Shishawi - City of London,Westminster

The first Arab restaurant visited in london. eating was okay, but not as good as in the near east. service was poor. they served sheesha, but not great. there are many places for sheesha in this stretch. the beggars were annoyed, as they returned again and again, while they often turn away.

The food is very good apart from the salads and humus. The ambience is great and the service is also very good. The fish tank which is present in the premises looks appealing. It is a fun place to hang out which is not too expensive. It provides you with a good dining experience and the quantity of the food is also very good. Overall It was a good experience.

I had the worst experience at this place. The place offers middle-eastern food, which is not at all authentic. They have seemed to mix middle-eastern food with a sports bar feel kind of an ambiance. Sports playing on the screen ruins the entire atmosphere of the place. After complaining to the staff, I was talked back at and was also abused. A terrible experience. Never going back.

The place was extremely disappointing and such an unpleasant meal. To begin with, the decor is old and mundane. The atmosphere seemed dead despite being a saturday night. Coming to food, every dish was tasteless and dry.They refuse to serve tap water and is really repulsive with their arguments over everything. Would not recommend, such a rip off!

The restaurant is certainly good but there are better. To begin with, the decor is depressing and gaudy. The service is displeasing. Staff is unfriendly and inclined towards arab speaking clients. On the upsides, the food is good , their meze platter and mixed grills are pretty decent. The opening and closing time are added bonus !
