Moya - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

5 /5 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.

5 /5 Jelena D: Moya is a charming and sophisticated restaurant in Oxford. All the staff were extremely friendly and personable, chatting to us about the food and drinks while also getting to know us. Our server Milena was lovely and really looked after us. The Eastern European cuisine was excellent and is a unique find in the city. We ordered the mushroom dumplings, and tender duck that fell off the bone, with sides of gratin and sauerkraut. It was so delicious that we also had to try the fruit dumpling and bubble cake for dessert. We paired this with a light and floral dessert wine and finished it off with a flavourful espresso. Our only regret was not ordering any appetizers too! Whether you’re visiting Oxford for the first time or a long time resident, you must try this restaurant. You may even receive an added bonus if you visit late in the evening as you might spot a professor mulling over some paperwork alongside a glass of wine. We give it 5 stars for the food, staff, and ambience!

5 /5 Maria Vasileva - Grinfeld: A nice Slovakian restaurant in Oxford. Despite having quite a few excellent meat options there’s plenty for veggies too. They put their own spin on the famous Eastern European dishes. Everything was tasty and well presented.

5 /5 Ajith Vasudevan: The small unassuming outward appearance belays the quality of what these folks dish out inside. If you are feeling even a little bit like having some excellent Eastern European food while in Oxford - look no further. For starters - We had a butternut squash soup which was - OK…and a devils toast which was excellent. Main course was the duck - crispy flavourful and paired to perfection with cabbage and an apple gravy as well as the goulash with dumplings - oh that felt so good on a cold winter evening. The desserts were outstanding too - the bubble cake I would definitely go back for and the apple tart which was fresh and done well Strongly recommended

5 /5 V Yau: Surprised by how high quality the food and cocktails are! Loved everything - especially the devilled toast, the pork shank was done perfectly and delicious salmon too. We had two cocktails each person, really impressed with how they use fresh fruits rather than fruity syrup - do try their specials!
