The Shish Meze Bar - Rickmansworth in Three Rivers

Absolutely amazing place for your loved one's

Myself and my team would come here on multiple occasions almost every week to the point the waiter pretty much knew our orders before we were sat down. After many months of eating here the service has changed and something as simple as what was once a complimentary part of the meal you are now expected to pay for flat bread and dips. In addition all meals have become more expensive by more than a reasonable amount. Now your regular customers no longer go. What a shame!

The best Turkish in UK. Been to many many places but nothing is like this one. Everyone is very friendly, food is amazing, service is amazing, the owner treats everyone really like he’s own friends. I come here for over 3 years and it’s always amazing on all aspects.

Fantastic food and great service. I had the mix grill and I loved it.

Excellent decor, excellent service, and excellent food.

it is much tastier here than in the other three tested cafes nearby

Lovely food and staff are friendly the baklava is amazing too😍

Our regular spot. Delicious food and great service.

Great service, easy parking off street, nice food, with kids menu and terrific service. Food came quickly.

Food, cleanliness and service all excellent, highly recommended

What a wonderful place. The food and everything is just amazing. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Love this takeout restaurant. Always have mixed shish and halloumi salad and share it with my partner. It’s substantial, really tasty and reasonable. Friendly staff whenever I call to order and always ready for when my partner collects it shortly after. Thanks! Really do recommend.

We had a group of 32 looking for a Christmas dinner, and The Shish were extremely accommodating. The food was, as usual, excellent and the service swift and sure; the value simply unbeatable.

Fantastic food and service. The chef even came to our table a couple times to ask a few questions about how would want the food specifically.

Fine Turkish Meze restaurant, fresh grilled chicken and lamb. Fresh bread and nice dips. Very friendly staff.

Best place in hole world now if I like it u will Follow me on tiktok saminthehouse

Seriously the best Turkish kebabs I've had outside of Turkey. Service is excellent and they can't do enough for you! Had to ask for a doggy bag as I didn't want to waste what I couldn't eat. Will be going back again soon...

What can I say, first time visit to this place. Was very noisy, music too loud, kids being loud, and people raising their voices to be heard over the music/kids. Ordered our drinks, when they were delivered to our table, the waiter managed to drop them on the table, we were quick to move so none got on us. When my meal arrived I was horrified to received a bowl with cubed bread and chicken with a huge amount of greek yoghurt slapped on the top, a quartered tomato and a chunk of light green pepper. This is meant to be a meal, no veg/salad or rice with it, like a child had made it. I couldn't eat it with that amount of yoghurt and butter on. My wife's meal was good. Upon paying the bill, they tried to charge me for someone else's meals 3 times, until I pointed out that we only had the 2 dishes a bad tasting wine and a coke. The couple who were seated next to us had the same dish and were very confused to its make up too. As I said first time here, will be my last aswell, overpriced, weird food presentation and tried to rob me when paying.

We have ordered platters from here at least once a month over the past couple of years and haven’t been disappointed!

Very tasty food with a number of vegetarian options.

I have had food from here twice - once alone and once with the family. Do NOT be fooled by the fact that this place is in Mill End The food is AMAZING and great service Josh (the owner) is a top bloke and extremely down to earth guy You GOTTA eat here DR SUHAIL HUSSAIN (PRIVATE GP)

Visiting the area so called in, food was amazing and great selection. Service was good and very helpful.

Lovely staff and restaurant - it has won many awards for their food. Food was absolutely stunning and delicious, we did not wait long. My lamb chops were *chefs kiss*. We finished our meals with a yummy turkish tea, turkish delight and baklava trio. What a finish to our meal!

Fantastic food. Well cooked and delicious food. Thoroughly recommend a visit

I have eaten lunch here on several occasions. The food and service are absolutely superb. On the last two occasions we had the express set lunch. Portions were generous. The food quality was superb. My lamb Shish was divine. I had it on the previous occasion and it was superb. It was again yesterday. The salad was plentiful and good. The chips were really good. The humous and warm pitta bread was also excellent. The young girl in our party who always comes with us was treated like a princess and they gave her a free ice cream. This is my go to Turkish restaurant. You would be hard pressed to find better.

I was recommended to visit this place by a friend and I was absolutely blown away by the food, atmosphere and the service. Our waiter was lovely and tended to our every need. The food was absolutely delicious and my friend and I were pleasantly surprised by the fresh, complementary bread. I would recommend it to anyone and I will be sure to return very soon. 10/10

We just picked up a takeaway, unfortunately was disappointed with what we received.. mixed grill was lacking the variety one presumes would be in a mixed grill. Disappointed no breads were given to us this time. Just not what we were expecting.

Crank up the price merchants without informing you. Food was alright. Was persuaded to sit in and got a £5 charge for the pleasure.

Great place for fresh Turkish fare. Excellent service too. Bit on the pricey side.

Authentic Turkish food with mouthwatering flavours and friendly staff.

We've had takeaway from here a couple of times. Amazing, tasty & fresh food! Will be going back for sure.

Lovely ‘homey’ atmosphere, incredible food, especially the lamb chops!! Service was perfect and the waiter was lovely and rather funny. Will be coming back soon<3

Food was an hour late, cold and disappointing quantities

The best Turkish food!!! We are regular customers and love this place for lunch

Always good. Food and wines at fair prices

Went for mothers days meal with wife and kids. Waited nearly an hour to wait for our food as they forgot our order (it wasn’t even that busy) Kids had school the next day so had to rush food so we can get home on time. Food was good but ruined by waiting time and also lost my appetite by then. Not a lot of meat considering the platter alone was £46.

Without a doubt the best food on the whole money hill parade. Went for a family dinner (+8 people including kids) and the service and food were incredible. Its now our go to place for family dinners and a takeaway. The owner and all staff (especially Mustafa) always look after us! Highly recommended! Make sure you get the shish chicken platter! Thanks so much for always looking after is guys!

amazing food and great service definitely recommend this restaurant can’t wait to go back :)

Great place, food is amazing! Staff are really friendly and perfect service. Highly recommended

Cracking place. Lovely food, great service. Would highly recommend.

Gem of a place, lovely atmosphere and the food is amazing

A proper meal at the end of a holiday, during a break from the long drive home. What lovely treatment of a passing family, and a super grill. We've made a note to come back !

Absolutely amazing food and very welcoming staff, always up for a laugh, polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend it. Can be sure not to be disappointed in all areas.

If I could give zero stars I would. Despite the food being nice, it's no consolation for the terrible attitude of the owner. We had been once before and bread was complimentary. On this occasion, we received billing for it at which point I questioned the charge - this was not on the menu, nor was it explained to us it was chargeable. Once questioned with the waiter, I asked to speak to the owner for further clarification. As it was clarified he proceeded to tell me: "I own half of this parade and we were the first people to complain ever"; "my business partner is Gujurati"; "You only ordered one chicken kebab to share, tap water, and bread". All of which are completely irrelevant to the point I was making. He became noticeably aggressive and audibly louder for a restaurant that was completely empty on a Sunday evening, which was mildly amusing. We were made to feel like second class citizens which is definitely not what you would expect from the service industry. Disgraceful owner and will never go to eat there again.

Delicious food. Beautiful place 👌

Lovely food and service, portions were very big definitely where is says “serves 2” is easily 2.5/3. Mustafa was an excellent waiter this evening, good banter but also very attentive and helpful with his advice on the menu.

Love ❤️ this place travel from far for good quality food 👌

Went for an early dinner with the family. Really nice atmosphere and service was great and the restaurant wasn't too busy the time we went around 4pm. Food was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. Chicken Beyti was delicious. Staff were very attentive. Child friendly!

EXCELLENT QUALITY FOOD AND SERVICE

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.

Had a takeaway. Excellent food.

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.

Amazing restaurant. Incredible Turkish cuisine & fantastic service. Throughly recommend The Shish Meze. Great value for money with amazing Turkish cuisine & a welcoming atmosphere.

Absolutely gutted ! Hated the food if you are a true fan of turkish food don't go here ! The lamb had a bad smell i cant eat lamb if there is slightest of smell in the meat .. even the chicken tasted like lamb maybe because it was cooked in fat . We left the food literally untouched …. They weren't even kind enough to let us pay half of the bill or something in compensation ..NEVER GOING BACK ! On a split side the ambience was good but food very pricey . Bad experience !

Lovely place. Staff were really nice and food was fantastic

Always lovley food very friendly staff service is grate definitely try it you will go back we do

Great place to eat. Had a birthday meal here and the staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough for us 🙂 The food was also amazing 😍 Will deffo recommend and will be coming back. Thank you for a lovely eve x

The staff made sure we had the best experience! Delicious food and great service, lovely atmosphere 10/10!

Lovely place and nice food. Thanks for everything 😀

The raikia is marvellous so is the service 😁

On the plus side my halloumi sandwich was quite big, probably the biggest I've had, of good quality, and the amount was very generous. On the down side, the price was eye watering (£8.95) and the chef added some horrible sauce from a squeezy bottle, despite my asking many times for a simple traditional Lebanese style sandwich. i.e. salad and halloumi. Less is more. Less on the price, less on the ingredients.

Yum yum yum, we all loved it. Staff were awesome. I'll go back.

Excellent food great ambience and very good service

Plenty of food very nicely spiced. Drinks are pricey but I suppose it's the same everywhere these days

Excellent food, great decor, friendly and talkative staff, made very welcome, worth every penny and a big shout out to the wonderful waitress she was so nice and warming to us on our first visit, wonderful dining experience

One of the best shish restaurants I have been to. Its becoming a work lunch venue of choice!

We've dined in and had take out from Shish and we absolutely love it. The atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly and the food is amazing 😊

Lovely place. Passionate staff and terrific food. Recommend by a local and highly appreciated. Thanks Janet.

This is fast becoming my favourite place to eat, really tasty food, good atmosphere.

I ordered a takeaway to be delivered and was advised that it would be delivered in 30 mins. 2 hours later it eventually arrived. I called 3 times to chase and each time was told it would be with me in the next 10 mins, which was a complete lie! Totally unacceptable!

We've been to this restaurant at least 8 times now and I've lost count of how many takeaways we've had. The food is delicious and the service is second to none. If anyone is looking for a masterclass in hospitality, swing by and check them out. Sensational!

Amazing food, definitely will be back!

Worth every penny 👌🏻 The staff was lovely, the food was divine and the place cosy and clean. Highly recommended ✨️

Brilliant food, friendly staff and great prices. First visited here on a Friday evening when it was busy, although the food took a little time it was understandable as everything is cooked fresh over the grill and it was busy. I’ve since been back for takeaways and it’s our new go-to when we just can’t be bothered to cook. I would highly recommend you try.

Large lamb shawarma was probably enough for two. Came out quickly. Good lamb, veggies, rice & bread.

Absolutely delicious food 5/5 lovely service from the staff also highly recommended 🙏🏻 Had the vegetarian kebab and the halloumi kebab

1st time here so didnt know what to expect. Absolutely blown away. Beautiful food huge portions. Will certainly be back. Waiting staff fantastic and accomodating

Lovely find. My husband and I went recently and were not disappointed. Portions are generous and the food well cooked. The freshly made bread is gorgeous - great atmosphere and staff. Highly recommended! Don't hesitate!

Good for eating in or take away! Good quality food and good atmosphere. Friendly staff and decent service every time, all in all in its very very good! Will go back time and time again!!

We spent a fabulous Saturday afternoon here. Found it by a lucky accident. The food is great and lots of it. The staff could not be more welcoming. My favourite food at its best. Ray it was a joy to meet you...we will be back soon. X

Lovely food. Good value for money.

Lovely food and very friendly service

Fabulous food, great fun local eatery. Makes a wonderful alternative to the staples offered locally. A real local gem.

Fantastic food, welcoming staff and very clean.

Fantastic food and wonderful service. The only thing that let's it down a bit is the drinks are on the pricey side, especially the wine otherwise a great evening.

Super miejsce na posiłek Przemiła obsługa Dania duże i super przygotowane Polecam

We just went for a lovely family meal.Which we really enjoyed really lovely authentic Turkish food. A great wine and beverage selection. It was very busy when we arrived a big group and all tables full But we served quite quickly and had good service form Ray and a nice waitress the 3 kids all enjoyed the food. We are looking to come back soon for a birthday. Definitely work checking out.

Excellent meal. Friendly staff.

Paid £18 for 2 takeaway chicken shish kebabs and a large chips - but had to build the x2 kebabs myself? What's all that about? Very confused as to why they don't fill you up a nice juicy kebab which they then wrap for you? Very odd. Chicken meat - ok. Everything else - poor. Having to make it yourself - annoying.

Beautiful food as for the waiter Ray what star, couldn't do enough for us. Will be back

Incredible staff and incredible food. The staff were very helpful and ran me through most of the main dishes painting a nice picture for each. The starters were great and came very quick. Everything was fresh and nothing tasted stale. They were also nice enough to give free extras like 3 Turkish Delights at the end. Overall great experience and will return again!

Excellent food, good value for your money. I will be going back again.

Very disappointed used for first time not sure if it was a one off But the meat was very fatty and burnt more carrot than meat I couldn’t eat it also a lot of gristle

Another visit to Shish Meze this time for 50th birthday. Once again couldn't be made more welcome by Josh and the team, cannot do enough for you. Food excellent and cooked from fresh, great presentation and quantity. Thanks again Josh and team for Tuesday especially our waitress for the night. (Sorry didn't get your name)!!

Fantastic food and service. Staff were incredibly helpful, and pleasant.

Fantastic Turkish food. Friendly happy restaurant everyone very helpful and food delucious. Will definitrly be back

Lovely food, generous portions, friendly staff. Great value

The best restaurant in Rickmansworth. The food is delicious and the staff are always so friendly. I use this restaurant for delivery and take away. Both are on point. Their delivery time for food is always super fast. Eating in it’s so lovely. The food is more on the pricey side for the area but it is worth it with the portions and quality of the food.

Great food, great service and love the look of other stuff in the display. Home made bread, yummy!
