Have you ever sat at your desk, wishing you could be in an exotic country, with the sun shining, a cocktail in hand, and a variety of foods with an array of different flavours? Kazbar in Cowley Road takes you there, with evocative interior and sultry lighting, it’s hard to believe you’re just a mile from Carfax! Kazbar may not be able to offer you sunshine, but for one night, you can feel a million miles away from Oxford.
The lively atmosphere was noticeable as soon as we stepped inside. Our waiter was immediately on hand, offering a warm smile and friendly conversation to make us feel welcome. We arrived just after the half price Tapas, which is on offer from 5-7pm Monday –Friday and 3-4.30pm Saturday and Sunday. Walking through the restaurant, you cannot resist admiring the unique interior of Kazbar, with high ceilings supported by dark wooden beams. Candlelit tables create an intimate atmosphere. Moroccan trinkets hang from the ceilings, combined with strings of garlic and Serrano hams.
The seating is around low tables, all of which are incredibly intricate in their individual detail. As we perused the drinks menu, we were taken aback by the incredible choice, from mysterious rums to Moroccan and Spanish beers. We plumped for a Margarita and a beer, which went down nicely.
We were spoilt for choice when we came to choose our food. I personally preferred the more flamboyant options, Salpicon Seafood Salad (Squid, Mussels Prawns, octopus, peppers and onion), Ibikha (braised butternut squash chickpeas and Harissa), nevertheless, the traditional favourites, such as Cous Cous and Humous, were extremely well presented and incredibly delicious.
For those a sweet tooth, indulge! From Turkish Delight to Potito Chocolate (which is as delicious as it sounds) to my favourite, the Baklava. This is a sweet pudding served with flo pastry, layered with honey and pistachio nuts, and if that wasn’t enough, natural yoghurt on the side, to give you the perfect combination of flavours.
The finale was a Hibiscus infusion (soothing tangy fruity tea), although, if you’re looking to send your taste buds out of control, a Kazbar Café Sola (short black coffee infused with spices) is the drink for you. This was the perfect end to a fantastic meal.
As we left, we found ourselves discussing our next visit. It was impossible to fault Kazbar with it exceptional service and out of this world food. Not only were we deciding when next to visit, we event started to choose what to eat when we went!
For the perfect escape from Oxford, Kazbar is a must.
