Shish At Anatolia in Waveney

Had a large group of us all the food was cooked to perfection and plenty of us had 2 platters to share was plenty left over. Also had a collection and food tasted exactly the same as when we sat in restaurant

Just had takeaway , extremely disappointed. Iskender was very dry, shredded chicken . Barbecue onion ordered as extra portion , had no spice no molasses , were fridge cold and basically raw . The response to the complaint not the greatest , normally brilliant today poor

Food was amazing, tasted great, all the meats were really succulent and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend. Service was great and not rushed at all.

Food is delicious. Staff was very kind. Good view as well.

Just had the most beautiful tasty and enjoyable lunch for my partners 60th Birthday and a lovely view over the Suffolk Broads. The service was fantastic, Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, great service. We visited on a Monday evening when very few restaurants in Lowestoft were open on an off season Monday evening. Fortunately Shish at Anatolia was open. The young man at front of house and taking orders did a great job. The menu is varied with a good range of Turkish dishes and some Turkish wines and beers available. The complimentary bread and dips reminiscent of our trips to Turkey. Highly recommended for both the quality of food and service.

Excellent service, nice food, all good 👍

Amazing food, very tasty, excellent service, dog friendly....can't ask for more

Excellent experience from the time we were greeted at the reception. The seating is well arranged with enough room between tables to give privacy. Lovely decor, extremely clean and welcoming. We chose the Shish house special for two, but were pleasantly surprised to receive a selection of breads and dips together with an amazing onion dish - so tasty and refreshing. The platter was superb, as with all the food it was incredibly tasty, beautifully hot and attractively presented. The staff couldn’t do more to help, being attentive without being intrusive. A great choice.

Absolutely superb!!! The food was delicious and probably the best I've ever tasted. Nice paced out service and very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning. Hopefully very soon.

Just your generic Turkish restaurant. Wouldn’t recommend it. £60 for two mediocre kebabs and a wine /beer. Let’s face it, if you’ve had one kebab you’ve had them all. Service adequate, little atmosphere. Best aspect is view over harbour. Don’t bother.

The best Turkish food I have had in a long time. We had the Shish House Special for 4 people. It was full of flavour, fresh and huge!!! It came with Bulger wheat and rice, with roasted tomatoes salad and breads. Everything made fresh to order and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be coming back again.

Absolutely disgusting!!! We had a takeaway it was stone cold, and didn’t taste right at all. We called them they were perfect said they will refund if we taken the food back so we did. When we got there she didn’t offer fresh food to be cooked or anything she just chucked £20 at me. Got police there too. Very very rude not respect at all Definitely won’t be recommending to anyone

Food is excellent. Service is excellent. A great place to come with family, outings and your date. Would definitely recommend highly.

First of all you get complementary bread and sauces which are very well presented and tasted amazing. For my main I had the lamb kuzu, chicken wings and rice. The meat is cooked so well, it’s well marinated and literally melts in your mouth. Me and my partner come here quite often as we love it so much, the service as well is absolutely outstanding. Not to forget the beaut view overlooking all the boats! 10 stars !!🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have been coming to this restaurant with my wife and daughter in the last few years when visiting our holiday home in Oulton Broads. The food is always fabulous and the portions are big . The owner is always very welcoming . All the staff are attentive. We like the decor of the restaurant and it is worth getting a table by the window to enjoy the view of the Broads and boats.

Excellent food, courteous staff and fantastic views!! I could not fault what we had. The bream was amazing. One of the best breams I have ever had. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the food was authentic, of an excellent quality and very reasonably priced. One of the best Turkish restaurants I have ever been to. I cannot recommend them more highly. Our waiter, Nathan, stood out: he was friendly and helpful.

An airy space,with nice views over oulton broad.friendly staff and fresh cooked tasty food,with good portions. It was lunch time when we visited and quiet,so can't really comment on the atmosphere as we were the only ones there at the time.

I cannot recommend Shish enough, it is well worth a visit. Celebrated a big birthday yesterday lunchtime and the restaurant was ideal. The interior was well decorated. Extremely clean. The views are brilliant overlooking the Oulton Broad Marina. The place relaxing. The food was very good. Well cooked and great flavours. Two courses each for four persons. about 8 drinks £151. The staff were friendly and helpful.

This place is absolutely amazing. I take my daughter here all the time and we both absolutely love the food. The service is 💯 and I would eat here everyday if I could lol we have the chicken shish every time and it is always delicious!! Thanks to all the staff here 👌👌👌 10/10

Having eaten all week at a local hotel I was keen to try something else . I could see Shish from my hotel and called in without a reservation . Staff were exceptionally friendly and the food ….. Superb ! highly recommended .

I would like to ask is there halal food?

Fabulous! Staff were really friendly. Food was amazing!!! Best meal out I have had all year!!! Definitely would go back

Fabulous restaurant. Real authentic Turkish atmosphere. Food was delicious. Staff are attentive and arrived at our table with a smile. We had the hot Meze and salads, Baclava and Tia Maria and Jamaican coffee. View amazing lovely sunset. We will be back👌😄

Fantastic all round. Lovely staff great service and food very tasty and absolutely fabulous salad.

Absolutely beautiful meal, the atmosphere is buzzing and the staff really add to this. Being able to see in the kitchen and the meats being barbecued is a unique experience. The views outside, especially on a night like tonight, were amazing. We all had a different meal and we could not of asked for anything more. A really beautiful restaurant which is obviously cared about. Highly recommend!

Had a brilliant night in the Shish - a stop for us Ona weeks broads cruising. Couldn’t fault the welcome, service, food, drinks. Just a great experience. Sorry for being the last to leave but that’s because we didn’t want to! We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone who likes Turkish food. Thank you for giving us a great night! Keith xx

We ate here with a party of 16. They were so accommodating to both adults and the children. The food was absolutely top notch!! Highly recommend.

The staff was really nice and respectful, the food was amazing, beautiful view highly recommend

We just came back from such a wonderful meal for my birthday. I’m also visiting from Australia where I have missed Turkish food and this really hit the spot! Huge portions, great service, clean, has great views and I currently can’t move I ate so much because the food was so good! Strongly recommend!

Authentic tasting food. Service was excellent and price not exorbitant. Will go back there when in the area. .

Fab, quality food. Excellent lovely friendly service. Almost too full to write this review 😅😋

Lovely food with good portions. The ambiance with the music looking at the Broads is a winning combination.

Wonderful experience. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. They guided us in our choice of menu and answered all our questions. Complimentary bread, onions and dips to start. Main courses came with rice and salad. The food was delicious, freshly cooked and full of flavour. Wine was excellent too.Beautiful views and lovely new furnishings. We will certainly be returning and recommending to friends.

Stopped for a lunch while out walking. (Cold Meze platter and salad) Lovely food, atmosphere and very friendly staff. Not my first visit and won’t be my last. Would recommend.

Cracking meal for 6 here - food was wonderful throughout all great - service from Kirsty was lovely back tonight - ps Turkish wine was good too

Best Turkish meal ever. Service was spot on, atmosphere was great with Turkish music quietly in the background. Everyone looked very happy.

Fantastic service and wonderful staff really made the meal even better. Food was out of this world.

Great atmosphere, the food was amazing the service is a 5 star rating

Thought we would give this restaurant a try as came highly recommended. Service was excellent, staff very friendly. Thought food was a little expensive but portions were good. A very nice complementary appertizer was served and then we shared a platter for two. This was of ample portions, in fact too much meat really but a little disappointed that it all tasted the same, was expecting more spicy flavours. We took the left overs home for the dog. Restaurant very nice inside, but I'm going to be critical and say lighting a bit too bright and very noisy on this occasion.

Decided to try this restaurant as it looks fantastic from outside and we were not disappointed. From the moment you walk through the door you get that lovely welcoming feeling from the staff especially Megan the waitress. We both had such a lovely meal and it actually felt like we'll were on holiday abroad. You can watch your food behind cooked in the kitchen from your table which is a nice touch and the chefs were very friendly. Overall this is a great place to treat the wife and we really enjoyed meeting the owner and other staff. Thank you we will be back.

Got to say WHOW , the food at SHISH overlooking the water was superb and the staff super attentive and knowledgeable. Valentines night was super with a lovely atmosphere. We were so pleasantly surprised as we hated the sister restaurant Antalya, which lacked atmosphere With poor food.and service. We definitely will be regulars and revisit overlooking the lake .

We had an awesome meal with our friends. Food was lush, and well presented. Staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was great, we were so well looked after. How we have never been before I, I don't know. We will definitely be back.

Lovely people, great atmosphere & lovely food. Never been let down. Big plus- they give you what you ask for not what they think you want. Great value for money.

I visited this restaurant whilst on holiday about three years ago when was Anatolia. It was so good we went five times in one week! Once you find somewhere good why go somewhere else and be disappointed? I moved here recently and was upset to find the restaurant closed. Then someone told me had move to Oulton Broad and was now called Shish We booked and I was so excited to go. Same people so should be good right? I ordered the Feta salad, grilled Halloumi and hummus and bread as I am a veggie. John ordered mushrooms to start followed by chicken wings. I must say waiting staff were lovely so no criticism of them, just the food. The food arrived. My large fabulous salad had changed to a finely chopped small bowl resembling a tabbouleh and the feta instead of being lovely and crumbly was like a block of soap. The halloumi had changed from rich puffy grilled slices in abundance to four meagre pieces of not very good halloumi. The hummus needed more Tahini and garlic and was not very exciting at all. Bread good. Johns mushroom were very good and as these came firstly I was hopeful until above. This came with complimentary grilled slices of onion which were nice but I am pretty sure I could taste meat so probably on same grill which for a veggie is horrid and a no no His chicken wings were okay but the rice with it was pretty strange in taste. This came with a few boring bits of grilled vegetables. It was a thoroughly unsatisfying unedifying meal All main courses were £23 which even with cost of living is not cheap. Staff were lovely - so disappointed will not be going back

First time visiting and won’t be the last. Food was really good quality and the staff were friendly and attentive (special mention to Kirsty who looked after us). We ordered the Shish special platter for 2 which covered 3 of us with a side of halloumi.

Food was excellent 👌 sharing platter absolutely amazing. And the desserts are homemade very tasty. Service is excellent, atmosphere and the view gives you the feeling of being away somewhere in Mediterranean.

We were welcomed by very attentive staff. Complementary food was güven before our meals and was also very delıcıous. We had a lovely time and will definitely go back without hesitation. Thank you shish

First upon arrival, we was greated by the welcoming and lonely staff. Throughout the night the staff and team was incredibly helpful and kind to us. Complementary food was given with waiters and waitress always on hand for more drinks. The food was incredible I had the hot meze and tavuk sis. Both was really tasty. Prices were reasonably priced and had no issue with the bill. Will definitely come again, highly recommend.

Went here with my family for an early Christmas meal and its safe to say the food was absolutely amazing. The service was equally as good. The chicken shish was perfectly seasoned and desserts are homemade too. Would highly recommend this Turkish cuisine to anyone in the area. Restaurant beautifully decorated too!

The food was absolutely delicious, service was great, the staff were welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was very clean, we were very surprised. Definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Visiting the area so searched for well reviewed restaurants. We hadn't booked but the friendly staff fitted us in and couldn't have been more attentive.The food was absolutely delicious and the wine ( very fussy about my wine) was very good quality. It well deserves it's review rating and I wish more restaurants provided such excellent friendly service

Great venue overlooking the Broad (used to be Balti Raj) . Food is genuine Turkish, Need to survey the wide ranging menu...(may need advice if first time visit.) You can see it being cooked...The mezzy was great.

It’s a-great place to have a food at A very beautiful of view. The serves was great specially Monica. 🌹🌹🌹

After ordering Tavuk Kanat online, we decided that we have to dine-in in this place. The restaurant may not look so appealing from outside, but what a fantastic place inside. I love the decor at every corner, even in the toilet! The staff were nice and friendly. We were sat by the window overlooking the lake opposite which was the best spot, I guess. It was a busy Friday night, the restaurant was full and our food understandably came a little slow. The food was fantastic we ordered house sish kebab and some side dishes which we forgot to take photos of because we were too busy enjoying the food. No need to book a flight to Turkiye for turkish food, I would highly recommend this place and would go back if I happened to be in the area again.

Good food but very very expensive for what is was. Best part of twenty quid for a kebab without any salad is too much. I won't be going back I'm afriad.

Fabulous, delicious food with very informative, attentive, friendly staff. Only downside was when the bill was presented, VAT was added so we got an extra charge of nearly £37 added to our bill which is a rather a cheeky way of not increasing prices in a devious way. We obviously paid the bill but pointed out that normally VAT is not added to the bill but it is already included in the menu price. When we checked the menu details of VAT to be added was mentioned albeit in small print! Could not fault food or staff so gave it a five star rating but owners need to be aware of this dissatisfaction of this particular party of customers.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Will definitely be back.

The quality of food is amazing! Beautiful service and wonderful location! Don’t miss out on this gem of a place

Delicious! Quick, efficient and friendly service, delicious and generous portions of Turkish cuisine. Worth more than one visit.

Meant to do this rave review at the time! This was a really lovely restaurant. Great service from Kirsty and all the team. Humus, baba ghanoush and vine leaves all delicious. My note says we had Hot Meze and a bottle of Pebble Bay Zinfandel. There were several added extras like dips and bread and a very tasty pomegranate sauce. Quality touches like fabric tablecloths and iced water with a big slice of lemon, more than many restaurants offer. The restaurant was stylish, contemporary and simple with great views and on a very warm evening we sat near a terrace door so it was nice and airy. Attractive lighting and a good ambiance with smiling and charming service. Really great evening and I’d highly recommend if you’re in the area and like Turkish/med-style cooking.

Lovely place, service was excellent and the food were suberb. Thank you for the lovely meal.

I can’t fault this place. Highly recommended

What a place .. fantastic decor, great views and amazing food. Friendly and attentive staff, even when the restaurant got seriously busy. If you're down this way definitely pay a visit. You won't be disappointed 😃👍

I’ve never had a Turkish meal before, but this was a great first meal to introduce me to the culture. I loved this meal and so did my family, I would 100% go again if I was given the opportunity, it really deserves 5 stars on google reviews, our waiter was lovely and I really can’t complain about anything from tonight. Thanks for a great meal Shish! 😋

We made a last-minute booking and weren't disappointed. Great food...the calamari starter is one of the best we've ever had, so can definitely recommend that. For our main we chose the mixed kebab sharer for two...prices were more London than Lowestoft, but we took home enough uneaten food for lunch the next day, so can't grumble about the quantity of food and everything we ate was very tasty and perfectly cooked. There were quite a few cheap meats like chicken wings (never had those in a kebab) in our dunner and we'd rather have had less of those and more tender whole cuts of chicken and lamb as wings are so fiddly to eat politely...so def not a first date meal. The kitchen was very open plan and we liked seeing how clean it was and how often the staff washed their hands. Great views over the water, which they hardly mention in their blurb. The windows are huge and it was lovely to have a nice view from our table. Great staff...they were busy and it was hot, but they couldn't have been kinder or more attentive...some of the best service we've had anywhere! Everyone we spoke to, young or mature, female or male really added to our happy, holiday vibe, which helped make our meal even more enjoyable! Thanks to all there, we'd definitely recommend Shish to friends and family.

Came in on the off chance. It was just super. Defo recommend. The lamb chops were amazing and the Shish to die for. Staff were lovely

I have just returned from my visit and had to review straight away. The staff were spot on, friendly, not overbearing. Very helpful. After ordering drinks they brought us bread and an onion appetiser. Both lovely, the onion was soaked in pomegranate sauce. Starters we...

Nice food very expensive hidden charges at the end extra 20 percent vat on top of your bill that your not told about till the end. Nearly £ 80 pounds for two chicken kebabs and salad chips, hallomoi and two cokes with extra 20 percent...

First rate food and really friendly service. And a lovely view out towards the broads. The team brought out some amazing bread and dips while we were waiting. Mains were just perfect. The menu pricing is odd - sticking a sticker on saying you need...

Food and service excellent. Nice looking over the water but very noisy. Very exspensive for what you get and VAT not added until the end of your meal.

Really good food but note that the prices on the menu DO NOT include VAT. Nice to see that the kitchen is visible and the chefs are very talented.

Good food and service, lovely views. Menu has prices shown without VAT, VAT is added onto the bill at the end. Not a problem as they do make that clear with a handwritten notice on the menu, but a bit strange, not seen that before. Would return as food was very tasty!

Great food as always , staff nice , been coming here for a few years now , Sadly VAT not included in menu price it’s added after , bit sneaky , now makes for a very expensive lunch

Great food and service. Only disappointing thing was the menu prices which previously included VAT, as is normal in hospitality, are now having 20 VAT added. A underhanded way to increase prices.

Lovely restaurant, great view and food. Do watch out for the VAT...Price of dishes on menu does not include this.

Lovely little gem on Oulton broads! We stopped in for lunch a little later in the afternoon and they were more than happy to accommodate us with friendly attentive service. Delicious complimentary dishes whilst we waited our main course which was incredible! We ordered the Shish house special and it was so flavourful and plentiful for bigger appetites. The restaurant was also nice decorated and well looked after. We’ll definitely be back!

This was our first visit to Shish and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented. Everything about it was first class - we were welcomed by the staff who were friendly and attentive, and the environment and decor were tastefully...

Really great food. I am Coeliac so have to follow a gluten free diet. The menu was 100% adaptable - the owner and all the staff understood food intolerances and allergies. The owner told me exactly what was in each dish - even down to the salad dressing. The food was awesome - just like being on holiday in Turkey. Fresh grilled fish and meat, salad, rice. Separate fryer for gf fries. Great wine. Really tasty, fresh cooked food - open kitchen so you can see what’s going on. Friendly, helpful staff and the place is spotlessly clean. Will definitely call again when in Oulton Broad - wish I lived closer!

Location is amazing and food taste good

Food was excellent and service very good. A lovely and comfortable restaurant

Great food, fresh and extremely tasty. Staff very courteous and friendly.

Excellent service and food, very attentive and polite staff but we’re not overpowering, just right. The establishment is very clean and tastefully furnished. Would highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back next time we moor at Oulton broad.

Wow what can I say! Simply amazing experience, staff really friendly, food just Devine so nice I cannot describe the gorgeously delicious dishes and served with a smile. Amazing value for money! Thank you for a great evening

Great Food great view of Broads. Excellent service and always freshly cooked. Reasonably priced.

Waitress was very lovely and polite food was lovely highly recommend it

My 1st takeaway & the food was superb! Will definitely be back

Great Turkish restaurant, friendly helpful staff, great atmosphere and view of Oulton Broad, food was delicious and plentiful, highly recommended!

Very good friendly staff. Lovely warm restaurant nice ambience. Good buzz and plenty of other diners. We had the hot mixed mezze at £20 for 4 people which was definitely good value for money. Sadly the falafel was dry and over cooked but the calamari was perfect. I enquired if the hummus was mass produced or home made. Sadly it was mass produced which is a shame as I would have hoped it would be homemade as it's a Turkish staple which is in every restaurant. The main course was seasoned lamb and was absolutely gorgeous. I shared it with my son as the portion was ample. He agreed the lamb was exceptional. Service was very good and I have given a 4/5 with a point missing for the sloppy cooking of my starter and the hummus from a catering jar. I would recommend the restaurant and I will go again when I am next in the area Nick

Superb. I'm only in the area for four days, but will definitely come back before I leave. Excellent food and service. Really glad I found this place!

The staff and the reception we received was so lovely we were taken to a lovely table overlooking oulton B-road (shame it was raining) but still stunning views, we decided on cocktails wow what an amazing porn star martini 👍 we also decided on the...

Such good food, and on Valentine’s evening there were some balloons, table decor and a free pud! Four of us shared the meze starter, with some rosé wine. So tasty! Then we had mains, a mix or lamb, chicken and prawns in a dish with side rice. We were well looked after by several waitresses throughout and the atmosphere was lovely. Our table overlooked the broad. We’ll be back for sure!

We had a family meal at Shish Anatolia, the food and service was excellent. The staff were very attentive.

The service was exemplary and the food sublime. Cannot fault this traditional Turkish restaurant and the chef came around all the tables to check that everyone was happy. Looking forward to going again as is my new local eating house.

The place is amazing!!! Big and delicious portions of turkish dishes!!! Staff is very very friendly!! And the views across the lake are amazing!!! I definitely recommend it and I'll definitely go there again!!! 👌👌👌
