The Vine and Spice never disappoints. If you like to try dishes that are not on a standard menu, then this is the place for you.

Outstanding. We were recommended this place and it did not disappoint! The food is fresh, tasty, cooked perfectly, and presented wonderfully. The service is also brilliant, you simply can't go wrong. Highly recommended, we can't wait to

I really enjoy eating at the Vine and Spice , Ive probably eaten here about 7 times over the years, mostly with groups of friends. I haven’t found a better curry house in south Oxfordshire and can depend on this place to serve a decent curry . Beer selection can sometimes disappoint but its the quality of the food that matters to me.

Stayed in a nearby B&B and booked online for a table later that evening. Confirmed booking was prompt. Good menu with plenty of variety but maybe a little on the expensive side. Service was good and the building/decor is a pleasant place to eat. We both enjoyed our starters but felt the mains didn't quite deliver – but judging by the other reviews, maybe we just didn't choose the right dishes.

After looking up the reviews I decided to go to vine and spice and I was not disappointed. The service and food was second to none, I would go as far as to say that its the best Indian food I've had in the UK. Even though we hadn't booked we were offered a beautiful outside seating pod which was very comfy. I had a vegetable biryani that was a huge bowl of vegetable rice ( butternut squash courgette sugarshap pea cauliflower broccoli and fresh herbs ) covered in the naan bread baked in a tandoori oven with an exquisite curry and a bowl of raitha. My partner had a rasooni mirch murgh which was recommended by the waiter and was not disappointed the flavour was incredible. The portions are very generous the rice part of the biryani was enough for 3 people! I can safety say that its money well spent on a wonderful meal with excellent service.
Excellent meal out with friends. The food is not like the usual Indian restaurant fare. This was presented to a high standard especially the starter. The service would have five stars but the waiter was either junior and/or inexperienced and he dropped cutlery and was unclear as to what complementary drinks were being offered. Apart from this small criticism the evening was an excellent experience and we would definitely eat here again.Vegetarian options: Veggie platter starter for two was exceptional. Plenty of choice across all dishes and tastes, not your average menu at all - excellent.

I have had a few take-away meals from "The Vine & Spice" and enjoyed them, so my wife and I treated friends to a meal at the restaurant there. Sadly - and surprisingly - I was extremely disappointed. One of our friend's found that the chicken in their meal was undercooked (it was still pale pink) and highlighted this to staff. It was taken away and a replacement given. The chicken in this was cooked fine, but the sauce was now much more watery and lacked flavour due to this (the other had a nice, thick & creamy sauce). My wife and I are both vegan and member of staff taking our order didn't seem too sure what this meant. During our meal, we had 3 different members of staff coming up asking us the same questions rather than one member of staff being given responsibility for this role. All the staff were very polite, but it was a little disconcerting to be trying to have a conversation only for another member of staff interrupt to ask a question asked a few minutes previously (e.g. whether everything was alright, whether we required any more drink etc.) Our vegan curries had several hard pieces of veg (we don't overcook our veg and enjoy a slight bite to them, but numerous bits of veg were virtually raw and must've been chucked into the sauce moments before dishing up) and my wife found some onion with the root still attached. Also, I did find the meal to be expensive for what you get. Given this experience, I won't be getting any more meals from "The Vine & Spice".
