I’m not quite sure how this place has got the positive reviews it has. Aside from the polite young waiter all we experienced was overpriced, poorly cooked & presented Middle Eastern food. My chicken shawarma looked like it had never seen a griddle or flame….it was pale, grisly & wet. The environment is grubby, make shift & not very welcoming at all. There are a few good Middle Eastern restaurants within a 10 mile radius of this one….I’d suggest trying them instead.

What a fantastic gem to find in Middle Barton. We have been blown away by the service, food and hospitality. From the first point of contact to book a larger group to the end of the night and goodbyes - it really was the absolute best. Accommodating and attentive with delicious flavoursome food that was a personalised menu for our group. We loved sharing the different selection of food on offer to try. From hummus to kofte to moussaka to fresh salads – each delivered a wonderful bite and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. No mean feat when catering from 20+ with veggies, gluten free and some who are just fussy eaters! They spoiled us with baklava to finish which was made fresh on site and we couldn’t get enough of. Thank you for your generosity – it was so appreciated. I t was a great experience and each and every person has said they are coming back and I will definitely be there again in the very near future. The Cinnamon Stick is a Middle Eastern promise that they certainly keep and more! Thank you again for a brilliant night we had a ball.

She's were excellent for mains there was 3 chicken dishes selected plus lamb chops. Once again all meals were enjoyed with comments of we will definitely be back.

We went as a family of 6, including one 6 year old and one 9 year old. We received a wonderfully warm welcome on arrival at what is a most unassuming pub. The restaurant was great offering a super atmosphere of the Middle East. The menu choice is varied and will suit all tastes. Our 9 year old is a celiac and extremely fussy! The staff went above and beyond to support him and to ensure he enjoyed himself, if I could give everyone at The Cinnamon Stick 10 stars I would!!! The food was simply superb - plentiful, tasty and filling! I had the mixed grill which was excellent in every way, whilst my wife had the stuffed pastry. Starters too were superb!! I cannot praise this restaurant highly enough for the friendliness of the staff, their determination that the ‘guests’ should enjoy themselves and their willingness to engage with any needs, like my celiac grandson. Everything about this restaurant is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!! Take the opportunity, book a table and enjoy the experience. Thank you The Cinnamon Stick for a great evening

A hidden gem. My third visit and it didn't disappoint. Amazing flavoursome food. The chefs suggested cauliflower mezze was a winner. Attentive staff. The three of us opted for 5 mezze, a main course each plus pudding.

We went as a family on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was buzzing with lots of people enjoying the fine food on offer. We had what we always have - a selection of small dishes and some of the main courses and grills, accompanied by Lebanese flat bread and all washed down with delicious Lebanese wine. The whole experience was perfect - friendly service, advice if needed and attention to detail. Everything is prepared in their kitchen - nothing is bought in pre-prepared. Amazing value for the amount of work that has gone into the dishes. Thank you Cinnamon Stick for another great evening!

Our village supper club booked a meal at The Cinnamon Stick with little knowledge of what to expect. We paid a fixed price in advance for our booking, ordered our drinks on arrival and then waited for the "performance" to begin. And what a performance - a huge range of Middle Eastern dishes just kept arriving - new tastes and new dishes to try and share. What a selection! When the dishes were cleared we thought it was all over - but no, now we had all the hot dishes to share and they too kept coming to include an array of vegetables including tiny roast potatoes, rice and much more besides. A real treat at an easy to find location halfway between Oxford and Banbury on the old main road linking the two. We are going back with our family in January. We can't wait!

This may sound like an odd title but first, the food . . . We were surprised to find great quality Lebanese food in a quiet English village but that was a key part of the experience. It's situated in what used to be a pub and some of the best parts remain (e.g. a bar with bar stools and a lovely fire) but has been enhanced with many Middle Eastern decorations and ideas. The restaurant area was spacious, welcoming and spotlessly presented. The owner/manager was really kind and helpful on taking our order and we had an informative discussion about Lebanese wine. We decided to eat and drink the specialities from Lebanon and were delighted with everything that we'd chosen. It was lunchtime so not very busy so got into a very interesting (and in some ways educational and philosophical) discussion with the owner that I found particularly enlightening. All in all, a meal to remember and for all the right reasons!

A family get together was spoiled by the ethos of the restaurant. We had nice food and it was a very good destination for people coming from different directions. However we won't be eating there again as we were charged for starters we hadn't even ordered, and charged for a side we had ordered but never arrived. When I checked the bill more carefully when I got home and contacted the proprietor, I did not get any reply - completely ignored. That's his loss, as 6 or 7 of us would have gone again.

We were very excited to try this restaurant given the glowing reviews. However we were very disappointed. The food is not at all authentic. Nothing tasted home made. Pitta bread was cold and dry. Hummus tasted like it was from sainsburys. Vine leaves awful. Everything laid out on withered iceberg lettuce. The portions were tiny for the price. The starters were so disappointing and overpriced that we didn't order mains and left very hungry! The decor was also very shabby. At the front of the restaurant are piled high cardboard boxes. In the garden where we were seated there is bird poo everywhere (nowhere clean to sit) stained decor, bashed up table tennis table and derelict children's toys. We were offered a seat in the heated tent area which looks nicer but it was very noisy and didn't feel covid secure as all tables were quite close together. The staff were attentive and very nice but it was our first night out for months and very disappointed.

Absolutely amazing restaurant in the most unlikely of places. So today was my 39th birthday and I expected to spend it eating a burger and chips in a chain pub or restaurant with my two young children aged 7 and 5. As it turned out this fantastic Lebanese restaurant exists in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside and quaint villages the Cotswolds has to offer. Particular highlights were the fantastic Shish Taouk off the children’s menu which the boys loved. I took the mixed meze which was delicious, as had a big dinner planned in the evening, but the quality and taste of the food left me wishing I’d ordered more! Hope to visit again! شكرا جزيلا لك!

We are fortunate enough to live within walking distance of this excellent restaurant which is just brilliant when we have discriminating friends and family to stay. The interesting menu and excellent wine list always provide us with meals to remember. Open for lunch Wed - Sunday, and for dinner every day except Monday, they also provide a popular takeaway service. The staff are lovely and the service excellent. There is a good variety of mezze, which we normally order, as well as a couple of main courses. A good range of puds, although I always have the home made cinnamon ice cream. In addition to the dining room, there is also a substantial event tent in the back garden which is great for parties. Booking recommended at weekends.

6 of us visited the Cinnamon Stick on Friday 23rd August to celebrate my birthday. I chose this restaurant as it was in the next door village and the menu looked very suitable for my partner who has a number of food intolerances and eating out for him can be a nightmare. I spoke to the restaurant before we went so they were aware on the problems. When we arrived they could not have been more helpful. It turned out that there was very little on the menu he could not have which was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious we had a selection of Mezze and main courses to share and we had room for dessert, again unusual and delicious.. As they did not have any gluten free beer they allowed my partner to bring hos own without corkage, very accommodating. I must have let on it was my birthday as a Happy Birthday banner had been put up on the wall by our table. The staff were very friendly. knowledgeable and helpful. There is also a wonderful marquee outside done up like an Arab tent with sofas and low table which is nice to sit out in. The restaurant was quite busy so I would recommend booking. A lovely evening. We will be visiting regularly. Thank you to all the staff.

Lovely place. Beautiful food with charming, knowledgeable service. The mixed mezze platter is a joy: fresh, precise flavours with wonderfully combined hot and cold choices. I (slightly) over ordered by having the large mixed grill but managed to eat the lot on the basis that well chosen meat, beautifully prepared and cooked just doesn’t come along that often. Stand out dishes would probably be the aubergine dip, the lamb kofta and the lamb chops. Not that everything else wasn’t yummy but those had something extra special about them. Thank you!

We stayed over in the family suite, which was good as you had two separate bedrooms. No noise from the pub/restaurant below so got a good nights sleep. We hadn't booked a table to eat in, but we were accommodated and they were really attentive and moved us into the restaurant when a table was available. The food was excellent, including the freshly prepared breakfast. A great base to venture out into the Cotswolds.

We stayed for one night only at this wonderful establishment. The welcome we received from both owners was really friendly and they genuinely wanted to help us as much as possible. We did not realise that check-in should’ve been before three or after six but they accommodated us and waited for us to arrive to check us in. The food in the evening was excellent. It was all freshly cooked, pleasantly served and tasted lovely. The breakfast was exceptionally good, we were the only guests (there are only two rooms), it was freshly cooked, locally sourced and really tasty. Overall we had a lovely weekend here I would recommend both the restaurant and the rooms to anybody. We may well return

We dined at this restaurant last year when we visited Countryfile and sought it out when we attended this year...... It is still Excellent ...delicious , authentic Lebanese food ..served by the family in a family run converted pub....... We visit the Middle East regularly and the food here is as good as you will get including top Lebanese restaurants in London....... Friendly service and a nice ambiance you can even stay there now as they have a couple of well appointed rooms....wish we had rather than the awful hotel we were in in Chipping Norton!.......see them next year....... If you have not tried Lebanese cuisine give it a try....... reasonabley priced too!

Great meal in very nice surroundings. There is also an outside open area but we ate later so had a table inside. Also has accommodation!

I've been to the Cinnamon Stick several times, with both small and larger groups, and will look forward to going again. The food is always delicious - freshly-cooked and with great attention to special requests (e.g. last time we went, we had a friend who can't eat onion, which I'd forgotten to mention while booking - dishes were cooked for her specially). I love the mezze, both hot and cold. I'm vegan, and this is a great place to eat, with so many tempting choices, all clearly labelled - and meat-eaters in my groups have been equally impressed. The owners and staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The coffee is excellent too - and if you're too full for a dessert, as you probably will be, you can instead have coffee with small pieces of baklava and Turkish Delight (vegan!) I highly recommend the Cinnamon Stick and will certainly return.

The cooking smells when you came into the restaurant was a good sign of things to come! Had a great sharing starter and our main meal was lovely too. Wished we lived locally to enjoy it again but will definitely be back when we are visiting the area in the future.

We dropped into this pub/restaurant by chance. What a find! The food is Lebanese. We had lamb shank. We agreed it was the best we had ever had. Sweet but unlike most similar dishes, it had a hint of sweetness. Not overpowering.

This restaurant has it all. Pleasant, helpful staff, good location, nice ambience within and of course the most tasty food.......I was blown away by the choices, the flavours, and all for a very reasonable cost.

When I walked past and saw “cakery” on the door, naturally I couldn’t resist popping in. It didn’t disappoint, with a tremendous selection is a glass counter. There were the more “usual” options as well such as Victoria Sponge or Coffee & Walnut cake and even these looked quite spectacular, certainly far better than usual offerings one finds. But even if they were extra special, I thought I’d try something different and so opted for a Bakewell Blondie bar complete with half a miniature Bakewell tart on top! To be honest, it didn’t have quite the wow factor I was expecting perhaps, but it was nonetheless very good, just the right amount of sweetness, lovely and moist and a generous portion. Across the table a Rocky Road on steroids was also well received, and accompanying latte was very good too. Overall, highly recommended.

Hired Drummers Bar for a private birthday celebration. What a great venue and lovely people. A huge thank you to Melanie, Ian, Simon & Matt for making it such a special and memorable event
