Anica in Cherwell

BAD SERVICE BAD QUALITY AND QUANTITY I recently visited Anica Restaurant, and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. Here’s why: Food: The quality of the food was below expectations. Service: The service was another letdown. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

There food quality is very bad. They can't deliver food properly also those stuff is not smart.

not as nice as usual very bland in taste not much meat in the curries .

Just so late. It was anticipated to arrive at 20:35 it arrived at 21:25. Who wants to eat at at half 9 at night!?

It was easy to navigate to the menu and order. Food arrived before the specified time and was really hot and delicious. Will definitely be ordering again soon.

Wasn’t sure if you still gave free poppadoms as I used to get 1 or 2 for free but didn't this time. I would have ordered a couple If I knew they wasn’t free after spending over £32 overall very nice meal. Thanks.

Lovely meal Ime visiting from Essex

Order never arrived! 2.5 hours waiting. I called twice and was told half an hour each time then they didn’t want to refund me. It’s a shame because the food is decent

I haven’t had a takeaway from here for years so I was really looking forward to our meal. The meal arrived on time (according to the email) but that was the only plus. The starters were nothing like what they were supposed to be like and the main meal curries tasted very bland indeed. Overall a very disappointing meal - please go elsewhere!

Food was really nice, great taste and portions

burnt prawns, and 6 pieces of lamb swimming in sauce, I binned the food as its unedible £40 wasted, if you can't make a profit on a delivery site, don't even bother advertising the restaurant on here.

Good but naan bread wasn't cooked.

The food arrived late 39 mins past the latest time slot and was cold by the time it arrived. The quality was poor and such a shame because I used to love Anica

I ordered lemonade bottle it was missing 🫤

Aside from being 25 minutes late, which i usually dont mind about. 60% of the food was inedible! Chicken tikka massala was clearly out of date, absolutely stunk and tasted vile! Naan breads all undercooked. Mixed kebab dry and burnt. Driver very ru

Nans were under cooked and masala didn’t taste right

Butter Chicken tased incredible! All the food was fantastic, will be ordering from here again!

Had food from here many times over the last 2 years. Up until my last 2 orders the food has been excellent and delivery on time. However, for my last 2 orders the deliveries have both been over an hour late! This is not acceptable. Food is great but delivery time lets it down massively unfortunately.

Almost an hour late and stone cold when it arrived. So disappointed. The naan bread wasn’t cooked properly and the dough was still wet. We left half of everything. I’ll try somewhere else next time

Delicious food. Just right spice levels. Excellent range and choice. Anita is back to its best!

Ordered at 6:03pm confirmed delivery between 6:40/7:00 and eventually turned up at 7:52 and had to be heated up in the microwave. I get when you’re 10/20 mins late but we’re only 15 mins away from the restaurant and was told that food was on the way over 50 mins before it arrived

The food arrived on time, but this was the most disappointing meal I think we've ever had from Anica. The sauce on the currys was uninteresting, the meat was tough. I hope this is a temporary blip and it will be back to the normal high standards next time we order.

tasty food, arrived within the time frame given and was hot.

Had a recent order and it was superb. Tried again and had wrong meat in curry and wrong rice. Sag aloo was over cooked like mash. Unfortunate.

"Leave it to the chef" option was plentiful & delicious

The time that Just Eat has as having food delivered is incorrect I phoned the restaurant at 20:53 to tell them that I had just received my food which was COLD! Having reheated the food it tasted good but a restaurant that does not tell the truth is not good. No offer of a refund just a discount if I book direct next time!

Great food and prompt delivery

The food was great, delivery driver very nice and apologised for the food being slightly late. Very good service!

Anica is a great for Indian food. The atmosphere is okay, and the flavors are good. Service was good. If you're in the mood for Indian, it's worth a try.

This is the first time we’ve used Anica as the usual Indian restaurant we used had now closed and we needed to find a new one! We found this service to be really good, and we were served with a friendly face when I walked into the restaurant. The Takeaway food was absolutely fantastic, and we will be using the services of Anica in the future

Bit disappointed as yet again no pickle tray ????? But I ordered two

Very good and tasty food, friendly staff.. nice atmosphere!!

The staff were generally polite, although perhaps they need to exercise a bit more decorum when presenting the bill; not allowing the customer enough time to scrutinise the list of items is not good practice! Particularly when there had already been a discrepancy earlier when we’d to remind them of missing items. The food was very average and the spicy dishes not spicy at all. Of course you can request it to be made hotter but that would simply involve chucking in additional spice which isn’t the same as the dish being actually cooked in it from the start. The restaurant itself smelled of damp/mould and the toilets were not cleaned property. In the ladies there was evidence of dried vomit (or something very similar) around the washbasin for example. With so many Indian restaurants to choose from in the town you would expect that those who want to be the best of the bunch would make an effort. Sadly Anica doesn't fall within that category and we will not be returning, or even using it for a take away in the future.

The food quality is deteriorated over the days. Ordered king prawns send different order. Overall not satisfactory 😕

I have been a customer for a long time, have seen it change hands and the food has been good. Our previous order prior to this was at best average. Don’t know what changed but it was disappointing. This order really was one of the worst curries I have ever experienced. The Buhna was bland, supposedly vegetarian but was noticeably not particularly good. The Dayak was not fit to eat. Incredibly sweet not sweet and sour as it should be. It slopped onto the plate and could be described as soup not a

Lovely food! Thank you also to your kind delivery driver who helped me catch an injured cat 🐈

Food was cold and late and poor quality

few tiny bits of lamb more of a vegetable curry but tasted nice and garlic naan was 2x plain

Only went for a takeaway decided to eat in and had a terrific dinner. Highly recommend will definitely go back.

1st ever just eat order after moving into a village. Amazing food and service will definitely use again. Brilliant value for money!

Rats upstairs plus the chef doesn't wash his hands after a toilet ...was sick for 2 days afterwards

Food was good but cold as 45 minutes late

king prawns slightly overcooked but still tasted amazing , great meal

This takeaway was awful I paid for very little meat abundance of watered down sauces and reheated food it went in the bin ! Absolutely awful

Most of the food was delish just that some of the lamb was really more fat than meat. Also missing the chutneys.

Unfortunately the food as overcooked burnt rice and 25 mins late very disappointed

Been for the 4th time and it was amazing! Never had a bad meal there. Service was great as well as the food. A proper little gem off the beaten track. Thank you

It arrived just in time with 2 minutes to spare. It was only warm and we didn’t get the Brinjal Bhaji ordered or any salad, chutneys and raita to go with the onion bhaji and popudums. Bit disappointed not the usual we have received from Anica in the past

Me and my partner went out for dinner, food was absolutely delicious and service great. Highly recommended

Friendly delivery lovely food every time.

Absolutely aweful butter chicken, full of coconut which shouldn't be anywhere near it. It was basically a korma!

We have been pleasantly surprised at the quality Anica Restaurant deliver delivers. 10/10!

Fantastic food as usual, will definitely be eating from there again in the future!

Lovely little restaurant, great food, great service, reasonable prices, Staff very friendly. We be back soon. 😎

It's a really nice place to eat, the staff are very helpful and friendly.

No mango chutney with the poppadoms! Other than that nice food. Arrived on time

Really tasty and happy with it on arrival!

Excellent food and service. Very attentive without being overly in your face every 5 minutes. Extremely tasty and portion sizes were perfect. Nice to see a restaurant provide decent portions! Would highly recommend eating in so you experience the service. We would not have found this without our Taxi driver giving us some guidance as the restuarant is not sign posted anywhere. When you see Poundland, there is an alleyway next to it. The signs above the alleyway say toilet. Don’t walk past it! Go through the alleyway and you enter a square. The restaurant is on your right as soon as you get to the square.

The food was good but the vegetable curry was missing making the biryani very dry and it spoiled the experience

One of the main dishes was wrong. Too spicy for us all. Naan breads were burned.

My partner ordered a takeaway tonight and they got our order wrong. I ordered chicken tikka masala and although it said it on the packet it certainly wasn't CM. It was extremely spicy and tasted nothing like it. My partners order was correct however, his food leaked in all of ours. Rice and my main dish that was wrong. Naan breads were both burnt. This used to be our favourite place but they've massively gone downhill. This isn't the first time they've messed our order. It has put us off now ordering from them again as its been to many times. We were also promised a phone call from the manager for refund but we haven't heard anything!! Definitely avoid.

1st time ordering , great traditional food

Easy to order, great food, good delivery just one error on the order as a plain naan was sent instead of a keema naan!

Food was never delivered. When I phoned the restaurant they made up some ridiculous story about the driver phoning many times. Restaurant refused to refund. An absolute disgrace!!! Owe £55! Will never use them again.

Firstly, I believe the description on each item on the menu should be more descriptive. We ordered one of the chef's special dishes and it came out to be made with coconut. Nothing suggested it would contain coconut. Then I asked for hot for my rice dish and I can confirm it was not hot. It tasted the same as the mild one ordered. The drink I ordered was missing too. The food came 30 minutes late but when we called the restaurant they did apologise.

Do not order from ancia.Absolutely terrible service. You will be lucky to get your food. They use thier own delivery drivers.I wasted 2 hours for their food, after 2 hours I cancelled my order. The main thing is they are not giving any proper response.

Always great food and great delivery time. Have ordered many times and always impressed! :)

Super kind! Great service; lovely and hot! Thank you :)

Do not order a delivery from here. We tried last night and they missed out part of the order. We called to complain and they clearly didn’t care. There was no apology. It took over an hour before they sent the missing item and by the time we received it it was stone cold. I would never use them again because of the fact they didn’t care at all with no attempt to apologise. We had to ring them again after waiting a hour to receive the missing item and then it took another 15 mins before it arrived and it was stone cold. Service was abysmal - avoid like the plague!!!!!!

Good evening all I looked at reviews for this restaurant but iam glad to say who ever writes comments like them they are totally wrong my brother and myself and the wife been going there for at least 4 years with no complaints,we going shopping at outlet for 2days then have curry we think it’s excellent food and friendly staff .

A dreadful Indian restaurant! Place is quite scruffy and the food was awful, a group of 9 of us all agreed it wasn't very good at all , I had a chicken madras which was definitely not freshly made and was out of a packet or tin it tasted very much like a Chinese curry mix . We Definitely won't be going back ! And have just realised it only has a 3 star food hygiene rating!

Food was nice but nam bread was cold and they forgot my drink

Food was cold taste was ok but not be best

I ordered this food at half past six and still not received it

Driver couldn't find us and wasn't clear on the phone. In fairness there was a confusion with another delivery driver in the area. Food was lukewarm, starters were lovely and naan was brilliant but mains were meh.

Great food. Definitely will order again from here.

The Indian food I ordered was delivered with a delay of 40 minutes, and upon its arrival, I discovered that it was served cold. Furthermore, one of the packages had leaked slightly, affecting the rest of the contents. This experience tarnished what was supposed to be a mid-week treat.

Friendly delivery and great food.

It's often said that there are four or five foodie staples that you simply must find when moving to a new area. Unsurprisingly, a good curry house is one of these, and Anica is this for me; the food is delicious, portions are generous, and prices are good. I've had a couple of disappointing experiences with other Indian restaurants in the area (nothing major, just some watery sauces, high prices for what you get, and the like) but no such concern with Anica; thoroughly recommend.

Execellent quality, again from Anica. It’s our number pick from any Indian restaurant/take away in Bicester.

Very nice food - delivered on a Saturday night took 1 hour. Would reccommend the chicken Ada tasted absolutely amazing. Spent about £15 pp without drinks. One of the better Indians in the area but not the best (that would be zaara).

The food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be ordering again from here.

Food was good, but missing the naan.

Still haven't received my food. Order placed over hour ago....

The lamb was mainly fat and the onion baji was not cooked in the middle

Excellent food and such a friendly delivery person.

This has now become my go-to Curry Restaurant in Bicester, delicious food, friendly staff and quick. Looking forward to my next visit!

Curry wasn’t very spicy even though ordered medium and didn’t have many lentils in it.

Delivery was early and the lady was so polite, and food was so hot, fresh and delicious. Will recommend to friends and definitely order from there again!

Great food, on time and super hot.

We ordered through Just eat for an order to be delivered to our hotel whilst working in the area. Food was plentiful, hot and tasted ok, however it was very late being delivered and we so tired we had gone past being hungry. The delivery driver was cheery enough though.

Cheerful delivery driver and food was excellent

Delicious food - particularly mixed kebab starter and chicken tandoori starter. Great portion sizes (we took leftovers home). Also, very friendly staff.

I love the food from here, so tasty and such good quality.

Fast delivery was benefit to our late order. Delicious food madras nice and spicy, chicken butter very close to korma but all tasty

Missing a naan bread from our order.How do I get reimbursed?

Decided to treat my family who were visiting from Australia. It was just perfect. Thankyou

I did explain I had an allergy to peppers ! But the food came with peppers in. Fortunately I noticed before eating, or it could have been a different story!
