Although the prices are on the higher side, the quality of food and service makes it a worthwhile experience for special occasions.

The new owners have nailed the cocktails. Great quality, and the Friday night music by the river is a vibe.

Stumbled in by chance. The onion bhaji starter was spot on. Had the Raja Rani lamb with pilau rice - came out steaming hot, really flavourful. Just a solid, no-fuss meal.

The masala dosa was spot-on. Crispy, just like home. Eggplant bharta and mutton too. Kulfi halwa finished it perfectly. Real taste of India.

Popped in for a long lunch and loved the tapas-style pacing. Could actually chat without feeling rushed. Owner&#39;s a proper character, really into his stuff. The seafood platter was generous, got to try a few things I&#39;d never order normally. Solid spot for a lazy afternoon.

Came for the momo dumplings, they&#39;re a decent starter. The spicy curry sauce is nice. But the Gurkha Special Tawa? The portion was a bit small for the price. You get some meat and peppers, but I was still a bit peckish afterwards.

Huge portions here, really good value. Got the family platter to share, it was packed with flavour. Could barely finish it all.

Came here after a recommendation from the outdoor shop next door. The lamb chops were cooked just right, and the sommelier suggested a lovely Malbec that paired beautifully. Prices felt fair for the quality. A solid spot.

Nice vibe for a proper sit-down. The decor is spot on, not too loud. Felt relaxed just being there. Good for a quiet catch-up.

The staff were so friendly and made sure my lactose allergy was handled without any fuss. Food arrived quickly and tasted lovely. Just a really comfortable, easy meal.

The polenta chips are the main event here. Perfectly crisp outside, creamy inside. The menu&#39;s short, which is fine because they&#39;ve nailed these. Could eat a whole plate myself.

Ayman&rsquo;s attention to detail is lovely. Everything&rsquo;s made from scratch, so our gluten-free request was handled with such ease.

Tasting menu was lovely. Each course had its own thing going on, flavours were clear. You could really taste the local produce. The scallop dish was a standout for me. A bit of a wait between courses, but that&#39;s fine when the food is this considered.

The back garden is a real find. So quiet and tucked away from the street. Had my lunch out there in the sun, it was just lovely. A proper little escape.

Been coming here for years. The tempura shrimp is always spot on - crispy, not greasy. That&rsquo;s the one thing I keep ordering, and it&rsquo;s never let me down.

Found this little spot in Summertown. The Marmite chicken was the standout for me - the chicken itself was so fresh and tender. Really appreciated that. The sauce had a nice depth without being too heavy. A solid choice for a simple, satisfying meal.

Wanted a burger that wasn&#39;t from a chain. The Escobar burger here was really good, and the loaded fries were tasty. But for what you get, the price felt a bit high.

The three-course menu had some nice options. I went for the grilled fish main - it was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables on the side tasted really fresh. A solid choice if you&#39;re looking for something light and well-prepared.

Shared the meat platter. Everything was tasty, and the price felt fair. The lamb was especially good. Just a solid, straightforward meal.

The black cod was incredible, but honestly the portions were a bit small for the price. The Wagyu was the same - fantastic flavour, just not a lot on the plate. You&#39;re definitely paying for the quality here, not the quantity.

The chips and cheese with doner meat is my go-to. It&#39;s always solid, even if the main kebabs can be a bit hit or miss.

The tasting menu was a solid journey. Loved the progression from cold cuts to the seafood course. That Basque cheesecake though... just the right balance of creamy and burnt. A real standout.

Food was excellent. Service top-notch, friendly and actually knew the menu. Place looks great, nice vibe.

The gluten-free pita was a game changer! So soft and warm, you wouldn&#39;t guess it was GF. Staff were really chill about checking everything for allergies, no pressure at all.

They swapped the noodles for a vegan chow mein, no problem at all. Perfect for a quick catch-up with friends.

Came in for lunch, vegan options are clearly marked which is handy. The veggie tempura was really crisp, and they made the gyoza ramen vegan for me. Nice to not have to ask a million questions.

Great spot for a group lunch! The pasta is clearly fresh, and the staff were really nice when we mentioned one dish was a bit salty.

Stumbled upon this place by chance. The vegan options are pretty good, and the spicy sauce has a decent kick to it. A solid find.

Been coming here for years. The food is always spot on, and they don&#39;t shy away from the proper chilli heat. Presentation&#39;s nice too. It&#39;s become my reliable local for a proper Thai curry.

The pit-master platter was huge for two people, seriously. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the brisket had a great smoky crust. Some of the best BBQ I&#39;ve had in a while.
