Meze & Shish in Barnet

5/5 stars! I had an incredible dining experience last night! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

Excellent food with freshly baked bread. Worth visit. Beautiful atmosphere with polite staff. 100% coming back here.

Delicious food, wonderful service…

Rice was terrible quality not the same as before. Salad was not edible as it was soggy and was not fresh.

I was just there at 3pm and the customer service from Everyone ,especially Samed, was excellent!

A delicious lunch today. I think we were the only customers, but lovely friendly staff. Notable for the rice pudding dessert with the perfect al-dente rice.

Brilliant staff, v helpful response to request for gluten free meal for coeliac. Even provided separate dish of dipping sauces, all delicious . Shish were also tender and delicious. When back in London, we'll be back. Thank you very much!

Be aware that if you only want to eat desert and drink tea, they are not serving you. We walked in an empty restaurant (two tables occupied only) and they told us that they only serve kunefe (traditional desert that we asked to eat) only if we order food first. It is important these policies to be written somewhere eg. website as we did a journey of 20minutes drive to come and eat this.

A nice family lunch. Accomodated 20 family members.

The place is one of the best Turkish restaurants around. The service was excellent and so was the food. Talking specially about Knafeh today, it was probably the best and has set very high standards. Must visit for the same and obviously the dips!

I recently dined at Meze & Shish and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The food was really good, with great quality and taste that truly stood out. The service was fantastic, the restaurant was clean, and the interior decoration was lovely, adding to the pleasant atmosphere. However, as I was super hungry, it felt like the food took a bit long to arrive. Additionally, the prices are on the higher side, with an average of £30 for a meal and drink. That said, the quality of the food was great and tasty! I would definitely recommend Meze & Shish for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Turkish cuisine in a beautiful setting.

Food was tasty, atmosphere was nice, highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely will be back.

Muy buena kleftiko, y dos platos de cordero eran buenos, meze frío menos interesante. pero freebie diminuto pan crujiente y dos diminutos dips y unas cuantas aceitunas para cuatro mientras esperamos a nuestra red era mingy por decir lo menos. Los pudines eran ordinarios, helados y arroz con pudín. Un poco caro, pero mucho mejor de lo habitual. Iré de nuevo. Un menú increíble, solo leerlo era una comida en sí misma. El restaurante es muy espacioso y con asientos poco llenos de alcobas adelante y adelante.

Great food, delivered in decent time (under 45 mins)

Extremely friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and tasty food.

Came here with my family for Fathers Day. Staff were very kind and attentive, food was great and it was a lovely cosy vibe. Would highly recommend !

We always come here when I'm in London. Very delicious food, polite and courteous service, good prices. The lentil soup is fantastic, the recipe please! I love it, I recommend it to everyone!!!!

Yet another superb meal . A lovely lovely restaurant.

My family and I always enjoy eating here on special occasions! This time, I went with my family and grandparents and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Not only are the staff very hospitable and kind, but the food is incredibly rich and delicious. And, very authentic Turkish cuisine. Regarding the menu, I would recommend the lamb chops. Fantastic experience!!

A great place to eat out. They are very friendly and the food is excellent with a good choice for vegetarians too.

Really good food, but one man that works in kitchen is quite rude, specially towards children for minor incidents. Just lost a customer.

Had a meal their yesterday evening. Servers were attentive and went above and beyond. The food was the best Turkish I've had and the portions justified the price.

Got take away and for the price was really disappointing

2nd time I've ordered from this restaurant. Was disappointed the first time as the delivery driver didn't turn up and the restaurant had to deliver the food. Much better delivery service this time and the food is delicious.

Great food, good service. Delicious. Highly recommend

Great food and place to meet with your friends to eat.

Always welcoming upon arrival.. Food is always on point, love the Lamb Ribs well done & Lamb Chops, Come here for a sit down chilled evening with the family

Perfect place for a delicious lunch or indeed an evening meal. Great Menu at affordable prices. The food is fresh and delicious. Staff are attentive and pleasant. Another visit here January 24 and still the same excellent food, freshly cooked and delicious. Really good value set lunch with multiple choices on first and second course. Splash out and add a desert. The baklava is amazing!

One of our favourite restaurants in East Finchley. Amazing food, great service and very nice ambience!! künefe is the highlight and highly recommended if you like syrup pastries!!

Beautiful fresh and healthy food. The lunchtime menu is good value and includes all the main menu favourites.

One of the best kebabs I've had (and I've had a few!). Superb service, polite waiters who didn't rush us. Great tasting food cooked beautifully and large portion sizes.

Highly recommend this place for lunch. Great value for money. Superb quality food, delicious, well presented and very filling. Staff were very polite and friendly. Lovely calm atmosphere, beautiful decor. Will definitely be going back

I ordered from deliveroo and The meat was rotten and had a foul, horrendous smell which they tried to hide with a lot of salt, it's so crazy I can't believe it. Sickening. This could kill someone, unbelievable!!!!! Disgusting Even from inside the bin the smell is unbearable.

The meat was a bit dry and the rice was too salty the place was very nice and was very big and had a lot of places to sit overall it was a okay experience

Lovely food and dining experience.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating and food was delicious and plentiful

Excellent both quality and value.

Miła obsługa, jedzenie wyśmienite

Ome of the best restaurants in greater London. Calm, realaxed and excellent food. I will definitely return when I'm in London again.

Always has good food and great place to meet friends.

Decided to try this. The food was good but very pricey for where and what it is. The servers were good, it was fairly empty for a Saturday night. They prices do not really reflect the locality and I am not sure I would go back because of this. It’s a shame because the food we had was tasty.

Had a late night at work and treated myself to a wash up free meal. But wasn't happy by the time I got it home. £18.80 for this.

Y Just come back from having a lovely meal with my family. The food was excellent and so was the service. The staff go the extra mile to ensure everything is alright for you. We will be back again soon.

Insanely delicious food, this is love

Lovely building and excellent food as always. Staff were all very friendly and attentive.

The service was amazing our Algerian waitress was fantastic as usual , the food is always excellent . I only gave a 3 for atmosphere as I was with my mate just saying ! (So not the restaurants fault)

This restaurant, located in the centre of the East Finchley, has a stylish, modern decor and friendly service. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. One of us enjoyed Adana Kofte while the other loved the Chicken Pide. We'd certainly highly recommend this restaurant.

i visited this place for the first time with my son. great experience and hospitality, alongside nice food. Thanks!

Food has arrived undercooked chicken. Tough and pink yes there huge piece but there not cooked through on all pieces. 45 wasted and now I still have to plan a meal again tonight

Food was fresh and tasty... lamb Shish served with rice and salad was nice..Lentil soup was amazing.. Just this portion of 'Sarma' looks very poor..in my eyes Staff was friendly and respectful

Yurned a cold and wet April night into a tasty treat. The food was lovely although they did get my friend's order wrong.

One of my favourite Turkish restaurants in London!

Popped in here for the lunch special - £12.95 for two courses - and it was honestly delicious! Looking forward to come back here to try the full menu some time as it was all so tasty with lots of vegetarian options.

Amazing food and such friendly, prompt service. A firm local favourite. We always love to come here, either as a date, whole family, or friends hanging out. Beautiful decor too. PS. Try the Sticky Toffee Pudding!

Wonderful food and an affordable lunch menu. The staff are really friendly and helpful too.

Service with a smile and great service food was lovely will definitely be returning

Amazing ,excellent food,miamiiii😘 And delivery was on time but Please next time don’t forget delivery a coke Xxxxxxxxxx

Absolutely delicious food, great service, we had a great night!

Best meal we've had in a restaurant for a long time.Would recommend it to all my friends

The food was top notch and really delicious, will definitely order again.

Delisous food Lovely place I love turkish food and desert Friendly and profesional staff You must try everything Turkish desert and coffee

Amazing, simply amazing. Great menu, great staff, quality food presented very well in a setting with real atmosphere. Lovely menu with good choice. Fair prices and a decent portion size. Excellent service even for a lunchtime sitting, with each dish perfectly presented. Quality doesn't drop just because it's lunchtime. Highly recommend.

Had a bit of a rubbish date this evening, it ended long before I'd planned so I had a lot of time on my hands and nowhere to put it! To cheer myself up I thought I'd take myself for dinner and really just walked in here at random. Staff were absolutely lovely, and attentive, the food was totally incredible, and even the house wine just hit the spot perfectly! Definitely recommend, ended up pulling victory from the Jaws of defeat!

Had a Christmas dinner with my co- workers! Never been there before, would definitely visit again! Amazing food, amazing staff!

Food was very tasty; portions were reasonable; prices a little dear; atmosphere was lovely…but our waitress was as miserable as anything - made us feel quite uncomfortable.

Friends took us for a lunch time meal. There is a fixed priced menu with starter , mains and dessert options. The menu offers something for everyone. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. Nice Mediterranean style restaurant interior. A very enjoyable meal.

Lovely looking place, cosy decor and nice team however food is really not good. Every dish we ordered was very disappointing. Meat doesn't taste fresh (potentially defrosted before ordering..), dishes have no flavour whatsoever. Tried number of Turkish/Mediterranean restaurants in North london but never had anything this disappointing. Unless food improves, avoid at all cost

Delish food, beautiful setting, lovely service

I ve been going to this restaurant regularly about 4 years now. Lovely restaurant, very pleasant staff and good food

Really good food. Excellent service

Such lovely staff! Knew what to recommend, great customer service and friendly. Food was awesome and fairly priced.

Having walked past this restaurant nearly every day for the past two years I decided to give it a go. Unfortunately I was underwhelmed by our experience here, although my partner really enjoyed it. Positives were the waiting staff were very pleasant, attentive and friendly, the restaurant has a really nice ambience, the chicken beyti main was cooked nicely for me and my partner loved her stuffed artichoke main. Negatives were how quickly the experience lasted, two starters, two mains in one hour felt so rushed. The mains came out five minutes after our starters were taken, the place was not busy but it would've been nice to relax a little more. Then the prices. The hummus starter doesn't come with bread, this was a first for me and cost £6.50. The halloumi and avocado starter cost £8.45 and was literally two slices of grilled halloumi and half an avo with a bit of oil. It was fine, but very basic for the price. The artichoke main veg accompaniment looked like it was straight out of a tin. Sweetcorn, peas and carrots did not look appetising at all. My pilaf rice was wet and contained sweetcorn and peas and was unseasoned. For the price I would expect a bit more. Two starters, two mains and a carafe of wine with service was £70 in one hour. A bit more care and patience with the food and timings would have made the evening memorable.

I have nothing but praises for this restaurant from the minute I walked in such beautiful and elegant decor. They have so many vegetarian options. I had the most amazing meal of portobello mushrooms with vegetables/cheese and rice. The flavours were incredible and the food is so fresh. My friend who travelled from Dubai also enjoyed the meal she ordered a lamb kebab I think. Both of us polished our food. The staff are really friendly, I cant wait to go back and very reasonably priced. I've been a few times before and this place never lets me down would highly recommend

Delicious food. Its a family run restaurant and every time I've eaten there I've enjoyed the food. Beautiful presentation of food, flavours are spot on.

Fabulous food and great service love the lunch special highly recommend this lovely restaurant

Nice and quiet place to enjoy authentic Turkish food. You can take your family, date or friends to enjoy.

Wonderful customer service, chicken shish and kleftiko was amazing, starters came so fresh and bread was hot and crispy, can’t be more happy with the restaurant.

Edit: I was called and intimidated by the owner after my review!!! I’ll give a ring to the police now to complain about their menacing call. I was quite let down by the way we were treated due to our dietary requirements. I asked if the meat is halal and the staff said yes it is. I wanted to double check by asking do you have a certificate and he said no in a rude way and asked us to go somewhere else which has a certificate. Appalling customer service.

A little slower on service than I liked, just over an order after ordering, but was worth the wait. Lovely fresh food served with a smile.

An amazing place to eat , the food is delicious the service is spectacular. If I could give it 10 starts I would . Here you are welcomed and treated very well.

Not just excellent food, excellent customer service and a very clean venue….but a great experience. Great job Meze & Shish, you should all be proud.

What a treat😀🤗🤗🤗 Food that makes you happy and great service!!! Strongly recommend !!!!

Great sevice and food. Reasonable prices. Great ambience. I will be back!

Very very very tasty food, such a great variety of flavours. Buggy friendly, big changing table too. Easy on street parking nearby.

Location easy to find, and on street parking is available nearby. Food taste and quality was excellent, price reasonable. Service staff friendly and attentive. Ambience is great. I love the tables in the glass area, have a summer feeling to it when the weather is good. The facilities are very clean. Definitely recommend for people who never been before.

Food so tasty and fresh . Lovely seating area. Waitresse was polite and friendly..

Best place to eat on the high street

This was a regular of ours pre pandemic. We returned after a long absence to find that it is even better. Very tasty food, friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Good to be back.

Lovely meze lunch. Excellent portion sizes. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Service is excellent.

My favourite Turkish restaurant in London.. It's very cozy and the quality and taste of food are outstanding.. Never been disappointed. My recommendation is the Shish Kebab ... Will always come back for more...

Wish they were better at suggestions with vegetarian and vegan meals

Excellent menu for both meat eaters and vegetarians, very fresh food and served nicely. Good choice of beers and wine, friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again.

I love going here and was worried I’d be disappointed with a takeaway. It was amazing. The lamb was perfect, great portion size. 100% would recommend

I had the seabass and it was AMAZING

We regularly get Lahmacun takeaway from Meze Shish. Often it is very good hence we keep ordering again and again. That said, sometimes there are inconsistencies in the mince meat ingredients. We would love if they could add fresh parsley as a side-- this is the authentic experience we are missing. Thank you!

The lady at front of house is charming and the food is delicious!

Great value lunchtime deal. Food and service was great. Worth a visit.
