Nice place. Great ambience. Hated the music playing though. The seats are quite comfortable and seating arrangement is not too close to other dinners for comfort. To the food. The pita bread was amazing. I don't know what it's coated in but it was one of the best I've had so far. The meals we ordered were tasty as well. The downsides for me is that they didn't have a soft drinks menu. Maybe they concluded that we all drink alcohol. Also I found their menu a bit pricey but manageable. Overall, I might visit again
The food is amazing! I ordered the Mixed Shish and my friend ordered the lamb with yoghurt. They both came with rice and salad! Also, we shared a squid as a starter, that was amazing! The texture of the lamb is soft but not too soft, it’s just right! The lamb with yoghurt dish is off the chart yummy! The bread for the table though, is a cherry on the top. I wasn’t expecting it to be so soft and full of flavour. It sure gave an explosion of taste in your mouth. The addition of the two sauces made it better! I would give more than a 5 star if possible! I will definitely come back! :) Side note, they only have two parking spots on their property. The closest P&P will be Billet Lane Parking, free on Sundays. Additionally, their toilets are cleaned, and gold!
I came to Shish Meze as I have just moved 1 mile away in Emerson Park, and other Google reviews were very good. The lamb shish was soft, tasty and spectacular. The seafood casserole was far too salty, as was the scallops starter dish. The grilled chicken liver was also cooked to perfection. This restaurant, being Turkish, should ONLY focus on grilled food, which they do so well. Other non-grilled dishes were extremely disappointing. I was also upset that at the time of booking I mentioned it was my husband’s birthday - but nothing extra was done to make him feel special. The waiter was a little rude (asked us 3 times to order drinks within 3 minutes of sitting down) but the doorman/bookings man Omar (Egyptian guy) was really kind and professional. He hung up my coat as it was too long to put on the back of my chair. I may possibly return here in future - but only for the grill.
Lovely cosy restaurant with a great atmosphere, staff really friendly and welcoming. Food is fantastic, a great experience all round.
Great ambience with a quite comfortable seating arrangement. The staff was kind and courteous. They were friendly and accommodate us without a booking. The pita bread was amazing and the meals we ordered were tasty as well. Incredible experience from start to finish, will definitely be back.
