My son got food poisoning from eating the Chicken tikka jacket potato with cheese, coleslaw and sauce.
We wont be coming back here again :(
One of the few places in Oxford that does - was after food at 11pm and everywhere else was shut or refused, but these guys allowed me to ring up and order (in compliance with the rules).
As a veggie / vegan: ordered a veggie burger, breaded mushrooms (see photo), and Fanta Lemon. Also ordered Garlic bread but none came out. Was £8.50 so meh - not complaining on that.
Breaded mushrooms 🍄 were tasty and hot. Not come across them before but worked well.
Fanta Lemon was OK. 🍋
Veggie burger was the usual mushy flavourless patty that many places do. 🍔 Sure: the salad and Garlic mayo were nice, but it's annoying that a place like this does so well at meat and the above, yet sucks at veggie burgers.
Have also visited this place pre-lockdown (and before going vegan) and is a good place. Would usually give them 5 stars, but feel they could get there if they found decent veggie patties.
All that said: these guys are way, way better than going McDonalds or KFC. Please do support them as most of their food is ace. 👍
