"The Temple Bar is located on Temple Street in St Clements, situated between Cowley and Iffley Roads. It is my local pub, and I am also a member of the Temple Bar table football team, which recently won the Oxford University League. The pub has a beautiful old Victorian exterior and a beautifully designed interior with soothing green walls, comfortable leather chairs and sofas, and a good layout. The Temple Bar is known for being a 'house of fun', with a variety of games such as pool, Jenga, Connect 4, billiards, darts, and more. The pub is always busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as on other nights when there are events such as quizzes, foozball team games, darts team games, open mic nights, reggae nights, and karaoke. The pub also has a beer garden with a covered area and heating, as well as picnic tables. The owner, Barry, and his family keep the place in top condition, with a long bar and plenty of employees to ensure a great pub experience. Barry is always involved with the pub teams and makes sure they have everything they need. The Temple Bar is a top pub with a top atmosphere, run by a top man. Come down and enjoy! If you're interested in joining one of the foozball teams, feel free to reach out - we're a friendly group always looking for new members!"

"the music was wrong for a that type of restaurant. I would expect more oriental music for a lebanese restaurant. starters were much better than the mains. we were 6 people and each of us said the same, the main is not worth the price, while the starters were great. Everyone said they should have take few extra starters rather than the mains"

"This restaurant offers friendly service with a smile. The food is carefully made and the breakfast options looked delicious. I particularly enjoyed the granola and the black tea with milk. The restaurant has a cute atmosphere that adds to the overall experience."

"Unfortunately, this 1-star review is based on the fact that we didn't actually get to try the food. Booked online for lunch time and received confirmation email. Turned up a bit before booking time but after restaurant was supposed to be open. It wasn't. Door was closed and locked (there was a confused looking delivery driver waiting outside too who eventually gave up and left). While waiting, several apparent staff members turned up and had to bang on a side door to be let in, all pointedly not acknowledging our presence waiting outside the main door. Booking time arrived. Still closed and locked (and looking through window they didn't look like they were close to opening). Tried knocking. No answer. Tried phoning. No answer. Not even to apologise for running late. Booking time came and went. We gave up and left. If the website allows a time to be booked, and I book a specific time then I expect the restaurant to BE OPEN AND READY BY THAT TIME. And since this cost a long train ride into London, its not something I will risk again."

"we visited this restaurant as part of a family birthday meal. the food was moderate and there was no seasoning compared to some Turkish restaurants we visited. in addition, the service was slow. After the end of the meal we were informed that the entire meal. on a card, we were not informed yet. as a result of our overall experience, we informed a female employee member that we did not want to pay the service fee on the bill she reacted to: “You African people never want to pay their bill.” at this point we were outraged and insulted by this statement it was both racist and ignorant and not what they would expect and definitely put a complete damper in the evening. there was a very polite young male member of the staff who was very apologetic about the comments his colleague had made at this point, but the harm had already happened. the bill was finally settled and we were allowed to share the bill on request. this restaurant must clearly look at the employees they employ, as these comments negatiw enter into the business. the declaration was disgusting and I would not expect these remarks to be accepted or even tolerated in 2022 by every worker."

"a very pleasant surprise, as we did not expect much when we first looked at it. from the outside it doesn't look so much and the place is tired and needs an overhaul. but eating was absolutely great. we tried 7 snuck, I'm not sure we have exactly what we ordered, but it was delicious and my only complaining that I would overhale. very fast service as well as considering that the owner did everything himself on this day. bonus points for the administration to make my son happy with eating as he can really be picky."

"Although we have enjoyed good meals at this restaurant in the past, our latest experience was not as satisfactory. The bread was not warm, and the food was not as hot as it should have been, likely because it had cooled down. Additionally, sitting near the door in a cooler area did not contribute to a positive dining experience. The service was good, but overall, the evening fell short of our previous visits to this establishment."

"Visited today and yesterday for breakfast when staying in the area. The food was perfect! . I prefer my scrambled eggs soft and the request is rarely granted, but I was delighted to say that here it was and served with a smile too. What a wonderful little place this is. The menu selection is extensive but not overwhelming and I observed that the serving staff took time to take orders. Thank you team Cappadocia! I highly recommend if anyone happens to be in the area! PS The coffee was also great!"

"The problem with Vancouver is the halal scene is poor. Accustomed to halal fine dining in London , UK I may be slightly critical of Vancouver. My husband read that this restaurant had newly opened and from the pictures on social media the restaurant looked promising although certainly not fine dining. We both went last weekend with great expectations and we were really let down both with the decor of this place and the food. We ordered the soup, fattoush salad and hummus with meat as starters. For the mains We ordered a chicken dish on flat bread (a palestinain dish called musakhan) and a kofte dish as our mains. The starters and my MAIN dish came together with the server saying they were very busy and could not serve the starters separately. We started on our starters BUT I could not really enjoy as I was afraid my mains would get cold ... and to be honest it was not really warm when it arrived at the table anyway. The starters were good but I had to rush so that I could start on my mains. The Muskhan dish was disappointing luke warm and tasteless. My husband was still waiting for his mains but gave up and finished off the 3 starters. Then his mains came but we had to refuse it because it arrived simply too late. Oh and at the beginning my husband had ordered tea but that never came and the usual jug of water was not placed on our table either. The manager owner did apologise and he did not charge for my husband's mai dish, took 25% off the bill and gave my husband tea. But the point is we trekked from downtown Vancouver to what we hoped would prove to be an enjoyable dinner but it was poor. The decor is poor with a water fountain which is small and takes up needless space. I was disappointed with this restaurant but it was very busy (they do not take bookings) and I think you have to stick to ordering their standard mixed grill and this may be their dish which is good."

"Open late! Never fails me for a great end-of-the-night kebab. Have not ventured much beyond this and the hummus/other dips/tabouleh/halloumi which is all standard fare for this chain, but of those things none are ever a let down and the portions are extremely generous. Great juice as well, always friendly staff and wickedly tangy garlic sauce. The menu is actually quite substantial and they have a number of dishes which you don't see in every Lebanese establishment. Have yet to try, but they sound tempting."

"this is one of my favorite restaurants in bournemouth, eating is alway tasty, there is always a new dish to try and the family that owns the place are so friendly and teach always mine man and I eat new meals. we still have a meal that we do not fully enjoy and have never starved, as we have a hard time to stop because it is just too good. I recommended it to all we know.l and whenever friends try to convert them! it is so refreshing to go into a restaurant that is proud of its eating and aromas. it is a must go to the restaurant in bournemouth!"

"beautiful. what a beautiful place. we rarely dare over the road to trongate, but when we do, we have always made a note to go to this place. we were on Saturday night. the place was really busy so I would recommend the booking. when we arrived, there was a waiting queue from the door of men waiting to show their tables. they enter through a curtain and the dimly illuminated restaurant. everyone looked really happy and was happy to eat. the only mistake was a fairly dry pasta main. they also have the attached cafe e2 and they are connected by a corridor so that they can go there for a drink while waiting for their table. we would definitely return to esca."

"Excellent food and for a very reasonable price we had the tasting menu and were very happy with our dishes. The atmosphere was nice; busy but not so loud we couldn't hear ourselves. Service was excellent except for one mix up, but the situation was dealt with very well by the staff. We'll definitely come back!"

"After hearing great reviews and being a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, I decided to give this restaurant a try. I was disappointed with the slow service, as the waitress took 5 minutes to come and take my order even though the restaurant was empty. The starter I had ordered did not arrive as requested, and a different starter appeared with the bread that was supposed to come with my main course. To make matters worse, my main course arrived before I had even touched my starter, and my drink was never served. When I pointed out the mistakes to the waitress, she brought the wrong item and did not seem to understand the issues. The person who I assumed was the manager also did not address the problems effectively. Despite the decent quality of the food, the overall experience was disappointing and marred by poor service. Additionally, I was charged for the incorrect starter that was brought to me twice."

"My wife and I had dinner here using a Groupon voucher £49 for three courses each and a glass of either Prosecco or Aperol Spritz). It was a set menu but still plenty to choose from. Some higher-end dishes attracted a surcharge but this wasn’t excessive. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough. Standard hotel restaurant decor. The staff were extremely welcoming and provided excellent service. The food wasn’t much to write home about though sadly. Lovely hot bread was served with our Prosecco which was in a beautiful glass it must be said). Starters were the best course. I had salt and pepper squid with a chilli jam which was very good and my wife had cauliflower and keens cheddar soup which was served with a big cheesy croutons which she loved. I opted to pay a surcharge for the rib eye steak for main course which I asked for rare. Now I expect rare to be hot and seared on the outside whilst still **** in the middle. What I got was a just about lukewarm grey piece of meat which, the fat of which had not been rendered so was still like jelly. Inside the meat was dry and on the blue side of rare. It wasn’t particularly tasty I don’t think it has been seasoned before cooking) and certainly wasn’t ****. I regularly cook steak at home and sear and seal it on a hot griddle pan so that it has a nice char but it is still juicy inside. It’s easily done. For pudding I had the lemon tart with clotted cream which was average. My wife had date pudding essentially sticky toffee pudding) which was dry but sitting on a pool of sickeningly sweet sauce. Again, average. It was an enjoyable experience in general for the money paid but not somewhere I’d return to in a hurry or pay full price for."

"The restaurant staff blatantly lied to my husband and I just to refuse service to us, because we aren't white! I have given star because I can't give a negative one.To give a background, I used to pass by this restaurant many times and noticed it was always empty even though it looked nice. A couple of days ago, I understood exactly why! We walked in here at PM on a Saturday and the restaurant had no customers except a white elderly couple. Since this looks like a fairly casual place (and also because no staff was in sight) we proceeded inside and were just about to help ourselves to a table. Just as we were about to sit, this waiter walked out of the kitchen and very rudely asked what we were doing there "Hi, hello, what do you want Despite him being so rude, we asked if we could have table for two. Now this place has at least tables, each capable of seating at least people, and of these only one table was occupied with one elderly couple. Remember it was also only PM, far for peak hours. The waiter told us that ALL the tables were reserved. When I asked if all the tables were reserved, he said all of them were. When I asked him till what time, he said for all evening. Now this restaurant is open till in the night. I looked around and saw no reserved tags. He was clearly lying.We made our way out. If you believe every human should be respected irrespective of colour, class or creed, avoid this restaurant like the plague!"
