Tulip Cafe - (Near , South East)

Heffernan Noél (Noël) Recently, I was very fortunate enough to be invited by the owner of The Mayflower, in Kidlington, to a Chinese Banquet in his restaurant which is currently mainly known and used as a takeaway. The food was prepared by a renowned Oxford Chef, who previously was heavily involved in The Liaison, Paddyfields and the Tong San, these were all known for serving up the most amazing Traditional, Authentic, Cantonese dishes. He is now preparing this style of food and passing on his skills at The Mayflower on a pre-arranged basis. If you are thinking of having a special meal and think that this would be of interest, please contact the restaurant to arrange a meeting, with the owners, to discuss your requirements. The attached photos show a range of dishes, which although in this case included a number of seafood items, can be altered to suit individual needs. The meal that I have highlighted would cost between £50 and £60 per head and the minimum number would be 8 but 10 is ideal.

Romy Without a doubt the best cafe in London (that also happens to be Kosher!) All the food is exquisite - fresh, tasty, unique and generous portions! The staff are all amazing - especially the owner Emi who pours her heart and soul into this warm and wonderful environment. It always feels like going home when you visit! Though I always look forward to what new and delicious treat they have made! Can’t recommend this place enough!!

John This place was fantastic. Although it was a bit busy on a Saturday and we had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated in the small waiting area, when we sat down and ordered the food was wonderful and came out quickly. The staff were friendly and the food portions were generous and tasty. I was also glad to see they had lots of plant based options. The food was hot and fresh. As always, the bottomless drinks were a hit. The place was also very clean and comfortable. I’d definitely come back here.

Sinai Torress Thought I’d try this Pakistani restaurant as I live nearby and saw it had just recently opened; what a great decision it was!!! The food was amazing and I could tell it had been freshly made. The biryani and daal were especially tasty :) Shafti was super nice, he really made sure we were looked after. He also offered us fresh mango lassi which was so good and my favourite! I definitely recommend and cannot wait to be back. Thank you!!!

Luke Gravett We are visiting the area and ordered a takeaway. After having had more Indian takeaways than I can remember over the years I didnt hold out any great expectations. The price was reasonable, the delivery service excellent, and the food was the outstanding. Beautifully presented and so, so tasty. The crowning dish for us was the Jal Beguni, a delicate but heated aubergine dish which was a delight. We were also grateful to easily find on the menu which dishes were vegan, not something offered by a lot of takeaways. We will come again.

Belinda Ntini If you’re in the mood for delicious Nigerian food with a vibrant atmosphere, this is the place to go! I’ve sampled nearly everything on the menu, and my top picks are the Goat Suya with a dash of pepper, the Eforiro, and the irresistible Ayamase. The huge fish dish, paired with plantain or yam, is another standout—a real explosion of flavors! In addition to the restaurant, there’s a newly refurbished lounge in the basement, complete with a charming garden. It’s perfect for private events, offering small, flavorful bites and refreshing cocktails. The lively ambiance makes it a must-visit!
