Jool in Cherwell

Good ambience, good service, good food. A large menu. Was in a doubt what to choose.

Food is great, great choice to choose from, customer service is exceptional. Menu has a great variety to suit all needs. Take out option available.

Jool is the best indian in banbury by far and my favourite dining/take out restaurant to have a meal with friends. The staff are grate and friendly plus the food is absolutely beautiful.

Had takeaways from Jool in the past but decided to dine in tonight. Lovely staff & the food was amazing! Could not be more pleased we called in tonight - thank you!

Wouldn't order from here again. Please see the end of this description for the items ordered and their prices via JustEat. The Tikka Masala was nice and rich, this was one of, if the only, redeeming factor of the meal ordered. It should be mentioned that although the sauce was nice there were 7 medium sized chunks of chicken. The rice wasn't anything to write home about, merely rice with onions paired inside. The chutney sauces were half filled, full liquid and sour and the Naan was uncooked and doughy. The Naan was very disappointing, it was small and bad tasting. To wrap it all up the chips were hard and again not good tasting. There are other options in the area that provide a better meal for a similar price. Admittedly the delivery driver was really pleasant and the meal was delivered earlier than expected. Tikka Masala, Chicken 8.50 Fried Rice, Onion 2.95 2x Chutneys, Mango 1.40 Plain Naan 2.50 Chips 2.10

Take away, eat in, food is delicious. Service and staff are fantastic and lovely people. Can't recommend this place enough. Amazing restaurant.

Best indian restaurant in town, I can recommend.

Great service and fantastic food

Top class curry house- decent value and great food. Staff always friendly. I would not go anywhere else

Amazing and always worth a try. portion size is amazing for the price and the mains are equally as good. The drinks are fairly priced and taste lovely. The service we had was fabulous and caring, we will be returning soon

Once again we ventured here to eat after visiting the Mill Arts Centre, this time with my brother and his wife, who love Indian food. We were all absolutely delighted with our meal, and also the friendly and efficient service. We chose the set meal for 4, and were amazed at the variety and quality of the dishes that seemed to keep on arriving! There was a small mix up on the starter in terms of a missing item and an extra item … but speedily rectified with a smile and an apology. Overall a wonderful meal, and a ridiculously small bill to complete the satisfaction. We will return next time we are in the area for a show/gig. Thank you. (Although we would have preferred not to have the ‘Happy Birthday’ track on continuous play after the family party had finished …. we went to sleep with it ringing in our inner ears!)

Had a takeaway and it was perfect, gonna make this my go to curry house. Thank you guys

We spent an early New Year here, meal at 6pm. Very friendly welcome, really lovely food and excellent wine. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it made our New Year celebration very relaxed and with the added bonus of delicious food!

Not good Ordered a delivery via deliveroo. That part was good, swift, no hassle. The food itself, its hard to describe. Sauces very garish in colour, no authenticity to the taste, texture. The chicken was odd, slices of processed chicken perhaps? Definitely not chucks of chicken. I had the chicken molawa, it was tasty but didn't look appetising. My husband had chicken tikka, he couldn't eat much as it was very vinegary. I would not recommend.

Staff is nice😋 Enjoyed birthday eve at jool with my parter Thank you jool😋😋

Best indian food in banbury. Loved their tandoori chicken😋🥰

Excellent food and very good customer service

We booked a table for eight person for my sister's birthday.honestley the best Indian food we tried after a long time. Everyone enjoyed the food. Ended up with complimentary drinks which was great too. Defiantly we will be back Recommended

Beautiful food, served piping hot. The naan bread was amazing. The food was so tasty. 10/10

Disappointed, very bland, gave a few tries, all taste the same

Excellent dinner. We ordered a couple of dishes to take away and both were delicious. The naans are fluffy and really tasty. I definitely recommend. A shame so much plastic is used but the rest is fab.

After a longtime had an excellent authentic indian curry.all of us enjoyed our food. Very reasonable price, with decent service. Highly recommended this place if someone like real indian curry

We order a lot from Jool however it is normally done via Just Eat. The food has been always great and they are normally on time if not early with delivery. Today we ordered direct and our order is still not with us.. Phoned the restaurant twice and being told food is on the way…the guy is literally round the corner. With the restaurant literally 5 minutes up the road I don’t see why it is taking over 35 mins to get to us…! Would order through this place however not direct - takes triple the time and now I am almost certain if I even get my food tonight it will be cold after being driven around for 35+ mins! Not happy and tummy rumbling!

Excellent food, very authnetic, resonably price and great portions! Service was also fantastic, staff are so friendly!

My husband and I came here as we was staying over in Bambury for the day. The onion bhajis were delicious but the chicken tikka was awful, so chewy and tough it didnt even taste like chicken , so no way was that chicken ! Nice restaurant nice staff but unfortunately for this reason i would not return !

Best food I'm eat in banbury. Jool have good food.

Came in for a catch-up with a great friend I've not seen for some time. Had a great evening with great food. Great service would definitely recommend easily best curry in Banbury.

Some of the best food and service you will find in the area. Regularly visit and get takeaway from Jool and am always highly satisfied. The team are great and always make it a great evening out. The food is absolutely fantastic - and the chefs are always happy to accommodate (e.g. making vegan versions of their dishes). Absolutely recommend anyone visit Jool for a great meal out.

We order from this Restaurant quite frequently, Food is always consistently very good, delivery is good too , we wouldn't try anybody else now

Going to the UK, besides Fish & Chips, you must eat Indian Food.Generally (in my personal opinion) it cannot go wrong. The Standard is certainly within expectation. Would I revisit The Standard? Definitely! But, one word of advice, do make reservation days in advance. If not, unless you start your dinner at 5.30pm, you will not be able to get a space.

Wow! This place is a find. Went originally due to a Meerkat Meals deal but have since been back. Quick friendly service, delicious food and more of it than you can eat for a great price so I took some home. Would highly recommend and they do take-out. 👍🏻

Had a takeaway from Jools. It was a first time order and was delighted by the food. It really was lovely. The quality was very good and the price not over the top.. thank you Jools

Absolutely superb restaurant. The service and food was great and good value for money. The staff were very friendly, professional and extremely helpful. Overall, it was a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend.

I have the fussiest little 9yo eater and he just rated the tandoori butter chicken the best he has eaten, in the world. My lamb saag was equally delicious! The team providing great service. Fast and fresh.

Me and my BF love curry. We had tarka dahl and chicken madras tonight and it was delicious. We will continue to order in the future and won't be going anywhere else. Lovely driver too 🙂

Best place for authentic Indian food

We booked a reservation for 7pm on a Saturday however we didn’t need to book as the restaurant was very quiet. Normally this would lead us to think the food might be questionable. How far from the truth, the food was excellent from the mixed pickles and popadoms to the vindaloo and dry chicken tikka we ordered. I have been to numerous Indian restaurants and would definitely recommend this restaurant. One of the best for me. I should also say the staff were very attentive and looked after us very well. Well done.

Excellent food,excellent service

We had a lovely meal here and the staff were very friendly

Called in here as a group of six on a quiet Monday night. The restaurant was empty however the staff accommodated us and we were looked after. The food was tasty and reasonably priced and we didn’t feel rushed. Would recommend this restaurant.

We have not been customers of Jool until last night when we ordered a takeaway meal for five of us. It was hands down the best Indian food we had had in a very long time. Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend and will definitely be my first choice next time we want to enjoy some top class Indian food.

Went there this evening had a lovely meal

I ordered the food from Jool on 18/03/2023. I wish to give you 5 stars, unfortunately 4 stars will be fair for this time. The food was really good and tasty, especially the Balti Chilli, I loved.....not I but we loved it so much. Balti chilli from Jool is a must to try if you guys love spicy food. Despite your food is so delicious, your delivery was a downside for me. My order was late for an hour. Hope when I order again, it'll deliver on time. Mixed starter, balti chilli and tandoori chicken are our favorites and a must try when order from Jool and plain naan was superb as well, loved the smoky smell from the naan. (Nanik Wahab)

Jool is a jewel!...Went for my birthday and the food was delicious. Excellent service and great choice.....also reasonably priced. We are from out of town, and can be difficult when you've no one to ask!.....Read the reviews and took a chance. It did not disappoint!...Travelling on a boat on the canal and we could walk to the restaurant in 6 mins. Hope we can revisit one day.

We were only travelling through Banbury and were looking for a restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Looked at Google reviews for Jool and I'm pleased to say we were not disappointed. Excellent food and service that was reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.Hopefully will be able to return one day.

Fantastic hospitality, food and atmosphere, not to be missed, thank you

Amazing food Great delivery service arrived on time Would highly recommend

Very nice food, reasonable price and good customer service. Would definitely eat here again.

My favourite Indian restaurant in Banbury whether eat in or takeaway, great service. Vigilant with dietary requirements. Excellent value for money.

Good quality food at a reasonable price. Dishes are sweeter than expected, would recommend going one hotter than usual here. Delivery on a Sunday night was 30mins though it stated 50mins, so don’t be put off by the delivery time.

Very good food, very good staff and owner, even got a couple of shots on the house. Wonderful evening. Also very friendly staff. Thanks

Have not been or ordered from here in years, Definitely going to be the 1st place we go when we fancy an Indian. Food was delicious and hot, we all had empty plates.

Really delicious tasty meal stumbled across this place was really lovely. Food was great, service too. Would recommend I chose a darjeeling was so packed with flavour came with rice My partners naga was hot n spicy just how he likes 10/10

Wow what can I say! There are not enough words to relay my opinions about this fab establishment. The waiter was fantastic very knowledgeable and helpful in our food choices and what a marvellous choice there was. We had a meal in another restaurant the night before in the same street and left hungry and disappointed, in jools we left full as whelks with a doggy bag as we could not eat it all the portions were a very satisfying size and the side dishes were very filling. Would definitely recommend jools to anyone living in or passing through Banbury to have this as their go to Asian food restaurant. As arnie says I will be back.

Good food and prompt friendly service.

Best chilli paneer ever tried in UK. 😋😋😋

Superb mouthwatering food by far, the very best in Banbury. Greeted and treating fabulously by the staff 👍

Lovely, lovely food with great portions. Delivered on time and hot. Reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommend.

Had dinner at Jool tonight for the first time. Service and food 10/10 cannot fault the place at all.

Had a lovely meal at Jool last night, very friendly service and great food. Chef’s special King Prawn dish was delicious as was the Tandoori Chicken. Thank you, we will be back

Simply amazing.beautiful food so much choice.excellant service.will visit again.🙂

What a find this restaurant was. Have to say this was some of the best Indian food we’ve had. Great choice of dishes. We went for Onion Bhaji starter, South Indian Chilli Chicken and Chicken Shashlick Bhuna. Everything was cooked perfectly and the spicing was...

Had Biriyani and Tandoori Chicken. The food wasn't nice - taste wise and not authentic. Service was good.

My favourite restaurant. Best chicken biriani I have ever tasted, quick service, friendly staff, clean tables. Jool is really good value for money and everything is delicious. I have been to Jool multiple times and it consistently matches this review.

Average food. Cheaper deal on Thursday but would rather it was more expensive and better quality. Decor could do with refresh. Decent enough service.

Went in with my mrs for a meal and had an amazing evening. Food was delicious with great hospitality

Banging lamb curry for dinner I would definitely recommend jool to anyone thinking of ordering a curry the food is really nice 5☆☆☆☆☆

We had a very good meal at jool everyone was happy and we all enjoyed the company of the staff we couldnt thank them enough would definitely recommend going here for a curry best Indian in town by far

We often go to jool ,excellent food ,tasty plentiful, warm welcome 🙏 well done guys ,try them out you won't be disappointed

Had a mooch around the town and this place seemed the busiest which is usually a good sign. Service was good, chicken tikka jalfrezi was decent and overall can't complain.

Had a takeaway from Joel, food was very good and the portions were quite satisfying. The mixed starter had a good variation, shame the onion bhaji was a little wet by the time it arrived. The chicken saga was very good as well as the Keema naan.

First time we had eaten here, but it won't be the last. Food was excellent and the service was first class and fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend this place.

I visited with friends last night for a birthday meal. We sat down around 7pm and our food didn’t get to the table until 8:45pm. They seemed to be prioritising the takeaway and online orders over people in the restaurant. The food is lovely but...

Another great meal here last night. Come here with old friends once every couple of months, always great food and great service. Great advice from the waiter if you're not sure what to have.

The food, hospitality and quality were amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for the guys working in here and never had anything bad. The portion sizes are huge and the meat and veg delicious. Great value too!

We ate in on a banquet night, nothing was too much effort for these waiters, and the cooked up the most delicious food I have had in a long long time. We always get a takeaway from here most weeks now, and I am pleased...

Delicious and filling food at a reasonable price (just pay attention to what comes with rice/naan and what doesn't). The staff was friendly and food was ready rather quickly.

Lovely food - tasty, quality and excellent value. The service was very good and it was a very enjoyable meal . Staff were keen to please.

One of the best I've tested excellent rate it in the top 2 of all the 50 Indian restaurants I've visited this year

Although I went here with my partner a year ago, we are still haunted by this horrendous culinary experience and I can no longer avoid testifying on how bad the food was. To give you the details, we were first served popodoms with chutneys- one was of a very un-natural green colour and tasted foul. We moved onto the starters which were various types of meat kebabs but again the red colour was very bright and artificial looking and tasted of poor quality. The mains were the worst part of the meal and unedible- we ordered Mango chicken and prawn tikka masalsa curry. What was shocking was that we found an insect (looked like a booklice) in the sickly sweet mango chicken sauce and the chicken was of very poor quality. The other curry did not have real prawns and the curry overall was bland and tasteless. Needless to say, we went home on an empty stomach because the food was awful and disgusting! Then lets talk about the service. Although the waiter seemed friendly, he kept talking to us during the entire meal, interrupting our conversations and asking very personal questions. What should have been a romantic evening ended being an awkward moment. Finally I should add that later on in the evening, we could hear the waiter arguing with other staff in the kitchen and shouting, which was very unpleasant. Added to the appaling food quality, this made us feel like our worst restaurant experience ever. After this experience we were so shocked and felt so intimidated by the waiter shouting that we wanted to leave immediately. Overall, I think this place should be shut down for hygiene issues. Avoid!!!

Excellent food and fantastic customer service! Chef and waiter were also happy to create a bespoke dish on request! I've had takeaway countless times from Jool and would recommend eating in or takeaway to anyone.

Yet again another delicious meal from jool Food was fresh ,hot and plentiful delicious would definitely recommend

What a place to eat, absolutely fantastic! Super staff and super food, the very best Chicken Dupiaza i have ever eaten and I have eaten quite a few here in my home town of Leicester. Many thanks to all the staff who were so friendly and polite.

My partner and I ate in here again last night, the staff & food are always top notch. I've tried other Indian restaurants in town, but none of them come close. Thanks Jool, keep up the good work.

Took advantage of their Monday offer, £10.95 for starter, main, side dish and rice or naan. Excellent value and excellent food. Service really good and I am at a loss to understand why it was not busier.

Super service and food! One of the nicest owners I've ever met. Thank you so much for the food akhi. Peace to you.

I visited from Nottingham and was very satisfied with meal and service I recieved. The restaurant was a comfortable and cosy environment with presentable wash facilities for me to use on my arrival.

Tasty food, brilliant experience... thanks for the great service

Brilliant Food, staff pleasant and well accommodating to all of our needs and dietary requirements 5 * well recommended..Thankyou

Visited twice in the last month, First time party of 9 second time party of 6.Everyone agreed the food was top class and services excellent. Gave us ice bucket for wine and pint glasses for beer.I can't praise the restaurant enough.

Best Indian in Banbury by far, great service and very friendly staff who are very attentive. Would 100% recommend to anyone around Banbury.

Lovely food and quick service. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will return when in the area again and will recommend. Delight

Had a lovely meal and sides from here, nice and hot food and plenty of it, Garlic rice and chicken Pasanda, a polite phone call from the restaurant after I made a mistake, quick delivery and the delivery driver was really friendly. Very enjoyable.

A visitor to Banbury and dropped in here for an early meal. We were warmly welcomed by Khan Meal was excellent. Pappadoms came with a generous serving of pickles and sauces The main courses were also a good size and nicely spiced Service was very good. Afterwards I read the Google reviews and quite honestly some of them must be for a different restaurant, fake or plainly malicious. We will definitely be returning

Excellent food. My wife is quite delicate in terms of food and whilst she likes hot/spicy stuff, greasy or too much gluten will cause her issues. Food was absolutely delicious and can thoroughly recommend.

Superb service ,lovely meal,very clean.

I love this restaurant! Always fabulous service and food. The gentleman was great! Engaged with the kids and talked us through the menu. They have some great offers as well on certain days!

One of the best Indian foods I’ve had. Came out hot and super tasty, the owner stopped for a chat, service was quick and friendly. And most importantly - Corbra and Kingfisher on tap :)

Excellent service with better quality food. Spent one of the best evenings and I was really satisfied for everything. Thanks Jool🙂

Went to this lovely place for the first time to have my anniversary meal with my wife the food was excellent staff was pleasant will have to come back for the next family meal
