Just excellent Indian food. Good serving sizes - we found 2 mains, a rice and a nan just right for 2 people. Friendly, efficient service too.

We had a fantastic night last night. Onkar is at its best again! Delicious food, good portions, beautifully served and lively atmosphere. Well done and thank you.

We've been here a couple of times. It's the best Indian we've had in recent memory, and the prices are absolutely reasonable.

Had a really nice meal lamb madras. It's a little hotter than I am used to but tasted great nonetheless. It's nice to see that a restaurant doesn't skimp on a lamb dish, it had plenty of meat. Highly

A fabulous birthday meal. Indian cuisine is one of our favourites and this restaurant was fabulous. Beautifully cooked chicken tikka to start, followed by a gorgeous vegetable balti and chicken dish. Friendly efficient, service in a lovely restaurant. We will be going back for sure.

It doesn't matter what the food is like, you will be lucky to get through to them. The line is engaged constantly. I've been spamming the redial button for 30 mins.VOIP phone systems are £20 a month and they won't get one. So frustrating.

Busy restaurant with great fresh tasting food. It's nice to visit somewhere where the spices can actually be tasted in the dishes. There's room for improvement in the starters as my sheek kebab and the paneer tikka came without any caramelised onions. They were ok but could have been amazing. The curries and side dishes were spot on

We were staying in Oundle and wanted to try somewhere new, having had a wander around town we decided on Onkar. We were made to feel welcome and the restaurant is light and airy. Staff were helpful and attentive but not so attentive we felt rushed. The food was delicious and servings were generous, so much so we ended up with a doggy bag to take home. We felt they had a menu that was extensive enough to enable a good choice but not epic that we felt overwhelmed having to decide. Honestly, the only thing wrong with Onkar is that it is too far from home to pop to, when we next fancy an excellent curry ... we may have to move closer.

Sooo pleased to be back at The Onkar! Ham & Sanita are always very warm and welcoming, the food and service was excellent.

We have visited Onkar before and had a good experience especially when dealing with a garlic allergy. However on this occasion we were told there wasn?t one dish on the main course menu that could be garlic free. Initially they were unmoving but then suggested we wait for the chef/owner who was out doing deliveries. He arrived back and agreed he could make a sauce free balti so it wouldn?t have garlic. When this came the sauce was also delivered on the side - complete with garlic. Fortunately we worked this out. The rest of the food was delicious, especially the naan. Sadly it was also incredibly slow with most other tables experiencing the same. It seemed they were struggling to cope with eating in/deliveries/take-aways. The waitress was excellent, dealing very well with a difficult situation.

We dined on a Saturday evening . It was very busy with the restaurant nearly full and many takeaways going on at the same time. This illustrates that the reviews are probably right. We are not great eaters of Indian cuisine but occasionally it?s a nice change. So it proved at the Onkar! We were greeted by a smiling lady and gentleman. The restaurant lady was very willing to describe each dish and reassured us they would season as we requested. The menu had a good choice of dishes and all very reasonably priced. Our starter of tandoori prawns were beautifully presented in an attractive and unusual way. They were very tasty and not too hot. We both chose different chicken dishes which were very delicious and full of delightful spices and quite mild as we requested. The portions sizes were very large with big chucks of chicken served with an attractive rice which was very colourful. Overall, we were very impressed with restaurant layout and lighting which had the right balance of being very up to date and comfortable with an air of good quality. Along with wonderful food, a super dining place.
