Last year, I wrote a 5 star review. Excellent food, service, etc. So taking all of this in mind, I booked a table for Saturday night, for a celebratory meal on our anniversary. This I had booked a few days beforehand, by phone & there was no problem. When we arrived, we noticed how busy the pub was. It was absolutely packed, very noisy, loud music & standing room only. This did not concern us, people having a great time on a Saturday night, why not? We made our way into the restaurant, only to find out that there was a private party in there & no table for us. The waiter asked us to follow him & he would get us our table. This table was back in the (bursting at the seams) bar area, to some filthy table in the middle. When we disputed that this was not what we booked, we were told it would be just the same - obviously not! We left after saying how badly let down we were & as it was impossible to find somewhere more suitable at 8pm on a Saturday night, we went home. I did email the following day, asking for an explanation or at least an apology, but have not received any reply. If we were just told in the first place, that a table would not been available on our chosen night, we would have booked another night. There was a reason why my original review was top of your reviews list for a year & had many viewings. Sadly, following our last visit, I have now removed it & we will not return or recommend to others in future.

Nurul very well recommended me a dish which was Shahi Razalla (mildly spicy) and I loved it and the cheese bread! This was my favorite Indian curry 2.5 years ago and I come back today so I’m really grateful that the dish is just as delicious as before! Five stars for everything 🌟

Looked for a restaurant close to our hotel in Oxford and saw the Aziz. Called in expecting a typical meal but what we got was so much better. Ample portions and really excellent food. Staff were really friendly and had a great sense of humour. Extra touches like crispy onion on top of the rice made quite a difference to the flavour and crisp garlic bread was superb. We will without a doubt call back when we visit Oxford again in December.

Food was good. But some of it looked and tasted like it was frozen and the kitchen closed early

Only popped in for a quick drink and learned that the previous owner has sold up and left.
I was told that the Sunday buffet is still available at £18.95 (eat as much as you like) so I'll definitely return to try it out.

I did notice scaffolding at the front of the building and wondered whether it's the start of a much needed renovation and refurbishment to what has become a rather dated and tired looking venue.
