About the restaurant

Welcome to Kazbar, a lively Mediterranean tapas and cocktail bar on Oxford’s Cowley Road, just a short walk from the city centre. Colourful sharing plates, freshly shaken cocktails and warm, friendly service make it the perfect spot for date nights, after work drinks, office parties and big celebrations. Graze on patatas bravas, meat and fish tapas, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes, all made to share. Behind the bar you will find jugs of sangria, Spanish wines, ice cold beers and well made cocktails. Walk ins are welcome every day and evening; at busy times you are invited to relax with a drink at the bar while you wait, and thanks to quick service and steady table rotation we can usually seat you promptly and keep the atmosphere buzzing without it ever feeling rushed. Expect warm music, candlelight, vibrant tiles and a little holiday feeling all year round.

Excellent service at the Bar seating area, where we drank and ate. Diogo was excellent as usual, and the management and waiting staff were excellent. We eat here every other week, and it is 100% consistent in all aspects... This is a very good restaurant with good food and drinks. Thank you. Andrew & Stephanie

Went at at a quiet time. Service was good. Food outstanding. The seats and tables were basic but ok. If you are looking for comfort, this wouldn't be the place but if you are looking for good service, reasonable value and excellent food then it certainly is.

About the restaurant

Pho Oxford is a healthy Vietnamese restaurant with loads of vegan and gluten free options.

We specialise in phở, the Vietnamese noodle soup and also serve delicious curries, rice dishes, wok-fried noodles, and fresh salads too. Our starters such as summer rolls and spring rolls are perfect for sharing with friends and family. We also offer an entirely gluten free dessert menu with dishes like Pandan waffles, condensed milk ice cream and a Vietnamese affogato.

Over a third of our menu is vegan, and nearly all of it is gluten-free, so we are a great destination for people who follow those particular dietary restrictions. We are also accredited by Coeliac UK.

Aside from our lovely food we offer a brilliant range of healthy juices, as well as delicious wine and beer, and a fantastic cocktail menu too.

We look forward to welcoming you!
