Details

At 20-22 West Way Square, Tempering Indian Restaurant & Bar offers a culinary journey where every dish starts with the sizzle of spices in hot oil, a process known as "tempering" in Indian cooking. This recently opened establishment, managed by Ravinder Kandari, formerly of the popular 4500 Miles From Delhi, brings a love for honest food, rooted in tradition and served with warmth. Signature dishes like Chicken Madras, Lamb Rogan Josh, and Goan Fish Curry showcase their commitment to authentic flavours, with starters such as Onion Bhaji and Lamb Chops also on the menu. The restaurant has quickly received a warm welcome, praised for its delicious and reasonably priced food, alongside heart-warming hospitality.

The beautifully decorated interior and great ambiance provide a welcoming setting for both families and friends, with options for cosy booth seating. Situated in the bustling West Way Square, Tempering contributes to the area's role as an attractive focal point with its array of restaurants and cafes. Diners have highlighted the extremely flavourful meals and the friendly, helpful service, making it a recommended spot in Botley. While the restaurant has focused on its dine-in experience, the team is also looking to expand its takeaway offerings. The menu also features a good selection of vegetarian options, including Palak Paneer and Tadka Dal, alongside various rice and naan breads.

What a find, we were staying at the Premier Inn and couldn’t have hoped for a better restaurant next door. Lovely decor, welcoming staff and all food was superb - the samosa chat starter I could eat every day. Highly recommend.
