Our Guestbook
“ Having very recently moved to Horsham, we were brought here by our lovely new neighbours and had the best of nights. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, but what really topped it for us was the fantastic service and inviting family atmosphere from the owners and their staff. We couldn't fault the food in any way. It was generous in portion size and great in quality. Sally & Keith ”
“ When we fancy Turkish, we use this place often. Takeaway food is always great but the food tastes better (as with most places) when you dine in. Beautifully presented and a touch a theatricality with certain dishes. The Baklava I'm told is homemade and tastes absolutely sublime - take it from me, I'm a connoisseur! (well at least I'd like to think I am, ha). It's a small place but very, very well presented inside. Lovely ambience and the staff are all incredibly friendly as is the owner - it's a family owned business. Highly recommended. ”
“ My family and I recently visited The Shish for Sunday dinner, and we were absolutely impressed. The food was authentic and delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service we received from Stewardess Sahar. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made our dining experience unforgettable. If I could, I would give her seven stars! ”
“ First visit this evening. Had the mixed kebab this evening. Have to say the meat was really good, even the lamb was pretty tender which is often not the way. I’d like to see a bigger/thicker piece of bread with it and some better quality chips - but I will be back for a second visit. Oh I nearly forgot - red cabbage, food of champions, really nice to see this. Edit in July ‘25 - went back for a sit down last Friday with three friends. Food was excellent, staff friendly and prices not too bad, though 12.5% service automatically added. Avoid the turnip juice, stick to Efes lager. ”
