You can smell the delicious food as soon as you enter. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We had four different main dishes to share. We chose one butter chicken, the lamb, beef, and vegetarian peas and mushrooms. The sauces are freshly made, and totally distinct from one another. The garlic naan was fantastic with actual chunks of garlic on the exterior. The food was beautifully prepared and served. The service was great. It was mid week and they were not super busy, but the servers were attentive yet not hovering. Drinks were refilled properly, menu suggestions were totally on point, and the food came out coursed as needed. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Ask for dish suggestions, and enjoy!

It is not quite a "100 Foot Journey", but it is an interesting combination of excellent Indian, some Thai, a great bar, a charming host, thoughtful servers, Movenpick ice cream, 1oo% fresh ingredients in everything and some standard English deserts mixed with their own creatons from India. We started with six beautifully fried Asian fish cakes with a mildly spicy/sweet dipping sauce and then had a big, thick salmon steak with a reduction of soy, miso, chilli, spring onions and ginger. It worked so beautifully that I gobbled 1/4 of my companion's fish.I wanted the Korma which was a rich blend of vegetables, heavy cream, coconut milk, almond, and yoghurt served with a light pilaf. Our desert was Gulab Jamun (milk solids from freshly curdled milk and rich rich rich vanilla ice cream dotted with a fruit sauc and mint. They had my favorite sparkling water, Badoit, which is something I always have trouble finding. All this with a beautiful decor to boot, puts them on my list.

We've tried various curries and sides from here, including the korma, butter chicken, rogan, jalfrazi, biryani, veggie curry, sag aloo, and a few different naans. No complaints about any of the flavours with these curries! Their peshwari naan is packed with coconut and sultanas and goes really well with the more mild curries. They usually give us extra papadoms when we order them too. For takeaway, I'd recommend booking online if you want to eat early as they are often very busy at opening. We will continuing being regulars here!

And old pub converted into this fabulous Indian restaurant and takeaway. A full car park which is always a good sign, diners packed into the dining room noshing away at bowls of golden curry, fluffy rice and fresh crisp naan breads. There where four of us and we had booked because quite honestly you have to. I'd be very surprised if you got a table if you'd just walked in off the street. Again another very good sign. We where greeted by a friendly member of staff and shown to our table. Drinks orders where taken and poppadoms brought to the table. The pickles that accompanied the poppadoms where delicious. Not too sure if they where made in house or not I'm guessing not, but either way they tasted good. We did have starters and with quite an extensive collection there is a lot to choose from. I had the king prawn butterfly. A deliciously perfectly cooked king prawn fried in golden breadcrumbs and served with a small side salad. For the curry then, I had a lamb rogan josh. Quite a mild dish with only a little spice added. To accompany that I had a keema rice and a couple of chapattis. The rice dish is enough for two to share as the curry itself is quite filling. But it was a lovely accompaniment. Not too overpowering with the spiced meat and not too overloaded with onion they got the balance just right. The rogan josh was delightful. It's the first time I've had it and I was impressed. Delicately flavoured and packed with tomato and onion. The sauce was really tasty there just wasn't enough of it to dip the bread in. The meat itself was nice a little tough for my liking but still very nice. The chapattis where beautifully cooked, fresh and hot strait out of the tandoor they where perfect. Not too small you think what's the point. And not too bit you think what am I going to do with this? The meal was finished off nicely with complimentary liquors. We decided not to go for dessert because we'd had such a good meal there was no more room. The service in this restaurant is very good. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful. They are only to happy to recommend a dish to you especially if you a first time curry eater. The restaurant itself is very contemporary, spacious and inviting. I'd highly recommend this place to any curry lover or someone who wants to go to a curry house for the first time. I shall definitely be going back in the not to distant future.

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!

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!
