    Falafel
    Angela M.

    We stopped in for a few quick bits after arriving on a late train and before heading to pub quiz. The hostess seated us promptly, only to have the server ask us to move since we were just 3 and had been seated at an area meant to incorporate a larger group. No problem, but tell that to your hostess, not your customers, especially since it's not like we asked for the larger space. We ate primarily from the specials off the chalkboard: Rocket salad with manchego Falafel Bocadillo con jamon iberico Tapenade The rocket salad was a winner, but then again, anything with rocket and manchego is going to be a winner for me. The falafel was on the dry side and pretty flavorless, and definitely not the crispy-outside-fluffy-inside that marks a great falafel in my mind. The bocadillo was mostly bread, though the meat inside was decently savory and fatty to provide some flavor. The tapenade was deliciously briny and a good portion. We probably would've eaten more, but we were already late, and didn't feel particularly welcome with the drama between the hostess and the server.

    Holy crap this is the place to eat in Oxford. Wicked delicious tapas. Lamb, chorizo, cheese, breads....amazing. The price was phenomenal too. If you are ever in Oxford you REALLY want to check out this Moroccan inspired tapas bar. The wait may be long and the service may be slow, but it is well worth given the quality of the meal. I will be seeing this place again soon.

    Wonderful place to grab a drink with friends and unwind after work or to take a special someone for an intimate meal. My friends and I sat in the booth by the bar, where it was a bit livelier, and had a lovey time trying all the different tapas! Pro tip: pair your tapas with the Moroccan Iced Tea - they're dangerously delicious!!!

    Babaganoush, couscous, fish/chorizo, and lamb tapas.

    Kazbar isn't my first choice of Cowley restaurants, but went along for the first time with a friend. Walk in and you're greeted by enthusiastic staff at the bar. This is a Morrocan/Spanish restaurant, so tapas or small plates are the bulk of the menu. The quality was excellent and we received our four dishes quickly. I recommend the lamb or fish dishes. With that said, get ready to holler at your table mate because this is a bar and it is LOUD. A little quieter in the rear of the restaurant. The waitresses we had seem overworked and irritable.

    Excellent tapas especially Carne Picada - spicy lamb with houmous and pine nuts ;) You can relax almost laying on cushions and looking at amazing decorations to move yourself to Spain. Great customer service. Lucy was very competent advicing about wine. 3 course meal with bottle of wine and tip was around £60. Another time I went there for tea £2.5. Even simple mint tea is served like a king's drink. I love this place!

    I love tapas because I'm awful at making up my mind what to choose in a restaurant. This is the…read moreperfect solution - lots of little dishes to share! I went in on a Saturday lunchtime and found the service very efficient without feeling rushed. It was surprisingly quiet, so we forgot about the world around and were able to concentrate on the delicious food. The dishes are in the range of about £3.50 - £5.50 each and they're usually split into 2-3 bits, so can be shared if necessary. I recommend getting bread as well - it's great for soaking up sauces and is nice, soft ciabatta style with tomato sauce to dip it in. Particularly recommended: - deep-fried chicken soaked in garlic - not at all greasy and very tasty - potato with layers of goats cheese, ham and tomato - prawns with scrambled egg and asparagus (much, much taster than it sounds!) The sangria comes with a good amount of fruit in it and at £3 a glass is cheap and plenty enough to last a meal (if you can resist another one, anyway!). All in all a really nice place if you're into tapas and a great introduction if you've never tried it.

    Fantastic! I love this place - a brilliant selection of hot and cold tapas with a range of drinks…read morein a very stylish room. My favourites are the selection of cheese, the garlic prawns and the little ham croquettes. Try a jug of sangria with it - it's very well done here and compliments the food greatly. This is a lovely place, decorated in a way inkeeping with the food and very private. The tables are well spaced, so you don't feel cramped or overheard. I like this place for dates or for a meal with a good mate. Always busy, so best to book it unless you've got time to have a drink at the bar first (which is no bad thing here). Go for a great, relaxed meal on one of Oxford's loveliest streets.

    One of the most iconic pubs in Oxford!…read more The food is okay, the drinks are reasonably priced, but the location is elite. It has that classic Oxford pub atmosphere that makes it worth visiting, especially if you're showing someone around the city or looking for a casual drink in a historic setting. There are outdoor tables, seating inside, and a smaller section in the back. During peak hours, it can get quite packed, so it is not always the easiest place to grab a table, but that also adds to the energy of the place. Overall, I would not necessarily come here expecting the best pub food in Oxford, but for the atmosphere, location, and quintessential Oxford experience, it is absolutely worth a stop.

    It's no surprise this pub is popular considering its location, but the quality of the food, drinks,…read moreand the people-watching make it great in its own right, not just because it's smack dab in the middle of Oxford. We found ourselves coming here again and again, as it was always nearby after a tour, or perfect for killing time before the next event. (in town for a family member's graduation) There's a few outdoor tables, and many little rooms inside with all types of seating options. We were a larger group with children in tow, and kept lucking out with the long table in the first room on the left. It does get rather busy at peak hours, but if you're patient or come at off peak hours, you'll snag a seat just fine. The fish & chips were a standout from all other fish & chips I had that trip. This is an American tourist review, so take that with a grain of salt, but we liked the food and the service was always friendly and quick.

We were seated quickly. The men working were friendly and let us know it might be a moment as they were taking care of a large party ahead of us. We were fine with that as we planned on doing the 2 for £13 cocktails to start, but we appreciated the warning! We both for the French martinis which we loved. The server brought out our small plate quickly and it was filling enough that we were fine to wait on entrees (though it came out rather quickly despite how busy they were). The pad Thai and burger were both great and flavorful. We did one entree and then a deal where we got a 3 course meal for £22. To finish the meal the popcorn chocolate brownie was decadent and I would 10/10 have it again. The vibes were cool and a great way to end the day. Prices were very reasonable as well. I would recommend this as a date night spot as well. Thank you fora fun experience! Glad we stopped by!
