FRESCO - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

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.

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.

Sara Fouad Almohamadi The lekali chicken is very delicious we had it with some pilau rice and naan, it goes well with both. We also had some good starters I liked the tandoori chicken and the momos, I also liked the cauliflower. I was not a fan of the lamb and chicken on the Nepalese Platter I would probably only order the momos instead. The patan masu (lamb) was my friends order who asked for something super spicy, so only order it if you can hold your spice. The service is friendly and professional. I would definitely return to try some more momos :)

Emma Boyle Really delicious food and our server, Slim, was incredibly passionate about the food with an emphasis on everything being made in house. Slim was very funny and made you feel like you were at home. Everything was reasonably priced and fresh. We will be back!

Adriano La sorrentina Antep is a fantastic spot for authentic Turkish food in Cowley. The kebabs are perfectly cooked, the mezes are fresh and full of flavour, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Great value for money and definitely worth a visit if you’re in Oxford.

Mark Townsend We stayed at the Mad Hatter , just round the corner. This little gem is basically amazing. Luckily we booked for 7, so a pick of the tables. The menu is not too extensive and if your looking for an Indian menu its not the same, but a very pleasant surprise awaits. The staff were very helpful in describing the food on the menu. What they didnt say was the little taster tipples that they gave us between courses. When the food did arrive it was well presented and tastefully superb. The restaurant by this time was full. Overall a fantastic experience and the staff rocked up with a little birthday treat for the wife, very unexpected. If you want quality and an amazing experience, this is the place to be!!
