"We experienced the most incredible Caribbean cuisine at this restaurant. We savored dishes such as salt fish croquettes, Trinidadian doubles, oxtail stew, goat curry, and jerk chicken. The bold and spicy flavors were absolutely fantastic. The oxtail stew was a standout, with a rich gravy filled with tender meat and butter beans that paired perfectly with the rice and peas. The jerk chicken was outstanding, boasting a smoky flavor while remaining juicy. Each main dish was served with plantains and a side salad. Despite the amazing food, we were surprised to find the restaurant was not very busy. We were so impressed by the food that we devoured it too quickly to even take photos. We highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Visited Polish Kitchen this evening for a family birthday. There is seating inside but it’s best to book. We ordered our food and drinks, everything arrived promptly. Our starters were the kielbasa delicious with hunks of bread and mustard, smoked salmon and potato pancakes fresh, tasty pancakes with a decent helping of smoked salmon on top, and the black pudding with bread and sour cucumber delicious. Main courses were bigos and mash rich, tasty, full of flavour, pierogi’s which were surprisingly light and delicious two of us had these and we both added salt and pepper but I appreciate this is a personal choice, the brigands pancake was huge! a massive potato pancake with beef stew and fresh salads. We were tasting one another’s dishes and everything was delicious. One of us had the ham hock and it was a vast hunk of meat, tender, rich, falling off of the bone with cabbage alongside. We finished with warm Polish apple pie with ice cream, custard and cream. Wow! is all I can say. Everything was accompanied by a selection of Polish beer which I’m told was very good too. I honestly can’t recommend Polish Kitchen enough. Give it a go, you’ll get friendly service, damn good home cooked food, and you’ll leave with a full belly and be pleasantly surprised at the price."

"Absolutely amazing. My first Turkish restaurant experience. All the food was top notch. The service was second to none. Extremely busy which shows how popular it is. Oxford is lucky to have Antep. We will be back."

"visited paul’s oxford today as i own my own business, and i had over 50 online orders to complete and process so i knew it was going to be a long day and needed somewhere cosy, warm and full off coffee! started my day off with a delicious caramel latte one gentleman was so kind and very well mannered explaining the different drinks options available to me, in the moment i felt like more of a friend as opposed to a customer, and the other gentleman in the store delivered my coffee with some beautiful latte art! there was such a variety of different food options available and elegantly displayed and i was advised on which ones are both customer and staff favourites which was very helpful i went for the raspberry delice which was delicious!!! from the moment i entered the store i felt very warmly welcomed by the 3 staff members staff were very presentable and talkative and the overall ambiance of the store was calm, any queues that appeared throughout the day were dealt with swiftly and with the same diligence through each order/customer. will be recommending to family, friends, and my blooming businesses customers!"

"We booked a table after seeing the high tripadvisor ratings for this restaurant. When we arrived (7pm on a weekend evening) we were the only people in there! We enjoyed our meals, although they only made 3 of the 4 meals we had ordered and we had to ask about the final one. They didn't admit they had forgotten it and it turnoed up another 10 minutes later with no apology for the delay. 3 of the 4 meals were excellent. The 4th was very disappointing. Didn't feel that staff were particularly attentive given that we were the only ones there. Food was tasty, so would probably choose to eat from there again, but would go for the takeaway option instead."
