Eating at an open buffet restaurant

Q: What is the ruling on buying from open buffet restaurants, where the customer pays a set amount and eats an unknown amount of food that is not known to the buyer or the purchaser, rather he may eat until he is full?

A: It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
