Answer 1

Those <0> tags are there because you are embedding an array into 'restaurants'. Instead of that, try to name every restaurant as an object array:

...

response.send(xml({restaurants:[
    name_of_restaurants.map(function(r){
        return { restaurant_name? :
            [ 
                { Buf_Type_Id: r.Buf_Type_Id },
                { Buf_Type_Name: r.Buf_Type_Name }
            ]
    })
]}));

...

Answer 2

So I've looked around for a better object-to-XML mapper for you. I tried three before I found one that I liked (it's easy-to-use, and it makes sense for your application). Ditch the old one, and use object-to-xml instead:

var o2x = require('object-to-xml');

response.set('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
response.send(o2x({
    '?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?' : null,
    restaurants: {
        restaurant: name_of_restaurants
    }
}));
