The food is so amazing we go here very often they never fail to amaze us especially the staff, and manager Papu service is top tier I recommend Bhoomi to everyone who is looking for an authentic Indian experience

Great visit to Bhoomi! Will definitely return when we come back to Oxford. Very reasonably priced, amazing flavours and large portions. We liked the music too and the service was perfect. We had a birthday in our party and they brought out a desert with a candle too which was a nice touch. Couldn't fault anything with Bhoomi and I'm not surprised at all about the good reviews I've seen. Looking forward to coming back

Wonderful family Iftar dinner . Everything was perfect! Mango lassis to begin.The Kerala Dhall, The Butter chicken. And a most wonderful Masala Chai to end the meal! We left warm and glowing

The best meal I've had in years! The flavour and feel of the food reminded me of home.

We had a lovely evening, the food was excellent and the service is some of the best I’ve come across

This is the third time I’ve been here and it gets better each time. My partner and I went for the Banquet meal which lets you sample a few of their popular starters and mains which we loved! The parotta bread is unbelievable - make sure you try it!

Brilliant food and wonderful service Loved the Kerala Parotta and Appam accompaniments

Absolutely delicious food. Each dish was uniquely flavoured and beautifully balanced spice. Parotha was raved about by those who had them. Staff were helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to return

Absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. This place can easily compete with Dishoom for amazing flavor and taste

Always really lovely food and a very attentive service. We keep coming back and it’s always consistent quality. Would highly recommend!

Went to the Bhoomi restaurant for the first time and will definitely go there again. We had the banquet menu and the food was excellent, flavoursome but with a blast of spice after a few minutes. Made a change from the typical Indian dishes you get that have a tomato based sauce and not a lot else. The service was excellent, with thee serving kitchen staff detailing what each dish consisted of. Whilst more expensive that your typical Indian restaurant, the quality and cooking of the food was well worth the additional cost. My only quip was that the table we were sat at had limited lighting, so if like me you need glasses to read in low light (age thing) make sure you take them, on the plus side we were able to review the family's historic picture display. All in all an excellent night out

Service was fantastic, lovely restaurant with a nice theme. Food was tasty. Only criticisms are the menu for the banquet was slightly limited and the bill at the end was probably £30/40 more than you’d like to spend on an indian for two people. We shared the poppadom appetiser, both went with the banquet which is sample size of 3 starters and then the mains of 2 curry’s and 1 side of your choice. I would recommend due to the flavour of food but make sure you’re willing to spend!

Amazing place. The food was really good, the people very police and the atmosphere great. We loved it. Definitely going back. It was bit pricey but worth it.

Amazing food, the best Indian I’ve had in Oxford. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

Some nice Indian food, pleasant staff in a nice restaurant, will be going back

Friendly staff, good efforts at decor, unexpectedly good food. c £35 per head for dinner. Butter checken was Really good, as were lsrge jumbo prawns

The food was just delicious, fabulous spices and beautifully presented, we could not stop eating and wanted more! The atmosphere had a great vibe! The service was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely go again.

Great everything, really recommended if you’re around Oxford!

Our Christmas dinner at Bhoomi was amazing as always. It's nice to have a restaurant nearby that consistently serves excellent food.

Service was brilliant and food was amazing

Fab late birthday treat Excellent food and drinks , so much so that we bought a takeaway too! Highly recommend pain puri

Beautifully crafted plates! Amazing staff and service. Although butter chicken needs a bit more flavour but still a 7 out of 10.

Local restaurant to me, I've been a few times now. It's my family's favourite place to eat when they come to visit. The food is always exceptional and the service always spot on.

Good food (though not cheap) with range of vegetarian choices. Very friendly and helpful especially through coping when we kept adding extra people to the booking!

I mean what to say about this place food wow serving A+ everything is perfect like this place.

It’s my second time here and I will be back for sure again and again. It’s the best Indian food that I eat in my whole life 🤗

The meal was a mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, the mango kulfi was delicious—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavour—and the service was attentive and genuinely commendable. However, the disappointments overshadowed the experience. The sambar that came with the dosa lacked authenticity and depth of flavour, while the lemon rice was overly greasy and failed to deliver a proper citrusy kick. The payasam was far too sweet, and the pistachio kulfi had an artificial taste, feeling more like generic ice cream than an authentic kulfi. It’s a shame, as the potential for a great meal was there.

Expensive but lovely food. More like Indian fine dining.

Simply the best Indian restaurant. The quality of the food is out of the league: egg curry, butter chicken, chicken stew, karahi paneer, everything that we have tried has a rich flavour and great taste. It never disappoints. The staffs are very friendly and always helpful. The weekend lunch Thali is a budget friendly option. Oh they also have a nice music and atmosphere.

Really good food and great service. Will be back

Really amazing gastro Indian food. Small menu which really show that the food is fresh and of quality! Definitely recommend. Especially the masala potatoes!

Its absolutely horrendous that they don’t even want to give us a good size of portion We came in as a group of 8 people and the way we were treated was absolutely rubbish Yes the food was alright, but when we asked we wanted to order according to us it wasn’t take in And the size of the chapati and porotta was so small it wouldn’t even suffice one person This is absolutely rubbish The manager there was so rude it’s disappointing even when we tried to explain it was not even heard properly Such a rubbish service I wouldn’t even dream of going again And it’s absolutely absurd that their portion size for takeaway is cheaper but sizes are much much bigger How’s that fair to people who are spending the time to come in to enjoy some time in a restaurant And the reason we were given is that’s expensive to seat us and there were just 2 tables occupied Worst experience ever in dining in an Indian restaurant

Good food, nice music, quick and friendly service, only issue I felt was portions are small and the prices are on the higher side. It's good but maybe just for a treat every so often.

Pasting from direct email to the restaurant as they suggested private communications for poor reviews. They didn't respond: The service and setting were very good but I’m afraid the quality of your food has slipped from 2020 when I visited twice with my family. I note young children are no longer welcome which is a shame. In 2020, I had a dum biryani which was exceptional (9.5/10). Your chicken biryani yesterday was poor and I’m sorry to say probably the poorest biryani I’ve had at any restaurant. The accompanying lentils were excellent. Your prices have gone up and portion sizes are pitiful. I heard this from a departmental colleague who asked that we eat elsewhere for a relatively large dinner we were organising and I can see now what she meant. I used to tell people that Bhoomi was the best Indian in Oxford but I can’t recommend you any more. The food has to be exceptional if the prices are high and portions are small. Your food was exceptional in 2020 but I don’t think any longer. Excellent service cannot compensate for average, overpriced food with small portion sizes

Great food, great service. One of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had.

Friendly service and absolutely delightful food!

A delicious thali for lunch. Highly recommended.

We had such a great meal at Bhoomi kitchen! The food and service were wonderful, and we loved how much pride and delight the staff took in their food. The perfect place for our anniversary meal!

Food was delicious with an excellent Primitivo

Unlike any “curry” I’ve ever been to… I’ve been coming here for years, not regularly but once or twice a year…the quality and flavours and LEVELS to the food is unreal. And they are always evolving, trying new things, getting better. It is a real treat and pleasure and I would 10/10 recommend. 4 of us each ordered the banquet and were not disappointed. Popodoms were new and different, started were amazing and unique and the mains were 4 completely different dishes but each as wonderful as the other.

Amazing food and care from the team! One of the best restaurants in Oxford.

Delicious food, we had prawns starter, butter chicken and lamb biryani. Highlight for me were Parotta flatbreads - so buttery and flaky! Attentive staff. My only small issue was that we sat at the back of the restaurant and it feels like being on a train carriage - tables are small and close together. However, don't let that put you off, more spacious at the front and lovely outdoors area that I am keen to check out when it's warmer.

Fantastic restaurant delivering in every area wow can you open in Guildford please best wishes jason & shara x !

Food was very good, service was a bit slow as it looked like they were short staffed. But the food and drinks were excellent.

This was outstanding. It is without a doubt the best Indian food I have ever had. I will be going back.

This is a great place for some genuine, well-made Indian food. Went for the Banquette set-menu which covers all the basis very well and definitely won’t leave you hungry for a long time. Friendly staff, and welcoming environment makes it a place definitely worth a visit if you’re in Oxford and fancy Indian food. - Value for money? Yes - Worth a detour? No - Best for (occasion)? An inexpensive feast - Would I go back? Yes

An excellent meal in every way. i would highly recommend for a special occasion

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. What’s not to like?!

Very tasty food for vegetarians! Mango lassi was amazing Great service thank you for a lovely night

Lovely birthday meal. The Thali's were delicious and the Bhoomi kitchen kindly made it gluten free by replacing the chapati with a really tasty dosa

Cozy interior, wonderful cocktails, pretty nice food (some were uncommon), and friendly staff. (have been here several times: everything, including the toilet, is always very nice!

Delicious food. A creative menu. Superb service.

Food was delicious and they adjusted spice levels for me as well which was appreciated!

Bland food. Limited selection. Expensive for what it is. Usually Indian food is either great or terrible. Bhoomi Kitchen is incredibly mediocre. It’s.. just OK. Styled as an up-market Michelin restaurant, where you don’t get many choices but it’s supposed to be worth it. Well, the price sure reflects their aims, but the food you get for it is dull. If you’re very sensitive to flavour and you’re having a craving for bland Indian food, maybe this is for you? We had several dishes so it wasn’t just bad luck; it was all just “okay”. I had the Chicken 65 and Butter Chicken. My friend had the Biryani, and we had a few sides/starters like the Spinach & Potatoes, Lamb Samosa (that one was pretty nice but again it was ‘fine’), and a couple others. Because it’s a moderately expensive restaurant, they didn’t accommodate à la carte.

Amazing !!!! Food was outstanding

Over priced for an average food

Best Indian food I have eaten in the Uk. Amazing quality food. The staff were exceptional. Knowledgeable and great service.

Today was my 2nd visit to this restaurant, and I have to say that I am massively floored. The staff, esp the manager, are EXTREMELY kind and polite. The ambience, the green-golden-black-brown hue they've used is gorgeous! And of course none of this would matter if the food was not as good! The chef deserves praise as well! All in all, 5 out of 5!

Stumbled across Bhoomi Kitchen when looking for an early dinner with our toddler. We had such a lovely experience, very friendly staff, delicious food and so accommodating to make a meal easy with a toddler. Highly recommend if you're with or without kids!

Lived up to the reviews. Amazing food & outstanding service. Order the banquet & you won’t be disappointed

Superb food wonderful staff, as always. Great restaurant.

Nice seat outside on a sunny day, good service, great food, great atmosphere inside and out, would come again.

I must say that their food is so great, with amazing experience and drink, everything was great. We ordered Thali as recommended by manager Papu, he is the best! cheers

Excellent innovative food, and top-notch service.

Nice food , Nce ambience inside .

One of the best in Oxford without a doubt

Went on a quiet wednesday night but still amazing food (interesting as well as being delicious), friendly atmosphere and service was immaculate

"Overpriced and Underwhelming: A Disappointing Dining Experience at Bhoomi Kitchen" "I had high hopes for Bhoomi Kitchen, but my experience was extremely disappointing. The prices were exorbitant for the quality of food served. The dishes lacked flavor and freshness, and some even seemed reheated. The service was slow and inattentive, making the dining experience even more frustrating. Overall, I would not recommend Bhoomi Kitchen to anyone looking for a satisfying and enjoyable meal."

This has to be the best Indian food restaurant I’ve ever eaten in The service was incredible but the food was out of this world The food not only looked great but tasted delicious, not like any meal I’ve eaten before More pricey than your usual Indian restaurant but then this is cut above the average Indian restaurant and totally worth it I will be eating here every time I’m in Oxford

Delicious food and wonderful friendly service

Very Good food and Ambience. Staff was amazing as well. Will definitely visit again.

A refreshingly small menu of exceptional dishes. Shockingly good.

The food was not authentic and was really expensive , and the fun part is the restaurant policy -we are not supposed to share our food . What …..????? Good service and atmosphere

Excellent food! Come hungry and try as much as you can. Recommended the banquet.

Best South Indian cuisine. So perfect and delicious.

Bit pricey but great food. The banquet meals are worth the money

Loved the food and atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful with allergies.

Nice place but food was tasty but not worth the price and some starters were cold. Would not return.

Fantastic food, helpful stuff.

Great service and food. The quality of food was great, from the flavours to the presentation. Highly recommend the banquet.

I was blown away by this amazing restaurant, the food was exceptional. Such delicious flavour - the prawn curry and butter chicken are not to be missed! Succulent, tender meat in the most fragrant gravy. Very kind staff.

delightful evening. delicious food in the right sizes. the place is clean and not smelly. the staff is knowledgeable.

What an amazing dining experience! The food was incredible and the service was perfection! My wife and I were blown away and will definitely return!

Changed my initial review. The food is outstanding! The pricing is strange though.

Excellent food and excellent service! A lovely evening. One of the best in Oxford

Very delicious food and excellent service. Thoroughly recommend.

Went in sat at the table. Staff didn't care to clear trash by previous clients had to wait

Words cannot say how good the food is here and the staff are brilliant

We didn’t know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is so nice, the service couldn’t be more amazing, everyone was super attentive. The food was delicious! Also I’m vegetarian and there were lots of options and the menu was very clear ✨✨✨

One of the best experience w.r.t Indian food we had in whole of UK. Veg Thali with Paneer is must try!

Such a lovely restaurant. The staff are lovely and the food is delightful. Would love to go back.

Lovely meal out with good drinks and fantastic food! Would recommend!

Fantastic authentic Indian food. Small menu. Pay & park nearby. We may have easily ordered more food w/o thinking twice but was put off by per person 'Compulsory 2 course meal' - it somehow affects customer psyche & would recommend changing as no one likes to be restricted when paying for their food. Make customers think about ur delicious food and nothing else.

Really delicious food, attentive and friendly staff, cool interior-a wonderful place for dinner, thank you

I've never eaten Indian food this good, and I love Indian food. So full of flavour, really well balanced and so healthy. 👌

Absolutely delightful food. I have never tasted Indian food like this. The most friendly and attentive staff. I will come back as soon as I can!

Staff are friendly and the food is not bad. There are very few options and that should mean every dish is on point but on this experience every dish was ‘ok’. The staff and restaurant are very pleasant but the price is astronomic for what you get. £200 for three people with just a couple of drinks. If I’d paid half I’d still feel overcharged. Putting average Indian/Bangladeshi food into stylish (small) containers doesn’t elevate it to Michelin standards. The starters - I’ve had better street food in India for 50R. Again not terrible but just OK. The main courses £39 and it’s rice OR bread FFS - what a total ripoff. Too many stupid people with too much disposable income in Oxford methinks. Hideously overpriced.

Top notch food and service. Do watch out for the 12.5% service charge and the £4.50 bottles of water.

We spent a wonderful evening in a cozy atmosphere. I recommend it!
