Quick info
About Shish Meze
Shish Meze is a Turkish restaurant at 2 Berther Rd in Hornchurch, with a menu built around grilled meats and cold mezze. Mixed kebab is served with salad, and sharing platters let a table order a spread of grilled meats together. A full bar runs alongside the kitchen, and the dining room carries traditional art. The evening brings a live singer, and at the end of the meal the waiter performs magic card tricks at the table. Reservations are required. A private dining room is available for groups.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the sharing platter, with grilled lamb shish, chicken shish, lamb chops, Adana and ribs alongside a spread of cold mezze such as hummus, yoghurt and cucumber, and aubergine dips. Close behind is the service, described as warm, attentive and accommodating, with one server who adjusted a dish for food intolerances and entertained a table with card tricks, which two birthday parties singled out. Also mentioned are garlic prawns, sea bass and a mixed kebab at lunch, plus drinks that are beautifully made. Several describe family and birthday celebrations, a live singer, and a relaxed, lively atmosphere. One notes generous portions for the price, and another was seated straight away on walking in. No recurring complaints appear. One group arrived near closing time and said the team stayed patient and never rushed them.

“My family and I had a great time dining here. We were served by Sherry and he was extremely attentive, checking to see if everything with the food was okay and made us feel very welcome and he was very careful with modifying my food as I do have a few intolerances which I appreciated very much. He also did magic card tricks at the end which was very entertaining. The food was amazing, we ordered a sharing platter and it was very filling. We would definitely come back again.”
