I came here with a colleague on a recent business trip- it was the taxi driver’s suggestion- we were a bit wary at first. The place is big and spacious, of course we were sat by the window.. the service was very good and friendly (they helped us get a taxi home, and checked on us). I chose one of the chicken specials, a stuffed chicken breast - never heard of that one- and it was surprisingly good! Definitely one for the list.
Used to eat in Majliss since around 10 years. Last year something went very wrong. Food quality way lower than in the past. Constant problem with delays. Waiting for delivery more than 1 hour is a routine. Staff nervous. You can hear them arguing and yelling on each other. Within lst 3 months gave them 4 chances. After 5th time i had to wait more than 1 hour for delivery. Decided to post this rewiev. And we live within 2 streets from Majliss...
We ordered a takeaway from here last night and didn’t regret it. It arrived early, piping hot and oh my word, it was so tasty. I think this is going to be one of our favourite places in Oxford!
I went here with my friends who are massive fans and love the food. I'm Bengali and the people who run this place are also. The food is for the non-south Asian folk. The meat doesn't taste like the sauce its cooked in nor does it contribute to the flavour of the dish. The breads and lassi and the starters are ok but mains meh. It is designed for the white crowd and when we were there myself and one of my friends were the only brown ppl there. Nothing against that at all. But it shows in the dishes it's very much a takeaway dish kind job. But I have definitely had better. Sorry Majliss but you need more clout than a 2017 comment maide by a Michelin star chef. You need to reduce the menu and focus on making it authentic.
The food is amazing the service is good nice staff.
