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 food is delicious and prices are in line with other Indian restaurants in the area. Parking is a bit limited though. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars from me though is the wait time. Every time I've been there has been a substantial wait for food as the restaurant also runs a take away service which I think compromises the efficiency of the restaurant.

It took us about 25…read moreminutes in particularly crowded traffic to get there, but our orders were ready just as we arrived for us picking them up. Impeccable timing! I thought the food was exceptionally good. We had chicken curry, salmon & vegetables and another chicken dish which I can't remember what was called for the main course. We also had a couple of types of naan and some papadum (my first experience), or crunchy thin fried breads (they were very tasty). We had a great take-out experience for sure. If I lived in the area, this definitely would be our go-to Indian restaurant for sure. It was that good.

The servers were incredibly amazing, the place was neat and tidy, and the food was the best part! It was the best I had! Back home we had average Indian restaurants but I thought that we had the best, and well Oxford has the best, making our Indian places back home are not as good so now that we had our food, I told them that I would leave the best review ever in the history of that place and well I don't know if it is or not. And did I not mention the area of the restaurant, a neat little pub right next to the place. And here are some recommendations for me for starters? Popadoms, main course? Chicken curry, for dessert? Masala tea (a go to for me) and ice cream (choose vanilla if you are a acceptable person if you have a good appetite like me than you would like to choose Swiss chocolate big hit for me)

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.

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.
