My first and last visit,slow service,food served on cold plates,which was bang average at best on a very limited menu not to mention a cheeky service charge which I had taken off,much better elsewhere

Don't eat here if you want authentic Indian food. The seekh kebabs were dry and just reheated. The chicken jalfrezi was anything but a jalfrezi. Extortionate prices for what they offer and to top it all off, they put a sneaky service charge in there. Unbelievable.

I found the taste of the food a bit bland to be Indian food. Avoid ordering chapati and paratha. Better options for Indian food in Oxford.

Mi amigo y yo encontramos este lugar por accidente. Fue un accidente feliz. El personal era agradable y amable. La comida era suficiente y sabía muy bien. Sentí que la cerveza era un poco caro, pero en general, una gran experiencia allí. El propietario habló con y y fue muy amable.

Tuvimos una cena fabulosa esta noche. Los currys eran absolutamente divinos. Sabroso y tierno. No podía fallar nada. El servicio fue increíble también. El personal era atento y encima de sus requisitos de clientes. Si alguna vez viene a Oxford asegúrese de venir aquí para un delicioso curry encantador con un gran servicio.

“Shezan”, the Indian restaurant that you should not miss when you are in Oxford. You have to go up to the first floor, and from there, to heaven, with its delicious and special dishes. The decoration is beautiful, the service couldn't be better (very professional, gracious and friendly), and the food is spectacular. Good cuisine, quantities, variety of dishes and reasonable prices. Be sure to stop by the “Shezan” paradise and experience all its magic. ✨🎉

El servicio es bueno con el personal muy agradable. El vino es un poco desagradable, tuvimos una botella de Malbec entre las 2 y no pude beberlo. Los poppadoms estaban viciados y la salsa de menta tenía la consistencia del agua. Los dos tuvimos el plato de entrada y los dos encontramos el kebab seco y masticable, el pollo seco y masticable, ensalada flácida y vieja, la samosa no estaba tan mal. Comidas principales, el arroz se coció en el microondas y algunos de ellos se agruparon y se pegaron. Cubierta con rodajas secas de limón y la capa superior de arroz agradable y crujiente como la piel en un arroz con leche. El Aloo ghobi estaba frío en medio de las patatas y la coliflor. El Taarka Daal era la consistencia de una sopa muy acuosa con el toque de lentejas. Muy muy decepcionante.

Hidden gem of a restaurant! Unassuming doorway on the high street leads to the restaurant on the first floor. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu was different to a "standard" indian restaurant. We were a party of 6, 5 adults and a child. We were advised that our food would take a little longer to prepare and cook because of the dishes we had ordered. It was delicious and worth the wait, which was long anyway. Can easily recommend and will definitely visit again when on Oxford.

Food was actually really good, but unfortunately service was lacking and you need both for a great experience. Firstly service was slow when we arrived- as the kitchen door was left open you could see staff standing around chatting and the microwave being used to heat food (not a great first impression!). Then when plates were being removed after we finished our starters they took our used cutlery off our plates and dumped them back on the table for us to reuse. All food was placed at one end of the table and left to us to hand out ourselves. Then when our mains arrived we asked for chutneys to go with it and we were told the restaurant was shutting in 10 mins and they’d cleaned the kitchen so couldn’t serve us anything else. In addition, the restaurant either had loud music so we had to raise voices to chat, or none at all. While these were small issues over all, we felt rushed and not very well attended to. We wouldn’t come back.

Visited here last night with a group of 11, I ordered the trio of Lahore special starter...there was nothing special about it! Had 3 small pieces of food and it wasn't that good. Definitely not worth £8.95 for 3 bites, also you had to order a minimum of 2 which didn't make any sense considering the small plate that it was. Moving onto the mains, I got the Goa chicken, this was nice and tasted good. The pilau rice was aromatic and tasty. The naan bread was dry and not that great. The service was bad, they left bottles of drinks on the table all night, there were plates from the starters that were left on the table as well. Overall, decent food, but I wouldn't go again, there are better Indian restaurants out there.

Very cold room, salty food. Saag had absolutely no liquid waiter tried to tell me he was Asian and knew best. I explained I cooked curries at home and our friends are Asian that was the worst chicken saag my husband had ever. I had a paneer dish when I asked if he could add spinach he said no. That rang alarm bells as I have never been told no before. It tasted more Chinese and was salty. Do not go here not a good experience oh to top it off we had a poppadum with a hair on it.

Today evening as an occasion to celebrate my birthday I had visited this restaurant, we did order some food and the food quality has been extremely good, living up to the mark. But due to the staff on the floor we haven’t enjoyed our evening throughly. The waiter who catered to us was very rude, there was no check back on the table and when I called her over to clear the plates as we wanted to order desserts, she directly handed us the bill and left. Came back with a machine without asking if we need anything else, which is why we did drop the idea of dessert and decided to pay. When asked about service charge she said it is compulsory and I cannot opt out, but personally I was not at all happy and was not willing to pay the service charge. Even during payment due to network issues when payment did not go through at first she got annoyed and started making faces as if we were wasting her time. Would not recommend this restaurant also won’t return due to rude waitress.

I was uncertain so asked the server for a non-spicy recommendation…the shahazani korma was outstanding. I only wish I had left room for desert.

A really enjoyable evening spent at this establishment. The menu did not have all the usual standard dishes that one sees at an Indian restaurant which was a pleasant surprise. We did wait for a while, but the wait was definitely worth the it. I had a lamb dish with lentils and ginger. This was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, and the heat in the sauce had just enough to make its presence known. The people who served us were very gracious, and it was appreciated that the music was played quietly in the background. Time flew. We all had such a good time. A great time out, and a brilliant start to the weekend.

Personally, I prefer other Indian restaurants. A lot of the food we had was kinda bland with overpowering mint and raw onion. My biggest gripe was there were no cocktails left, 95% of the alchol menu crossed out and then 50 percent of the soft drink menu crossed out such as Pepsi zero this Is on a Tuesday at 6 I've never been to a place with so much missing I thought someone had just scribbled all over my menu. I don't know if you get ur delivery's on a Wednesday but was severely disappointed. Safe to say I won't be going again.

A party of 8 of us visited this restaurant it was pre booked The service was nothing other than diabolical. Our mains took about an hour to come and even then it come in dribs and draps. One of our dishes come near the end of our meal We asked for water about 4 times. A real struggle. The waiters just fobbed us to each other I understand it was busy. But can’t be that busy that we where neglected We asked for desserts and where told that they where to busy to serve deserts. When we spoke to the manager he agreed to serve us deserts but it will take about 10-15 minutes. We said no problem. Half an hour later nothing not even an acknowledgement. We asked for tea and coffee not nothing as once again they where to busy. A terrible experience. To put it politely
