The food is generous in portations and well priced. But the greatest thing about the place is the sunday evening all you can eat buffet for 8 pounds.

The menu is pretty standard as such restaraunts go, though their lunchtime menu is definitely worth checking out and is good value for money.

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!

I love Pakistani food, and so am quite picky about the places I eat, and I love this restaurant…read more Considerably cheaper than a lot of competitors they cook their food in a glass encased kitchen so that customers can see just what is going on. They have a large selection of foods on their menu, from the mild to insanely spicy. Their kebabs are also fantastic, as is their naan. If you're in need of mild go for the korma dishes, the others tend to get progressively spicy. Service is quick and friendly. Unfortunately they don't do deliveries, so you have to pick up in a neighborhood that isn't all that conducive to driving. They do cater for large parties and have a rather large eat in section. There are also special deals for those who eat in.

The food is always fresh - in fact you can watch them cook it if you so desire - and the naan bread is absolutely fantastic (always the acid test of a good Asian restaurant, I think).

Not only can you eat well in Kidlington but you never have any problem parking. The food was great and the service was very friendly. There were a few other people eating as well and they were obviously regulars as they were asking after the owner. Our waiter was very apologetic about the length of time it took for our order to appear - we hadn't actually noticed a delay - he said it was because the owner was away for a week so they had one less member of staff. They are obviously used to providing a very speedy service - perhaps because of all the takeaways they do. Whilst we were there one member of staff was continually busy on the phone taking orders. Their takeaways are obviously very popular and they deliver to quite a wide area. None of this interfered with our enjoyment of our meal. It just gave it a nice neighbourhood feel. The food is Bangladshi / Indian.

The service was great from the start - easy to order online. Prices seemed a little too cheap to be honest - cannot believe the value for money! We phoned to confirm delivery and they said they'd call us back when it was about 5 mins away (which they did) so that we could walk over to collect. Friendly staff, used our name which added to the personal feel, and the food wasn't sat in a bag waiting when we arrived - they asked the kitchen to prepare it in a bag from the hot plates which meant it was still very hot when we got home. We had onion bhajis, pilau rice, saag aloo, peshwari naan, lamb passanda, and lamb rogan Josh. All the food was excellent with delicious meat and vegetables in the curries. The naan was packed with flavour. Nothing was greasy or over-salted. Some of the best Bangladeshi/South Asian food we've had in a long time, and nice to support a local business - particularly right now. Highly recommended and we will be going back for dine-in once restaurants open.

Their vegetarian selection is superb and it must definitely be one of the best Indian restaurants in the north of Oxford, maybe even in the whole of Oxford. I haven't given it 5 stars because the service, though good, is a little aloof (though the Manager is very courteous), but this is just a minor issue given the superlative quality of their food.

I didn't like that our server tried to upcharge us for everything, e.g. asking if we wanted papadam as soon as we sat down, without mentioning that it wasn't complimentary (he also brought and charged us for the accompanying dips without asking). The environment wasn't great either: there were several bugs flying around our table, including a crane fly. When we left, they asked for a TripAdvisor review; I guess this is why they have so many reviews and such a high rating on that website.
