Srishti’s Kitchen(An Indian Experience!) — Restaurant in Cherwell District

I recently had an unpleasant experience at a local restaurant that I had been looking forward to trying. The food had received great reviews, but my encounter with the owner soured the entire visit. From the moment I walked in, she was dismissive and condescending.

For instance, when I politely asked what’s the best selling curry in her restaurant and she went like “It depends, Like for example I don’t like Paneer so I wouldn’t say don’t try Paneer” well, we never asked if she likes Paneer or chicken. The basic question was “what’s the best selling curry here” and that’s it! We similarly had such sarcastic replies from her while we were in there.

Her nasty attitude and unprofessional behavior were shocking. It was clear she had no interest in ensuring customers had a pleasant dining experience. I am 100% sure I won't be returning to a place where the owner treats patrons so poorly. Also, to add on the food was horrible. Thanks Shrishti! I hope this...

The owner/chef was friendly, i cant fault her personally. However, for us as diners the food was really spicy. I'm used to a cocunuty based chicken korma, that tastes sweet. However the dish was really spicy. The second dish was also just as spicy, biryani tasted the same. If you like and enjoy spicy food, this is definitely the place for you. In my opinion the spice over powered the potential flavours that could've been tasted. Overall i feel a bit dissapointed as i was really looking forward to this meal, based on the reviews seemed the place to go. But does make me wonder its accuracy, based on the fact another customer had the same issue with regards to the spice. One other thing worth mentioning was that it was a little disorganised and our food was given to the wrong customers. The owner did apologise as this was the error of the waiter. I think that had there been another chef, things may have been easier...

We came across this restaurant during our most recent visit to Bicester village. We went in because of the excellent reviews. It is a very small space with limited seating, and ambience is not great, but we were met with very friendly smiles and kind words. We went in with a toddler; they didn’t have a chair for the child, but we were happy to adjust. The dishes were served in white ikea plates, which was not very appealing. I would highly suggest you upgrade your crockery. Everything apart, the food served there was soo good. It was the best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever had!! The fish masala was too mild for us, but good. The chicken 65 starter was really good too! We waited a long time for our meal to arrive, but the chef herself came out to apologise to each table. The whole place could do with an uplift, but the service is great, and the food is excellent! I will definitely go back for...
