Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Consistently excellent, can’t recommend enough. We moved internationally and return to Oxford every year or so, always come for a meal here. Excellent service, still see the same faces each time we are back.

Amazing food, great service! The food was delicious and bought to us very quickly to enjoy! Peshwari naan was our favourite and the Goan curry was especially tasty!

Such wonderful food and service! The naan is the best that I’ve had, and the vegetarian dishes are outstanding. Everyone is very friendly and joyful, and it is a beautiful environment for dinner. Highly recommended!
