Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Excellent meal. Attentive and friendly service. Ordered 'leave it to the chef' which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would recommend.

The BEST Indian in Bicester. Every single dish that I have had tasted, was immaculate. The succulent chicken and the flavoursome biryani. I loved it all! The staff was amazing especially Ali and Tito they made us feel very welcomed ensured that we had the...best service possible - deffo something you would want in a restaurant. Thank you Shakils once again, you have made this night memorable.More

Shakils truly is the best Indian restaurant in Bicester and I am confident enough to say in the whole of Oxfordshire because their food is beautifully cooked by what are clearly experienced chefs who know and love good Indian food. They put their Hearts into...it the same as with their service. The atmosphere is both equally stimulating and calming. This restaurant deserves your custom.More

Had another great meal at the friendliest restaurant for miles. The Lamb chop starter was better than ever, followed by a devine mixed grill. Wife had an onion Baji starter followed by a second starter of tandori chicken for main. The staff and the food...are exceptional and thats why we go back time and again.More

Visited Shakil's for the first time with friends. I was mesmerised by the decor and ambience. It is by far one of the best restaurants, in terms of design and style with perfectly matching colour co-ordination, which I have visited. I am a seasoned diner,...having the privilege of dining at top end restaurants around the country. Shakil's is up there with the best. This is demonstrated by the many accolades and awards Shakil's has deservedly received over the years. The members of the front of staff were very attentive. The array of food we ordered was delicious, tantalizing our palates with fusions of different spices and flavours. I am a firm believer in *The ambience creates a very pleasant gastronomical experience". Shakil's has succeeded in marrying both ambience and gastronomy by creating the perfect dining experience.More
