    Great evening alll round , a really great restaurant clean and with great atmosphere . The food was outstanding , we ordered grilled Haloumi & Hummus starters served with olives & breads and then Fillet Mignon steaks with Cajun chips & grilled vegetables with a choice of sauces .. the steak was cooked to perfection , tasted so good . A busy restaurant and some of the other dishes coming out to surrounding tables also looked amazing and mouth watering . The service was first class from the staff , polite , pleasant & attentive. Well done to all , our first time at Shish but it will not be our last . Also for the quality of food served very reasonable regards to price for the meal .
