This doesn't look too good from outside and inside it's a bit minimal.But and it's a big but, the menu is extensive, portions are very generous. For us the chef modified a dish to accommodate one of our parties tastes. The food was delicious. It is easiest the best Indian restaurant in the centre of town, Oxford. Don't be put off by the outside decor, highly recommended and I've been to loads of Indian restaurants, and will be gladly returning to this one. Thanks very much for a great evening.

The best Indian i’ve had in Oxford. Lots of options to choose from and very accommodating for vegans and vegetarians. Very nice staff who helped us make decisions on what to eat. Large portions at a good price. Will definitely be eating here again.

One of the best Indian food I’ve tried. Really recommend the fish dishes, flavourful, nicely prepared, generous portion. Chickpea and aubergine side dish was great too. Highly recommended.

The food taste and quality can both be improved massively! The service was very average and the place was messy. It’s a polite request to the owners to improve the standard of the restaurant specially when it’s in the heart of Oxford city.

We went to the Chutneys for leaving do and we where quite big group of people. I was expecting something more from Indian restaurant, much more welcoming, much more food flavors, more indian atmosphere and all that.We where waiting for quite a while, lucky enough we had poppadoms but i am pretty sure they wasn't complimentary either.Water never been brought to our table even though we asked several times. Considering we where group of 17 ish people water on the table for big groups should be on the table without even asking.My starter arrived quite cold it felt to me that its been microwaved because the middle of the chicken, prawn and bajhi peaces was cold , which was a big surprise for me. I had prawn Korma for the main and it was bland, i tried my colleagues chicken korma and the taste was exactly the same as if it would be prawn Korma, no difference whats so ever. Korma is not most Indian dish i agree, however this one was the most bland korma i ever tried. And one big point - the staff must look after their hygiene the smell of sweat when your food get served put you off from the food immediately, there is no excuses for this. I would not come back to this place simply because for the price we paid i can get more flavors in any other Indian restaurant. The owner of the place needs pay attention more to how food is cooked, what flavors guests would experience and overall atmosphere of the place. To have place in city center its not everything.

The food and service at Chutney's were fabulous. The only reason it's not a 5/5 rating is that the restaurant lacks a bit of ambience, which could be easily rectified. The popadums we had to start came with three delicious chutneys and an onion salad. Because I wasn't feeling great we shared a main course with a couple of breads, there was no problem with that at all, they graciously brought two plates and served the main between us without fuss. We were unsure about going to Chutney's as the recent reviews have been a bit Marmite, and we were particularly concerned about the food hygiene rating that someone mentioned back in October 2023 - which further research shows is now 4/5 (inspection 16th November 2023) . We were really pleased that we did go though, really nice people, really good food.

Called in on the off chance of getting a seat nice food and friendly staff catered to our needs will definitely be calling in again whilst in
They had vegetarian options. Food was average. I found the vegetables to be oily.Indian tea was awesome
Ambience is not good at all.
Madras 7/10Peshwari Naan 4/10The real concern I have, is why no lime pickle is offered with the poppadom selection. This just won’t do.
Great taste, friendly staff. Interior not impressive unfortunatellyVegetarian options: Wide rangeDietary restrictions: Dairy and gluten free option
