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.

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.

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?

The environment wasn't great either: there were several bugs flying around our table, including a crane fly.

We started with the papadam with chutney assortment. There was plenty of everything in the assortment, and the papadaum was fresh and crispy.

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.
