It’s a good place to enjoy something to eat with friends or family.
Thursday 08.26.2021
The variety of craft beers is nice.
The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing.
However, the young staff needs to be trained on the menu and types of beers. The customer service can be improved…
But overall a place I recommend you try it out!
We decided to try a selection of dishes.
The pizza crust is deliciously chewy and smoky. It’s the best crust I’ve had at any local pizza place. The sauce and toppings are presented nicely but are about average in taste and selection.
The chicken wings were juicy but otherwise also average. It’s nice to get carrots as well as celery with wings, but I wish they were hand cut spears, rather than those kiddie-style baby carrots.
Where Oakley Tavern shines is their kebabs.
We had each kind: Chicken, Beef, and Chapli. These are truly excellent dishes. The meat is well-seasoned and grilled perfectly, with a lovely char. The standout is the Chapli. I don’t ordinarily enjoy grilled mince because it can tend towards dryness. These were astoundingly good – the best I’ve ever had, anywhere. They were flavorful and very, very tender. This is a dish you could make your name with. Well done!
The rice is a fancy basmati. I believe it might be called the ‘sella’ type. The grains are long, plump, have a nice bite, and a naturally buttery flavor. Eating the rice with the meat juices soaking in was pure pleasure.
The Potato-Pea Curry, Green Chutney, and Salata accompaniments were bright and fresh. The Yogurt Sauce was also very good. Whatever yogurt is being used to make this, please don’t change it.
The bread that came with was advertised as naan but it more resembles a thin focaccia. A traditional, chewy, fire-roasted naan would go better. But otherwise, these kebab dishes were flawless.
They’re a new restaurant and are experiencing some operational teething pains. It was chaotic, and we only visited on a Tuesday. I can’t imagine weekend dinner rushes there. One of my items was not packed in my to-go order and so I had to go back for it. There was a lot of hectic running back and forth in the restaurant. They have plenty of staff – who are lovely, friendly, and helpful – but there is a lack of organization. An experienced Expediter is needed to orchestrate things to run smoothly and ensure accuracy. And they need to clarify their menu offerings and make it easy for customers to access. A link to their website and a current menu are essential.
Their kebab meals are outstanding. I sincerely hope that they work out these operational kinks because I want very much for them to succeed. (And I hope they add lamb kebabs to their menu soon! Without lamb, it kind of feels like something is missing. Lamb kebabs, please!!)
My family loved this food. Not only was it tasty, it was wholesome and nourishing. It’s lovely to be able to get takeaway food and feel healthy and well-fed. And on top of it, the meals are a great value. We are so happy to have such a good place to eat locally and we will be back for more!
