Jee Saheb in Oxford

I went to the restaurant with 2 of my friends with prior reservation. The first waiter who addressed me was polite and nice. Later on, two older waiters came in and they were very rude. They were constantly checking us as if we were just sitting there wasting time. When we placed the order (2 Biriyani and one veg dish), it took them 40min to serve. We asked them if we can have some chai in between and they said they can't handle this much order in the kitchen.So we waited till the food was served. I am Bangladesh and my friends are from India and Iran. By our standard, the biriyani was 4/10. Very much under-salted and the spices have not simmered well enough into the meat/veg. Moreover we paid around 50GBP for this food. I would have been okay with the food if the service was nice. But, at the end, I was equally appalled at the service and the dishes. In my opinion, they should work on the service first. Regarding biriyani, it feels like a westernised version of the real thing.

Excellent food, excellent service. Really nice people, who were very patient and courteous despite our very late arrival. Thanks a lot.

Amazing curry and chilli paneer. Well done guys. Special thanks to the chef. Tasted great. I ordered chilli paneer, chicken tikka, tarka daal, chicken bryani and garlic naan. Unbelievable. Thank you.

Jee Saheb is one of my favorite restaurants in Oxford! Great Indian food

Amazing food and amazing hospitality. We have never ever been let down on anything here. The quality of the food is top notch, nothing is drowned in oil, it’s very flavoursome and fresh. Fantastic location in a beautiful street. By far the best Indian in town. Thank you guys for always keeping the standards so high.

3rd time my husband and i have eaten here 2017,back today for my husband Scott 60th birthday,money well spent food excellant nan bread best ive tasted & ive visted many indian restaurants around the country. Lovely staff

There was a lot of effort put into service and food. I would say it has a good takeaway food vibe but I’m terms of it being delivered in a restaurant it missed the mark for me.

On NYE we ordered a takeaway for collection. It took almost an hour to be ready, despite being told 40 mins over the phone and unfortunately everything was cold and we had to microwave it at home. Additionally, the curries were flavourless and watery. For the premium price you pay at Jee Saheb, we were really disappointed.

Thought the food was quite good, although could’ve used more salt. One server was really great, the other kept telling us the “kitchen was too busy” for stuff even though there were only three other tables occupied.. what? Don’t you want your kitchen busy?? That put us off a bit.The tea came with some sweets which was appreciated, even though we couldn't get the chai (kitchen was too busy for that!!) sitting outside was lovely, next door doing jazz on a Sunday night was really nice. We were happy, but it could've been better with the service. We sat for twenty minutes when we arrived with nothing... No one coming... No water.

a) It is not an Indian restaurant. Indian food doesn't taste like this - it is diverse and has got some flavour. At best, it can be close to Bengali food! But more on Bangladeshi side, because that's what my friends from Indian Bengal would say.b) I went with great hope after having read some decent reviews because I was missing food from my part of the world but this was the coldest (rude and unfriendly) place i've been to, in all of the UK - so far! Alas! The staff misbehaved, and pretty much got into a quarrel with me over something that i asked about food. It was just bizarre and uncalled for!c) The food barely had any taste! The only thing that was nice was the naan and I am sure that's not so much of rocket science.
