The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East of England

Great from start to finish. The food is amazing! We shared the hot mezze to start, which was spot on (and huge). Then a mixed grill for me and a lamb stew for my other half - the meat was so tender and really well seasoned. Totally random but the salad with it was fantastic! Portion sizes are very healthy - we were both defeated (again, rarely happens). Service was attentive and friendly. All in all, we had a great meal and will definitely come back :)

Shishbourne is our local we go atleast once a month. As a couple and with friends The staff the decor the food are all excellent and to top it all there is live singer most Friday and Saturday nights . We will definitely be going back . Thankyou again for a lovely evening Sue x

We went here on a Saturday afternoon, pretty quiet and staff nowhere to be seen. Eventually found someone and informed us we need to sit and someone will take our orders We only wanted a coffee. We are both dairy free and ordered with soya milk. Coffee was nice I was astounded when I received the bill that we were each charged. 70p extra for soya milk. I've been to hundreds of cafes and never been charged this much I will not go again

This place is utterly horrible. This stupid manager is horrible, mean, and greedy for money. The way you replied to my sister and other people. (In mean sarcastic ways looks like you act like this right in front of your customers. The food was very salty, soggy and burnt. To the manager: Have manners. Treat you customers in a fair kind way. Watch videos on YouTube or take courses on how to treat your customers. My nieces and children went home hungry and I work so I couldn't make anything for them to eat. You also lighted with me in front of my children and nieces, how dare you.

Had a mixed Shish the chicken was dry and lamb was just lumps of fat. Very expensive for what you get. Although the staff were very good. This was a very large family event and all 8 tables were charged extortionate service fee and it total that came to £280 an absolute joke when we only had 2 servers. It took them over an hour for us to all pay as there was items on the bills that we didn’t get and unfortunately we decided just to pay and get out. But most certainly will not be returning.

We went here on the recommendation of our 14 year old daughter! She wanted to go and told us about it. I went on line and got a table booked for the 3 of us, when we arrived we were presently greeted from members of staff. I must say from when we arrived the service was first class! The staff are so welcoming professional and polite very helpful indeed. The food was so nice from starter main and desert, so so tasty full of flavour, we didn’t have to wait long for any of our courses, very well presented. This is my number 1 Resturant, I will highly recommend Erman’s kitchen We will be back with friends and family, I only write a review if I think it’s worth it snd this Resturant most certainly is so a big thank you to the staff, bar staff, and kitchen staff . Your all fantastic.

This place needs to be shut down, terrible food, bad service and shocking dirty forks. Discussing will avoid at all cost.

Wonderful experience, with wonderful service and wonderful food. Hannah, our server, was very helpful and friendly in explaining things and sorting our food. We had the £15 Tapas trays, with £5 Sangria, which was amazing value. The food is excellent, the particular highlight was the Patatas Bravas, which we ended up ordering more of. Would absolutely recommend, and will be coming back.

We came here for a meal on a Saturday evening. The food was delicious- we had lamb kofta and rice with the homemade chilli sauce (extremely tasty) and garlic mayo. However, the restaurant felt like it lacked an atmosphere- we were the only people inside (the tables outside were occupied), and we felt like it could do with feeling more like a restaurant than a cafe inside. One of the waitresses in particular was very friendly and overall we had a nice meal and it was extremely good value!!

Went to Istanbul got there and saw this guy smashing his meat stick over the lamb donner and proceeded to then ask me to wait until the final climax before serving my food

For quality coffee (and baklava) and friendly service, this newish café can't be beaten. The meals are good (and freshly prepared, with admirable speed), if basic - still a work in progress, but very promising and well worth a visit for the superb coffee!

Weekend bit too pricey but weekdays is amazing, happy hour was the best. And set menu food was delicious. Definitely visiting from Mon to Fri is well worth the 💰

The couscous was sticky and had a rotten smell. The chicken wings still had fluff on them, it was not removed properly...Never order again

A restaurant beyond imagination
