I loved the lentils with the nan! The sauces they gave were very lovely paired with everything. Service: Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable with the menu. We told her it is our first time and she broke down the menu items for us! Very sweet of her to do so. Overall: I would recommend this place to other people and possibly come back in the future when I revisit London! Food was pretty high quality and so were the people working there. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious too!

Saturday evening and we decided to go to an Indian. With the power of Yelp search we found a local…read moreone that we hadn't tried before. I called ahead to see if they had availability and they were lovely and polite over the phone and told us to come on down. We walked in, not too busy, and picked a table. I liked the fact that just because there were only two of us they didn't restrict us to a two seated table and we sat at a four by the window. They took our drinks order straight away and gave us poppadoms and dips. We looked through a comprehensive menu and made our choices. The boyff wanted a lamb chop for starter - random I know - and we ordered the mains too. The lamb chop was cooked beautifully and was a decent chop of good quality lamb. Mains came out.... I had chicken tikka balti, which was lovely, I was surprised just how much chicken there was in the dish! It was cooked to an excellent standard and had lots of flavours running through it. The boyff had lamb jalfrazzi and he said it was excellent! He didn't talk the whole way though and was just nodding and mmmmn'ing! We had some Bombay potatoes as a side and they were delicious! I nearly ordered some just to take home with me. When we had finished, we asked for the bill, we were served fresh orange slices to cleanse our mouths with (obviously I ate them like you used to as a child and found it highly amusing), and some warm wipes. We paid and were bought the typical after dinner mint chocolate squares. The waiter chatted to us for a little bit and was so friendly, without being over bearing. We left, with the waiter getting the door and full tummies! I will definitely be going back here. Very good standard of food and great service. A top shout if you want Indian out, without paying through the most for pretentious contemporary Indian food that you get at other restaurants.

5 of us ate at the Akash on Saturday night and whilst the food was pretty tasty the decor and the…read moreservice leaves a lot to be desired. From the outside it looks quite promising, but inside the look is tired, pink and in need of a lift. The bar area at the back is very small and the toilets are not hidden so you come out practically into someone's table! We booked ahead, but they had no record of that and then made us stand whilst they slowly set up a table. Slow to brink us the drinks menu, the table for 5 was too small to accomodate everything that we ordered. To be fair enough, when we did order the food was excellent. Lots of choice, spicy and flavour some and the Kingfisher on tap went down nicely. I don't think I'd visit again - more likely to use as a take out.

The ones in America have a thick crunchy exterior and lots of veggie filling served with a nice Tamarind sauce. They did not offer Tamarind sauce ( brown sauce ). Odd enough the tamarind sauce that I have tried here from the grocers ( Morrison's ) was a bit vinegary. Perhaps that's how it is made here. I also had tried the Chicken Tikka Masala. That was also different here in the England. It seems it is made with a sweet sauce. I've tried several Indian restaurants and the Tikka Masala sauce all seem to be based on a sweet sauce. In America it's not sweet. It has a tomato, green pepper, basil and cream flavor. The Garlic Naan was alight. I would had preferred it to be more warm and crispier. The service was good. So was the ambiance. Because the food here is differently prepared from what I am used to, I think a fair rating would be 3 out of 5 based on service, ambiance and portions. If the above recipes are standard to you then feel free to add another star.

Been coming here off and on for roughly the last year and although I've wanted to drop a review, I've wanted to try a few other spots in the area. I can happily report this is by far the best. The food. It features all the best and most popular dishes. Really creamy Kormas, vibrent Bhuna and a punchy but tasty Vindaloo. Personal favourite is the tandoori chicken. It's a HUGE portion and just has a spice blend rub that I'm sure I won't find anywhere else. The poppadoms on entry and massive, crispy and more-ish. But this place has the naan bread down! It's fluffy, chewy and soaks up all the goodness we all know and love. Yes the food is good here but it's really winning point is the service. The staff are like your best friends, welcoming accommodating and will bend over backwards for you. A couple of visits ago I went with a friend who ordered strongbow cider. They didn't have it on the menu, so they run out quickly (whilst giving us free poppadoms to apologise) and came back with a heap of strongbow just for them. Amazing, and in sure you won't get that elsewhere. Price, food and service are all on point here and it's also very close to a heap of pubs for those pre (or post) curry beers. Poifect!!

We found out at the end of our meal that one of the other tables was also from our hotel, a mile walk away. Overall, I think a simple menu done well. We got everything they recommended including the recommended beer from the table next to us. Plain Papadum & Chutney Tray - A must try! Suggestion, these two items should be together on your menu to avoid any confusion on pricing. The sauces also went well with our entree and naan. Tandoori Mix Grill - Good, perfect amount for both of us. As mentioned previously, we are light eaters, especially when traveling. This entree also came with a very light simple salad. Garlic Naan - I can eat this all day! This could even be my meal. After Dinner Chocolates - A nice unexpected touch. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Bathrooms need some TLC, but are functional. Indoor/outdoor dining; everyone ate indoors today. Open 7 days a week. Service - Good, had all 3 wait staff help us. This kind of confused us. They were good at upselling, but all 3 team members tried to upsell us. Not in a bad way, but it kept me laughing. I am a light eater, especially when traveling. They all made light small talk which was nice. It was obvious that everyone eating here was NOT local. They also have online promotions, see their website. Price - 28 pounds + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success, I am so glad that you can benefit from Yelp. See you on our next visit as we were so happy with our hotel we plan to stay there again.

It was more restaurant standard that got delivered rather than typical standard of a delivery if that makes sense?! The food arrived quickly and was really hot, so must have been literally straight from the pan into the containers. The chicken tikka balti was divine and I carried on eating it well past being full up. The naan breads are yummy and that is in every variety that they do. Light and fluffy and if you go for a flavoured one you can actually tell straight away which one it is as they are flavoured really well. The madras and Korma were also of an excellent standard. So, this will remain in the top selection of places that we order from and just remembering what it was like the last time as I write this review, I am thinking that I might just well order one again tonight :)

I let Jane and Oli do most of the ordering, since they are regulars and not everything translates into American English and English English the same way. We started with papadum and relish tray, and a couple of Kingfishers (on draft). For the table we ordered pillau rice, naan (2 kinds, but can't remember which 2), and saag paneer. I chose the Hozor Ki Pasandwalla Murghi because I wanted to try to pronounce it, and it's one of Oli's favorites. It's thinner sauce with nice heat and a good amount of peppers, onions, and tomatoes. He chose the Chicken Laknavi, and Jane chose the Chicken Pasanda. Everything was nicely spiced - heat but still flavor. Portions were generous - we probably only needed half as much, but we couldn't resist all the flavors. We were treated to a drink afterwards with our bill, and Bailey's was a perfect digestif with the chocolate. On our way out, we were given a 2019 calendar as a holiday present. I'm looking forward to another delicious and friendly meal when I'm back in Oxford!
