Ben Solomon We had a fantastic valentines evening at The Manor in Garsington and the steak was outstanding. Cooked perfectly to order, beautifully seasoned, and incredibly tender – easily one of the best we’ve had, The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A great and enjoyable dining experience we’ll definitely be returning.

Axel Ceha We visited Taberu in January and had a wonderful experience. The ramen was absolutely delicious – perfectly balanced broth with great depth of flavor. The crispy prawn uramaki was a standout too, with excellent contrast between the crispy texture and fresh ingredients. The quality of the food really impressed us, and it’s clear why Taberu has become a go-to spot for Japanese cuisine in Oxford. We’ll definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Megan Arrived in Oxford late after travelling from down south - best wrap we’ve had. We had Halloumi wrap and a chicken wrap. Staff really friendly and attentive with how they prepared the wraps.

Mahliqa After a long day moving house in the heat, we were hoping for a hearty meal. We ordered jollof rice, egusi with fufu, and pepper soup. The jollof? Meh - bland and stingy on the portion. The egusi? V.oily but full of flavour - honestly the star of the show. But then came the meat situation. Each dish had one real piece of meat. The rest? .. Unchewable slabs of skin and fat masquerading as food (pictured) - the disrespect. I get that cow skin is a thing but this one clearly missed its softening appointment. Atmosphere-wise, the music was club-level loud. We couldnt hear the staff, and they couldn’t hear us. Cleanliness was questionable (sticky tables), and the vibe among staff was more house party than hospitality. I won’t be back, but shoutout to the egusi for carrying the whole night. 2/5 for that alone.

Vaibhav Kukreja The best nepalese food in the UK hands down. I have been to multiple places around Manchester, London, Wales, Bath and so on. But nothing comes close. This is as authentic as it gets!
