Such a fun, lively restaurant. Beautifully presented and the staff were so lovely and attentive. Large portions, their salads were absolutely delicious. Flexible - able to swap bulgar for rice or chips. But the best thing was the FULL dry bar. Cocktails, spirits, beers, wine and sparkling wine. Amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

We found this restaurant through Google maps, got attracted by the high reviews, and we weren’t disappointed. We were seated to our table swiftly and offered the menus, the waitresses were very professional and hospitable, offered advice on the best dishes and their advice was spot on. Food was prepared in good timing. The food was well presented in good size portions, and tasted very delicious. Followed by nice desserts, the milk cake is definitely recommended. All in all was very happy with the experience and will definitely come back.

For being here the first time, I would like to say the following. The food quality here is excellent. It is delicious. The presentation and portions are satisfactory. the service is top-notch. I was here for a wedding meal, and the staff did exceptionally well. They were very attentive and polite with professional mannerisms. The atmosphere is pleasant both in decor and layout. Also the place is very clean, so good hygiene maintenance. The only thing I wasn't too pleased about was the main inner door being kept open, leading to a strong cold draft, forcing some of us to put on our cardigans, etc. But once brought to their attention, it was resolved. So a non issue. Honestly, I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely come back again.

Here at Shïsh, we enjoyed some really tasty kebabs and cold starters. But most importantly, their mocktails were one of the best we have had in a while. If you are looking for a mouth-watering selection of non-alcoholic drinks, this is the place! I do also have to mention that the mixed cold meze platter was also great value for its price, as all cold mezes were included. The atmosphere also has a modern and lavish feel, with the dark tones and gold accents. We really enjoyed eating here with my family and will definitely recommend!
