The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Holywell, St Mary's Oxford South East

Fantastic! Echoing all of the other reviews! Service was super friendly, welcoming and efficient. What I liked is that there is plenty of waiters around that everything is fast. No waiting to be served, no waiting for drinks, it’s like a military operation in organisation with amazing food and this is why Antep Kitchen have experienced success! Well deserved reputation! Wonderful buzzing atmosphere too! Thank you!

Arbequina came highly recommend so booked a table for our Valentines meal - surpassed expectations! The romesco & crispy egg dish was a firm favourite - probably the best egg I’ve ever eaten in my life, perfectly soft boiled, crispy & beautifully seasoned. Our waitress Sally was super friendly too, I mentioned I’d never tried orange wine before and she fetched me the glass I picked out plus a couple of others to try in case I wasn’t a fan. Gave us some great recommendations for where to head for drinks next too. Lots of great vegetarian options, a real hidden gem!

A cosy, busy little tapas restaurant, with a vibrant atmosphere. Service struggled to manage demand in timely manner. Good range of tapas, unfortunately two key ‘warm tapas’ not available at the time of our visit. Chicken tapas, and chickpea & spinach dishes were both original & excellent. Unfortunately whitebait with chips, and calamari were unnecessarily over seasoned with salt. Wine by the glass limited to house wine only; could benefit from a better choice by the glass, carafe or half carafe. Staff receptive to the feedback. This is a place with appeal and worth a visit.

Have been to this place twice now. The food is really amazing and the atmosphere is great as well but the only weak point is their service. I think the staff needs a better way of communicating with the kitchen, each other and the table. It can get busy and hectic but I did find the interaction between staff and customers bordering on rude at some points. I can't fault the food though.. it was really really good.

Really nice and beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️ 💕 ♥️

Worst possible place to visit. Toilets don’t flush and it’s so dirty. Almost slipped on my way out. Drinks are way too sweet.(diabetes giving) Floors are slippery. Caught male employees staring at multiple women’s buttocks.
