La Smorfia Oxford - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Mark Townsend We stayed at the Mad Hatter , just round the corner. This little gem is basically amazing. Luckily we booked for 7, so a pick of the tables. The menu is not too extensive and if your looking for an Indian menu its not the same, but a very pleasant surprise awaits. The staff were very helpful in describing the food on the menu. What they didnt say was the little taster tipples that they gave us between courses. When the food did arrive it was well presented and tastefully superb. The restaurant by this time was full. Overall a fantastic experience and the staff rocked up with a little birthday treat for the wife, very unexpected. If you want quality and an amazing experience, this is the place to be!!

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.

Gorgeously Wise We visited the Red Star last day for hotpot. It was delicious and unlimited, we had full tummies by the end. Tessa and other servers were all so kind and friendly. Only little thing I wouldve preferred is deshelled and cleaned king prawn.

Elizabeth Varghese Good Chinese food in Oxford. Decent quantity and fair priced. If you are a pork fan there are a lot of dishes. Would love to come back again to try other dishes.
