The starters arrived promptly, and the main course was exceptional. The kids enjoyed beautifully presented ice cream for dessert. I couldn't find any faults with this restaurant, which is why I felt compelled to write a review. Located on Sidcup High Street, I highly recommend this place for birthdays, anniversaries, parties, or simply for a relaxing evening after a stressful week.

He invited us to sit down and explained that he was handling everything himself that evening, as his front of house staff was unfortunately unwell. He apologized for any potential delays, but honestly, he didn’t need to. Each dish was prepared and served in a timely manner, just as you would expect. We were promptly provided with water and glasses, along with a wine list and menus. The dinner menu offers a nice variety of both Mediterranean and classic dishes, including steak, fish, and vegetarian moussaka. The bar and wine selection may not be extensive, but there is enough to cater to various tastes at reasonable prices. We chose a lovely bottle of pinot grigio blush to complement our meal. For starters, we enjoyed salt and pepper squid and grilled halloumi with sausage; both were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. For the main course, I had the Seafood spaghetti, which was outstanding, loaded with prawns, clams, and mussels in a spicy homemade tomato sauce—definitely a dish I highly recommend. My partner opted for the lamb shish, which looked fantastic and was cooked exactly right, bursting with flavor and a nice char. The sides were tasty, and the presentation was excellent, though he did experience some plate envy after tasting my dish, thanks to that amazing sauce. After finishing our meal, we were asked if we would like a dessert recommendation. I would have loved to try one, but we were both quite full! I’ll definitely make sure to save room for dessert next time. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and welcoming, with an open and comfortable dining area. It was clear that the seating can be arranged for larger groups when needed. The music was enjoyable and at a perfect volume for conversation. We had the pleasure of chatting with Saffa afterward and learned that Șenay has been open for quite some time, something we wish we had discovered sooner. Saffa’s extensive experience and genuine love for food are evident; he takes great pride in creating delicious homemade dishes with a varied and balanced menu. His enthusiasm shines through in conversation, making it a true delight to interact with him. We also noticed that Şenay serves lunch from 12 to 5 PM, offering a 2 or 3-course set menu. Saffa encouraged us to try their Sunday roast, and given the quality of our meal and their willingness to accommodate dietary needs, we made a reservation on the spot. We had a wonderful experience and a lovely date night at Șenay, and we thank Saffa for his warm welcome, hospitality, conversation, and, of course, his delicious food! We highly recommend Șenay for delectable dishes at a very reasonable price. I’m excited to share another review after our Sunday roast—stay tuned! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Dietary restrictions: Saffa was more than willing to discuss dietary requirements and make necessary accommodations. His personal experience with family members who have complex allergies has clearly made him more sensitive to the needs of allergy sufferers. I was so impressed with his thoughtfulness that I have booked to bring my whole family for Sunday roast in a few weeks, including my daughter, who has multiple allergies and often struggles to find safe dining options.
