Heat Afro Lounge - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Sandra Brunton We, a party of 8, visited this establishment on Suday lunchtime. On entering we were aware of the welcoming and friendly atmosphere from staff and customers. Toby, our waiter, didnt take long to take our orders. He was very knowlegable regarding the menu, and was able to answer any queries. We all had starters that went down well. No complaints. Seven of our party chose either lamb neck or shoulder, the other, pork, for the main course. All meals were ample and well presented, and most importantly, HOT. The slow cooked lamb meat was very tender and fell off the bone. Extra gravy or condiments were brought swiftly to the table as requested. Seven of our party finished off their meal with a dessert. The rhubarb and ginger sponge was especially liked. We all had a nothing but praise for a great afternoon, delicious food, and excellent, friendly service from all the staff, especially our waiter, Toby. A footnote...Yes it was very noisy, but this is what happens when people are enjoying themselves and having a good time! We will visit again.

Anita Ilott Good and freshly made food. We had meat samosa and veggie momo as starters and for main Himalayan lamb and himgiri. The price is reasonable too.

Nick Southern A great place to meet for breakfast or lunch. Friendly staff, great food, decent coffee, clean and tidy, and reasonable prices

Peter Sloane Stopped for lunch, we arrived late but they still seated us. Food as advertised, elevated pub food, but very elevated. Steak served simply with sauce and fries but exceptional cut and cooked to perfection. Burger wonderful, simple but everything perfectly done. They did pasta for our 5 year old and charged only £7 which is not always the case with restaurants. Would definitely come again.
