Franks Restaurant - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Mahliqa After a long day moving house in the heat, we were hoping for a hearty meal. We ordered jollof rice, egusi with fufu, and pepper soup. The jollof? Meh - bland and stingy on the portion. The egusi? V.oily but full of flavour - honestly the star of the show. But then came the meat situation. Each dish had one real piece of meat. The rest? .. Unchewable slabs of skin and fat masquerading as food (pictured) - the disrespect. I get that cow skin is a thing but this one clearly missed its softening appointment. Atmosphere-wise, the music was club-level loud. We couldnt hear the staff, and they couldn’t hear us. Cleanliness was questionable (sticky tables), and the vibe among staff was more house party than hospitality. I won’t be back, but shoutout to the egusi for carrying the whole night. 2/5 for that alone.

Arzoo Ahmed This is a beautifully authentic Syrian cafe with wonderful service and a cosy atmosphere. The falafel was super fresh - crispy and delicious, not dry as most falafel tends to be. The cheese spring rolls were perfectly balanced with sesame seeds and herbs. Already looking forward to my next visit - thank you!

Hannah Davies Khairos food was absolutely delicious!! Im so happy to have discovered this place. I would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back. I had the veggie samosa and some delicious grilled chicken and rice. Shakir and the team stayed open late for an event wed organised at the Cowley workers social club. The team were so friendly, food and service all brilliant.

Jimin Ordered the Chicken Biryani with Meatball Sauce for just 7 pounds (very cheap). It was absolutely delicious with very large portions too. Staff was friendly too. Highly recommend.

Sarah Backshaw Amazing restaurant and delicious food! My husband booked this for my birthday and what a treat it was. The atmosphere was cosy and everything tasted fresh and full of flavour. A special shoutout to our server Stacy who was so funny, friendly and attentive from start to finish. The service didn’t feel rushed at all and we truly felt completely looked after, nothing was too much of an ask. We will definitely be back! Thank you again

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.
