Shish Restaurant in Redbridge

Delicious food. Nice and quick service.

food was good a few years ago but they hve upped to price and quality has gone down

What a turnaround from how this place was 2-3 years ago. Gone is the owner and the frozen food. It now has fresh, tasty and gristle free food. The service has improved immeasurably with a new floor manager who is inviting and friendly. The restaurant although similar in its look and feel is now transformed. Happy to recommend this place again.

The best Turkish restaurant in Woodford and half the price of the others!!

I recently visited Shish Restaurant, and the transformation under the new ownership is remarkable. The restaurant has undergone a beautiful redecoration, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious, showcasing authentic Turkish flavors with a modern twist. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend Shish Restaurant for an exceptional dining experience.

Small family run Turkish restaurant. Very good food, for reasonable price and quick service.

Great restaurant and great staff!

Great food, great service, great value

Perfect ambience, good place for smaller groups to get along. The best part is the food(fresh and fingerlicking good). Must try😊

What a lovely evening to celebrate my birthday. Excellent food, atmosphere will definitely return in the future. Thank you.

All the meals were mouth-wateringly delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection and very succulent. Welcoming and helpful service. Will definitely be returning.

Regulars here. Always great food and service.

Very good Turkish food. Friendly staff with a sense of humour. Very accommodating. We added to our order after they took it and they were happy to do this.

very nice and fresh meat. Very friendly and personable staff.

Fabulous authentic Turkish restaurant in Woodford serving complimentary starters, excellent food that's reasonably priced & Turkish tea offered free of charge. Although the alcohol is a bit pricey £8.45 for a large house red which is Turkish wine & pleased to say it was good, EFES £6.45

So good Amazing hospitality & service Best Lamb Shish Will be returning very soon

If you want Proper authentic Turkish food at very competitive prices then this is the place to go. amazing service and always very friendly. A+++

We’ve been here for lunch a few times and are never disappointed. The lunch menu is such good value and caters for all tastes. I always go for the lamb Shish. It is so tender and the marinade is delicious. Bread and dips are free when you order a main. Took my mum and dad for the first time and they were very impressed.

Very good staff They treated very well I didn't see anywhere else this kind of service THANK YOU

My first time here but unfortunately I won't be returning. The portion sizes are extremely small and on the stingy side, certainly not worth the price. I also found regulars were offered Turkish tea afterwards but we weren't and I even saw the waiter tell 2 customers that they could have their starters on the house. I am not looking for freebies but I didn't appreciate that.

Unfortunately a restaurant that was so good in the past in terms of food and customer service, is now so awful I am struggling to say anything nice. The owner/manager seems to have contempt for his customers. We arrived at around 9pm asking if they were open. We were told they were open, he then proceeded to tell us how horrible his customers were. The food was just terrible. Cheap frozen ring calamari, that must have cost £1 for 40 rings. It could have been onion rings as there was no distinguishable taste and was rock hard. Speaking of rock hard, the falafel was like an ice hockey puck. Dry and tasteless. The meat, was not cooked. The Adana was partly cooked at best and the chicken Shish was tasteless. At the end of the meal when I asked the manager/owner of he wanted feedback, he was rude and quite scary. My advise is avoid and eat a pizza.

Lovely waitress lovely food nicely cooked insha Allah will take off

I need to find the chef and tell him that’s the best lamb I’ve had in my life! Melted in my mouth #amazing

First time visiting this lovely restaurant. It's not big nor is the menu huge but it's got the WOW factor for sure. Friendly helpful & prompt staff, the chef can be seen clearly preparing food & what he prepares is excellent. Complimentary hot delicious bread with humus, cacik, spicy dip etc followed by the most tender lamb an shish kebab we ever tasted. Succulent tender meat with a tasty chargrill flavour. Starters were freshly cooked & tasty the prawns tender & tasty in a sauce but not smothered & the feta bored wad wonderful too with a crispy filo pastry packed with feta. They wine Carbenaet Savaigon a little pricey but for a good 250ml and the Efes beer complimented the food perfectly. We will definitely travel 60 miles back to what's now become a favourite restaurant.

Lovely bit of chicken from the charcoal grill

Had a lovely lunch from the lunch menu. Great value and service. I’ve been been back for lunch several times and have chatted to the owners. It is a family business which makes me like it even more. I always have the lamb kebab from the lunch menu. Delicious!

Very cosy small restaurant, good atmosphere. Delicious food and shish. Lamb shish the best.

A regular lunch stop. Great food and wine/beer at a reasonable price.

Excellent food. Tenderest lamb shish I've ever had. Lunch special is great for the price.

The quality of the food is fantastic. Lamb Shish is the one to go for - or the chops! They also give you free fresh, hot bread and hummus to start, along with other nice dips!

Popped in on my lunch break and was happy with the lunch choice. Tasty lamb dish and friendly staff, I would go back .

The Broadway Meze nearby is much better

Spur of the moment meal, worth every penny! I would highly recommend it!

We have been coming since the first day it opened. The food is fantastic. The service is friendly and you always get a warm welcome. They will try to accommodate you if you haven't booked even at busy times. It is advisable to book as it gets busy. If you want a variety of dishes I would recommend the Shish Platter. You can always take home what you don't eat. We will be returning very soon.

Lovely people, lovely food and welcome. Highly recommended.

A lovely little restaurant, great food and service very time . Hot bread with dips to start are absolutely wonderful . The mixed kebabs are succulent and tasty. 5 stars for quality, service and price .

The food at Shish was super fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding!

We have always had an amazing meal here ,the staff are so friendly we moved from buckhurst Hill & still choose to pop in here from Cambridgeshire.

It was very tasty, amazingly priced, amazing service, and free food at the start, i would highly recommended

Always fantastic food whether eating in on takeaway.

Good value for money,excellent staff more important it is good food at reasonable price.

Tasteless and watery rice Lamb shish bits off fatty burnt edges on a plate ..could not eat it..

Great service, good food. Quite a pleasant place to eat. Will recommend

A hidden gem in Woodford, impeccable service and great tasting authentic Turkish food, this is a must visit for me at least once a week from now on! Would highly recommend! 😁

Definitely one of the top Turkish restaurants in London!

Great service here, and food was great. Thank you guys!

Good was not very hot but tasted very good service was attentive table given was next to the toilet drinks expensive overall s bit pricey for s kabab at almost £100 per head there are much better places to eat and drink for a local Turkish restaurant

Very nice place, quiet small but nice atmosphere. Food really nice and well tended too the only fault would be the drinks are a bit pricey

Been here with the 3 grandkids, staff were brilliant, kids were really looked after, very attentive. Food is superb and really good value. I highly recommend the Turkish red. A cosy small restaurant packed with highly efficient staff. Everyone who we have taken there have been again, that must say something. Please keep up the great service x

Awesome food 😋 good quality and quantity highly recommend 👌

Lovely chilli sauce nice a hot. Good portions.

Absolutely amazing restaurant, it’s small but gives a great sense of culture. Delicious food too.

We went to This place first time and when the meze arrived I couldn’t believe the sizes as they were very generous The biggest surprise was the lamb that they cooked. We ordered a platter which obviously couldn’t finish but I had never tasted lamb this tasty and soft and I have actually been to hundreds of kebab shops I had to let the chef know that the meat was marinated and cooked perfectly and it was like nothing that I tasted before. I would highly recommend this place

Wonderful service and food for my niece's birthday. The staff are absolutely brilliant nothing is too much trouble.

Excellent service and atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Ver friendly.

Beautiful food, wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for us ❤

Staff are very rude. Especially the lady

Bit of a strange experience. Staff seemed a bit over attentive. Visited there quite late in evening and last minute decision, but lots of tables available. Food was nice. I have eaten there before when it was very pleasant, lively and friendly!

Excellent service and food which is reasonably priced

Excellent food and excellent service and very reasonably priced

Very nice restaurant would thoroughly recommend. Good food, amazing customer service, very nice ambience especially on a warm summer evening.

Unfortunately the food was average...it did not live up to the high expectations

I didn’t actually eat in but I ordered take away and the food was absolutely amazing. I had some dietary requirements and most places told me they couldn’t help but I rang and the staff were so helpful and cooked my food different to accommodate my needs. Honestly 10/10 for food and service! I will definitely be returning!

Staff were very welcoming while social distancing. I had a takeaway I asked for small and a large they do a medium and large Includes rice,salad,bread,houmous and lots of chicken and sauces.very (smooth houmous) I asked them to pack the med and large separate no trouble it came in at more than I would normally pay it was just under £25. I had my meal and had 2 days of lunches Would I go back yes Sue

Super Tasty! Chicken and Lamb Shoah was super juicy, big portion, nice salad and rice. Complementary Humus and and still warm bread. Felt like made with Love and Care!

Very tasty, very pleasant staff

Service and food also staff excellent

Always a lovely meal, with great service. Thanks.

Went for a meal at the shish Woodford Green On a Saturday in lockdown. The ownerServed us and he was very nice and chattyWe got free bread and dip free salad I had the lamb shish it was the best I’ve had It was so nice my wife had the chicken and was lovely as well . Free drink after meal and sweets lolSo will be going back . Thanks John Jeanette

Great food! And turkish delight at the end 😇 soo good 🙌

I had visited this restaurant and the service, the food and the attitude had been disgusting. The experience its self will make you regret your visit and travel. In addition, the staff lacked service and how to retract with customers. They had been rude and took around 1 hour to process the food order. This place is a abomination. The food was undercooked, the food was tasteless, the food was revolting. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DEVASTATED TO EAT OUT IN A RESTAURANT. NOT GOING HERE AGAIN !!! Watch out for the disgraceful security men.

That was the worst kebab I have ever had. If I could have sent it back I would have

Very rude when I called up for a table

Thank you for a fantastic spread, the large meze platters, salads, flatbreads and extras was a great success for the lockdown birthday celebrations. The Turkish delight went down well too. Look forward to the next celebration.

We had a great meat platter takeaway a few weeks ago. Plenty of food - the chicken wings were particularly delicious - but it was all very good. Generous portions and the salad has improved massively from the last time we ate here. Looking forward to returning to the restaurant after lockdown.

Ordered a takeaway the other day, had to pay £8 extra just so I could pay on card! The price also changes every time I had ordered the exact same thing!! Food was cold, seemed stale and not enjoyable at all. Used to come here a lot will definitely not be coming again or ordering a takeaway.

Ordered food from there for ifthaar and was looking forward to eating it. When I unpacked the food, it was stone cold and had still ice on top. Even the hummus was still iced. All the food was from the freezer and they had the cheek to not even fully defrost it before giving it to me!! I understand that times are tough but really?? Frozen food?? I couldn't believe it!! Literally my ifthaar was absolutely spoilt!! Will never buy from there again!

I bought a take away for 6 people from that restaurant this evening . It was a very average Turkish food , with a Very expensive price tag. The Kebabs were very salty. Salad had no dressing . All together very disappointing . I would not order any food from that restaurant again

What can you say. The food is lovely, dips are given free with fresh cooked bread. Good choice of wines, then after your meal fresh fruit is given free. Staff are friendly and very nice.

Came for an ad hoc, mid week dinner. Had one of the best experiences in lovely customer care and delicious food. Thank you.

Authentic Turkish food, always a great standard, especially my fav chicken shish. Great service, very friendly and very clean which we like!!

Cosy restaurant with fresh food which makes you feel in Istanbul.Owner is very friendly and always there to help.The best restaurant in Woodford Green.

Great night out excellent food and service didn't need to book. Reasonable prices. Fair selection of vegetarian dishes. Huge portions.

Have been quite few times,food is excellent everyone,staff are friendly and approachable love going there

Loved this place .. Staff is so courteous .. Its like home for me..

Went New Years Eve but there were no celebrations. Probably because it was normal prices. Friendly staff. Average food. I’ve had a lot better Turkish food locally. However it was cheap at £57.50 a couple with service.

Shared a meal with a friend and we were made to feel very welcomed. Kebab was tasty and chips were great. Meal came with bread, 2 cold starters and this was all finished off with fresh fruit and baklava. Much cosier and tastier than Belgique and the turkish tea was delicious. Thankyou for the hospitality on a freezing afternoon

Muhteşem lezzetler, harika servis, ilgili çalışanlar, uygun fiyat.Öğle yemeği ve akşam yemeği için vazgeçilmez mekan.

Love this place - we go whenever we are in the area (it's 130 miles from home). Food and services are exemplary and it's always blooming delicious 🤤🥰

Great food, great service and perfectly situated near the station! And ifyou want an even cheaper night out, they allow you to bring your own wine sunday to thursday! Thanks to all the team, we will be back soon. ❤

Excellent customer service, lovely vibe. Friendly staff. Great meal. Good price.

We walked into this little restaurant without much expectation, but we walked out totally impressed. The food was excellent and the service....THE service was outstanding. I do not remember the last time I felt so welcomed and cared for in a restaurant ( coming after a night in London at a posh restaurant where the service did not compare). The staff here really makes you feel good and welcome. Small gestures and touches that make all the difference. I really enjoyed and I would gladly recommend and return to this restaurant. Thank tou Begum

The staff at Cook around the corner recommended I dined here, and they weren't wrong. The restaurant is small and tables crowded together, but so what, the dining neighbours were as friendly as the service. I chose a starter of deep fried lamb's liver and a mixed kebab main course. When the waiter came to my table the first time it was to bring a free pre-starter of hummus, taramasalata and flatbread. On the second visit he brought salad, yogurt, and a fiery chilli sauce so the table was already looking a little crowded when the dinner plate sized starter arrived. The mound of liver was crispy and hot, great with the sauces.

Lovely little touches added to your order to heighten the experience. Smiling efficient staff serving fresh hearty food in enormous portions of tastyness. Enjoy 👍🏻

So full! Excellent quality meats, great service all round! Set in a good location near the Station. Loved it!

I was going to start by saying it’s about time Shish got the review it deserves but it looks as though I might be late to the party with hundreds of others already recognising this as local gem! Shish may not be as glamorous as its Turkish cousins Mezze & Ocakbasi (which are also excellent) as it’s nothing more than a 25/30 seater, with no bar and no entertainment but what it lacks on that front it more than makes up for in service, excellent food and value for money. I’ve been to several Turkish’s in my time, ate more mixed grills than you could shake a stick at and always paid for my Cacik & Hummus starter however, Shish offer this as complementary with enough bread to feed the 5000. It makes you wonder how Sheesh in Chigwell get away with charging the best part of an Ayrton Senna for yoghurt and cucumber? nothing short of daylight robbery if you ask me. Anyway, I digress...couldn’t recommend this place enough, the people running Shish couldn’t do enough for you and the food is top notch!

Had seen the restaurant a few times but never been in. So glad we did, great service, amazing food and comes with bread, dips and all the trimmings. Well worth a visit!

All I can say is fantastic food and staff. Lovely on all levels. Always a warm welcome and they look after celebrities that attend

Mediocre halloumi wrap to take away - £10 each?!?! Chips were ‘gratis’ but cardboard. Two stars because service was kindly.

Friendly, accommodating nice food
