For those of you Oxford dwellers, you don't know how lucky you are. You should grasp the opportunity and try his food, my friends. I wouldn't presume to know if the dear Chef had served us authentic Turkish cuisine or not, but I must tell you, authentic or not, it tastes wonderful. Once you've had his food, it will be hard for you to not miss it. For the days to come, I shall await with alacrity our next visit to Oxford, and most definitely, to Oxford's Grill. Teşekkür ederim!

We started with the papadam with chutney assortment. There was plenty of everything in the assortment, and the papadaum was fresh and crispy. When it came time to order, everything sounded so delicious, and I was amused at how things seemed to be spelled slighlty differently than in the US. I decided on Lamb tikka masala, while Jimmy got the Chicken Korai spicy. We also got rice and naan for each of us. The food was delicious. The sauces were rich and flavorful. The meat was tender, not dry. The naan was slightly crunchy on the bottom and fluffy on top, just the way I love it. The portions were generous. We definitely could have been full from half as much food. Service was great, making sure that our water glasses were filled (perhaps they were worried about Jimmy ordering spicy food) and always checking that we had everything we needed.

yummy food, friendly staff, great service. I am so happy to have found this restaurant.read more

From the folks that brought you the Handle Bar downtown, this is sure to be your favorite neighborhood cafe. The space is cozy and charming and the food is delicious. The menu might not seem long, but it has everything you could want - sweet, savory, full, light. The ingredients are locally sourced. The coffee smells great. The baked goods look amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my poached eggs with kale and hollandaise. The eggs were perfectly poached, the kale nice and soft, and hollandaise mustardy to add tang to the creaminess of the egg yolk. Jane had poached eggs with smoked salmon, and Oli had the Full House with extra mushrooms instead of tomatoes. There was also a side of beetroot hummus that was a tasty as its rich pink color was inviting. Nothing but happy tongues and tummies around the table. I look forward to visiting again when I'm in Oxford this summer!
