The food was simply amazing. The BBQ boxes were a highlight, packed with delicious flavours that left us wanting more. The tzatziki was the best I've ever had, perfectly creamy and flavourful. The portions were generous, ensuring that we left fully satisfied.
To top it all off, the value for money was excellent. We enjoyed a fantastic meal without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Olivia's Greek Food to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience in Oxford. You won't be disappointed!
So, the food was good but the service is extremely slow. We won’t visit again.
