"today harvard inn (22 October) visited with friends for lunch and drink. we received not the warmest reception, 3 young girls working from the bar, but were more interested in their phones than actually a service. when we came to our table, there were no best or serviettes. we waited 15 minutes to take our food order and ask for a wine list. then we had to wait 10 minutes to order a bottle of wine. when the weeping was overlaid, he was left on the table, we were not offered to try it and it was not poured for us. waiting for eating was long, 35 minutes for 2 x sausages and maic and 1 x fish and chips. When the food finally arrived, there was no cute yet. we had to ask that, and it was just in a stack on the table. the fish and chips were very good as the sausages and mashing. until a human hair was found in the maic! the waitress came over and took the food with an empty expression and murmured an apology. we waited for some time again that teller will be taken away and ask for the bill. also here it took at least 10 minutes to pass. I wouldn't worry about waiting, but the bar was absolutely empty! halfway through our meal came a table of 10, there were already cutlery and serviettes laid and water was provided. the staff seemed to be much more attentive to this group. I am incredibly disappointed as I was already in the harvard inn and eating and the service was impeccable. Not sure if there is a change of hands or if there is a lack of training. the young staff seemed to have no idea, and as already mentioned was more interest in chatting and their handys. I am grateful that the meal with the found hair was taken out of the bill. sad to say that I don't return."

"Booked here for Valentine's on the recommendation of a friend and it was fantastic, great food, excellent service (not constantly interrupting just let you enjoy your meal), slight mix-up with one of the orders but they sorted in it quickly and were very apologetic. Really made an effort on the ambiance and decor for the occasion, would definitely go back again."

"I believe the restaurant surroundings and bar makes the place look nicer than it is. It feels like due to this they believe they can charge extra. I thought the meal was average and the fee charged for the meal and drinks didn't match up to what I had. Another problem I have we restaurants such as these is that they believe the can charge cocktail bar prices. I'm happy to pay £7 for a cocktail on a night out at a swanky bare however £7 mid-week just seems a tad extortionate if you ask me."

"Ate here yesterday for Father's Day. Admittedly it was a very hot day but the temperature inside the pub was unbearable. So much so that after seeing another table do so, we decided to follow suit and eat dessert outside. The food was also disappointing and no where near up the standard of previous visits. The prawn cocktail was lacking in prawns and the ones that were there were small, frozen shrimp with absolutely no flavour and a rubbery texture. To be fair other members of the family had the squid starter and said that was fine. Main courses were slightly better and I did enjoy the steak. Dessert was a lemon pot that tasted like lemon cleaner and a bowl of ice cream that when served was completely melted and had to be sent back. All in all a disappointing and uncomfortable meal. Will not go back and will not recommend."

"The food was amazing but the service really let them down. They brought out our main course over an hour after being there , and the biggest problem was we hadn't had our starter!! So main course taken away and had to wait another 20 mins for starter! They then brought out 4 starters and one of them should have been vegetarian!! We then had to wait for the vegetarian starter to be made!! Such a shame as could of been a really great night!!"

"I have walked passed this cafe several times and not noticed it, nestled next to the big Co-Op supermarket in Moseley. So, I was glad when a friend said let's meet there. It was surprisingly spacious, with a lovely ambience and a great range of goodies to eat. Freshly baked bread pastries baked onsite with a distinctively French vibe. They also offer a more extended lunch menu, plus the usual coffee variations and teas. I didn't venture out to their garden because it was drizzling with rain, but from what I could see, it looked like a nice space for warmer days. The young Black lady who served was very helpful we didn't feel pressured to leave when we were finished. I will be back! Recommended stop."

"My partner and I dined at this restaurant last night, and I personally believe it was the best Indian food I have had in years. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated at a table. We had purchased an Itison voucher (two courses for two people, with a choice of house red or white wine) which only cost us £17 total. The starters were beautifully presented and tasted delicious, setting us up nicely for our main courses. I chose the South Indian garlic chilli dish, while my husband opted for the Nepalese bhuna. Both dishes were flavorful and authentic. Since we had used an Itison voucher, we paid for the poppadoms and chutney before heading home to relax for the evening. Overall, I must say that for a restaurant that had just opened a few weeks ago, the service was friendly and the food was exceptional. Keep up the good work, Essence - we will definitely be back."

"Good ambience... And that's the only good thing! Food some items are ok like naan bread. But curries were bad. Especially Tikka masala was so sweet like dessert. Service was pathetically slow. Pulav rice was like yesterday's left out plain rice. Will not visit again, given there are so many other Indian restaurants around."

"This long-standing restaurant on Sydenham Road stays true to its roots and is truly a gem! I have dined here 3/4 times now with different friends and family members, and we always leave feeling satisfied. The food is consistently of a high standard, and the service, especially from Pavi, is warm and friendly. She goes above and beyond to make you feel special, and her smile is the perfect finishing touch to an already exceptional dining experience. The ambience instantly transports me back to the authentic Indian restaurants of the past: pristine white linen, rich decor, attentive professional staff, and delicious cuisine. I can't wait to come back soon! Best of luck to the entire team!"

"We had a delightful Sunday roast that was very satisfying, and we definitely got our money's worth. The charming little building created a cozy atmosphere, and they were kind enough to accommodate us and our dogs in a quiet area, even though it wasn't too crowded. There was also a lovely band playing, which the dogs seemed to enjoy as well!"

"Excellent dinner in her walled garden in one of the pods. A warm welcome from the always charming Baz before served on local seasonal dishes with a good selection of wines through the glass and an interesting alcohol-free cocktail for the driver. We had asparagus, crabs, cod steak all perfectly cooked before we share an anniversary drink. Special mention of the always smiling Jake who looked around us. The new Chef Jon Parry is a great addition to the Oxford food scene, try his food."

"We checked the website before going and it only had Patatas Bravas, Chips and Churros listed as vegan but when we arrived there where many more vegan options on the menu. The serving staff were not too sure of what vegan meant, we asked some questions and if they did not know the answer they went to check with the kitchen which is fine. Make sure to ask for no chocolate sauce with the churros, they gave us an extra churro instead. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, we will be going back very soon."

"I 'm genuinely not sure if this is a real place or if we were inadvertently cast in a comedy sketch. A group of 6 of us arrived for lunch. It 's an order at the bar situation, and we ordered in 3 groups so we expected some difference in the timings of the dishes which is fine though not the 30 minutes between mine and my partners dish. When we asked the staff to check on the whereabouts of the much anticipated pizza, he returned to tell us it would be another 10 minutes as the pizza man was on his break ?? With every dish arrival there was the unusual question of do you want cutlery? , I haven 't eaten sausage mash and gravy with my hands before and today didn 't feel like the day to start. The staff seemed bewildered during any interaction. One bringing a lone spoon to us when we had no food, another bringing a second not ordered pizza at the end of the meal, another arrived to ask if we had finished our meal before we 'd even begun. We raised our complaints to the manager, who refunded some of the meals and offered us a free replacement which was appreciated, although declined. The food was subpar. The pizza was somehow both burnt and raw, the curry was cold, the Cumberland sausage unevenly cooked. The chips however very tasty."

"I’ve never had a bad experience at the quarter their decor is very cool and unique and their food and drinks are always made to a very high standard. They have an impressive amount of vegetarian and vegan options on both their daytime and evening menus (bagels, sandwiches, pasta, curry, salad, nachos, burgers etc) as well as dedicated vegetarian and vegan menus for their tapas nights on a Thursday and offer different plant-based milks for hot drinks. They genuinely have something for everybody only criticisms are that their portion sizes can be rather big so make sure you’re hungry !!"

"We booked in Oct after seeing the Xmas menu and having been here many times felt on 23/12 it would be a romantic xmas dinner. They had our booking and were expecting us but no record that we had booked in person for the xmas dinner which as a result meant we could not have anything off it. We were adivsed the only difference between that and the normal menu was the turkey roast which is not my recollection from seeing it in Oct and if so, why have a xmas menu when it is no different to the normal meun and encourage us to visit under false pretences. We chose off the limited menu a Thai prawn curry. I could have done better myself. The curry was just spiced rice with aubergines and a few cooked prawns on top that had not been flavoured at all. When my partner queried and said it was very average the waitress agreed it was not the best dish on the menu but no attempt was made to discount. We had the pate as a starter which was fine but after the main course left without dessert or coffee but having wasted best part of a £100 for a wholly inadequate experience. The fire had gone out, the ambience was not festive and the food poor. Even the carpet looked like it had not seen a hoover in weeks. I will await a response as I wonder if the pub can afford to lose regualrs in this way however lovely the location"
