The seating provides for small groups at tables partitioned off at the sides, through to large parties in the separate function room. Jamal's THIS IS one of Oxford's finer moderately priced Indian restaurants. Jamal himself greets customers personally and takes care to suggest particular dishes for particular palates. The menu is extensive, with a wide range of authentic and delicious foods, though with an obvious tandoori bent. Anyone can be accommodated, and of particular note are the large variety of exceedingly tasty vegetarian dishes.
Portions are generous enough to satisfy the heartiest of appetites.
About three quarters of Jamal's customers are regulars and with food as good and service as friendly as this, it is easy to see why. An enjoyable place to eat for two or twenty. For those seeking authentic Italian food beyond the mass produced pizza in town, the Luna Caprese is highly recommended. Oxford's longest established restaurant offers robustly flavoured meat and fish dishes in a peaceful atmosphere suitable for couples or small groups. The d cor is flamboyant, with crabs and seaside scenes adorning the walls.
