This is a really late review--many apologies about that. I was going through the drafts of my…read morereviews and realised this one went unpublished. Of course, now there's a lockdown, but this is before all that. Westgate Street Food Social is a spacious area with a variety of food options, places to sit, and pretty good wifi. The space is nice for university students to work, and my friend and I went there a couple times. However, you always have to have some food, or you'll be chased out. It seems silly to me that this is the case, seeing as every time I've visited, it's been empty. Anyway, it's a pretty nice place--but perhaps needs to be more lenient on visitors!

For me its the best location and very convinient as its on the same Road as my Computer Repairs shop. The restaurant is well designed with good seating, lighting and ambience is very comfortable. The staff including chefs and manager are all very hospitable and friendly. I particularly like the Chicken Shawarama sandwich with chips and salad which is always fresh, tender and delicious. The lunchtime menu (happy hour) offer is extremely good value. My favourite (so far) is chicken and lamb Shawarama with chips or rice together with salad and fresh humus on a large plate for £6.50 .. absolutely delicious! I have visited and encouraged family and friends and so far they all love it ... 5 Star all the way! Best wishes to all. Javed MIRAJ Computers, 123 London Street , Reading.

When it comes to Lebanese in Oxford, I used to be a devotee of Al-Shami in Jericho. But I recently…read morewent to this place and many of the dishes were just as good. The venue is a lot less impressive, but genuinely cosy and a nice atmosphere. Like any tapas or mezze-style place, the bill can soon get out of hand if you order too many dishes. But the service is decent and will help you make smart selections. Unfortunately I don't rate their Lebanese wine, however...

They provided us with a seven course meal for all of us. It was sharing and was a really fun way to spend the evening.

She actually said that their falafels were better than Zaki Kabob in Berkeley which Ryan S. couldn't believe because to him ZK is "God of Kabobs." You get a complimentary platter of whole and chopped vegetables. Interesting presentation as it came with a whole green bell pepper, a whole tomato, radishes, and cut up carrots and pickled something or other. The falafels were good but not solid. The chicken kabob was moist on the inside, dry on the outside. Stand outs for the meal were the feta cheese and spinach spanikopita-like appetizers and baklava-like dessert. It is pricey at £50 which translates to $80. Yikes...
