Sal V We booked In Anita’s Kitchen to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday and it turned out to be one of the most special dining experiences we’ve ever had. There were six of us and Anita welcomed us into her home like old friends. The setting is intimate and relaxed, which made the whole evening feel incredibly comfortable and personal. Anita prepared a beautiful 7-course vegetarian menu, cooking each dish in front of us and talking us through the ingredients, techniques and little tips that make such a difference. It felt like a cross between a private supper club and a hands-on cooking masterclass, but without any pressure, just pure enjoyment. Every course was delicious, thoughtfully put together and full of flavour, and the pacing of the evening was perfect. What really made it extra special, though, was Anita herself: warm, knowledgeable, and a genuinely wonderful host who made everyone feel included and at ease. It was a wholesome, memorable experience and such a unique way to celebrate a milestone birthday. If you’re looking for something more personal than a restaurant and love great freshly cooked food, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you Anita! Sailesh

Andy Alford From someone who eats out quite a bit, I can honestly say that this was the best curry that Ive had in a long time - possibly ever! I had the chicken lababda, which was just amazing- the flavourings and spices were unlike anything Ive ever tasted before. My son had the chicken korma, which was also delicious. Rice was plump and tasty and the nan bread (plain) was not at all greasy or too oversized. For desert we had gulab jamun, which was also good. This restaurant holds a 5 star food hygiene rating from 23 May 2023. Will definitely be back next time we come to Oxford - well done!

Ali Allen I visited for Sunday roast last week. Absolutely delicious, It was so wonderful, I went back again today. This time I chose the Sunday Indian menu. The food is absolutely faultless, superb standard of delicious Indian dishes, the staff are all wonderful, above and beyond! The restaurant is clean, fresh and inviting. And busy, but still calm and relaxing. So good to see a local establishment doing so well. Such good value at £20, and that includes as much as you eat. Can’t recommend it enough.

Jasper Jameson I had a commute ahead of me and my colleague suggested a McDonalds breakfast - I suggested a sit down and thank Gov I did! Shannon and Leila were so friendly and the all you can eat amazing buffet beat me! So much more value and a fun start to the day!

Keith Price OK food,but forgot to include everything that was on the menu. The service appalling!!! Walked to the bar and the barman just walked off, went away and came back 5 minutes later and the barman too busy texting on his phone to serve me. When i asked for the bill i was given the tap machine which i refused to tap tip, once paid i was given the bill with a service charge added !!!. Music too loud and after asking for it to be turned down, nothing done!! mooring right outside but we found a much better pub down the road after this experience. My advice give it a miss unless your desperate.
