   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic food and great atmosphere at Shish Meze Bar! Had an amazing experience at Shish Meze Bar in London recently — the food was top quality, the service was excellent, and the whole place had such a warm, inviting vibe. If you love Turkish or Mediterranean food, this spot is definitely worth visiting. We went for the mixed grill, and it was absolutely perfect. The platter came out sizzling hot, beautifully presented, and smelling incredible. It had a great variety — tender lamb chops, juicy chicken shish, lamb kofte, and doner, all served over a bed of fluffy rice with grilled vegetables and salad on the side. Every item on the plate was cooked with care and packed with flavour. The lamb chops were particularly impressive — juicy, perfectly charred, and seasoned just right with that smoky, slightly tangy flavour you get from a proper charcoal grill. The chicken shish was soft and succulent, with a lovely hint of lemon and spice, while the kofte had a deep, rich taste and melt-in-the-mouth texture. The doner added that extra layer of savoury goodness, perfectly seasoned and not too greasy. The rice was light and buttery, soaking up all the delicious juices from the meat. The salad and grilled veg on the side added freshness and balance, making the meal feel hearty but not heavy. Portions were generous, easily enough for two people to share if you’re not too hungry. The restaurant itself has a cosy, modern vibe — dim lighting, elegant decor, and a nice mix of families, couples, and groups enjoying their meals. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel comfortable. Service was excellent throughout. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to make sure everything was perfect. The food came out quickly, fresh, and piping hot — you can tell they take pride in what they do. Overall, Shish Meze Bar is a brilliant choice for anyone craving authentic, flavour-packed Turkish food in London. The quality of the meat, the seasoning, and the presentation were all spot on. I’ll definitely be back for another mixed grill soon — highly recommend it!

   Went Sunday night and it was quiet inside but the food did not disappoint at all. This will now become my goto Turkish even though I live close to yaprak in eastcote I think this is worth the 20 minute drive for the better food. Price is similar. I thought the seasoning and quality of the meat was better. Next time I am bringing my kids to see what they think but I think they will agree

   The food was amazing and fresh. The service was great. There was ten adults and at least ten children so you can imagine how loud our group was. The staff dealt with us professionally courteously and they were great with the kids. The portions were a good size and we had so much left over. The taste of the fresh food was on point. Will definitely recommend and return in the near future.

   Fairly good food and very good service. I loved the warm fluffy bread and the dipping sauces, a good start for the meal. We ordered Yoghurt chicken beyti from the house special and lamb ribs & chops. Whilst the chicken beyti was absolutely delicious, the lamb ribs & chops were a bit of a disappointment. There was very little meat on the bones and they tasted dry. Overall a good meal in a quiet, spacious and tidy restaurant. The food was reasonably priced. Attentive service. Will come back again if we next want kebabs.

   Popped in for some lunch at the weekend - super service, definitely the best Meze I have had. Really liked the Turkish tea to compliment the flavours of the lamb and chicken kebabs. Excellent flatbread especially with the dips. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. My brother, who doesn't normally like too much spice, was eating roasted chilli pepper and ordered extra dips to take home - so all in all a great experience. For sure I will bring my children here. If you can't park out front you might find some spaces in the side streets. Their restaurant is about 1 hour from me - it is for sure worth the drive such is the quality of their restaurant. Oh and they accepted credit card too.

   We came here for our anniversary meal and had a lovely evening, the food here is so tasty! The presentation was WOW! And gets 5 stars. The only 2 things is the price of a takeaway compared to eating in is a massive difference. The long wait considering there weren't many people eating in could be better. And that's why the 3 stars. But please don't be put off by this. Because the food here is AMAZING! And we will be back but maybe just for a takeaway. :)

   Went for dinner on a Friday night, we hadn’t made a reservation but they were able to find us a table. We had the mixed platter for two which was the best cooked meat I’ve had for a long time. Everything was made fresh and tasted delicious. The bread is freshly made and had loads of flavour. We also had Turkish coffee which was good and strong and some baklava which was super nutty and not too sticky sweet. Service was really good and the space is clean and modern. We will definitely be going back!
