Tender Coconut

"We had a truly lovely evening from start to finish. The service was attentive and prompt, with staff who genuinely seemed to care about making our night special. Every dish that came to the table was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. What really set the experience apart, though, was the warmth of the team. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well looked after, from accommodating our eating preference to checking in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. It's the kind of place that reminds you how much a personal touch elevates a meal. We'll absolutely be back."

"We had a delicious lunch here. Our first time and we will definitely be back. Proper South Indian Food with friendly and welcoming service. The fry beef was delicious as was the nandan chicken. You must try the masala dosa to start. You'll never look at a pancake the same way again! A great addition to Cowley Road."

"Finally a great South Indian restaurant in Oxford.We visited this restaurant for dinner yesterday and really enjoyed every bit of the food we had! We ordered Chicken 65, Chicken Lollipop, and Veg Cutlet as starters all of them were delicious. My kid especially loved the Chicken 65! For the main course, we had Veg Biryani, which came with raita. The biryani was flavorful, though the raita quantity could have been a bit more. We also ordered Parotta, which was fresh, soft, and tasted amazing. The only small downside was that the waiting time was a bit long, but apart from that, everything else was great. Literally every dish we ordered was flavourful and tasted amazing. We’d definitely visit again!"

"Visiting Oxford for a few days and came upon this quaint little restaurant. What a hidden gem.. the food did not disappoint and the staff and owner so welcoming and friendly! Harsh our waiter looked after us so well, gave us recommendations and the food was delicious!"

"This is an amazing place to have authentic Kerala food. Parotta, Idiappam, Chicken Fry and Chicken Roast are must to try. Also try kappa biriyani. We loved and my son even called the chef and shared his good feed back."

"The appam was so good—soft, fresh, and perfectly made. The butter chicken was absolutely yummy and tasty, with a rich, creamy flavor that paired beautifully with the appam. The chicken biryani was also excellent, full of flavor and cooked just right. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered the biryani twice. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this place to everyone."

"I had a wonderful experience savoring such delicious food. I have never before tasted such authentic Kerala cuisine, and the best part is that it is located in Cowley. If you are missing home, I highly recommend visiting this establishment. After many months, my taste buds are truly satisfied, and the service provided by the staff was incredibly heartwarming."

"Tender Coconut on Cowley Road is amazing! The food tastes so fresh and authentic, especially the dosas and Kerala-style curries. The place feels warm, the service is friendly, and the portions are totally worth the price. Definitely one of the best South Indian spots in Oxford."
