Oxford has an abundance of amazing curry houses, but I have to say this is my favourite. Karma offers all the ‘normal’ curry dishes that you would expect, but the highlights are really their chef/house specials.

The best thing about this place, though, is the staff/customer interaction. In some places serving staff are either ignorant, disinterested or told not to recommend a dish. Not at Karma. I brought my family from northern Sweden (among which my 10 and 12 year old nieces), and asked them for a great way to introduce them to curries, as there weren’t really used to spice or heat of any kind. They were brilliant. They served a mix of spice degrees and flavours + took the time to explain the dishes too. My family walked away loving this style of food.

Fortunately for us it’s around the corner from our house and, in my opinion, there is no curry house even being close to this one!
