Shish Turkish Restaurant - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

3 /5 Akber Ali: I have fond memories of visiting this restaurant frequently in my youth, drawn in by the delicious food. Last week, I decided to revisit, but I was left disappointed with my meal. The chicken was dry, and the salad seemed to be lacking in quality, missing the pomegranate sauce that used to be a highlight. The Lamb shish was descent. While the service was decent, the chicken no longer had the tenderness and moisture I remembered. Additionally, they only accept cash payments.

1 /5 Adel Elfiky: Ordered from this restaurant on Just eat and it was so bad. Food came cold without any cutlery. I ordered the full chicken and it was so plain and the marination so bad. It was expensive as I thought the quality will be good but the quality was really bad I didnt even eat that day as I had to throw all my food in the bin. The baklava was alright to be honset

1 /5 Shaz Islam: AVOID!!! Currently suffering from food poisoning in the blessed month of Ramadan. This was the first time I ordered via Uber Eats and in the month of Ramadan. The food was undercooked and lacked flavour. No idea what they did that me and my son had food poisoning! This place has been such a let down and the council needs to check this restaurant for food hygiene! I spent a lot of money and Uber Eats is refusing to refund me and its most likely because of the restaurant! My mistake for not checking the reviews! Avoid at all cost if you care about your health!

5 /5 AceOfHearts001: Mixed Grill was superb (every grilled item had authentic taste and cooked to perfection - loved it), the rice is probably not quiet the Turkish type of rice we would expect (I prefer to have, works better as well) the improper choice of rice hamepers the turkish experience. Stake fries were great with cool deep fry basket presentation. Hot mezze was really good for £10, tasty and piping fresh. Cold mezze portion size was disappointing. Not acceptable at all. The grilled chicken item (not pictured) is really succulent but it is basted in the chilli sauce they serve (like a good PFC chilli sauce). I personally would prefer a different base flavour so the chilli sauce is not the flavour of my grilled chicken!! Theres a crossover somewhere between Turkish and a local grilled food/pfc of some sort and theres this need to go to a Turkish only place somehow...(maybe minor adjustments like adjust the rice, have separate menus etc.). Good value. Service is not so attentive but the place is cosy and seating is comfortable even the chairs have leather padding. Recommended for good value, reliable eating.
