  “Incredible takeaway from here. Initially the order was wrong (these things happen, not to worry), but the staff sorted it out quickly and were absolutely lovely. They even gave me free baklava and halloumi, which was such a kind touch. The bread was gorgeous and the chocolate cake was unreal! I had such a lovely meal and plenty of leftovers for the next few days. Will definitely be coming back🥰”

  “This is a very nice venue with lovely decor. The staff are very friendly, responsive and provide a top quality service. We opted for the Dem Shish Special platter with an extra order of chicken wings and mocktails. The huge serving of food arrived quickly and tasted amazing. Rich flavours, a mix of tenderly cooked meats, well presented with chips and salad. More than enough for a family of four. Staff were always on hand to check everything is fine. The atmosphere is busy and vibrant, with staff coming out to celebrate birthday guests, by singing and bringing cake and sparklers. It's great value for money, considering the quality and quantity of food you receive. We would definitely recommend to book ahead if you plan on going on a Friday or weekend evening, as it will most likely be packed. We'll definitely be visiting again to enjoy the company of their lovely staff and try out more of their delicious food.”

  “The food here and atmosphere is amazing. Enjoyed an anniversary dinner and the meal was next level. The staff too were amazing. They also have belly dancers on some nights. Limited Parking available on site, if full, there was free (evening) on street. Generally okay for spaces Highly recommended”

  “I decided to treat my fiance to dinner here as it was recommended to us as an alternative to Efes which we love. We went on a Thursday as we wanted to avoid it being too busy. The food was delicious really tasty and it came out in good time. Staff were super professional. I gave it 4 stars as we had to ask for things I consider to be essentials such as tissue, salt and pepper and we wernt given any dips! These things should be provided with any meal in my opinion. Also a simple happy birthday on a dessert request apparently isn't something this restarant does which is fair enough I just wish they had told me days before when I made the booking. Overall food was great and I would return on a weekend to get the full experience of the atmosphere. Ps The Stawberry Daquiri was exceptional.”

  “I really can't fault the night at all. I was a bit wary about going here because I had not had Turkish food before, but we were there celebrating a birthday and this was the choice of the birthday girl. The waitress was excellent she took the time to explain what the meals were that I asked about. I decided to have one she said was one of her favourites. I wasn't disappointed. They had a live singer there that my niece was singing along to. I said to the waiter that she was singing along and it was a shame she couldn't join in. A few minutes later the singer came over to ask my niece if she would like to duet with her. My niece is only 8 and loves singing. I wish I knew the ladies name that was the singer because see was so good with her and took care of her as she went shy. Made her night though. The staff brought out the birthday cake and sang and clapped and other customers joined in. One of our best nights out ever great company although one person in particular was surely missed, food service and atmosphere. Will definitely be going back and can't recommend it high enough.”

  “Definitely an experience to remember!! Went to Dem Shish on a Saturday evening for dinner and we were greeted with a belly dancer performing for the whole restaurant which was some great starting entertainment for the evening. The atmosphere inside was fun, busy and full of life. The food was also really good from the starters to the main and dessert. Definitely recommend if your passing Crawley or live in Crawley.”
