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.

Delicious take away from Shalims this evening. Love the vast choice on the menu - paneer shashlik is a personal favourite, easy to order on line or buy phone. Always delicious and good value

We visited Shalim’s when on a recent visit to Weymouth. We were definitely not disappointed. The food was fresh, tasty and delicious. The service was brilliant. There was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and we had a wonderful evening. After the meal we realised...we have never been for a curry and literally finished everything we ordered. Would most definitely recommend. 5 stars all the way!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Shalim! 😊More

Fabulous Indian restaurant and dining experience. We returned to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary after coming across it whilst away on holiday last year. Our return visit didn’t disappoint. Beautifully clean restaurant, helpful and extremely friendly staff who were attentive and nothing was too...much trouble. Food choice expansive making it difficult to choose. Husband chose a vegan dish and was amazed how tasty it was. Food arrived promptly and was piping hot. Well done Stalin’s. We will be back.More

This might sound strange but we came because of the comedic replies to the negative reviews, thinking that if it wasn’t much cop we could get roasted in the replies too, but I have nothing bad to say! Parked opposite the front door, got great...service from the moment we walked in till the second we left, the food was top notch, tasty, piping hot, with perfect portion sizes, the price was less than expected and the restaurant was clean, tidy, and very very nice! All in all a top evening and if we are ever back in the area we will be going again for sure!More

We booked about an hour before we went and we were greeted by very friendly, smartly dressed staff. The decor is lovely, it is a touch on the dark side so some may struggle to read the menu. When the food came it all looked...lovely. I wouldn’t say it’s the best tasting curry I’ve had but it’s certainly not a bad one either, just lacking a bit of flavour. Would we return…definitely yes as it’s spotlessly clean we’d just pick something different off the menu.More

Following a recommendation by our son, who visited Shalim's a week or so ago, we decided to have an early dinner there on Wednesday (20th September) .The recommendation proved to be well made. Excellent food, outstanding service and very good value for money. My wife...said that her main course Chicken tikka was the best she had ever tasted and my Tandoori Mixed Grill was superb. We will definitely return to Shalim's when we are next in Weymouth. Thank you for a great dining experience.More
