"Wow" We like how it looks & the food is amazing - Edit
My vegetarian sister & I visited this place & she went "Wow" as we came in the door.
Read morePita or Bowl, spiciness from very (me) to zero (sis) - choice of several fresh salads & toppings or the whole lot.
All vegan apart from the choice of adding feta or egg.
Puddings also good.
Great food & friendly staff.

First class falafels - Edit
Visited yesterday for lunch-this place is a must if visiting Oxford! Offering vegetarian and vegan options only. All food prepared fresh and made to order. We had the falafel pittas with all the trimmings. Other dishes available include salad bowls and tagine. Really friendly service too-tables inside and outside. We sat outside with our two dogs. Takeaway also available 👍🏻

One of new favourite lunch spots - Edit
Lovely spot, tucked away in a quiet street just off the main road to Oxford City centre.
Read moreDecided to try it after seeing it on this app and they exceeded my expectations.
Very pleasant staff, ordered a falafel bowl and sat at a cozy spot right in front of the window.
Food was very fresh, flavourful, with plenty of hummus and sauce, very good balance of ingredients too.
Usually I don't like falafel (decided to risk it) because I often find them too dry, but these falafels were great- I can honestly say best falafel I ever had.
Great interior, loved the vibe of the place.
Definitely going to become a returning customer. 🌿

I had a lovely late lunch here , a chickpea and roasted veg tagine with all the toppings. The staff let me chose what toppings I wanted which was great. Pretty much all the menu is under 8 pounds de too so pretty affordable . They also sell a vegan brownie for sweets. Very cute decor as well

Superb lunch - Edit
I really, REALLY liked the lunch we had here. After reading reviews I ordered the tagine, and it was superb - so many different flavours going on, all very fresh. My daughter had the falafel pita and was also delighted with it. Great food, friendly service and great prices, what's not to like?

Had a compact and satisfying vegan lunch. Lovely falafels in very fresh pita with colourful and tasty salad. Spacious and peaceful feel to the cafe even though it was fairly busy. Surprisingly reasonably priced considering how good it was.

Great lunch spot - Edit
Came here for lunch and ordered the falafel salad. Because I just tried falafel at a place in Bristol (which was extremely good) I've been a bit spoilt. The salad was very tasty though and the falafels were decent, but I have had better ones. They weren't overly crispy and not as green on the inside as I would like them to be. Still a very solid choice to grab some wholesome lunch!
Read moreUpdate: went here for lunch again on our second day in Oxford and had the tagine bowl this time around. I loved it, packed full of flavor and very wholesome. Review just went up from 4 stars to 5 after having this. Also, in my initial review of the falafel bowl I mentioned that portion size could have been a bit bigger. The tagine bowl was actually a very decent portion size.

Pros: Tasty and healthy , Reasonable prices, Outdoor and indoor seating

Try the tagine bowl! - Edit
I was curious about the tagine bowl, so I ordered that one. It was a stew with a lot of different veggies and beans (eggplant, fennel, zucchini, chickpea, broadbeans). They served it with rice with lentils, (sweet) potato, tahini sauce and pomegranate seeds. It was really delicious and comforting! I can literally eat this every day!

100% recommended - Edit
So delicious and so many things to choose from. Nearly completely vegan apart from a few cheeses they offer. Do yourself a favour if you're around the area and go try it out! I try and go as much as I can and never get tired of it. Made of such delicious and healthy wholefoods.

Amazing falafel bowl - Edit
Super healthy "fast food" that's homemade and packs a flavor punch. Excellent quality ingredients, and excellent prices to match. Loved that they had gluten free millet instead of couscous. Also loved that they'll put whatever toppings you want on your bowl at no extra charge.

Great lunch stop - Edit
Been wanting to try this since I heard about it on Happy Cow. Really tasty filling food. A simple menu but with lots of combinations. Really well cooked halloumi and the best falafels I've had. Yummy coriander chutney and soft warm pittas. Good value.

Hidden Gem - Edit
Fabulous little cafe. About 30 seats indoors and a few pavement tables. Delicious pitas, beautifully soft bread and excellent falafels, cooked fresh throughout the day. Only non-vegan option on the menu is halloumi, but will definitely return for the tagine which looked divine!
Read morePros: Most of the menu is vegan, Lovely fresh, moist falafels, Decent portions
Cons: Service a little slow…
