This little place stomps all over other Spanish restaurants in Oxford. For a start, it is genuinely Spanish, not some plastic imitation. There is no nonsense with the decor: you're not overwhelmed with fake olive oil jugs and matador paraphernalia or any of that garbage. Just good simple eating.
The food is great. Last night we picked a few favourites from the menu: I particularly enjoyed the chorizo and chicken. Even the simple marinated olives were a cut above the standard. The prices are very reasonable given the quality of what you get and unlike some places they don't use the word "tapas" as an excuse to be stingy with the amount they put on the plate.
Great Food and friendly Staff

Husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night - June 2009. The staff were very attentive, service brilliant. The food very well cooked and we even asked about the contents of a sauce as we were so impressed. They offered suggestions ffor pudding and at the end we were given a bottle of wine as a present to take home. Lovely decor, clean and lovely staff. Would definatley recommend to anyone.

This must be one of the most consistently good establishments in the area.
We have eaten in this friendly place on many occasions and can only wonder at the rich flavours and varied but limited menu.
A must for young and old alike.

Despite a good makeover, you can't buff the scuffs out completely. However, who cares about a bit of shabbiness when the food is so good? Aziz has a reputation as the best curry house in Oxford, if not Oxfordshire, and in my opinion it is certainly up there. If I had a criticism it is that "Hot" on the menu doesn't necessarily translate to "Hot" on the plate, but one could make that critique of practically every curry house outside Birmingham or Bradford. The service is a bit up and down, but understandable as it is so busy. If I'm up that end of town and want a curry then this is definitely where I'll go.

Lovely surroundings and friendly staff who explained how things worked on a sunday. Fantastic selection on the salad bar and the roast meats were really succelent with a good selection of vegetables. The dessert trolley was great and the banoffee pie is to die for!
Overall a lovely meal to end our family weekend.

I have never found a decent Mexican-style restaurant in England until now. The Mission is a take-away-cum-restaurant in the heart of the city and it is fabulous. The burritos are all fresh, made quickly right in front of you and served simply in a foil wrapper which you unwrap with zest in order to smother your lovely burrito in spicy sauce available free on the tables. The taste is superb and the value magnficent. A fiver may seem steep for a single burrito but it is packed with content and will easily keep you going right through the day. No longer do I need to dream up excuses for not going shopping with the wife: I'm now proposing trips into town. Really excellent food done right and long may it continue.
Reasonable - if you're desperate for Thai food

If you are in town and desperate for a hit of Thai food then this will do. Definitely not the sort of place you write home to mother about but you won't feel ripped off either. Could easily be improved with slightly better presentation and some more chillies/ginger/garlic - pep it up a bit!
I was a little drunk... but really enjoyed it!

Last time I went was towards the end of a very boozy evening with some work colleagues. Hence this review probably should be taken with a bucket of salt. However, I hazily remember being extremely impressed with the food (and the red wine). I had a lamb dish that was very tasty if not exactly hearty in terms of size. I will definitely be going again if only to see how reality stacks up to drunken memory.
Lamb chops a-mungo

Have the lamb chops, you won't be dissappointed. I had them as a starter and quite honestly I thought they were awesome. Next time I go back (and it will be soon) I'll have them as the main course.
My main course was one of their specialities: a green herb and coconut based curry. It was really good although it could have done with a bit more depth of flavour: perhaps a bit more garlic. Still it was really good.
Bagicha also has a great location right next door to one of Oxford's best drinking pubs - how great is that!

A warm welcome from friendly staff who showed us to a table overlooking the Windrush Valley. The Selection of Hors D'oeuvres was fabulous and the huge Turkey and joints of Beef and Gammon were tender and tasty and served by a jovial Chef.
The vegetables were freshly cooked and the homemade puddings irresistable. We started a conversation withe the people at the next table who told us that most people in the busy restaurant were regulars who visit time and again. We will certainly be going back.
