  “My party got the cheesy garlic naan, tandoori chicken, and dishoom chicken ruby dish. All were spectacular! Our server, Pratik, was very considerate and thoughtful about my tree nut allergy and gave us incredible service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cute, authentic, tasty place.”

  “I went for the Breakfast menu with Oxford Girl Network and we all had a lovely time with fantastic company and great food. I had the Chicken Keema pau and their unlimited Chai tea. The Chicken Keema pau was so filling and it tasted so good. The staff, servers and manager on the day were very welcoming and the service was really really good; with non stop filling of Chai tea which was delicious and fresh! I would love to come back again soon to try different things on the menu. If you are after a much quieter meal I would advise to go in the morning as it got much noisier nearer to 12pm. The morning was perfect for us to chat and eat.”

  “One of the best Indian restaurants i’ve been to, outside of India. Food was excellent. Every dish was bursting with flavour and was spot on. Portion sizes are on the smaller side but food was definitely worth it. My absolute favourite had to be the Tandoori chicken and the Chicken Ruby. Also, be sure to try their bottomless chai at the end of the meal.”

  “I had the most wonderful experience here at Dishoom. Kamron was the most wonderful server, who was so attentive to all of our needs and went out of his way to make us have the best experience ever. They were so attentive to my allergies and constantly providing wonderful service and care. The food is incredibly made and feels so authentic. I will be coming back all the time.”

  “Fantastic little find. On of only a very few Indian restaurants that I have been to where each dish really tasted completely different and was a delight to savour. Our waiter Pratik was very welcoming and hospitable. Highly recommended if you are in Oxford. Service was quick. Try the lamb samosa...”

  “Best Indian dining experiences I have had in years. The evening was truly defined by the exceptional service we received from our waitress, Rucha. She was warm, attentive without being intrusive, and provided expert recommendations that significantly enhanced our meal. Her hospitality made us feel like honored guests, and she is a credit to your team. Regarding the cuisine, every dish was impressive, The Naan was also excellent, arriving piping hot with the perfect texture and char. The use of fresh, authentic spices across the entire menu was evident and much appreciated. Thank you for providing such a memorable experience. I will certainly be recommending Permit Room to others and look forward to visiting again soon.”

  “The customer service was great, and the atmosphere had a warm, lively vibe that made it a lovely place to dine. We ordered the black daal, naan, half tandoori chicken with rice, and crispy spinach chaat. Most of the food was delicious and fresh and very satisfying. The only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark for me was the crispy spinach chaat. It felt more like spinach pakora topped with yogurt and tamarind sauce, and the tamarind sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Adding some potatoes or chickpeas could have made it feel more like a traditional chaat and balanced the flavours better. That said, this wouldn’t stop me from visiting again. The rest of the food was great and overall it was a very positive experience.”

  “Very impressed - one of the better food choices in Oxford. The food was flavorful and just delicious! If you want Pakistani/Indian flavors with the right amount of spice sans grease then look no further. Fair selection of items from appetizers to proteins ranging lamb, fish, beef , chicken varied across curried and rice dishes. Its quite busy so plan accordingly. We were a big group of 9 on a Monday evening but the host was very accommodating and took control. Service was also quick and we appreciated not having to wait too long for our food. Very dishroom vibes ill definitely be back! 💯”

  “Very friendly and attentive staff members, explained the menu options, refilled our water without us even asking, and just generally made us feel very welcome. The food arrived boiling hot, straight from the oven, and was incredibly aromatic and delicious. And when we thought we were full and couldn’t eat anything else, the waiter pulled out the dessert menu and we couldn’t resist 😅 Great experience. I highly recommend this place for any occasion, but it is a popular restaurant and a reservation would be essential on busy days.”

  “The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding, especially from our waiter Azraf, who made our experience even better. This was our second visit in less than a week — we came back especially for the crispy spinach salad, which we loved so much the first time. All the dishes we tried were full of flavor and beautifully prepared. A very thoughtful highlight was when we asked for a dessert and a small celebration for our young daughter’s birthday. They kindly refused to charge us for the it as a lovely birthday gesture, which we truly appreciated. An amazing dining experience overall. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back again.”
