    Busy Saturday night walk in - we were able to be sat outside and the heaters turned on for us. All the staff were very kind, attentive and warm. Some very warming Turkish teas were brought for us at the end complimentary. Great stop in Oxford right next to the O2 we were heading to.

    I just want to come on here and say that this is the best place to eat in Oxford, it was my friends birthday and we had a little surprise birthday thing planned out with the waiters and I was genuinely expecting to pay 15 quid for the cake like we do at most places we eat but it was on the house as well they gave us Turkish tea as well being on the house I’m overwhelmed with the kindness from the service staff all kind people and I really wanted there to be an option on the website to give a little praise to the Lovley waiter Cameron who served us today however there was no option to do so so I’m hoping he’ll get some praise from this review, thank you so much to the Nef team they really serve excellence I appreciate all the friendliness ❤️

    Delicious food with excellent and friendly service. The fresh bread was particularly enjoyable. The restaurant’s interior was really nice, adding to the overall dining experience. While the portions could be slightly more generous, the meal was still worth the price for a weekday lunch.

    Absolutely amazing place. It was very busy as for Xmas parties. Service was excellent and no long wait. My special request was completed with kindness. Portions were pretty generous and delicious lamb, cooked at perfection. I had enough to bring something back for my puppy dog. Definitely will be back
