Chaiiwala - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

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.

Olivia Jenkins If you have not yet tried this restaurant make it next on your list!! I have been here for both lunch and evening meal and every time it is amazing. The food the atmosphere and most importantly the staff are the best!!! Big portions for good prices. Shoutout to Melissa for the delicious cocktails too. Really highly recommend.

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!

Peter Sloane Stopped for lunch, we arrived late but they still seated us. Food as advertised, elevated pub food, but very elevated. Steak served simply with sauce and fries but exceptional cut and cooked to perfection. Burger wonderful, simple but everything perfectly done. They did pasta for our 5 year old and charged only £7 which is not always the case with restaurants. Would definitely come again.

Sasha P Wow, amazing - out-of-this-world tasty food, excellent and friendly service and pretty special lattes! Can’t recommend enough, good thing we don’t live in this part of town, otherwise I’d probably be there every day they have food on. Favourites today were the aubergine curry and the stir-fried pork, although everything that comes out of this kitchen is truly magical! And so were the coffees - seriously good stuff, don’t think I have had such a great latte in ages. Thank you to everyone at Elle’s looking after us today! We had a special bday celebration today and everyone at Elle’s today was so very accommodating and kind to our group. One of us was coeliac and it was great that many of the options were gluten-free for them. Now, when can we go back next?

Krasi Ivanov Nice and warm, cosy restaurant. Very polite service. Probably the best pizza in Oxfordshire - well done !! Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the ingredients. Will be back, thats for sure. Constructive feedback to the management: The white spot lights could feel a but too bright, reducing the romantic atmosphere. Also, we understand delays and why they happen, would be nice if they are announced at the start of the booking, just to manage expectations.
