Dosapark in Oxford

Extremely friendly service and wow the food! Delicious. I had the Tandoori Chicken Biryani and it was just amazing. Definitely try the Chai as well. Definitely go when in Oxford.

always get great food from dosa park. so much better than all the usual identikit lndian restaurants.

When we enter into the dosa park the restaurant smells very bad and the floor was too much slippery and we are about the slip down in the floor which is very bad.we had ordered tandoori chiken biriyani veg biriyani tandoori chicken ,in chicken biriyani the chicken was not cooked well and also same for tandooori chiken was not cooked well and tastes like old one overall it was very bad experience and to owner :if you are not able to provide good food i dont y u had opened the shop sorry to tell you

The food was okay, tried chicken noodles, idly sambhar, butter chicken and naan. Everything tastes good.

V nice food & service + reasonable , specially in English town Oxford ..

The food is by far the best Indian cuisine being served in UK, have tried some of the most famous Indian restaurants but the food served here is too good, flavours, spices, presentation, quantity, price everything is just perfect.

One of the best restaurants in Oxford

I ordered the butter chicken and it’s the worst I’ve ever had. It looked bad and tastes worse. It was basically tasteless watery concoction Dosa park needs to do better in the preparation of the meals, it’s actually people’s hard earned money at stake here

Great little place with tasty authentic South Indian food, reasonably priced, friendly staff.

Love Dosa park!! Real Indian food for good prices. Absolutely delicious.

I came here the first time 11 years ago. Already then it mesmerized me with some of the delicious food I’ve ever had. Today, I came back after 5 years. And it’s still as good as the first time I tried a dosa. Highly recommended.

I placed an order via their website over an hour ago. I called to check the status only to be told there's a problem with their website and they have no drivers available.

very nice food, the best Indian food I have ever eaten

We came all the way from liverpool and it was amazing. We had dosa, idli, vada and finished with icecream! Very friendly staff. Sahana made us feel at home.

Excellent food. We tried Masala Tea and Dosa. Both were excellent... Highly recommended.

Tried south indan dishes like Dosa, and Idli. It was good. Sambar was also good. But Coconut chutney and Tomato/chutney are not authentic for me as a south Indian. Coconut chutney seemed like some dal power mixed with water. (It may be normal for North Indians who have never tasted original coconut chutney made of fresh coconut).

I usually don't put on reviews - But this place was really really bad, shocked at the 4 star rating and also shocked how this place continues to be in business. Stale old food, no flavour, no salt , tea made with old milk. The sambar is powdery . Really really bad food.

Cafe style South Indian eatery. No alcohol. Lots of street food options. Great flavours.

The place is certainly homely. However, the rasam and tomato chutney were the only good things we ate. The utthappam was hard, the veg kothu paratha was below average and the curd rice was PIPING HOT, with a hint of curd. I'm not sure how any Indian can accept HOT curd rice.

Enjoyed the food, ordered masala dosa, full breakfast and vadas. Tea was amazing.

You can store your luggage, the meals are very authentic, and the service is very good!

I've always loved the food here -- great portions for a great price, and completely authentic. The interior is rustically decorated and great for a casual lunch or dinner. Service is a tad slow in busy periods, but still faster than most places.

Food is below average.Almost every dish lacks salt.Vada was undercooked .If you are south indian dont visit this place.You will forget how good south indian dishes are.Not sure how people have rated 4 for this place.

Had masala dosa which was very delicious at a great price!

Hiden gem in Oxford, we tried Masala Dosas and we were surprised by the taste of it.. it was so good..

They literally pulled a table from the wall so I could charge my phone. Food was good too!

Lots of Sth Indian Chennai cuisine

8 pound Gobi Manchurian, I guess 1 pound per a piece of cauliflower. Ridiculous. It was a take away can't even demand more. But it does taste nice, wish there was a bit more.

Absolutely love this place! Dosa Park is the best place for Indian in Oxford. Their masala dosa is 100% recommended. Such authentic taste! And the chutneys are so very delicious! All their items are great- be it the thalis, biryani, lassi, or paratha. Everything is delicious here! What I love the most is that, unlike many Indian restaurants here, the taste is honest to the original flavours. And not pretentious at all. I like the simplicity. Super quick service. Very polite staff. Excellent hospitality.

We were in a hurry to catch the train back to Manchester when our fell onto Dosa Park. We hurried into the restaurant and requested them for a quick take away option. The food was prepared very quickly and was very delicious. We had the menu vada sambar and spicy fried idly. It was very tasty, the team was very helpful and cheerful. I would truly recommend everyone to go dine in this authentic Indian restaurant.

Food arrived damaged with it leaking everywhere and was cold not happy.

Very good taste and extremely good services. They have authentic taste of India.’Naima ‘ lady at the restaurant is really considerate. She is sweet and take good care of customers.

the paratha and chana masala are so great in taste and give vibes of home food the atmosphere was fantastic and staff is very professional thanks dosa park

Slow service but good food and friendly staff.

Amazing experience, Authentic Indian taste. The staff members are very friendly. 👍🏻

Excellent food - we felt transported to India. Thanks to the lovely Kiran for serving us with joy.

Went recently when I was visiting Oxford. Ordered full breakfast ..not flavoursome food. Idli so hard .parotta ..oh my god . My tooth got loose . My crown almost broke . For south indian ..it is far from it . Food is not tasty . Service was reasonable . Place decor is decent . Prices ok . My advise ..avoid parotta and idli .

Dosa Park Oxford offers a delightful breakfast that's both authentic and modern. Their 8 am breakfast dosas are crisp, delicious, and perfect for the health-conscious. Start your Sunday bright with their flavorful sambar and fresh chutneys. It's the ideal spot for a nourishing and satisfying morning meal. Highly recommended!!!

Food was amazing! All cooked from fresh. Very good breakfast. Will definitely be back 😃

Worst south indian food i have ever eaten, too much oil in every thing like Rasam, chutneys, sambhar, dosa, and chilli paneer. It seems that the cook believes that oil alone makes the food tasty. Aweful coffee.

The food was really great. Finally got feel of Indian taste. Service was really good. ✅ Tea was really good. Keep the same taste.

Amazing food, true taste of Indian food

Food takes ages to arrive and taste was so blant.

The first impression is great especially the kotthu parota is really nice, taste wise perfect South Indian flavour

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant last night. Most of us tried the thali, which was superb. I think we all agreed that the food and service excellent. Will definitely return to try more South Indian specialties in the future. I’m looking forward to trying the dosa on the next visit. The mango lassi are amazing.

Dosa park has good range of vegetarian options. However, service is bit slow. We ordered full meals, by the time they got us second Roti that I asked to serve I had finished my meals. It was a little disappointing.

Food was good, but the wait time was really long even though we ordered only two items.

South Indian food is my absolute favourite, so much so, my wife tells me I'm fussy. If this is the case I'm here to say the food here is excellent. I was in Oxford for work. I came three nights in a row, I was that happy. The staff were great.

We left our bags here for storage and the went walking around Oxford before returning to eat. This is an outstanding Indian Restaurant. The Chicken Vindaloo is the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff were very hospitable and our orders for five diners arrived quite promptly.

I recently had a disappointing experience at Dosa Park, I visited this place on a weekday. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was hit with an unpleasant odour that lingered throughout my meal. I ordered a set dosa, vada, chana masala, paratha, and chapati. The batter for the vada and dosa was completely unsalted and lacked flavour, making it bland. The chutneys and sambar served alongside were unsalted and tasteless as well. The chana masala was a letdown, with undercooked chickpeas and a runny gravy that was essentially just tomato puree with no seasoning. To add insult to injury, the paratha and chapati were made with maida (self rising flour) and were not cooked properly, which could have resulted in digestive issues given the uncooked chickpeas. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food and would not recommend Dosa Park to anyone. It's unfortunate that an Indian restaurant would serve food that is so poorly prepared, as it reflects poorly on the country's culinary reputation.

Dear All, Please DO NOT visit and avoid DISAPPOINTMENT and don't tell me that I didn't tell you in advance. I am a South Indian and love the food from my part of the world. It was lunchtime. Me and my friend unanimously decided to do for this place. She read positive reviews for "Dosa Park". Hands-on heart, this is the WORST South Indian food joint I have ever been to. I wish I could give a negative or ZERO star to this place. The moment we entered, it had a horrible stench in the air. We settled down and ordered Medu Vada as a starter. There was no salt in the vada and also there was no salt in the sambar. Then we ordered set dosa and chapatti and channa masala. The chapati were made from self-raising flour rather than wheat flour. Wow, what a horrible look. It was undercooked and I had to leave half of it. The plight did not end there. The chana masala was awful. In water tomato gravy, without any salt again, less than half of the tinned chickpea was added, heated and served—absolutely tasteless and horrible food. Look at the audacity of the waiters, they could say it was chana masala. A self-respecting South Indian would die of shame. I wish I could ask the chef to come to my home and teach him how to cook. Poor natives of this country think they are having "South Indian" food. What a disgrace. If you want to enjoy real South Indian food, please visit Sarvana Bhawan or Chennai Dosa. Thank you for reading and avoiding this place.

Gopesh, spoke to us and helped us get a Taxi back home. Friendly atmosphere

Dosa was not nice, potato mash seemed stale, tomato chutney was from raw not fried tomatoes which didn't taste good, the other white chutney was mostly water. Overall not the best South Indian food I have had.

Food was amazing Sam looked after me thank you.

Great dosas, good value for money. Nothing fancy but authentic

Spotted on my way to the train station had the masala dosa and vada washed down by a mango lassi amazing place and reasonable pricing for Oxford will go again and try the thali it looked amazing

Pathetic to say the least... the portion size and taste is so poor... never going back again 👎

Great place. Service a little slow but relaxed and great food most importantly. Really nice hosts

On our whole UK tour this is the best food I had .. all students working there have a pleasant approach and the food was amazing , just like having in India.. they did try justice to their tagline ‘South Indian’ food .

Good food but bad service. missed my order therefore i missed my train

We were really fooled by the Google reviews. We were shocked by the quality of food and very poor service of the restaurant. Cleanliness to be considered on priority and a service with smile is lacking. There is a good scope for the hotel management to improve their services considering the location.

Good place for South Indian food. Taste was good. I felt it's little expensive when compared with quantity. North Indian curry, Chapati was not so tasty but Idli, vada, chutney was yummy.

When you people search for Indian restaurants, this will be shown first with maximum reviews and most of them is positive.. BOOM! You are fooled! We ordered chicken kothu, chucken masala dosa, veg kothu, ghee podi dosa, samosa, gobi manchurian, medu vada and masala vada Chicken kothu: No salt, no masala Veg kothu: simply waste Ghee podi dosa: okayish… but sambar horrible no salt at all Medu vada: again no salt Masala vada: okayish Then comes the hero, the Gobi manuchurian Please don’t ever get this

Brilliant good, really polite driver

Kind and polite staff, and great food.

The food could have been improved a bit. I and my friend ordered Masala Dosa which was not crispy and Gobi Manchurian which was half cooked. On top of that sambhar was bad. Only good thing (deserves 3 stars) about this restaurant is that it has many options from Vegetarians and Milk Shakes were fully delicious 😋!

The flavour if the fried rice and masala dosa was nice and the food felt like home cooked. The staff were friendly and polite customer service Highly recommended

Great food and a great experience

Food was authentic and south Indian flavours. Yummy taste 😋

This is an amazing experience for me

Gone for lunch with my family.We ordered mutton biriyani and chicken tikka biriyani ,came very late and both meat half cooked and even we are not able to chew.Very disappointed.No customer care.I am not not recommending to eat here.

Halal food near Oxford train station.. The briyani chicken is nice but 🌶

Dosa Park has three locations within Oxfordshire. I have tasted their food at Park End St, the food was authentic and very tasty there. Considering my confidence in their franchise I tried their other 2 locations, one at Botley and another at Kidlington. The one at Botley is ONLY a take-away joint in an extremely industrial/garage site. Not at all for families to go. They have misguided people on their website and google by highlighting it as 'restaurant' while obviously it's not. The Kidlington one is absolutely poorly managed. The glasses were not washed. We went there to have lunch as a family. The restaurant was totally empty. The chef was arrogant and lazy. Our Malabar prawns were not well-cooked as our preference hence we asked the waiter to ask the chef to heat up the dish once again for the prawns to be well-cooked. The chef was sitting on another table and browsing on his phone. He didn't even bother to acknowledge the our request. The waiter was too weak to ask him again and brought back the dish. We politely requested again to the waiter to cook those prawns. He went again to the chef who was still sitting at the table playing on his phone. The chef was not happy, he reluctantly got up and took the dish with him to the kitchen. We felt very uncomfortable there after this episode. The food was not cheap and the taste was pathetic. Nothing close to 'south Indian' in any shape or form. I will never recommend this location of Dosa Park to anyone. Their chef is extremely rude and negative. Who wants to eat what he prepares?

We had the breakfast options from Dosa Park and the food was really good. The Indian breakfast and Masala Dosa were very tasty, could feel the taste of authentic South Indian food. The chai was also nice and the chutneys tasted yummy. Value for money and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly recommend this place. Not only was the dosa perfect, but when I explained I had a train to catch and asked how long it would take, they told me 10 minutes. It took 5. I will definitely come back next time I'm going to Oxford station

The Dosa Park group of restaurants seems to offer wildly varying dining experiences. After a rave review from a family member about food delivered from the Botley restaurant, we ordered a meal to be delivered from the Kidlington take-away-only branch. We had high expectations, but unfortunately the food turned out to be underwhelming at best, below par at worst. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. Go figure...

Amazing south indian food. Tried something i had never before- kothu parantha, which was sooo good. Even the dosas were quite authentic

To be honest, the price didn’t match with the food, the portions are too small!!!

In my opinion, it is not a good place to eat the main course, because the portions are far from enough to eat and the price is high. But the service is good.

In my opinion Really expensive for the quality and the quantity! Small portion of chicken curry (a chicken breast or less 11£)

It’s good for simple dishes like idle, vada, etc. not so much for main dishes.

Up until now, the best Indian food I had was in Singapore and because of proximity of quality ingredients, I did not think that I'm going to get any better unless I visit India. I was wrong! This was by far the best Indian meal I ever had. Highly recommend, the food is amazing!

High quality food, often have festival specials, fast, good value. What's not to like? Suppose is a bit tatty and worn inside and menus have seen better days.

The worst curry in oxford No flavour no quality Cold and unappealing Don't eat here Bought a takeaway on Wednesday night nothing at all to like about this meal

Disappointing. this was the second time we have tried the new Botley Dosa Park- and our initial impressions were confirmed. The food was average at best, served on cold plates, and the service was very poor. Half of our order was delayed by half an hour so our party of 4 did not eat together- not a great experience. It is a shame that with a nice new restaurant and apparently plenty of staff, this was not a better night out. We had had similarly poor experience both of food and service earlier, when getting a takeaway. We will not be returning.

Dont spoil your mood by going there.. also its waste of your money.

The food was good. We had Chicken Biriyani and Masala Tea. The quantity of Biriyani was enough for an adult's appetite. We visited there before noon, therefore, it was quiet and only a few people were there and the service was good. Masala tea doesn't feel like a great Indian Masala tea, might be of fewer spices, not sure.

I would give it 0 if that was an option. Horrible food, stone cold and burnt! Avoid at all costs!

Very excited to go for a New Year’s Eve meal at the Dosa Park in Botley. Walked through the doors and was kept waiting for a significant amount of time and had to eventually go to a member of staff to be told its buffet only and could not order from the menu. The staff member then pointed to our table and told us he would be over soon to explain things. After waiting 5 minutes we had to go up to the bar to get somebody over to us to take a drinks order. (Only soft drinks available) Staff member explained about the buffet and we were then left to our own devices. We then visited the buffet to be met with empty trays and what was there was freezing cold. We stood looking at the kitchen to see if we could get someone’s attention but they were all busy and consumed with getting takeaway orders out of the door. (Orders from the menu I assume) The food was not palatable whatsoever and the standard was just poor from start to finish. It really put a dampener on what should have been the beginning of a lovely New Year’s Eve. The only shining is that we left and a few doors down found a lovely restaurant/bar called the fishtail lounge, which had fantastic attentive staff and the food looked 5 star so will look to return soon.

Absolutely incredible food and friendly staff! I first tried dosa in Chennai a few years ago and have struggled to find somewhere since that delivered that same authentic feeling. Dosa park has filled that void and I will be making a regular appearance here whenever I'm back in Oxford. Definitely one to visit if you're in the area!

I stopped using this restaurant, despite its convenient location oppose the railway station, because of a couple of poor experiences some time ago. After a lunch just before Christmas, I am happy to endorse the findings of others that once again this is a great place for a meal. A dosa and a curry, plus two good lassis and fresh papadums made for an excellent meal. Prices are higher than on my last visit, but where aren't they as a result of inflation. Service was smooth, and the staff take orders on a tablet: there is technology at the checkout. One tip, until they fix the door, don't sit near it as with delivery riders coming in and out to collect orders the fact that the door doesn't close properly is both irritating and lets in cold air. I have yet to try the Botley Branch, but will do so for an evening meal sometime early in the new year. think the ambiance there is a little more up-market, but I come for the food not the surroundings at a restaurant such as Dosa Park. I will be back.

One of the best indian Restaurant in Oxford. Good quality of foods. Their chicken fried rice is too good, must try item, Highly recommended. Butter chicken was average for me. nice ambience and good staff courtesy. Little bit cozy for 2 person.

Really lovely authentic South Indian food served here, I dined here on a work trip, the food tasted like home ! Prag who was the waiter that was serving me was very friendly and helpful recommending various different dishes. The chicken tikka biriyani is a must try !

Authentic South Indian dish served in Oxford

Dosa Park is a basic cafe serving hearty south Indian classics, such as dosa and thali. The Dosa Park Special, with a bit of everything, is a show-stopper. Don't forget a glass of Desi/Masala chai.

Both biryani dishes were dry and the lamb was tough. The vegetable curry had two huge pieces of undercooked potato. The poppadums were in a thousand pieces.

Genuine food , Genuine pricing, Smiling service. What more can one ask after a long day of sightseeing in Oxford. Authentic, Heavenly Indian food.

So good for vegan options, we were very impressed. Amazing masala dosa and vada, we will definitely be coming back

Good taste. Slightly on the higher price range compared to other South Indian Tiffin restaurants

Chicken Pakora flavor was very good, but no mint or plum chutney? Served with ketchup? I know this is a college town but teach the kids the value of complimentary flavors. Chicken Tikka over spiced to the point of losing flavor of the chicken. Chicken cook was good and tender, but heat of spice dominates the dish.
