Nawabi Tandoori in Oxford

Food tasted like it was cooked yesterday and reheated. The lamb Korma sauce was thick and congealed, lamb was tough. The chicken in the Bhuna was dry and chewy. Poppadoms and Onion Bhajis were dry and stale. Wont be ordering from Nawabi again.

absolutely lovely food will order again soon thank you so very much

the tikka massala's dominant flavour was coconut and the mint sauce for the puree was missing

excellent meal. Great quality .

Absolute rubbish, don't touch with a barge pole. Order never turned up despite two calls to enquire; just time wasters and should be shut down. Now ten PM and still no food.

The lamb was very tough. And the madras wasn’t that hot. I’ve had hotter madras from here. This was very low on the heat. Overall disappointing

I recently ordered from Nawabi Indian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the ingredients were clearly of high quality. Additionally, the delivery was impressively quick, ensuring that everything arrived hot and ready to enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!

the worse samosas I have ever had they were awful. biriyani was alright. there are far better Indian take aways to eat from.

2nd time of ordering a takeaway - What a wonderful service and our meal was 11/10. Massive portions (for us) and full of meat. Certainly would recommend

Great service and beautiful food 👌

food was great enjoyed every bit 😊

Great food. Always on time if not early. Driver is lovely.

Great to have vegetarian food that is not just diced vegetables, really nice!

Was a very nice meal. Thank you.

madras blew my head off. but it was lovely. and possibly the best saag paneer I have ever tasted. wow guys. thank you

Excellent food, absolutely delicious. We will be ordering again!

19:30 order food. Told will be delivered between 2035 and 2055. At 2000 I get text saying on its way. At 2020 I rang them and they said "he is delivering to more than just you". "So it will be cold then?" I replied. The controller told me they are in heat boxes and it will be fine. At 2040 it was delivered. The poor delivery driver was wet through and cold, but still in high spirits. The meal was FANTASTIC! still hot and perfect in every way. I apologise for my rudeness on the phone to the controller. Order with confidence.

Food was hot,tasty and delivered on time

Food was bland, biryani was oily and the meat in both korai’s were chewy. Garlic naan was burnt and the samosas were flavourless.

Not great. I wouldn’t recommend this takeaway.

Food was not cooked properly, no flavour to the curry!! tired to call restaurant before they closed they never answered, worse place ever dont eat from here

Wow, the lamb Dhansak, rice and garlic naan were all very good. Generous size of portions, which I can not say that every restaurant does. I collected within 20 minutes of ordering, so great service. I keep coming back to Nawabi as not only is it local, it is one of the best for quality.

I recently made an order from Nawabi and unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with the meal I ordered. The food was bland and tasted stale, and the chickpeas in particular were undercooked and lacked any discernible flavor. Won’t be ordering from here again!

Next time please cook your vegetables and try not to overcook the chicken.

a tiny bit late but worth the wait as it was very nice

Haven't had a meal from here for years after a bad experience. Saturday we decided to give it another go. We ordered a delivery at 5pm when they opened, I think this was a big mistake as it looked and tasted like yesterday's food. Poppadoms were stale and soft, onion bahji rock hard. Didn't taste fresh at all. Forgot our naan bread had to phone them, it was delivered in 10 minutes. Our bill was just over £56 which isn't cheap. Very disappointed 😞

As always and food pipping hot as always service always excellent

Food was bland. Won't be ordering again.

Worst delivery service I have ever encountered, food turns up luke warm and ALWAYS LATE, delivery drivers have no idea regarding Oxford adresses

Food was good but ordered for a specific time and it arrived just over an hour early. Not happy about that.

Amazing as always, best take away in oxford.

Delicious food, delivered on time. Thank you! We will be ordering again.

Fab place great food and nice people

Really tasty and delivered early

I ordered food which included a plain chicken burger Even though I called to remind them that it needed to be plain.. they said ‘just eat’ orders shouldn’t call and waste their time by calling. .. the food arrived cold and the burger was not plain… when I called the restaurant The rudeness I received was shocking. Food was cold and inedible. Will never order from this restaurant again.

Ordered a Makhani which states cooked with butter,almonds & cream, the dish that arrived was in a thick coconut sauce . Called restaurant to resolve but he was unhelpful & could not care less.

Received wrong dish. Rang restaurant who couldn't careless. Not the way to treat a regular!

All potatoes in sag aloo were not cooked & two out of the three bits of chicken in mixed starter was tough.

Nice driver, was delivered really quick. I had the chicken and lamb tikka kebab and the meat was disgusting, chewy, fatty and bland. The bread and chips was really nice and the salad was fresh, but the meat really let it down, ended up in the bin.

Good food, very tasty, it was delayed but they had the decency to notify me rather than just leaving me to wait. Will definitely order again.

Lovely tasty meal tonight, apart from the lamb being a little chewy.

Would have been perfect if it was hot, sadly it was cold had to microwave it.

The food was cold and the stuff was very rude on the phone I never got my refund back on the one off my order

We have ordered from Nawabi quite a few times and the food is always amazing

Best Indian takeaway I’ve had in Oxford! Naga chicken 👌

Earlybest takeaway, the food is always amazing.

The food was very good, in my opinion i can’t complain.

The food was well below the standard I would have expected. The curry (Lamb Dhansak) was cold. The potatoes in the Sag Aloo were not cooked properly. I will not order from them again if it is likely to be like this. Thank you, Mark Hawkes

Lovely restaurant always do fab food.

2nd time eating from here and was just as good as the first time. Glad to finally have found a good Indian take away

Perfect tonight. Very tasty and arrived nice and hot.

Lovely food just disappointed didn't get the onion bhaji

Food was lovely definitely be back

Very tasty kebab. Until today the best kebab on Oxford. Fully recommend

First experience and pathetic service which is almost at walking distance from location.

They forgot my samosas aswell.

To be fair it was worth waiting for it was hot and very tasty the driver was busy and caught in traffic on the previous delivery before picking mine up would highly recommend

Food is good as always, was some containers split which wasn’t great but can’t fault this restaurant it’s always great food

Staff always polite and food hot

Tried the Nawabi on a Saturday night having given up on our local. Ordered at 17:00 for 19:00 collection, food ready bang on time. Absolutely delicious.. 3 very different mains and all cooked to perfection, lovely & distinct flavours. Will definitely go again.

One curry didn't arrive, very poor customer service and lack of apology.

After ordering a selection of salad & pickles I would have expected popadoms to compliment the main meal .

We tried Nawabi for the first time this evening, ordering a delivered takeaway from their website. It came very promptly (30 mins) and went down well with my family. The mixed grill and a vegetable bhuna were particular hits with our kids, but we all enjoyed all of it. Only the king prawn butterfly starter was a slight let down, containing just two prawns. Overall the whole meal was tasty, well cooked, delivered hot, and good value. We'll very likely order again in future.

Great mix of flavours. Chicken in some of the dishes was very big ! The garlic in the naans wasn’t very strong but still nice.

My food was late due to a busy start to their evening. I called them and they explained politely. My food was delicious except for the peshwari nan. It had no flavour as described in menu. I didn't eat much of it. It wasn't what I expected. Despite that I would order again.

my food came very cold with drinks missing and the staff were so rude about it. forget about refunds as well. and not a variety of dishes for vegetarians either.

Wonderful food as always!!! Delivery driver was very polite and cheerful.

Lovely food - sent enough to feed a small village in China. Great delivery guy too ! Thanks!

Food not cooked properly despite order being placed almost 2 hours before restaurant opened.
