Lal's Deli in Oxford

Food is colder than ice and overpriced as hell

As someone who works in hospitality and has to open up at a certain time and work for greeneking myself At least change your time if you don't open at 12 like Google and your front door says

I have ordered coffee 4 times there over the last 6 months, and everytime it has been undrinkable. The Americano in particular is bitter water with no taste of coffee. I noticed that their espresso brewhead is much shallower than most coffee machines, so they pack much less coffee than in other cafes. I had coffee with other people here and all have the same complaints. The cakes and pastries are fine though, that's why I give it a 2.

I visited this place today and ordered a mixed kebab which contained doner meat and chicken sharwarma. The portion was decent and the meat was fresh and well seasoned, placed in a lovely naan bread. I made it a meal so was given some fries which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - just perfect! I will definitely be returning to this place and hope that they can be consistent with their quality and service.

The staff here go way, way above and beyond for this company. Having to both cook and then deliver the food themselves, this isn't the first time this has happened. Crazy that they're put in this position, they deserve better.
