Shish Restaurant & Lounge Bar (Old Street) Overview
With a name like Shish of course they serve kebabs but this is no late night drunken kebab house, in fact Shish is a rather stylish establishment. Walking by the restaurant you can't help but be impressed by its curved glass frontage and the downstairs bar has been completely refurbished and offers uncompromising style and cool comfort to try their new celebrity approved cocktail list. Diners can also sit at the counter to order the likes of falafel, Mediterranean lamb or Persian chicken at around £6.
Service is fast and friendly making this a fun place for a quick bite to eat. The set price lunch is a choice of two cold mezze then either chicken fattoush/honey and lemon salmon/halloumi shish (V) plus a bottle of stella or a mineral water.
Join their fresh food journey as they travel along the Silk Road bringing you great street food from Italy to China to which refreshingly they bake their own breads, make their own ice cream, prepare their own humus and all of their mezze. Don't confuse a shish with other types of kebab as these guys marinade their locally procured meats for their skewers (Shish!) and every day they simply purchase fresh produce and cook it to order.
If you are short of time they can happily get your food ‘to go’ as they offer the entire menu to take away. They are equally passionate about their drinks and buy kilos of fresh fruit daily to make their fabulous range of fresh juices. Definitely worth a trip to see what the press are raving about.
