I went here during bonfire night last year i’m sorry to mark it a three star as there is nothing that wrong with it,but hey i live in Birmingham home of the “balti”.The restaurant was packed,has an extensive menu ,serves Kingfisher on draught ,and had a great atmosphere.I was told this was the best in Oxford before my visit,the meal was good ,just i,ve had much better in Brum(sorry to be a curry snob!).I might add curry is my favourite food ,and i could probably eat at my local curry house every night if my wife allowed.

Very very good quality Indian Food.

It is also beautifully decorated - not your typical tat.

The reputation of this restaurant is vast - it is award winning and seems that lots of people have heard about it.

Eat in or take out - you can’t go wrong.

Try out the chef’s specialities - marvellous.

I actually had a bad experience here (contrary to everyone else!). Slow service and our food was cold. I will give them another go, but i wasn’t too impressed!

i think this is without a doubt the best curry house in Oxfordshire - as proven by its recent awards. And its not just the food - its the staff and atmosphere too. I have always found the staff very accommodating and the restaurant very clean and well tended to.
If you do not live near by you will have to get a bus through town and onto the cowley rd.. there is not a lot of parking in oxford, and even less near the cowley rd area. I should know, i live there! :)
All the curries that you would expect to find are here, korma’s, massala’s, vindaloos… and they will mix and match too. If you want a duck vindaloo then ask! Dont know why you would, but you can! If you have children you can ask for smaller portions or any special requirements too.
A lot of curry houses will sell mid temp curries that taste rather bland, but that is not a problem here. Each and every curry i have tried has been very tasty indeed. My fav is the chicken vinda-loo or the butter chicken dish. I also like the Passanda… ahhh too many to mention!
All the starters and sides are excellent…. there really isnt anything to find fault with at all!

If you are after a great curry then there is no other….!

Excellent food and well deserved rewards. This has to be my favourite Indian restaurant in Oxfordshire. A real gem of Cowley!

Fantastic Indian food. Award winning, exceptional curry. This is my favourite curry restaurant in Oxford. Make sure you book (or dine early) this place is obviously packed out most nights of the week.

Excellent curry and very popular. As mentioned by others, this place had won a bunch of awards including best Curry House in the South East. The food is great but i'm not sure i agree with this. The Cinnamon Club, Chutney Mary and Bombay Bicycle Club are much better in my book, but perhaps Aziz has improved since the last time i went. Don't get me wrong, it's great here. I'm just not sure it deserves all the accolades dished out in recent times.

This is a great restaurant but nothing like as good as it's sister restaurant on Folly Bridge, Aziz Pandesia. If you're in Cowley and you're after a curry, this is definitely the one to go to however.

The food here is great - all of the curries are really tasty and head and shoulders above other Indian restaurants in Oxford. My favourite is the bhuna - there's also a good range of mild dishes, none of which are even remotely bland.

The service is attentive but a little slow at times. We had a bottle of red wine which was a little lukewarm and I was brought the wrong desert, but it was otherwise fine. The decor in here is a bit odd - there's a lot of rugs and green trellis, a bit odd.

A good restaurant, give it a try if you're in the area.

It's so nice to have an Indian restaurant in Oxford that isn't just a feeding hole for student clubs and societies or a take-away with some tables added seemingly as an afterthought. The food is award-winning and has far more than the usual range of options.

Good points:

Yummy food - which is the whole point of a restaurant, after all.
Polite service
Relaxed atmosphere
Funky dotted patterns on the walls
Not too expensive

Bad points:

Location - it's right at the far end of Cowley road - not good if you live in Northern Oxford, but at least you can walk off your meal afterwards.
Busy - it's worth phoning before making the trek

Won the award for best curry house in South East England at 2007 British Curry Awards - in top ten curry restaurants in UK. Deservedly so, in my opinion; Aziz is always top notch and I'm feeling hungry just thinking about it (it's 10am!)

The restaurant looks stylish too and the staff are always extremely smart and polite (love the beautiful waitress in sari). Only draw back for me is finding somewhere to park - go by bus if you can. It's in Cowley Road which can be a bit rough at times, but a couple of good bars to visit before hand.
