Karma in Oxford

Seriously good food packed with flavor! I was kind worried when putting the takeaway order after reading some bitter reviews, but then there wasn’t much choice ( so starving can’t think!) so I hit GO. Man that was a great move! The delivery was faster than it shown in UberEat, and the Madras Chicken and mixed tandoori just fulfilled the spicy level of the day! I will definitely order again!

not good no meat in sauce I'll be surprised if it was the right order.

The best quality curry I've had in years. Really rich and delicious mains with amazing breads. Efficient and attentive service. Great drinks. Highly recommend.

We went for a family get together, and love Karma because of its wonderful atmosphere and amazing menu. One of our party was new to Indian food, and the waiter was brilliant how he talked her through what would be best for her. We all enjoyed our meals and are going to be back there very soon.

Great friendly, helpful staff. Lovely, flavoursome, well cooked and presented food.

Very good food with prompt delivery

The food was very tasty. I have no complaints. I will definitely be ordering again.

food overall was really good, pilau rice could have been slightly more flavourful but it was made up for by the fact the curry was really amazing. the only thing that let the meal down was that the poppadoms were a bit stale. would absolutely eat here again though, best curry I've had in Oxford so far.

Great food. Amazing flavour. Would recommend!

Food was lovely and the staff were very friendly

really beautiful food. Best Indian we've had in Oxford.

Very bad experience. Flies in the restaurant, which they said they couldn't do anything about and made no effort to stop. They said nobody had ever complained about it before and it's not his problem. He has been in UK for 20 years he said so I must be wrong to say there shouldn't be flies in restaurants or eating place. Most disappointing behavior and never would recommend..

Always fast delivery and excellent food

The food was brilliant here and the service was very good. Plenty of curries to choose from and a reasonable price.

Arrived 1.5hrs after ordering and the wrong food delivered

Excellent meal and delivery every time I have used

Felt brave enough to order a Chicken Tika Vindaloo with Pilau Rice and two Chapatis. I wasn't left disappointed, the chilli strength and helping was just perfect for me, and satisfied my urge for curry spice 🌶🌶🌶😋

Good value, great flavour, good portion size, good quality

We always head for Karma when we decide to eat Indian cuisine. We've contemplated going elsewhere but Karma is so good we always end up there. Food is fantastic, staff and atmosphere are amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, great experience, great value, what else is there to be said

One starter missing paneer ! Ordered 2 only sent one

Had the set meal for 2, and on first glance you think it’s generous for the £ paid, but the reality is it’s a LOT of sauce (and onion), not a lot of meat, and the carbs (rice, naan) need to be more generous in portion. We even rang the restaurant back to check the portion size of rice was correct, for 2 people one small portion of rice and half a naan isn’t sufficient. The curries are good, mixed starter was tasty (a little oily but still enjoyable), the paneer really nice but the balance just wasn’t there as there isn’t enough to go with it/soak it up. It says you get poppadoms, but you literally get 2… come on folks, it wouldn’t break the bank to give 2 per person. Overall OK but not sure we would get again.

1 x rice missing but very good food and very prompt delivery

Really nice curry good portion size, with a friendly service.

Food was good and the service was impeccable. My son broke a glass and they were kind and happy to help it was great experience would recommend.

Got butter chicken from here never again. Found a cherry in there. Must be main and dessert served as one.

Excellent service with quality food and excellent delivery

The bulk of my order arrived cold, the mushrooms used weren’t fresh ( they were days old, tasted stale and black). Both curries were cold, the korma sauce was thin and watery and the tikka masala had an odd taste. Never had a bad experience with karma before but this meal was cold, tasted horrible and not worth the money I paid.

Excellent meal and super fast delivery,I have tried many many restaurants but certainly found a go to for excellent tasty food,I hope it continues

Good service. Decent atmosphere. Half warm food.. and it was their signature dish. Not good value for your money.

Quick delivery and very nice food 🤌

Great curry , nice a quick and nice flavour

Excellent food and delivery spot on used twice now and been perfect hope it continues

Very very good tasty food and delivery with large portion sizes.

Really lovely new years eve meal, will definitely be coming back soon!

Food was way over priced would never visit again and there was hair in my naan food has made me sick and made my stomach funny

Love the food and the vibe - great service from staff - one of my favourite Indian restaurants too

Lovely food and staff are helpful and friendly

Ordered the set meal for one via delivery app, picking from the available options including mixed starter and mixed grill. They phoned me up and rudely tried to coerce me into changing my order as apparently my options were "too much food". I said I'd like my order to be honored as these were the selected options on the app. They hung up and cancelled my order.....Terrible cheapskate restaurant. Avoid.

We come here often and here's why. The food is exquisite, never burnt, and good portions. The environment is very comfortable and the service is traditional and friendly. The music is lounge/house and good quality. Toilets are clean and hygienic. I recommend this restaurant. We also get takeaways, but I prefer eating in.

The food was good, edible. Tried chicken biriyani which did not gave great taste but the kebab was great. Worst service, no manners from the staff, rude behaviour, they asked us to pay the service charge forcefully, when I spoke with my rising voice the guy started fighting and pulling my jacket. But the owner was really great, handled situation well. Worst staff I have ever seen.

Absolutely delicious as always x

Great tasting food, quality service and reasonably priced.

The best so far in Oxford 5/5 excellent

The restaurant itself is nice.....Good atmosphere and decent service, but the food is terrible. Tasteless - very odd texture to the keema, almost like your eating a paste rather than minced lamb - old 'not quite fresh' taste to the chicken and not the right blend of spices used giving the dishes a very bland taste. Standard trickery of large chunks of onion, peppers and tomatoes in the dishes - this was of course used to bulk out each dish so they give you less meat. Although the service and atmosphere were OK, you pay for the food which was not up to scratch considering the ridiculous prices charged. If you KNOW what curries are supposed to taste like, avoid like the plague - you will be disappointed. Also....£15 for poppadoms and chutney???? - this is usually complimentary in most other restaurants and only mentioned this when we got the bill!

The food is at best stale. I ordered the duck and you could tell that the meat wasn't good/fresh. Had a rotten flavour. They had nice chips but the rest of the food was all stale. Even the onions had been refried with multiple layers of flour. It was vile

One of the best takeaways i had from them a few months ago, spicy biryani and the tarka dhall was great.

Food was so horrible, chewy chicken and runny curry. Not nice :(

Very happy. Good food. Good service. World class.

Haven’t had a takeaway for a long time so was looking forward to this - and it didn’t disappoint. Delicious!

Good food. Staff is very cooperative.. they served halal.

Just ignore this place, honestly!

Missing rice, said they would deliver and never did

Monday night - it's an odd night to choose for dinner out, but sometimes it's necessary and I'm so glad that places are open. We had the place to ourselves, which was pretty nice. It's a welcoming atmosphere with jazzy Indian-tinged beats providing a background buzz and staff with just the right level of attendance. Decent Cobra lager on draught for cheaper than the pub down the road - check... got a feeling I'm going to like this place. Poppadums arrived with large pots of sauce of differing colours and one of oniony bits. Personally I like a chunky lime pickle, but there were no complaints from anyone at the table as we powered through the crispy stack as if we'd not eaten in days. Just as we were finishing up, some starter samosas arrived. Four between three of us (ie. two portions) - almost came to blows for the last one. Pastry was fine, nothing really to write home about, but the filling was really where the magic happened - spicy, umami, with a slight crunch. Pretty much perfect. Next the mains arrived - a mixture of classic indian dishes. Mostly with cheese for a largely-veggie party. All were perfect in their own way - classic dishes perhaps, but each had its own twist, its own pleasant surprise. Dhal to die for and really I'm finding it hard to pick out another star turn as everything was so great. The korai dish was way saucier than expected, but what a sauce. Mattar paneer had a lovely balance of creaminess and flavours to cut through the cream. I could go on... We'd gone out locally for a bog-standard Indian meal but clearly we hit the jackpot. We'll be back for sure - evern moreso because it's just a 10min walk from home.

Lovely little restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food. What more do you want.

We booked to go here whilst in the area based on trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. Seated as soon as we walked in, ordered and good amount of different dishes including duck which for me was rare to see at an Indian restaurant. Food was delicious and decent portions too. Thank you for a lovely evening. I gave 4 as atmosphere as it was quiet and only a few people in. I am sure if it was full and busier it would be more lively.

Amazing food as always :) thank you

love the owners great food. best authentic off menu stuff. ask for it!!!

don't look like much from the outside but the food was lovely went it come out

My friends and I ordered from Karma seeing the good reviews. Unfortunately, I’m sorry to say that it was the worst food that I’ve had in a long time. We ordered some biriyani and tikka. The biriyani was completely tastless it tasted like a bland version of fried rice. The worst was the malai tikka which ideally should be made with lot of attention and finesse to bring out the right flavour. The malai tikka we ordered was a completely new dish unlike anything we had tasted before. The malai tikka had literally cheese melted onto it with some sautéed onions and peppers again a combination I have never seen before. Please DO NOT visit them and get conned.

We had a good evening with friends last night and enjoyed the dinner very much. Thank you. Sandra Bates

Got over charged and food not up to scratch,alot better indians in oxfordcand cheaoer

It's my local curry place; something that is getting rarer these days. I usually have a veggie jalfrezi which is good - both sorts of green chillies in it which is what you want. The staff are super friendly. I wasn't so sure about the weird external patio thing they built and then partially unbuilt. That was weird.

Food arrived early and was absolutely lovely! Thank you

Ordered some dinner as a payday treat, 2 curries, 2 sides, poppadoms and 2 sauces. One of the sauces wasn't even what we ordered. The curry I had (chicken makhani) was bland and the chicken had an awful texture that first made me think it was raw, but now seems like it was a bad microwave job. The poppadoms were so oily and greasy, the chippy was jealous and demanded their oil back. The other curry (chicken tikka bhuna) was meh. The only saving grace is that they atleast read the notes you write to inform them of allergy needs. ALSO, sort out that dodgy £10 off coupon on your website. No one likes to be deceived.

The food was delicious and it was delivered hot. Totally worth it.

Prices are great, the food portion is amazing and tastes amazing. I will be going back soon.

The food was well prepared and the portion size was amazing. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly.

Friendly neighborhood Indian restaurant. Always feel welcomed by the lovely staff

For the money I paid it was cold lacked flavour and one dish had only 5 small piece of chicken and a tub full of sauce. Really dissatisfied not even any condiments provided poor stay away

For what I was charged extremely disappointing. I ordered 2 chicken dishes where one was heavily infused with chilli and onions the other lacking chicken and mainly sauce. I got it delivered and was surprised when I had a call to say he was outside when the app showed it wasn't even out for delivery yet. I got no complimentary salad sauces. The food was cold and what taste there was left in your mouth was awful. Went to bed hungry. Would never give 1 star as they are obviously trying. Sorry wount be re ordering.

Great service and the food was delicious 😋

Delivery driver was flossing his teeth as I opened the door and he handed me my food with his peice of floss hanging from his mouth

Really enjoyed our meal here, the service was really good with some helpful menu suggestions when we couldn't decide what to go for. Food was excellent - poppadoms and onion bhajis were great and i had a lovely mild, creamy tiger prawn curry. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Good food, good service, never disappointed

Absolutely delicious as always! The driver is lovely too 😊

Everything was fabulous! Bombay potato excellent! lovely chap dropped takeaway off.

Food was cold will not be ordering there again

Pleasant atmosphere, very stylishly decorated.

We had a Takeaway delivered to our Hotel. Really excellent food and a great service. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the food , which was hot and on time.

Amazing food, and a very comfortable atmosphere. Would like to highly recommend.

Good luck service great food and consistent

Great customer service. Good Foods

Very nice take away I think the lamb was a little bit hard but the chicken was lovely.

Very Small portion size, this restaurant might be affected too much due to crisis, on top Half cooked chicken, Big shame

Lovely, attentive staff. Really tasty food.

quick delivery, good food,,as usual

First time coming here and will definitely return. Friendly service with generously portioned, very tasty food prepared quickly.

What lovely food we had mixed grill and chilli garlic chicken well cooked beautiful meal only negative was lukewarm but nothing the microwave couldn’t deal with

We ordered a takeaway and the curry wasn't particularly flavourful or spicy. We ordered a Balti and Bhuna and they both tasted the same. It was a shame as was looking forward to trying for the first time. Don't think we will visit again. Staff were very friendly though!

Food was fantastic, arrived on time piping hot. Only downfall was they forgot my bottle of coke!

Consistency fantastic I don’t need to go anywhere else cheers gang great job

Disappointed with tonight's meal. The chicken tikka starter was very chewy and taste less. Peshwari Naan was not stuffed. It was just a plain naan bread with a thin layer of desiccated coconut spread on the top. Dansak curry I was expecting it to be a hot sweet and sour tasting curry. Mine just tasted like a very hot rich tomato curried sauce to be honest. On the plus side the rice was nice and fluffy and delivery was super quick.

Good choices of food. Very friendly staff. Recommended.

Found a bone in the chicken korma

Some of our order was missing, however after calling they redelivered missing item apologised and gave us a couple of extras free! Mistakes happen but handling them well is the main thing, would order from here again.

Excellent food, friendly service.

So glad I discovered this restaurant ! Food was exceptional! Absolutely delicious and so full of flavour ! Driver was very polite and it was delivered early so always a bonus !! Will definitely order again !

The 4 hygeine eating was a bit off putting. But was tasty food. Bit oily. Vindaloo wasn't spicy. But yeah tasted nice still
