Majliss in Oxford

We eat out a lot and have been to restaurants all over the world and I can say without a doubt that this the WORST restaurant we’ve ever been to. There were about 20 of us and not one person had anything good to say about the food.The meats were old and boiled and then all cooked in the same sauce. So every dish was virtually the same. The spices in the dishes were not cooked properly so you just ended up crunching raw spices and raw chilli powder. This made the dishes just taste of nothing but chilli and they were inedible. Even the king prawn puri starter tasted the same and was too greasy, with only one finely chopped prawn in it. I honestly could have done better with a can of dog food and a bottle of chilli sauce. Because we had paid a ridiculous amount of money for such terrible food, we didn’t want to leave it so we had it packed to take it away with us for our dogs. Between us, we have 7 dogs and using it as a dog food mixer is all it’s fit for.We were going to cut a birthday cake after the meal, but we just wanted to get out of there, so we went back home to cut the birthday cake. Dealing with an obnoxious waiter was bad enough, but then the head waiter made matters worse when we paid the bill. He DEMANDED a tip!!! He was lucky we even paid for that muck and we would have gladly given a tip without being asked, if the food was any good.Here’s a tip I’m gladly giving… Either get a chef who can cook, get better waiters or call in an official receiver for bankruptcy. Take pride in your work, so people will show their appreciation and you won’t have to demand tips.Here’s a tip for anyone reading this… Avoid this place. Don’t waste your time and money.

Cannot recommend this place enough: went on a Monday evening and it was quite quiet. The atmosphere is very sleek and professional. Service was quick and diligent, servers were kind and obviously very dedicated to giving us a great experience. Were delighted when we received mango chutney on the house with our poppadoms. As for the food, the lamb samosas and onion bhajis were delicious and crispy. For mains my partner and I had chicken korma and tikka masala. They were incredible, and packed full of flavour without being too spicy. The korma base was deliciously sweet and coconut-y. Additionally, loved the mango Lassi drink, it tasted like a creamy mango yoghurt/milkshake. I'll definitely be going again and bringing more friends.

Food barely warm and a couldn't care less attitude from the waiter. Did get offered a free drink by manager but chose to leave. First and very last visit.

Curry was bland, naan average, rice was decent, not the worst curry I’ve had but many better places to go in Oxford

Ordered through deliveroo and food was delivered when they said it would and was to a good standard. All the food ordered was full of flavour. Good selection from the menu including the usual suspects and others not in some establishemnts.

Was highly recommended from a friend.Will not bring going again and wish I had read the reviews before hand as had the same experience.Lots of people getting mixed messages when arriving about the online system being down.Took over an hour for the waiter to Come back and explain they had no king prawns thenWaited over an hour for our starters to which we left.2 others table received there starters before we got out but arrived after us.Plenty of Deliveroo and takeaway was leaving the premises.One waiter in there doesn’t seem to have a clue what is going on.Having a nice venue is a treasure they will loose it before long. Read the reviews before arriving

Words alone cannot express this restaurant. Fantastic staff and very good food. Minimumlistic decor, but nice. Could eat there every day.

Best Indian takeaway in Oxford, good service and consistency great food across the menu. Good for large parties too.

Okay so Saturday night maybe not the best time to go. However an hour wait between starter and main wasn't good. The attitude of the gentleman that finally brought our meals was at best questionable. The dish my partner ordered was missing ingredients principly aubergine. The yogurt rahita was decidedly dodgy.All pointed out at the time too. It seemed as if the waiters could either not hear what was being said or couldn't understand what we were asking. Will not recommend nor be in any hurry go back there.

Food was excellent, however we were overcharged to a deceptive degree and when I sat with the waiter and went through an itemised bill, we had been overcharged the waiter accepted that he had overcharged and did not apologise, just said ‘fine pay then’. So rude bad service and borderline charlatanism. The other tables we were next to feel they had been overcharged.
