  “Huge and impressive inside even if it looks tired. The food was basic but did a job, not amazing but fine. Not a place I’d go back to but it’s ok for lunch. But pricier than I’d expect.”

  “I came into as shop to purchase pomegranate juice, and the girl there recommended that I should eat in the restaurant next door "Shishawi". I came in and was greeted by the very friendly staff and given a seat. There is an incredible selection of vegetarian foods and very reasonably priced too. My order of lentil soup, grilled haloumi, falafel and chips arrived promptly. Im not sure if I can eat it all, but I'm going to give it a red hot crack. This food is amazing.”

  “Horrible experience, not somewhere to go with your family. Bunch of weirdoes in there. Ordered a lamb shank and found something in it that does not look like a bone. And when I brought it forward they said it’s a bone. Horrible customer service. Expensive for the quality as well.”

  “It’s my first time here. We ordered sahlep, cheese kunafa, um Ali, tea with mint and Arabic coffee. Tea and coffee were fine but the dessert wasn’t good at all. Um Ali was dry, too oily and overcooked with very light sugar. Kunafa was too sweet to a degree that you can’t taste the cheese which was also overcooked. And lastly the sehlep wasn’t better, light sugar with honey on the top which has changed its actual taste. But to be fair, the place looks nice with good atmosphere.”

  “Ordered Egyptian Knafeh based on the Uber menu photo but received bite-sized balls that looked more like baklava than traditional Knafeh. The manager of the Restorant insisted this was the correct item, despite it looking completely different from what was advertised. If you’re serving Knafeh bites, please label them as such and update the photos to avoid misleading customers.”

  “Excellent food and great flavours at Shishawi on Edgware Road. We tried the lamb kabsa, chicken shawarma wrap, chicken wings, and roast chicken — everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The lamb kabsa was especially tender and aromatic, and the shawarma wrap was packed with flavour. Portions were generous and the overall experience was very satisfying. Definitely a solid spot for authentic, comforting Middle Eastern food in London.”

  “I love this place so much I’ve come here with my best friend and husband literally 3 nights in a row. Amazing sheesha yes, but the food is what’s freaking amazing. We’ve tried the hummus, chicken shawarma platters, chicken nuggets, karak, and a variety of tea. Highly rec all of these esp their karak tea. The staff is absolutely amazing and make people feel so comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for a great, chill night. Also the heaters during the cold weather? Brilliant.”

  “Loved everything about Shishawi! The place looks amazing; the décor, chairs, and even the ceiling details are so well done. We were a big group and went for two of their platters (each serves about seven people), and that was spot on! We had so much food left we all left with takeaway boxes. The service was super friendly and surprisingly fast considering our group size. The staff were really patient and even offered us complimentary tea and sweets at the end of the night. We didn’t have a reservation but still got seated easily. The food was delicious, the washrooms were clean, and there’s plenty of seating both inside and outside. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for great food and warm service on Edgware Road.”
