    Great food and service, they even accommodated for our 1 month old baby and offered to heat his milk and moved the table so we had room especially for him. We had a lovely evening. I Highly recommend them.

    We went to the shopping village and heard people talking about this restaurant in one of the shops. We felt so lucky to find such an amazing place to eat after a long day. The service was so attentive and professional. The owner made us feel very welcome. Attention to detail was perfect. We loved the table clothes and napkins. The place looked immaculate. It will definitely be a place to visit for us when we are back in the area again. Would highly recommend.

    Cosy family run Turkish restaurant near Bicester Village outlet. Lovely owners who constantly checked on us and made sure we were happy with our meal. The quality of the meat was amazing and the portion size was great. The standout dish for me was the iskender (lamb cubes on bread, drizzled with butter yoghurt and tomato) as well as the koftes in the mixed platter. Very juicy, flavoursome and filling. Special shout-out to the salad - everything was cut so fine and the dressing was amazing! All in all highly recommend if you’re hungry after a long day of shopping!

    Went to this restaurant with my family and we really enjoyed it. It was beautiful inside and very calm surroundings which was perfect to kick back after a long day shopping and enjoy our meal. The food was really good we all enjoyed it for sure. I would definitely recommend it and would 100% go back.

    The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The staff are very friendly whilst professional and although we were delayed and lost, held our table and gave us easy directions over the phone. Also, spotlessly clean with proper table cloth and napkins. Wish we lived closer as it would be a regular favourite restaurant! Superb.

    Nice restaurant. Food is all very well presented and fresh. The homemade bread and hummus for the table is wonderful and something to nibble on before starters. The Turkish Meze Platter is a good quality starter for two. Most of the starters were fresh and flavourful. The only slight disappointment within was the calamari which was small and lacking taste. The lamb was extremely well presented and had ample meat on the bone, more than we could handle with a starter. The Chicken Guvec was slightly disappointing, lacking a little bit of flavour and overpowered by tomato. In contrast, the desserts were full of flavour and promptly delivered after the main. Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive. Word of warning, do not park on the single or double yellow lines on the high street outside the restaurant. The street IS attended at night and we see about 10 parking tickets being handed out whilst walking too and from the restaurant. Be warned. The Pioneer Square car park is run by Sainsbury’s and limited to two hours parking. It is maned by ANPR and gives you an exit time on entry. We parked along the Victoria Road Car Park, a street round the back of the high street, which only a few minutes walk to the restaurant. At the time of writing this review, Victoria Road parking was free after 6PM.

    We had a wonderful meal here last week with a group of us girls. The service is second to none and everything is so professional. I love the crisp white tablecloths and napkins making everything fresh and clean. It has a lovely ambiance and feels relaxing. The food is really exceptional, it’s a proper treat! We all had different dishes and they were all so good and of a very high standard. We’re looking forward to coming back again.

    Highly enjoyable lunch for four. The food was delicious - particularly enjoyed the mixed mezze and my iskender main. Normally would have gone for a traditional dessert but couldn't resist trying deep fried ice cream... Attentive service, quick but not rushed, cozy and clean surroundings. Bill came to £131 before tip which wasn't bad at all. Would definitely visit again if I'm passing.

    My wife and I had a great night at Denis restaurant. Everything is so tasty, you can't restrain yourself from having all of the dishes. Restaurant owner Mr Metin is so friendly like all staff. Now, we know that we are going to eat at Denis Restaurant when having a chance at Bicester.

    Truly excellent Turkish restaurant in the town of Bicester - very close to the outlet village. Our visit here was good from start to finish. Service was quick but not rushed, extremely polite staff and very efficient. The food is authentic Turkish cuisine and I have to say is probably one of the best standards in Turkish cooking I have experienced. A very relaxed ambience and I can highly recommend this restaurant that produces excellent service and food! A very rare find!

    Very nice restaurant. Nice people very firendly. Food good quality. Are first time here. But on the amount of customers that were here. It looks like they have alot of requlars that come. The food was fresh and hot and very tasty and plenty of it. There was a good selection of both meat and vegatarin to choose from. The desserts good selection. My only little remark was the deep fried ice cream ball was a little bit bland. Maybe if you had put a strawberry compote or someother fruit in the centre it would have lifted this dessert to another level. But all in all it was a lovely meal. We all enjoyed it. And very sensible prices Yes I woukd recommend this restaurant if you are in the area...

    Visited on an unplanned overnight stop as I had read good reviews, easy to find on the main pedestrianised street in bicester town centre , traditional Turkish dishes and decor , not disappointed, quality of food was of a high standard and well presented, my starter of grilled haloumi was nice and meaty and perfectly cooked ,my mixed grill main had a good mixture of well cooked meals with a very good tomato dip , nicely cooked white rice and vegetable salad accompaniment , Was on point and really hit the spot , The yellow blobs in the photo is the mustard I added ! Don't usually bother with desserts but decided to try the baklava and was absolutely to die for, Pastry rolls were Lovely and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle , Nearly ordered another! Service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing, dishes were served in quick time considering restaurant was fairly busy for a Sunday night , bill came to £36.00 with 2x bottled beers , ( 1 person) , Only slight gripe was no draught beers and only 2 bottled ( efes or cider ) to choose from, could really do with a better selection , Overall a very enjoyable meal , would definitely visit again if in the area , Highly reccomended !

    This has to be the best restaurant in Bicester. The food is so tasty and high quality and it's great value for money! 3 courses plus a drink each cost £50 and we really enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend and we will be back! It's always busy though so booking is probably best.

    I visited Denis Restaurant in 2008, then in 2013 and now in 2019. Every time I visited the food has always been very tasty. Waiting staff are always quite friendly and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The prices are quite reasonable too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I had a fantastic meal at Denis Restaurant with my colleagues. 9 of us all enjoyed all 3 courses. They pay attention to details. We were served promptly and had enough break between the courses.I look forward to going back.

    This is the very best restaurant in Oxfordshire. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are absolutely amazing. The owner talks to everyone and makes sure everything is perfect without being prissy. The food is delicious, more than delicious. The service is attentive without being too much. If you allergies or want something particular, they will do their utmost to fulfil and provide. I could rabbit on for hours, but in short, this is a great restaurant with high standards and a friendly atmosphere and ..... amazing food!

    My family and I often visit this restaurant particular to celebrate a birthday. The service is consistent and always impeccable; the food is delicious, most of us typically order the lamb shank which is a devine and filling dish; the ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous; the staff are friendly and warm. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Thanks to the staff for making visiting your restaurant such a wonderful experience every time!

    Great meal with friends. Excellent food and atmosphere with lots of choice on the menu. Highly recommend this place for lovers of mediterranean food (and lamb).

  • 5/5 Anthony D. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't fault it in any way, pleasant efficient service that comes with a smile.. Good menu, decent prices, and good quality food. I know its a really silly thing, but the food we had to share as a starter and a main actually came with the equal amount of food for 2.... It was really nice not to have awkward questions or have to devide things up... Recommended

    Been here a few times now and always feel there is a rush to get you served and out the door as quickly as possible despite making reservations, presumably to allow for the walk-ins on either a Friday or Saturday. During the week it is more relaxed. The seafood dishes are always overcooked. Best dishes are either the mixed grill or the liver.

  • 5/5 Ian H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely Mediterranean style food and generous portions. But get a side order of vegetables with your meat dishes as, firstly you might well want them and secondly the grilled veg are simply fabulous!

    two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is no doubt not the last. We had great time with the efficient service, with the superb cuisine and wine and with the comfortable price. We will no doubt return there again.

  • 5/5 Anthony P. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely meal and great service. Always a sucker for a tasty bit of kofte.

  • 5/5 Tony F. 3 years ago on Google
    This is our third visit and the restaurant consistantly perfect. We came with guests this time and they all commented on how good the food was. Service was friendly, attentive but not intrusive and if you are shopping in Bicester Village it is well worth avoiding the restaurants there and drive 6mins to Denis. Highly recommend.
