Shish - Southend-on-Sea

Poor service on entrance, noticed the smell of B.O coming from the waiter. Also menu was incompetent. Drinks were insufficient. Chips were Chinese chips and rice was not Turkish. Over all I would not come back here still having flash backs of that smelly waiter. Omfg, defo doesn’t deserve the amount of stars it’s got!

It's now 2 hours and 20 minutes since I placed my order and the order is now 1 hour over the estimated delivery time. I'd give this zero stars of I could. I have phoned Shish twice in the last 40 mins only to be told the order is on its way and the restaurant can't find out where the driver is. Absolutely shocking service, especially as this is the first time we've braved it and ordered from Shish since the pandemic lockdown. Previous to that we ordered monthly from them. They are now loosing my custom forever. If they can't cope with the amount of takeaway orders on mid week evening like tonight, they shouldn't be operating. I'm all for supporting our local restaurants, but the service this time is atrocious. Such a shame as loved the food previously and had always planned to visit the restaurant in person one day for a meal.

Restaurant was empty when arrived. Had to wait a long time for food. One of Party had they mail meal after all of ate of what we could eat). Food was inedible, rice was hard. Food came with sauce which was stated on menu. Fish was so dry couldn’t eat it. Would not return at all. The prices are so expensive. Beware!

Just had an evening meal here and this was the best Turkish meal I have had. Couldn’t make up my mind what to have as I like it all so I ordered the mixed grill, all meats were so tender and really well cooked over charcoal, I state well cooked and not rushed and burnt over charcoal. Portions were really good with a fresh salad and your choice of rice. Good friendly service, expect to wait a little because everything is prepared and cooked fresh so well worth the wait but hey have some lovely Humus and Taramasalata with some warm bread while you wait. Can’t praise this chef and fresh food enough .... thanks for a lovely meal

It was evident that the food was freshly cooked and it arrived hot and in well sealed containers. We order a variety of meat and fish selections which were eaten by us all. There was a choice of bulgar wheat or rice with most of the dishes, and a salad. The salad I think had too much of a watery dressing which was a shame as this overpowered the content of the crisp ingredients. Apart from that, this takeaway was extremely good.
