La Smorfia Oxford - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

Sam Plumb This place has only been open a little while and we’ve already been half a dozen times. Definitely our favourite Chinese restaurant in Oxford. The food is top quality and very affordable. Love it!

The Kids Tell Bad Jokes Was tempted to have 5 Guys takeaway delivered (Im in Oxford for overnight for a conference), but decided to go independent instead. Nearly didnt order from here as was looking at Deliveroo and couldnt see milkshakes available (which I definitely wanted), but they were available if I ordered from Just Eat... Unavailable to order on their own, but could be ordered if I added as an upgrade to the meal deal drink, bizarrely. Anyway, very glad I did! Smokey Texas Burger looked a bit small, but was DELICIOUS. Cajun fries also great. Probably would be too spicy for my kids (and theyre not exactly wimps) but spot on for me. Funnily enough, the oreo milkshake was the only disappointment - with no straw supplied and a big wodge of whipped cream on top, it was tricky to drink, and I was more looking for a thick McDonalds style sludgy shake, where this was a bit thinner. But still nice enough and it hit the spot. Would definitely recommend the burger and chips though!

Ali G Simply the best. This restaurant has a huge variety of options! Everything from grills to homemade soup of the day, stews, slow cooked traditional dishes, döner kebabs, and so many others I probably haven’t tried yet. Everything I have tried has lived up to my expectations, and I love how your order is grilled in front of you! They are super fast too, once you order and choose any meat from the see through fridge, it is immediately handed to the grill chef and starts cooking! Döner varieties including wraps and döner-on-rice are the best you’ll have in Oxford! Homemade dishes are so good that they run out quickly. A must visit, absolutely worth the price. People who work there are absolute champs they are very kind and always positive despite working loads and being under pressure at all times. (Attached is a takeaway box from Bodrum Restaurant, it has rice and chips underneath the meat, invisible on this angle, salad and sauces are complimentary with every order)

Emanuela Bozhinova We love Italian food, so when we saw the reviews for this place we decided to give a chance. From start to end it was a really nice experience. The staff were really kind and helpful. The food was delicious. I had pizza and it was okay, not the best. However the appetiser, pasta and desert were really nice. We had booking for inside but the staff recommended to us to sit outside as it was warm evening. Overall it was good experience and we would come back again.

Huiling Zhang This is a great place to catch up with a friend, or just to enjoy some food and company. Excellent food. Will definitely try again! We ordered the signature pork shank and the confit Guinea fowl; both were very satisfying. Not too oily; not too salty; everything was just right. The sweet cabbage was also cooked expertly. For dessert we tried the hot dumpling, which is basically a warm bun with sweet jam fillings. Needless to say this idea of dumpling is quite novel to me as a Chinese, but it tastes good. I cannot wait to come back and try more items on the menu! Service: nice but chill. Perhaps because we are close to Christmas there weren’t too many customers around. Many chose to stay and chat for a while after the meal. We did so and was not pushed out (never!) and instead received very nice hospitality.

George Chalhoub Great Lebanese food in Cowley. Fresh mezze, really good grilled meats, and proper flavours that actually taste like home. The mixed grill was solid and the hummus was smooth and well seasoned. Portions are generous and the staff are friendly without being over the top. Definitely one of the better spots for Lebanese food in Oxford
