The kebabs are delicious. Chicken was tender with real BBQ taste. Sea Bream was also tasty and well looked. Baklava was odd, though and music was a bit loud to talk comfortably while eating. DJ played a few decent tracks but much was lazy, kids party rubbish, rather than anything most adults would like ! Somewhat ruined the vibe. Staff were lovely and very helpful though.

We always have the lamb shank or the lamb chops so we have never tried anything else. The chef knows exactly how to cook lamb. I must say it’s fantastic. That’s why we keep coming back to Dem Shish.

The food was very nice however the service was not good. The waitrise thought the rice was cooked in butter and all meat marinaded in double cream Another waitress clarified this for us as I am dairy free. The wait time for food, drinks and bill was too long. We found it very loud at times with music and many happy birthday songs... all staff broke into happy birthday song 6 times. We were there for about 90 mins.

It’s always a pleasurable experience eating at Dem Shish, we especially enjoy the music by Paul Watson on a Wednesday. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and the food is always great
