"The New Anand is how I remember Indian restaurants the decor is a mixture of Rennie Macintosh and a minimalist scheme executed by the set designers of Barbie after a night on the razz. The exterior resembles the typical Victorian ferry buildings you find on the end of a pier walking through the door is like stepping into your silver Delorean to find yourself emerging into the late 70 's early 80 's ... the menu is wonderfull with at least 2 versions of every curry you can name, they still give you popadoms and spicy onions to munch on as you attempt to navigate/decode a menu which would confound Alan Turing and the team at Bletchley Park however the food itself is utterly divine. Tandoori tikka mix is arrives sizzling and its big chunks of succulent fizzling chicken reeking of fresh herbs and spices. The korma ordered arrived as a hot dish of creamy brown heaven, medium sized chunks of chicken cooked perfectly in a smooth sweet coconut and spice sauce not one single drop was left by the end. The fried rice was as full of flavor as it was colourful, and moist, despite a search no one single dry chunks stuck together could be found. Portions outrageously generous, there is a buffet option (bain marie) which was gorgeously aromatic, fragrant and piping hot numerous plates passed by bulging with an impressive mixture of utterly delicious helpings. The drinks were decent and affordable, from rose wine to a perfunctory range of spirits for beer aficionados they do have the amber stuff chilled on draught. Visit often, enjoy the food, savour the moment, you will find New Anand a rare drama free oasis of calm no loud people on phones taking plate pictures for their TikTok/Instagram/Meta followers here. Curry fans are strongly encouraged to take a trip Back to the Future before it is, one day, lost to the past. 5 Marty McFly stars Update just as brilliant as Doc Brown 's design for the flux capacitor, the dishes are as fresh as if they had just been delivered by a kid on hover board. Starter platter for two is highly recommended, as is any of the delicious vegetarian curries best described as simple and superb. Update 4/24 reads exactly as above 5 Groundhog Day stars"

"I ended up driving to pick up the food! I eat here usually but all the dishes were not good today! disappointing waste of money. meat was tough the naan bread was solid and dry. won't eat there again after tonight! ordered at 5.35 and had a phone call at 6.40 saying my food would be another 30 mins after it was supposed to be out on delivery for 6.25... so I said I would drive to collect! waste of time and money!"

"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!"

"went here recently after a few years. on Sunday evening .was quite busy but pleasant. the service was very warm and good. rated Indian cuisine everywhere and need to say the quality and taste is pretty good...ja a bit more expensive than others. but that tends to follow rest and branding I guess....all need to recommend...a pionier who continues to churn out of good means of life"

"The wife and I ordered several dishes but one that cost nearly nine pound had only some noodles and a bit of chicken in it. I contacted the restaurant to complain and the manager was most unhelpful borderline aggressive and said to contact Deliveroo as they could not help. I suggested that Deliveroo were probably not responsible for the quality size of food leaving their kitchen but the manager was not having it and hung up on me. Please see the photo if you want to pay £9 for this dish"

"Never again! Have not been there for 10 years and will Never go back. Not sure who paid you to write those amazing reviews or you never had any quality food and good service in you life probably. This is place is far from fine dining! Waiters come and go to your table in bunches, like 5 were servicing us on Valentine’s Day 2023. Only manager made and eye contact and somehow cared. The rest do not make any eye contact and look tired and fed up. Food is supermarket quality not joking) overprice and takes ages to get cooked and service is below 0. I never write reviews for restaurants unless I want to either warn people or really recommend a good place! In this care warning do not water your time and money."

"I ordered from this restaurant for the first time. The main dishes had decent flavor but lacked meat content, with very little lamb in the korma and only 7 small 'king' prawns. The most disappointing part of the meal was the burnt and unpleasant-tasting chips, as well as the stale poppadoms, suggesting that the oil used was either old, cheap, or both."

"The Indian meal I had was absolutely fantastic. The lamb bhuna was tender and delicious, and the reshmi kebab was soft, flavorful, and tasty. Every bite was a delight for the taste buds. The variety of tasty dips that accompanied the meal was also impressive, and they were served promptly."

"eating is very good. there was a period in late '11 and early '12 with another cook when it was 't good, so ignore reviews from then. huge and faithfully take away clothes eating in has become a bit a sideline. the staff is a bit cold and detached, but eating it makes it. we eat there about once a month and often bring visitors who all rave over eating. average £15 to £20 per head, depending on how much they drink. try the garlauch chili chicken fantastic."

"Had a lovely meal with the family today at Mr Basrai's. Many choices. Tasty food. Friendly and helpful servers. Great value too. Would certainly recommend. The Mrs and I went back to Mr Basrais for a meal yesterday, first time after it reopened after lockdown and it was lovely! Staff friendly and caring as before. Food delicious as always. Received 50% off as well on food and soft drinks due to the #eatouttohelpout scheme. Loved it! Will visit again towards the end of this month."

"This restaurant is incredibly disappointing. The customer service was the worst I have ever encountered. There is currently a legal case pending against this establishment. I highly recommend spending your money elsewhere. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a rating of 1, indicating a terrible experience."

"So where do I begin.... I thought I 'd try this establishment again after having a good ish experience, this time As a take away. Please understand I live 2 roads away from this restaurant and waited an hour and 5 minutes for my food! Whilst on the phone to an incompetent manager the food was received and was STONE cold! The excuse was given to me from the manager that yes it is only 25 minutes late what is the big problem which I brought to his attention that it was NOT 25 minutes late as I was told 30 minutes remember 1hour 5minutes! I requested a full refund in which I was called by a senior manager who was at home. This coward of a man is rude, unknowledgeable, incompetent and disgusting and is very lucky he has not met me in person! Especially after hanging up on me because he didn 't like it when I made a fool of his solutions as they were totally a joke. He started the conversation by calling me a liar, suggesting I TEXT him my bank details for a refund to which I declined for obvious reason, he then proceeded to shout and try to be sarcastic! Biggest mistake to make and didn 't like it when I put him in his place. Then demanded I never order from him again and that I was wasting my time as his restaurant was the absolute best I the area! HAHAHA funny mate. After an hour of arguing and him contradicting his own points I made sure he understood that receiving my refund immediately was the best solution as I would take this further. I will be seeing him"

"Always incredible food and fantastic service. The staff are always super polite and friendly to my daughter (aged 1), the only thing i would recommend them to improve is to get a high-chair and baby changing station for the toilets as currently they don’t have these in place, so changing my daughter can be tricky and i have to bring a booster seat/table to the restaurant."

"Went tonight with a large group. We were given a wide choice of starters and main courses, plus poppadoms and chutneys and choice of naan breads and rice. Superb food and service. Beautiful decor, atmosphere, Indian music and warmth. We paid a very reasonable group price, and drinks were not expensive either. Would highly recommend as excellent!"

"The food was freezing cold. I had to reheat in the microwave something I prefer not to do. Just eat took 50 minutes to assign a driver in all one hour 30 minutes to arrive. I expect a full refund from you just eat."

"Last night at Varanasi Bar was a wonderful experience, featuring live music with Adrian Paris on stage. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a packed room full of people dancing on the floor. The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. A big shoutout to all the staff and owners for creating this vibrant spot for our local community in Crosspool—no other place compares in terms of ambiance. If you're looking for a lovely evening with great music and delicious curry, this is the place to be. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it fills up quickly. Don't miss out!"

"We visited The Lion 's Inn Restaurant on Tuesday 11th June 2024. For me it was a trip down memory lane, my old Dad used to go there in the 40s and 50s when it was the Cedars and I actually sat in his old seat to have our meal. The meal was absolutely first class we had a starter each which was the size of a main meal. Then I had a Lamb Madras and my wife had a Lamb Shashlik absolutely fabulous, best Madras I 've ever had. The Staff were so friendly and made us very welcome. I highly recommend the Lions Inn. I will never forget that night. Thank you. John and Sue Brady."

"Had an incredible experience, the place has completely changed under the new management since last year. We happened to go in by chance and were really surprised by the great service. The team was very pleasant and brought ice cream for the little one. They were attentive and the taste was very delicious. We ordered the Tawa for two and thinking it may have a small portion ordered one dish extra too but the tawa was quite large."

"Gurkha Village is a well-established restaurant located very close to Oxford. The staff is respectful and attentive to customers' needs, and the service time is excellent. Although the food may not be traditionally Nepali, as it includes more than just the typical Dhal, Bhat, and Takari, the meals are generally very good with generous portions. Most of the dishes were of good quality, except for the Nan bread. It would be nice to see some new menu options and daily specials added to enhance the dining experience. Overall, Gurkha Village is a standout Indian restaurant in the Oxford area that is definitely worth a visit. Thank you."
