety make it a worthwhile neighborhood choice for plant-based diners seeking casual, approachable international flavors.
Restaurant Summary
Set just off Oerlikon station, tibits hums with a lively, casual energy: trays clink, the buffet gleams, and staff often help newcomers navigate the pay-by-weight setup. One diner put it simply: "A safe veggie choice with lots to try." Expect a crowd at prime times and, at times, noticeable noise. The cooking leans global and approachable—think comforting international flavors like satay udon, paneer with Kerala spices, and a cashew-rich curry. It suits diners who like to build plates and taste widely rather than sit for a formal course progression. Quality is generally solid, though a few guests mention lukewarm coffees or a dish or two that felt past its peak. Families will appreciate the kids corner and easy wins like muesli, breads, fruit, and mild pastas; however, peak-hour crowds make stroller navigation tricky. If visiting with little ones, aim for off-peak times to avoid the squeeze and secure seating.
