Bodrum Restaurant

Simply the best. This restaurant has a huge variety of options! Everything from grills to homemade soup of the day, stews, slow cooked traditional dishes, döner kebabs, and so many others I probably haven’t tried yet. Everything I have tried has lived up to my expectations, and I love how your order is grilled in front of you! They are super fast too, once you order and choose any meat from the see through fridge, it is immediately handed to the grill chef and starts cooking! Döner varieties including wraps and döner-on-rice are the best you’ll have in Oxford! Homemade dishes are so good that they run out quickly. A must visit, absolutely worth the price. People who work there are absolute champs they are very kind and always positive despite working loads and being under pressure at all times. (Attached is a takeaway box from Bodrum Restaurant, it has rice and chips underneath the meat, invisible on this angle, salad and sauces are complimentary with every order)

Overall, for me, it's the food that tastes spot-on and has reasonable prices compared to other restaurants on that road. If you want that local, traditional feel in your food, you've got it all in one place. Yes, the décor is not updated, and the service isn't like your normal restaurant, but these people work super long hours to serve you up good, tasty dishes. For me, I love this place because it has that busy, bustling feel to it. The chicken shish, marinated and served with rice, salad, bread, and their special warm sauce for dipping, is delicious.

£14 for this and water. Top left is one of only two pieces of Donner I was given. Staff more interested in conversations with anyone of familiarity that walks in then making my food.

Absolutely love this restaurant, been coming here to eat for the last 10 years. They always serve great quality food at very reasonable prices. The baklava is still the best I eaten in England. It's a down to earth cafe style restaurant, quick and friendly service . Great choice menu which includes photos. Hope it continues to prosper.

Ok food, great atmosphere & amazing service. Not many seats, I think you can book and hold a table, but we got there early evening and was fine for a table, by 6.30/7pm place was packed. Food is good but they load up on carbs and less meat. Place was 3/4 rice and a lil meat, for the prices I would defo want more meat. We paid £11.95 for 8 wings!!! VERY pricey. Would have given 4 stars if meat portions were bigger. I ordered the big bodrum platter & you can see from the picture it’s basically one of each piece of meat but costs £17!!! Not worth it. Go for a donner kebab or a donner meat and chips.

Food was excellent very filling. Should have sat further in the restaurant bid cold. And the dessert was interesting overall impressive positive.

Extremely disappointing experience, I only used to go here because the food was half decent! This evening after work I literally sat down for 15 minutes and no one came to ask for my order; this used to be a regular occurrence but I put a blind eye on it. Worst part is they were not busy either, all of that was happening whilst other people were being served at the front for take-away, There were two guys just chatting away with the people behind the grill and cracking jokes etc: Zero environmental awareness! I won’t get into the fact that the guy who severs on the floor seems to have anger issues(never smiles) and slams plates on your table !!! Won’t rerun, only thanks I can give is to one of the man behind the grill and another one(who seemed to be the manager/ owner) a few weeks back who asked if I needed anything else: as a matter of fact, the only time I was asked if I needed anything else was that time! I never got asked if I needed a drink with my order !!! I wouldn’t say zero customer service, I’d say negative customer service, Hope that helps

I'm not too sure what's going on with Bodrum, but recently it feels like the quality of the food is exceptionally bad and the prices are sky high! Lived in Oxfordshire my whole life and have been eating food from here since I was a small child - that has now unfortunately come to an abrupt end after the last meal i purchased from here! - the meat in the donner kebab was in fact disgustingly rancid in both taste and smell, when I came home to eat it - a foul almost cheese like smell and taste from the meat leads me to believe that it must have gone off. The ridiculous prices for the food hurt even more when you can't eat it. £31 worth of food for me and another person went straight in the bin.... I simply will not risk wasting that amount of money from this establishment again.

This is easily the best Turkish restaurant in Oxford, and the best Kebab place in the town too. Although it can fulfill the needs of the average kebab seeker, it really does come into its own as a restaurant. In fact, somehow it manages to avoid all the late-night drunk student/lager lout crowd. They don't belong here, it's just too classy. The staff deliver generous portions, and free warm Turkish bread for starters, which is always welcome. The service is unbelievably good, friendly, and it's run by people who really do have passion for their cuisine, and are eager to leave every customer satisfied. If you ask them, they'll even bring you Turkish tea afterwards, although it would be nice if it was served in small Turkish glasses rather than over-sized Coffee cups. I highly recommend Cowley Road's legendary Bodrum Kebab restaurant!

The worst kebab I have ever eaten. I hope I don't get food poisoning. Lamb was dry and over cooked, and the pita was falling to pieces. God knows why the place was busy.

when i used to work at a bar in downtown oxford, i would get off work at 3am starving. the only thing open at this time at night was bodrum. im not saying that i would only visit out of desperation, as it is actually an extremely friendly establishment. in the kind of business where speed it key, alot of place sacrfice customer services for customers served. bodrum always greets you with a smile and a wave and their food is always fresh and a spotless resturant. the food is standard, but do what they do well....and in a kebab house..isnt that all you ask?

One of the nicest Kebab places in Oxford, the owners are actually Turkish and this is reflected in the menu. The food is perhaps slightly less spicy than the other restaurants on Cowley Road. Most options come with salad and you have the choice of chips or rice for the health conscious. Prices are reasonable and service is quick, though there is limited seating

The place has just ok food and service. Was largely unimpressed by the meal I ordered and even more perplexed by the 50 pent extra charge for using my debit card.

I don't know why previous customer didn't like this place, this is the only place for proper kebabs in town! Open till late most days so perfect place to come for a bite to eat after clubs or whatever.

The best kebabs (shish and chicken go down best with my family - my children eat them) in Oxford, and have been for ages. Their veggie stuff is also superb - love their houmous and falafel, and I believe there is a veggie kebab thing made from aubergine but I've not managed to give up my houmous/falafel habit yet. Chips are proper sized, not french fries, and service is good and friendly. And do not miss the baklava. it is superb.

bodrums is mad crazy for the chicken, salad fingerz the dude, if you aint got no papes they sort you a greazy box of chicken for shrapnel. My homie who dj's and working their once gave me a mix cd with no music on it, thats real road playa. They even got one chick workin in there, i got told Bordum is in Turkey, and they like to gobble, nah mean?!

Easily the best kebabs in oxford

Best kebab I've had, and i've tried alot. Good choice and quality, my friends and I will regularly pass many other kebab shops in favour of Bodrums. I'm looking forward to eating in at their new restaurant near the city centre
