Details

For over half a century, The Standard has been a cherished culinary landmark in Oxford's Jericho neighbourhood, dishing up authentic Bengali and South Asian cuisine. Run by the same family since it first opened its doors in 1972, this welcoming spot on Walton Street offers a cosy and intimate atmosphere, whether you're people-watching through the large window during the day or settling in for a comforting evening meal. It’s a place where tradition is paramount, evident in the consistently high quality of their classic curries, from a zinging lamb madras to a flavourful chicken tikka masala, all prepared with fresh ingredients. The friendly and attentive service adds to the feeling of being a regular, even on your first visit.

Step inside and you'll discover a menu that balances time-honoured favourites with daily specials, ensuring there's always something new to entice your taste buds. Alongside the beloved curries, you'll find an extensive vegetarian selection, with popular choices like palak paneer and tarka dal. Don't miss out on their exceptional poppadoms and perfectly charred garlic naan, details that set the stage for the main event. House specialities such as the spicy chicken mirch masala or the unique tamarind and black pepper chicken showcase the kitchen's flair. Whether you're a student, a local resident, or a visitor exploring Jericho, The Standard offers a genuinely satisfying and reasonably priced dining experience.

Best Indian food I have had since living in India! Lots of nice vegetarian and vegan options (but the prawn dishes are wonderful too)
