About Shishlique
Shishlique is a Turkish restaurant in London with an open kitchen beside the seating, at 55 Chamberlayne Rd. Diners can watch the grill work while they eat. Lamb and chicken shawarma are prepared fresh each day, and lamb kebab is cut from the spit for wraps or served on a plate with salad, rice and meat. Lamb chops and chicken sheesh are cooked over charcoal. The menu also covers grilled and barbecued dishes and fresh fish. Meals can be eaten in the dining room. A family runs the restaurant as an independent business.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the lamb kebab, whether as a wrap or carved from the spit, calling the meat juicy, tender and not overcooked, with one saying it is among the best they have had in London. Close behind are the generous portions of rice, salad and meat, described as well seasoned with a nice charred taste, and prices several call reasonable or affordable. The open kitchen next to the seating, where the meat is prepared in view, draws repeated praise, as do friendly staff and a mellow, lively atmosphere. Visitors range from regulars popping in alone after exercise or football to groups and a traveller who stumbled in at lunchtime. The criticisms are few. One reviewer wanted more traditional mains and missed lamb ribs and lamb mince pizza. Another gave a single star because a cup of juice leaked over their clothes while eating standing up, and felt a warning was needed. Even so, that reviewer called the food tasty, and a Saturday evening diner noted a busy room with many takeaway orders but no long wait for food.

“Shishlique is a great local Turkish place and has become a regular for me. It's my go-to for comfort food and for refuelling after exercise, especially after Reformer Pilates ;) The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and it's very well priced, particularly by London standards! The staff are incredibly hospitable. Today Ibrahim made me one of his lamb kebab wraps, which are super filling and comforting. Shishlique is the kind of place where I happily pop in on my own for a wrap, and also invited good friends here for lunch, all of whom loved it. Highly recommend!”

“Perfect post footie food on my way home. Quick & affordable for quality. Lively enough for a Monday night but I found a table in the corner to crack on with my audiobook. Will be revisiting!”

“Food is tasty, but be mindful (as no warning comes from the lovely people that cook delicious food for you)... Anything you order will leak on your clothes (talking about a cup of juice!!!) It is a shame, otherwise it wouldhave been a higher score. Big fail, they should not allow food to eat standing, with a warning, common logic and sense.”
