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!

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.

Dishoom pays homage to the food of Bombay, and I was thrilled that they serve such a large and extensive breakfast menu! The restaurant is huge and beautiful - with lots of art deco touches! The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant just had great vibes - even the smell of the place (incense mixing with their delicious food) was great. I had their Kejriwal (two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast - "a modern favourite of the Willingdon Club in Tardeo, reputedly named for the member who kept asking for the dish, since he was not allowed eggs at home"), which was delicious. My husband had their bacon & egg naan roll with a side of masala beans, which he loved (he's even been trying to recreate the beans at home since we got back from London). With a large menu of other options and tons of beverage options (from alcoholic brunch options to chai to iced coffee), they have everything you could want for a great breakfast. We had a great breakfast at this Kensington location of Dishoom. I'd happily return to one of their other locations and have any meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

I was visiting my brother in Oxford and we decided to come here for a family dinner. I'm used to American portions and seating so by comparison to American standards- the portions are rather small and the seating inside is pretty small- but nonetheless it's still a good place to come for dinner. We had a few different items that we all wanted to try, butter chicken, chicken tikka, both plain and garlic naan and some appetizers. The waiter tried helping us with our order to make it what we were expecting and asked about our spice tolerance as well. This was my first time trying 'poppadum' which was a fun appetizer, I highly suggest trying it if you haven't had it before. The food didn't take too long to come and the flavors were spot on!

The flavors were a bit different from what we get in the U.S., but overall, excellent. However, the naan was substantially below par. It was cold, not at all what I am accustomed to being served. It was shaped almost perfectly, like the naan one can buy at the grocers. It was a bit dry, and had some blue spots on it that could have been mold. It really gave me pause about ever eating here again. Maybe I'd give it another try - but I'd skip the naan. Service was very good.

We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai.

I've had better roti in Malaysia and in the US lol Garlic naan (5.5): we ultimately got this because we didn't like the roti, but this also the garlic flavor was not shining through Other recommended dishes: chicken berry britannia with raita, charred lamb chops, murgh malai, okra fries Tip: you have to buy the rice, naan etc separately. Also heads up there's a 12.5% service charge.

Since we typically eat chicken tikka masala he recommend the Bhuna. He also added another dish just in case it was too spicy for my Mum.

Whenever I come, it seems pretty crowded, and sometimes it takes quite a bit of waiting before you get your food. This is a really big McDonald's--there's an upstairs seating area with a lot of space. If you needed to, you could get work done there as there are power outlets. As with all other locations, this McDonald's offers cheap prices, unhealthy food, and a lot of deals. However, the service leaves a bit to be wanted. Staff is rude and the phrase customer service doesn't exist here. On my last visit, I noticed the staff arguing with a customer over dipping sauce. I'm not entirely sure what was going on, but it seemed like the customer wanted the sauce and staff were refusing. Anyway, like I said--typical McDonald's. It's the only one in the area, so despite its mediocrity, I would go back when the craving arises.

The Cornmarket Street branch is trying to be sophisticated: it knows it's a cut above kebab vans, but it has a long way to go to reach Starbucks. Neveretheless, you do see people doing academic work and having business lunches in here and they particularly advertise the breakfasts and coffees. Sophisticated it ain't, but it's a little less patronising than some branches. Service is quick once you're at the front of the queue; it definitely lives up to its fast food reputation. That said, you can end up waiting a long time to get to the front if it's busy. The atmosphere is the same as in most MaccyDs: loud, quite crowded and not exactly homely. This branch is pretty clean, but that comes at the cost of having people frequently mopping around you. In case you're not familiar with Mcdonalds nowadays, they've tried to go healthy, so alongside the usual Big Macs and (now unsalted) fries, you can now get wraps, salads and fruit. It's hardly going to improve your health, but at least they're making a step in the right direction, showing the health content of their food and at least providing an alternative for reluctant customers or cheap food addicts.
