Reviews

Ordered the Royal Breakfast - really tasty and fresh. Food is all halal (lamb sausages and turkey bacon). Very good price, efficient service and nice atmosphere. My two friends ordered the pancakes and they were very tasty too. Really nice spot for some brunch, friendly service.

Nice big portions and fresh ingredients. Probably one of the best chicken salads I’ve had because it was loaded with juicy chicken slices! Eggplant side was also delicious. The place was fairly empty/peaceful on a weekday early evening.

The food was great and a very generous portion size too! The lamb kofte was probably one of the best I've had! Service was a little slow though, but it wasn't a huge bother.

We stopped by here for lunch while passing through Oxford and it was the best decision. The food was excellent. The chicken tagine I had was extremely flavourful while being balanced, and the chicken was tender and fell right off the bone. The service is also very attentive and friendly. With only two staff and a packed dining room, they attended everyone efficiently without fail, and without any feeling of rush. Definitely recommended!
