A restaurant spokesperson said: "Gurkha village in Kidlington is back to its best again!"

The Food Standards Agency is responsible for rating hospitality venues across the country and gives them marks on a zero to five scale.

A five-out-of-five star rating means that food hygiene is ' very good' at the establishment.

Inspectors assess levels of hygienic food handling, cleanliness and the condition of the building and the management of food safety during the inspections.
