Annora in Oxford

Vine aquí en un día laborable para un almuerzo de negocios, y aunque claramente están experimentando algunas reformas, no nos impresionó especialmente la comida: he estado viniendo aquí por más de 35 años y he visto los altibajos de ¡este lugar! Pedí el bocadillo de pescado que venía con patatas fritas y ensalada. Para su crédito, ofrecieron pan marrón o blanco, pero las alitas de pescado utilizadas como relleno deben haber sido las más baratas disponibles y la ensalada era pobre. . . solo algunas hojas verdes sin imaginación ni pensamiento. Para ser justos, mis colegas corderos de Cachemira rogan josh estaban bien, pero podrían haber sido presentados de manera más imaginativa. Luego, al pagar la factura, no solo no tomaron Amex, sino que tuve que hacer transacciones por separado para la comida y las bebidas. El personal era bueno, pero creo que la oferta de alimentos necesita mejorar más temprano que tarde.

We called in to this hotel on a Monday and found that it was two indian meals for the price of one. The waiter and other staff were very helpful in explaining the dishes to us, We had a lovely meal it was very tasty and we really enjoyed the evening. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a good meal. There was plenty of choice on the menu and the meal was very well presented.

Buena comida india e incluso un mejor servicio Muchas ocasiones especiales y ofertas especiales de lunes a viernes Gran gerente en Namit

Lugar encantador para ir en el verano. Asientos fuera. Ideal para familias. La comida está disponible si se quiere. El personal es muy amable. Puedes quedarte aquí. .

Bueno, supongo que lo pedí, ¡no siendo vegano y saliendo con un grupo de personas para comer solo del menú vegano! Sin embargo, tengo una mente bastante abierta y como muy poca carne, ¡pero perder toda la lechería es una experiencia completamente diferente! Una tarta de verdura sin derretir mantequilla en la masa de la boca y solo verduras en una caja de verduras (¿dónde estaba el fondu de tomate?) Era comestible pero francamente aburrida. Me dio un vuelco el corazón cuando vi el menú vegetariano: ¡no me gusta el tofu y solo me quedan verduras / soya! ! Tuve el pastel vegano hecho con soja picada (que recuerda los días de los estudiantes), que era delicioso, pero odio pagar algo que puedo hacer en casa. Las batatas fritas eran deliciosas. Otros miembros de mi grupo disfrutaron de sus varios tofu / veg al curry y estos platos estaban muy bien presentados. En cuanto al pudín, la mayoría eligió la tarta de chocolate, obviamente la misma masa con chocolate fundido que se vierte para producir una sopa de chocolate en el plato, aparentemente sabrosa pero no del todo bien. ! El servicio fue amable pero extremadamente incompetente, a pesar del hecho de que sabían que 8 personas venían a cenar fuera del menú vegano "patatas rellenas" no estaban disponibles y se quedaron sin los pasteles de la casa. El camarero nunca había probado ninguno de los platos, así que no podía aconsejar. A pesar de confirmar el orden salió mal. . . . . e incluso preguntó si queríamos nuestros entrantes antes de nuestro plato principal. . . . un poco de entrenamiento necesario allí. . . . aún así, ¡nos dio algo de lo que reírnos! ! No puedo comentar sobre el menú estándar, todo lo que puedo decir es que si te vas a quedar en el hotel y estás demasiado cansado para salir, la comida está bien, pero me mantendré alejado de la comida vegana en el futuro (igual aburrido) ! ! !

We had a family buffet lunch for 15 adults and 5 children in the restaurant. Namit was very helpful in helping us decide what to have, how to set the room out and ensuring everyone had the food they had ordered. It was relaxed and professional with good service, tasty food and friendly staff. We all enjoyed it, ranging in ages from 1 to 87!

My wife and I visited The Tree/Annora restaurant today. The food was brilliant with a great variety of dishes. You can select from the carvery (lovely roast spuds), today it was beef and pork (cracking crackling) A variety of salads. And/or salad selection of curries - fish coconut, lamb rogon Josh, and vegetarian curries. Also chicken in white wine sauce, pork in szechuan sauce... And even pasta. With such variations and food of such quality you can't go wrong.

We attended here as a party of 12 on Christmas Day and could not have been more disappointed. The entire experience was awful from start to finish. 1. After being seated we were not told that starters were being bought to the table, we had to ask what was happening on more than one occasion. 2. The queue's for the self service buffet were horrendous and no stuffing or pigs in blankets left for many of our party. 3. The quality of the roast dinner was shocking.... Frozen, hard roast potatoes, frozen vegetables that had not been cooked correctly and meat so tough you could break a window with it. 4. When we made it through to dessert it didn't get much better, 3 arrived to start with and the following came approx 15 minutes later. 5. The restaurant was overcrowded, many of our chairs being knocked when people passing and some of us were sat behind a door. 6. Asked for coffee 3 times which we never received. They then had the cheek to add a service charge to the bill for a self service buffet and the worst service possible. We have since been so upset by this that we have complained to the restaurant but they have refused to compensate us with a refund and have offerred us a free Sunday lunch!!! Why on earth would we want to go back??? When we spoke with somebody about our disappointment he was pretty rude and dismissed anything we had complained about. Don't believe any positive review on this, we spoke with at least 3 other large parties who also said it was awful. We understand that this was one of the cheaper Christmas Day meals but we have eaten better quality food at macdonalds! Thank you to the Tree for ruining our family Christmas meal.

We were looking for an Indian and luckily found this one very close to where we were staying. The food was brilliant all very tasty!! What was very odd is the 'restaurant' is set in a very British pub/hotel and in the same room as the bar. Just a bit odd for good Indian food to be in that setting. There was also a wedding in the function room which was fine but as the bar was in the 'restaurant' Everyone was coming back and forth for drinks which didn't create a nice atmosphere for the great food! Lastly, while I was happy with my curry there wasn't a huge selection of curries on offer.

Really good food in a lovely location in Iffley Village. The onion bhajis and naan breads are always freshly made and the curries are really tastey. The team at the Tree are great and service is always good; you're always made to feel welcome. Recommended for a nice meal in a quaint, romantic area.

(Tree hotel) Looking for lunch on long journey and what a treat this was. I had black lentil curry which was excellent and the pilau rice was amazing, fresh and fragrant. Partner had a burger which he didn't rave about so much, but it was good. Too full to try anything else. Good strong coffee as well. Dogs allowed inside and outside pub area, lots of veggie choice. Will try and pass by again at a mealtime. Lovely walk along river nearby.

Booked a table with my partner for half past 7 in the evening. We left at 20:45 without receiving a drink food or any form of service. We walked in and was told our table was in the corner near the door. We wasn't even seated. 30 minutes later my partner went to the bar and asked for menus. 15 minutes later we placed our drinks order. After waiting 30 more minutes we left. We did not receive our drinks. Nor did we even get the opportunity to place a food order. When leaving and telling the staff we are leaving. She shrugged her shoulders. No apology. No expiration. My partner has worked in the trade and I'm fully aware of the stress etc which a restaurant can be put under. But the manners where shocking. This wasn't just us. The table next to us had ordered food also. The received naan breads as part of there meal. We left 20 minutes after they had received there breads and they where still waiting for the rest of there meal.

Arrived without a booking at 7.00pm on a Friday night. We ordered a drink at the bar, and asked for a table for two. The bar was fairly busy four or five tables were set up for dining. We were taken through to the restaurant part of the Hotel in another room. This room was large with a very high ceiling, the ceiling had large cracks and damp patches. The room was stark, and the woodwork looked grubby and it was freezing cold. Also the carpet was dusty throughout. We were the only two diners in there. We ordered an Indian sharing starter. it arrived after a bit of a wait, (we were not offered anymore drinks so we asked for the wine menu).The food was served on a cold plate, the food was lukewarm apart from the fishcake which was so hot it burnt our mouths. We waited some time for someone to come in the room and notice that we had finished our starters. I was just about to get up and look for someone when a gentleman came through and took our plates away. after a glass of wine our mains arrived, my rib-eye steak would have been adequate if I was having a steak sandwich, it was so thin! It came with seven uncooked cherry tomatoes on the vine and a stack of fat chips, the chips looked and tasted like they had been fried in well used oil, they were a horrible dark brown colour! My husband had a few small slices of duck on a bed of garlic mash, served with cherry tomatoes, that again were cold and uncooked. We decided not to have coffee and desserts due to slow service , poor food and lack of ambience. I would definitly not recommend this restaurant So not worth the £71 plus it cost us!

I have visited this restaurant a few times recently for lunch,but sadly I have never been in the area on a Sunday to try out their Sunday lunch Buffet. Until this week that is. I was in the area and decided to go there after being recommended by so many people. I am so glad I did as the food was superb. There was many different starters to choose from. I had the Apple soup followed by Bhaji's and salad,then rice and potato curry and Aubergine curry. I could have chosen from many more dishes but decided to stick to these two as I was enjoying them. being a Vegetarian I find that many places don't give you much choice but here there was lots for me to choose from. There was also a full carvery available to meat eaters. You can have a curry with a Yorkshire pudding on top if you so want to! Speaking to the friendly management staff I was informed that they also offer a similar buffet for Christmas parties which I think is a great idea,as its appealing to many different tastes and dietary requirements. I think this is a perfect venue to hold a Christmas Party in the modern restaurant.

We had another family gathering at The Tree for Sunday lunch today and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and the staff all very friendly and helpful. Many thanks again Namit.

Nice curry but unfortunately not heated up enough so a little lukewarm and onion Bhaji that only arrived with the mains. Nothing special but ok for casual meal. Friendly service and half price night for ladies on Wednesdays! Rice additional on top of cost of main

Just eaten at the the Sunday buffet and the food was excellent! There were lots of different salads to choose from.Tried gazpacho for the first time and was pleasantly surprised, tasty and refreshing. There were several different curries and all were extremely good. There was more than enough choice for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We often eat at The Tree Hotel and today was the best so far. Complements to the chef! Thanks Namit and staff for your welcoming and friendly service.

Nothing to dislike about this place.actually this resturaunt is in a pub called the tree.homely and welcoming with a great menu,a must if visiting Iffley.

Staying down the road and just wanted somewhere within walking distance. Checked TA which threw up Annora - really glad we followed our stomachs.Excellent food and service, marked for a return :)

40 of us went for a meal and although my husband and I use the pub for food regularly most of the family had never been there. Namit and staff do an excellent job. We went for the international buffet and all of the food was superb, well cooked.I would recommend both the restaurant and the pub to anyone looking to have a quiet meal out or as a large group. I cannot say anything bad about the place!

We recently had a family gathering (17 of us) for Sunday buffet lunch at The Tree and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The choice of meals was wonderful, the chef is brilliant and the staff and manager Namit all very friendly and helpful. We're looking forward to our next visit.

We had a delightful Sunday lunch at Annora. Having a buffet meant that it was easy to cater for everyone's tastes. My only problem was having to stop myself going back yet another time! The soup was delicious and the salads interesting and well-thought. All the curries were tasty and the range made the whole experience a fine feast. Staff were quiet and ever so polite.

We ate here 3 times during our recent stay. Great tasting food. Cheerful staff. I did receive one (slightly) wrong meal (the steamed sea bass instead of the pan fried) but the food was replaced and the end result was delicious. We went on the recommendation of our son and daughter who had visited in 2013 and we were not disappointed.

I am lucky enough to live close enough to the Tree to have an excuse to visit regularly! The food is exceptional - a hugely varied menu, with particularly excellent Indian and Thai dishes. The staff are always helpful and friendly and the array of offers and community events mean there's always an excuse to visit. Keep up the good work, The Tree!

I had a fantastic meal at The Tree, Iffley Village. First we had a demonstration of curry making by the chef, with tasting, tips and lots of questions and answers. This was followed by a wonderful curry meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful and altogether it was a great evening.

An enjoyable evening spent eating in the bar of the Tree Hotel. The restaurant was closed but far more atmosphere eating in the bar and the majority of clients were doing the same. A varied menu and they specialise in Indian cuisine but something for everyone. Lots of fun things advertised such as Lessons on cooking Indian food, Oktoberfest fun day etc. A large garden at this venue with a well equipped childrens play area.

Nice setting but very poor customer service and average food. Had a really bad experience last night - the waiter (who was actually the manger I later realised) brought out the main course before the starter then started to argue about it when I later complained that the mains were obviously re-heated (my boyfriend's chicken and risotto was pretty horrible). I had a salmon and avocado salad... with no avocado... and they added bacon without checking if I eat it. No apologies whatsoever from the staff. Disappointing as had heard good things but definitely won't be going back.

We decided to go to the Tree in Iffley for their Lohri celebrations. What a night! Indian drumming, dancing round the fire followed by a selection of Indian food. Very reasonably priced and something different for a cold Saturday evening in January. Great fun. There are more of these sorts of speciality nights at The Tree and the Annora restaurant during January apparently. Would recommend these for those who like the combination of English pub and Indian food.

We celebrated NYE at this restaurant. Everything was really good. Very clean sparkly glasses, whiter than white table linen, shiny cutlery, - and food to die for! A brilliant choice and we will return.Well done to the staff who worked so hard and to the chef whose skill was evident.

Milder sweeter style of biryani rice and chicken as compared to a Sindhi type. None the less a greaWe went back again for more today.They are at the Oxford Christmas festival this weekend.Excellent meal.

As we were in the area and this restaurant has good reviews we booked to go there for my birthday celebration meal. Big mistake.It is not a restaurant at all but a pub. I have no problem with pub food, in fact I have had some exceptional meals in a pub, but not this one.The surroundings are very ordinary, complete with gaming machine. A few tables had covers on them that counted as the restaurant. There is little choice on the menu. The Thai addition is one choice of a main course so don't think this warrants being called a Thai restaurant!The barman/waiter was very friendly and the food was okay but if you want somewhere a bit special, don't go there.

We were staying in the area and decided to go for a low key meal before our big night out the next day. However, our meal at theTree Hotel turned out to be the best meal of the weekend. They serve a range of curries and both ours were fantastic and had all the trimmings. It was also quiz night . There was a lovely atmosphere..even though we failed dismally at the quiz.

Had a baptism meal on Sunday at the Tree Hotel, Iffley, for our baby twins. A large group of us had the International Buffet and it was delicious food and very friendly service. Hope to go there again soon!

I had tikka masala first night and rogan josh the second night it was lovely my husband had biryani and tikka it was really nice, good service friendly restaurant,lovely place.

Twelve of us had lunch here last Sunday to celebrate my mother's birthday. We had the Sunday buffet and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The staff were very friendly and we look forward to returning in the future.

We had such a good time last night, at the Tree's International Wine Tasting event, that I just had to write about it.The three course meal was excellent - good sized portions and very good quality. The five wines were well chosen and served in generous measures(!). Our fellow diners were very pleasant and the room had a nice buzz about it. The good food, wine and company was rounded off with a ten year old Port (again good measures). Overall excellent value for money and it reminded us that we must go to the Sunday Lunch Buffet again very soon.

A return to the sister restaurant of the Tree at Cadmore, the Tree Hotel in Iffley offers a very similar style of eating: mix of Indian, Thai, English and classic English pub grub. But it is the Indian food that is the best thing about this place. So much to choose from and whatever you select is guaranteed to be great. The Tree recently had a new chef installed and he has continued the high standard of food quality and presentation.The night we went, they had a wine tasting session on plus a ladies 50% off special so the place was packed. We were still served though in good time and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.Staff are enthusiatic about the place and willing to listen to suggestions or ideas.There is a beer fest coming up on 5th October - definitely going back for that! Can't wait for their Diwali celebrations either.

This was my second visit to this restaurant as the food is so tasty. The chef went out of his way to prepare a special sauce to go with the steak for one of our party who was gluten intolerant and made a point of coming and talking to us after the meal which was nice. There is obviously a lot of pride and thought that goes into the dishes here; especially the Indian ones. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi which was really tasty and comes with plentiful rice. My boyfriend had the Lamb Rogan Josh which he said was packed full of flavour. My only criticism Is that the Indian meals are a bit pricey compared to elsewhere in the city.

We found this restaurant through Tastecard which is accepted here so you not only get fabulous food but you also get a discounted price.We had fish cakes and chicken tikka for our starters-very generous portions then I had lamb railway curry and my husband had steak which was cooked to perfection.The lamb in my curry melted in my mouth,it was just wonderful.We were unable to manage dessert!Service was excellent,we're just disappointed that we live too far away to go more often.They have a great range of dishes and everything is freshly cooked.

This is a regular for us and the food is of a consistently very high standard. We are never in a hurry when we eat here as everything is freshly cooked so sometimes can take a little longer to cook. Unable to make my mind up, Namit (or Tiger) recommended a special curry and it was absolutely delicious! This is such a lovely place to eat, nothing is too much trouble and the staff are all friendly and fantastic. I don't think we'll ever tire of eating here.

After eating Indian in Annora, can't be satisfied with it in any other Indian restaurants in the area. Fabulous food and outstanding service every time I come here. Extensive mix of Indian, Thai and English roast during Sunday lunch is infinite pleasure and perfect value for money. I recommend coming here for exceptionally delicious food and homely atmosphere

Have eaten lunch, dinner and the Sunday buffet at this lovely restaurant in Iffley and having finally joined TripAdvisor decided to finally post a review.Overall the food is the key selling point with exquisite Indian food complemented by very good Thai and English food. The service is always friendly and the outdoor area is a great place to have a drink during the few summer months we get.The restaurant is kept separate from the pub/bar area in terms of layout and decor but you can have the same food in both.

We ate here on Mothering Sunday - me, my husband and our fussy 3 year old. Despite my initial concerns that we'd be in for a stressful experience, as is usual with my 3 year old. However, having booked for the early lunchtime sitting, we were able to take our time deciding which of the delicious dishes we'd try first. With all the pressure of having to eat what was given to him removed, my son was excited about trying different dishes. Result? A relaxed, enjoyable meal all round, with the little man trying and enjoying the delicious Indian and English cuisine. Service was attentive without being overbearing; atmosphere relaxed; setting couldn't be faulted - close to the Thames to walk off lunch; price - great value for money. All in all, a fab experience, which I hope to make a regular occurrence. Thank you to everyone at The Tree and Annora.

I went with several members of my extended family (just under 30 of us) for lunch at The Annora today. The Sunday buffet was really lovely and we were all very impressed with the delicious selection of food on offer - Indian Curries, Thai dishes and English carvery - something to please everyone. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely be eating there again.

Oxford can be very expensive when it comes to finding accomodation. Fortunately for me I stumbled on the Tree Hotel! Great value for money, clean, friendly and helpfull staff and great food. Would definitely stay again and would reccomend it to anybody visiting Oxford.

This year (2012) I have revisited the Tree Hotel and Annora Restuarant in Iffley Village. The food quality and service were excellent. Any reasonable modification was accepted with grace and efficiency. I am happy to take visitors there as I am sure that they too will be pleased with the quality and value for money.A very reliable restaurant.

I have been to the Annora twice now with my friend who lives walking distance from it. We sat in the bar side and ate from the main menu which is varied and interesting. But because the first time I went my food was SO delicious, I had the same thing the second time too. The spinach and wild mushroom kofta. If I had to eat only one meal for the rest of my life I would pick that - it is do delicious. My friend had the Lamb Fry and it was interesting looking and absolutely huge. I would definitely go back to this restaurant, I think there is something on the menu for everyone.

fresh ingredients, beautifully presented and in a beautiful setting, what more could you ask for a romantic weekend break

when a friend asked me to join her for lunch I was expecting well I don't know what! I was not expecting the tastiest green curry! The creme brulee was fabulous and I left feeling well fed not over fed!

When we visited, they were serving an oriental buffet lunch alongside a limited traditional carvery meal in a normal pub with a very upmarket restaurant style room attached. I think this place needs to make it's mind up about what it wants to be. Half our party ate the buffet and the other half had the carvery. Neither was very good. The staff were friendly but very slow and didn't seem to be very organised. I wouldn't eat here again or recommend it to anyone else.

We had a birthday lunch for 14 people , lovely setting , it was a buffet/ carvery , food lovely & so much to choose from , Exellent value for money , a great time was had by all , :)

Recently I visited the Annora Restaurant at the Tree Hotel in Iffley, Oxford. This place has an ecclectic mix of Indian, Thai and Continental dishes throughout the menu. Lots of choice perhaps too much choice! Food was really good and the portion sizes quite large - we did not go away hungry that was for sure. Definitely great value for money. The hotel has an attractive outdoor area, great for early evening dinning in the summer or for family lunches. Bar menu has usual Brisith pub food fair as well as a selection of the restaurant food.This place is one to go back to for sure.

Deliciosa la cena en este restaurante, la mezcla de sabores, la presentación, el buen servicio... en fin inolvidable.

Ubicado en el precioso pueblo de Iffley, a pocos miutos de Oxford, nos sorprendió la calidad de su comida india y el servicio muy atento.

Definitely the best Indian food in Oxford for my money (and the Thai dishes which we had sampled on a previous visit are excellent too). We started with spicy potato cakes with tamarind & yogurt sauce (delightfully authentic Indian street food!) and lightly battered prawn tempura. For the mains I had a tasty sea bass, marinated then cooked in a tandoor oven which had given the skin a wonderfully crisp texture - the accompanying garlic spinach was delicious and a quirky touch was the onion bhaji on top. One of us had a chicken tikka masala which was competently done (although the dish is intrinsically bland ... no wonder it is a British favourite). The vegetarians in our party were well catered for with an excellent saag aloo and a bhindi masala (not oily as it often is) plus a competent moong dal tarka. The accompanying pulao rice was beautifully scented and the naans were good too.The only let down was that the restaurant was nearly empty (there were more people in the bar next door where they do serve the same food). Perhaps this is because the local connoisseurs of Indian food think of it only in terms of a hot "curry" from a Bangaldeshi restaurant ... they should go here to find out what they have been missing out on!

We have been here before but are always objective.After having delicious Tempura prawns as a starter, we found King Prawn curry was not on the menu.The chef prepared it for us anyway and it was superb.The wine and service was excellent.Good bar next door for pre dinner drinks.Interesting menus for both bar food and restaurant with choices for indian,chinese and english.

The indian and thai meals are particularly great! The decor and style is a bit old-morrells pub chic, if you are old/local enough to have experienced those. Try it for the food. You csnt go wrong.

The village of Iffley features not only a Norman Church but a restaurant worthy of a visit. The Annora Restaurant boasts an international cuisine - perfect for couples or families that have different tastes or those who wish to experiment. The staff are attentive, helpful and knowledgeable and do relay the customers' needs back to the kitchen. The atmosphere in the dining room (with its modern artwork) is conducive to a romantic evening for two or for small or large parties who are celebrating a family event. The wine list contains all the usual standards at affordable prices and the odd extravagance for special events.Service is prompt and efficient and there is no pressure on diners to release the table for a second sitting - a bane of modern restaurants. A constant smile of the staff makes it even more comfortable. Thoroughly recommended for a "one-off" visit or for regular visitors to the City of Oxford (4 km away). Guests will not go away from here disappointed.

I had a lamb jalfrezi here which was superb, possibly the best I've ever had.

Booked the Tree as my wife had to attend Oxford Uni for a course and travelling from West Wales for the day would have been a nightmare. The staff at the Tree are very friendly and polite, however we encountered several problems. The room in which we were staying needed a good clean, the curtains had ladybirds and moths on them, the windows were dirty, one was even cracked, one didnt close properly. The carpet at the door edge was loose presenting a trip hazard. The toilet leaked and left a stain beneath the u bend,and the lighting in general was very dim. The mattress had a sizeable lump in it too. We were offered another room but this was much smaller with a much smaller bed. The food was very good quality and cooked nicely, however, we ordered the same main meal and only one was brouight. This we then shared thankfully as it was another 25 minutes before the second one arrived, and, even though it was allegedly the same meal, it was in fact different in several ways.We also noticed other people in the restaraunt had ordered meals and recieved different to that which they had ordered. At breakfast, where there was listed on the menu, a selection of fresh fruit,,,there was no fruit to be seen!!!! For a cheap place to stay with a friendly welcome, then this is it, for a plush place to stay, this it is not..Its more of a Faulty Towers really, I half expected Manuel to bring our second main course, and Basil to appear behind the bar. I wont stay there again. Sadly we were let down. A multitude of minor problems that individually would be nothing, but collectively made the stay far less enjoyable than hoped for. I have stayed at far better, far dearer, also cheaper and had better ..

Went for a meal on Friday last week.Had a great meal.Their Tikka Masala is to die for!!!

we had a gr8 time.....small place wit big packages of polite staff and great food...we didn't get the time to thank the chef as they were behind our great taste of food...it made our day and we r looking forward to visit it.

on arival from Bath for a stay in Oxford, we fell into the sunday roast of which I focussed on the great curries! Hmmm..

We had reservations for 7.30pm and after been shown to our table we were given our menu's straight away,but we felt rushed to order,as the staff kept coming back with his ordering pad,after our order was given the waiting time was a little on the long side,we had to ask several times for a jug of water, but once our food was served the staff were very attentive for all the right reasons. Good choice of menu and comfortable seating and nice dining room.

Slightly shabby small hotel but more than made up for by the willing and helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble even when they were very busy. The sunday buffet is very good value with a choice of a traditional roast or authentic Indian food and also other nationality food. We would certainly stay there again when in Oxford.

the restaurant had excellent service from the staff, there was a good choice on the menu and the food was a very high standard. The price was very fair also, and they also had a great choice on the sunday with the carvery (chinese, indian and roast)

Great location and a beautiful 30 minute walk into Oxford with jigsaw puzzle box views.Booked a family room which was plenty big enough for 3. Shower a bit weak but there was also a bath in the room.Menu looked interesting and the breakfast was superb with a wide range of dishes to choose from, unusual for breakfast, but very welcome as a vegetarian!.Would definitely stay here again, people charming and decor is being updated.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch so much choice and value for money :)

This restaurant is in our neighbourhood and in a nice pub house so we gave it a go. Service was good, with very friendly staff. The wine was nice, too, and we were looking forward to a nice meal to go with it. As a starter we shared "Kai Thod Nam Phueng (new) – crispy fried chicken tossed with spicy honey Sauce". This was a complete disaster: chewy, guewy, reminided us of KFC food rather than lovely refined oriental cuisine. As a main, I had "Belly Of Pork on Bone - served with pickled red cabbage, potato mash, caramelised apples and mustard sauce". It was alright but nothing special, and the apples were definitely not caramelised. My partner had the "Indian Platter – murgh malai kebab, tandoori chicken, lamb sheesh kebab and vegetable samosas, served with salad & dips", which was dry and bland. After this disappointment we decided to have pudding at home! Would definitely not recommend this place until they change both the chef and menu.

When we arrived at the Annora, we received a very warm welcome. The wine we ordered was lovely, and service throughout was friendly. The food, however, was just about the poorest I've had in an Oxford restaurant. I had my doubts about an international cuisine menu, and it seems these doubts were justified. The dishes were ill-conceived, poorly executed and lacked pride in quality. For example, the Indian platter was really just a plate of blandly spiced meat and didn't resemble anything you might get in a half-decent Indian restaurant (let alone in India). Moreover, the dishes were overpriced. I'm sorry to leave such a negative review, as the staff were very nice, but felt compelled to as, for me, the food just wasn't up to scratch.

We went for lunch with 10 colleagues. We had a choice of sitting in the restaurant or the bar area, which is more informal, a little scuffed, but nice enough. There was no-one in the restaurant and as the lunch menu was the same in both, we opted for the bar. It was over 45 mins wait from placing our order to getting the food (with no warning from the staff), which was maybe too long for a lunch service. Forunately, no-one had any complaints about the combination of Indian, Thai and English dishes when they arrived, all of which were very good and very reasonable value for the price.

The atmosphere was warm and friendly upon welcome, as were the staff who made us feel right at home. The food was highly presentable and provided a delicious and genuine flavour. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exquisite blend of cuisines.

I can't rate this too highly, the food is imaginative and never disappointing, the service excellent, the staff friendly and courteous. I was rather upset to read of one reviewers experience and rather think it was the customer that had a problem and was nothing to do with the restaurant staff and or service.A Diamond star service and a diamond star rating every time.

Me and my wife had a great dinner in Annora. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great! Altough the place was full, the manager came several times to ask how the food was. A very interesting and unusual selection of food and good beer! The prices are very acceptable and they play some live jazz for free!

A nice restaurant, bar and hotel in a lovely part of Oxford. I can recommend the Iffley area with it's lock and the Thames along with some lovely stone cottages, and a meal in Annora is a good way to round off a visit.Why only 3 stars? Well, I'd give 3.5 if you could as the food and service were of a high quality. As has been said, an interesting mix of English, Thai and Indian food - with enough variety of each to satisfy most tastes. Vegetarian options were quite good too.However, I visited on a Friday lunch time and we were the only ones in the restaurant throughout the meal so there was little atmosphere. There were others dining in the bar area though.Also, my choice of starter and main course were both unavailable, and it took a little long to tell me that, however my second choices were both very nice.Worth a visit, but probably best in the evening unless you just fancy a bar snack.

great, super, lovley, what more can i say, the staff were at our becon call and the location was beautiful, i would go back again..... every night.

sin duda alguna es un restaurante increíble, la comida es exquisita tuve que pedir platillo tras platillo a recomendación del chef, sin mencionar los postres porque se me hace agua la boca y el ambiente es excelente, puedes platicar comer y beber cuanto quieras y siempre veras una sonrisa a tu alrededor. lo mejor de todo y aunque no lo crean es que los precios son bastante accesibles. es un lugar fuera del ajetreo de la ciudad pero con mucho animo, el establecimiento es bastante coqueto, así que si lo que buscan es pasársela bien y chuparse los dedos amigos míos Annora es lo que les recomiendo.

Returned after some time being away and found great improvements to the Menu, Management and Staff. The management and staff were friendly and eager to please. The meal was delicious and worth going back for more.

We ate there last week after not having been for a long time, and will definitely be back again soon. The food is all delicious, but the Indian dishes are particularly good. Staff is very helpful, and there is a garden out back to sit in after you've stuffed yourself trying to make room for desert (chocolate fondant is a great addition to the new menu!!)

We have been here before but are always objective.Went on a Tuesday night when it was quite quiet.Have previously been on Saturdays when it is advisable to book.The starters of Tempura batter prawns were melt in the mouth quality.We both had the Thai style king prawn curry with mint pilau rice and a straight pilau rice.This was delicious and accompanied by a crisp white wine.They also do bar meals here with english dishes as well as the thai and indian bar meals which is fairly unique for a bar.A very cosy restaurant and bar with decked seating areas outside in a good sized garden.

Lovely little restaurant hidden away in gorgeous Iffley Village. Lovely and very friendly staff. Their Pad Kapow is to die for!

I have been writing comments on Tripadvisor for the last few years and unfortunately this is the only negative review I have written on a place I have been to regularly over the last 6 years. However, due to the appalling service and attitude of the manager, I feel I need to warn other customers not to go here. I am a 54 year-old woman, have never been ordered out of a venue before, and hope never to be again. I went to eat at the pub area attached to the restaurant with a friend recently. We had a surly waitress take our order, who snatched the menu from my hand while I was trying to read it. We ordered our food, and while my meal arrived first, my friend's didn't. We waited about 10 minutes and then enquired where my friend's meal was. Another member of the staff went to enquire and I could see at a distance a lot of shouting and gesticulating behind the bar and in the corridor area. Eventually the manager appeared with my friend's meal, and said: It's only been two minutes since I served you your meal' in a tone that was meant to imply that we were complaining unnecessarily. I tried to point out to him that it was nearer 10 minutes and he told me flatly that it was only 2! This denial of time taken went on for another few minutes at which point he told me and my friend to get out of the hotel, threatening to phone the police. This took place in front of at least 10 other people, was extremely embarrassing and upsetting and I hope it never happens to anyone else.

A restaurant in a large pub/hotel. The decor is quite tired and there are some strange smells on entering the bar and restaurant. The tablecloth had soap powder marks. Staff mostly friendly but lackadaisical - forgot one of the dishes, no serving spoons provided. The menu is very varied, Thai, Indian(?) and British and food is above average,seems freshly cooked to order. Good garden, seating but some tables without parasols, bouncy castle. Ladie/disabled loo awful, no soap, cistern constantly running, missing flush mechanism, decor old and dirty.

My wife and I attended an event here for charity. The food was delicious with a great selection of Indian & Thai food. The service was very friendly as well. Highly reccommended.

We visited Annora mainly due to the high rating on Trip Advisor.We decided to eat in the Restaurant rather than the bar, although we were the only peple in there all night, so the atmosphere wasn't great. We decided to choose Thai from the menu as the waiter said there was a Thai chef. The main course was pretty good, bu the desserts were very average, especially the sticky toffee pudding, which wasn't very sticky at all. Given that we only had 1 bottle of house wine andno starters I thought the £60 was pretty steep, I've certainly had much better for the money.Not likely to again as there are plenty of

We went to Annora as it was rated #2 of restaurants in Oxford, second only to Le Manoir. However, it was really disappointing. We went as a couple, for a mid-week evening meal. Arriving at the restaurant there was plenty of parking, and the grounds were nice. We ate in the restaurant, as the bar looked a bit run down. We were the only customers in the restaurant, but this was not an issue, as there was good music playing in the back-ground and the staff were attentive.We both had a Thai main course and English dessert. My fiancé had a prawn-based main, whereas I had duck, with apparently aubergine, of which I found none. To be fair, the mains were average and tasted nice, just not what we were expecting, and certainly nothing to write home about. The sticky toffee pudding was a disappointment, probably not helped by the fact it took less than 3 minutes to arrive after ordering - never a good sign! It was not sticky or gooey as you would expect. My fiancé’s mango soufflé was ok, again nothing special.The service was good, and staff were friendly. 10% service charge was added automatically to the bill and a meal of main with rice/noodles, bottle of house wine & dessert for 2 people would set you back nearly £60!Unfortunately, due to the average food and over-priced menu, we would not go back.

Staff was helpful and food was very good. The atmosphere is fair but not great. No ethnic charm on the choice of furniture as you woul expect in a Thai/Indian restaurant.All in all our party of 3 was happy with the food choices, especially the Thai dishes.Would definitely return.

My Partner and I went for dinner at the Tree last week. It was AMAZING. The staff were so polite and friendly and more importantly (for me) the food was delicious. I was always a bit skeptical beause of teh mix in food (Indian, Thai and English) and wondered which chef could manage all three well, but my partner had a thai 3 course meal and I had an Indian one. I cannot rate this place highly enough and will have to go again. The only slight downside if I had to think of one was that it has 2 dining rooms, one formal and one informal and so other diners were split, making it too quite quiet.

It was a really nice food & really worthThe service is also very goodAll the staff is co operativeMust visit

I love this restaurant/pub. I regularly go here for lunches and have also been for work arranged evening meals/functions. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. A good mix of food on the menu, something for everyone, although I can personally recommend the vegetable noodles as a personal favourite! If you fancy a curry try here as an alternative to the normal indian restaurants in Oxford, you will be in for a nice surprise.

The food was amazing, the service was very good and all the staff were very attentative.I think it is great value for money and the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly.I cant wait for my next visit. Thankyou

Went to this restaurant yesterday because of the good reviews. It had enough parking spaces. Went into the restaurant and sat near the window. Staff were very friendly and always available. I had the Lamb, which was average in taste, the herbs didn't seem to be fresh and on the menu it said it came with pancetta, but in fact was ordinary strips of bacon. Needed a lot of salt and peper as well. Would give the dish a 6 out of 10.My partner can't have garlic and they made a dish especially for her, some fried vegetable with spicy gravy. Good thing is that they give you the bill and ask if you write down some comments, so I did. Then we left the restaurant and the manager came after me. And said the herb were fresh. All in all a good place, mainly because of service and price. But hard to get if you don't have a car and don't take the lamb.

We went to the Annora three times when we visited Oxford and every time the food and service was excellent.Between the two of us we tried a good variety of the foods they served,I mainly had the indian and thai and my "better half" tried the steaks, fish dishes and desserts,between us we could not fault any thing. We are planning another trip to Oxford in the new year and we will deffinatly be going back there.

They have a pub section serving yummy crepes and traditional pub food, and an excellent restaurant serving top quality curries amongst other dishes. Great service which works for both quick working lunches or more relaxed social events.

The staff could not have been more helpful in helping me to arrange a works leaving lunch for one of my colleagues. They were more than helpful over the phone and responded quickly via e mail. They allowed us to pre order our food which definatley helps if you are on a tight schedule (ie lunch hour), whilst also accommodating orders from people who were only able to attend at the last minute. We all received our excellent freshly cooked food at the same time. By having a wide and varied menu it was easy to accomodate all tastes.

I found The Annora to be the the best place to eat for me, you can order from the Restaurant Menu and have your meal either in the Bar, Restaurant or in the Garden (weather permiting). The choice of food is superb, to be able to have any combination of Thai , Indian and English food (including vegetarian options) in one meal is great. The menu caters for all tastes. Each time I go there I try to have something different as the menu is so interesting. The surrounding area is peacefull and so close to Iffley Lock and the River.

Well its really nice here because I live round the corner I can get easy access to it and the food is superb.

A group of seven of us had a meal on a Saturday evening at the Annora restaurant. The room was beautifully laid out (except the two very modern paintings on the wall did not go with the rest of the decor). The service was excellent and all the staff were polite and helpful. The whole menu was mouth watering with choices which could not fail to please. Every course was delicious - food presentation superb and more than adequate helpings. The chef is to be congratulated. The price was very reasonable and we would not hesitate to return.

There are far better rest's in oxford....this isn't the 3rd best one! We had an ok meal there, but probably wouldn't go back. The rest was fairly empty (on a fri night), food was something we could have cooked...and a 10% service charge added on.

The village of Iffley features not only a Norman Church but a restaurant worthy of a visit. The Annora Restaurant boasts an eclectic mixture of Thai, Indian and Continental dishes - perfect for couples or families that have different tastes or those who wish to experiment. The staff are attentive, helpful and knowledgeable and do relay the customers' needs back to the kitchen. The atmosphere in the dining room (with its modern artwork) is conducive to a romantic evening for two or for small or large parties who are celebrating a family event. The wine list contains all the usual standards at affordable prices and the odd extravagance for special events.Service is prompt and efficient and there is no pressure on diners to release the table for a second sitting - a bane of modern restaurants. Thoroughly recommended for a "one-off" visit or for regular visitors to the City of Oxford (4 km away). Guests will not go away from here disappointed.
