Let's talk about Delhish Vegan Kitchen. Have you driven by this St Clement's restaurant and briefly noted a flash of colour, but then kept going and never looked back? That was my only experience until very recently, when a friend I trust urged me to visit. And now it's my turn to tell you the same thing: stop, dine, enjoy! This casual Indian restaurant is a great … [Read more...]

Review: Oxford Blue

I recently ventured from West to East Oxford on a mid-week evening led to discover Oxford's newest vegan pub, Oxford Blue.

Not only because Italian food is the best in general, but my family is from Sorrento (not far from Naples) and I've been desperate for a taste of home for a while. I also haven't ventured over to Cowley for … [Read more...]

Pan Pan

Before even arriving at Pan Pan, I knew this was going to be a great meal. That's because I've been to this place about four times now and it never misses. We wandered in on a Friday evening and were seated upstairs (sadly the table in the front window, the absolute dream for people-watching, was already taken).
