7 GATES DAMASCUS CAFE - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

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.

Sandra Brunton We, a party of 8, visited this establishment on Suday lunchtime. On entering we were aware of the welcoming and friendly atmosphere from staff and customers. Toby, our waiter, didnt take long to take our orders. He was very knowlegable regarding the menu, and was able to answer any queries. We all had starters that went down well. No complaints. Seven of our party chose either lamb neck or shoulder, the other, pork, for the main course. All meals were ample and well presented, and most importantly, HOT. The slow cooked lamb meat was very tender and fell off the bone. Extra gravy or condiments were brought swiftly to the table as requested. Seven of our party finished off their meal with a dessert. The rhubarb and ginger sponge was especially liked. We all had a nothing but praise for a great afternoon, delicious food, and excellent, friendly service from all the staff, especially our waiter, Toby. A footnote...Yes it was very noisy, but this is what happens when people are enjoying themselves and having a good time! We will visit again.

Joyce Halsall Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. The unique ambience and decoration was a treat. Good food and friendly helpful staff

Neil Madhvani A superb plant-based cafe with delicious savoury and sweet dishes. We highly recommend the Bagel Baby with tater tots and the blueberry and lemon pancakes. Super fluffy! Very impressed and the portions are so generous - glad we shared a few dishes.

Thomas Li one of my favourite pubs in oxford! delicious food - yummy pizzas, small plates, and a sunday roast! great selection of draught beers and ciders from local and indie breweries too. the kitchen is also completely nut free. this place is fully vegan but you wouldnt realise it as all vegan substitutes are treated as equals to animal based products (ie a sausage is labelled as just a sausage and not a specifically vegan sausage) and I think this is really cool as it encourages people who ordinarily wouldnt consider eating something vegan to try more plant based foods. delicious food and amazing service; well worth a visit!

Stella H Best espresso martinis I’ve ever had thanks to the lady behind the bar, nice atmosphere outside with the outdoor heaters too. Student friendly with happy hour and 2 for £10 on cocktails - will be sure to visit again!
