Drooling Postman - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Callum Smart Busy Saturday night walk in - we were able to be sat outside and the heaters turned on for us. All the staff were very kind, attentive and warm. Some very warming Turkish teas were brought for us at the end complimentary. Great stop in Oxford right next to the O2 we were heading to.

Joyce Halsall Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. The unique ambience and decoration was a treat. Good food and friendly helpful staff

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

Arzoo Ahmed This is a beautifully authentic Syrian cafe with wonderful service and a cosy atmosphere. The falafel was super fresh - crispy and delicious, not dry as most falafel tends to be. The cheese spring rolls were perfectly balanced with sesame seeds and herbs. Already looking forward to my next visit - thank you!

Sara Fouad Almohamadi The lekali chicken is very delicious we had it with some pilau rice and naan, it goes well with both. We also had some good starters I liked the tandoori chicken and the momos, I also liked the cauliflower. I was not a fan of the lamb and chicken on the Nepalese Platter I would probably only order the momos instead. The patan masu (lamb) was my friends order who asked for something super spicy, so only order it if you can hold your spice. The service is friendly and professional. I would definitely return to try some more momos :)
