The hummus was a highlight, however the pita bread let the plate down slightly, resembling cheap shop-bought pita.
That said, the overall experience made up for it. The cafe’s bright pink walls, quirky art, and low ceilings give it a homely, welcoming vibe that feels authentic and unpretentious.
If you're after a satisfying, hearty, and affordable meal in the heart of Oxford, Georgians Cafe is definitely worth a visit.
