Drawing on Turkish heritage and tradition, Shish’s ethos is borne out of a desire to create a hub as the heart of the home, centred around the fire hearth where cooking and families come together and share in the occasion. The spacious restaurant lends itself to large gatherings, smaller group parties and more intimate dining occasions, with the option of private hire. Its slick interior, ambient lighting and booth seating lining the parameter of the restaurant provide the perfect setting for any occasion. At the helm in the kitchen, the passionate team of chefs have created an inspired menu underpinned by true authenticity and rich taste. Highlights include Karisik Izgara – traditional mixed grill platter and loads more...


Shish is a one of the first Dry Bars (No alcohol) in Edinburgh, stocking all the fine wines available, Champagne, Spirits, Popular Cocktails and Beers but all containing zero alcohol substitutes such as Zero percent Rum, Whiskey and Gin.

    Turned up 10 minute early to be told they can’t get people to leave and my table won’t be ready for another hour minimum. Unbelievable Ended up with a KFC on New Year’s Eve and no confirmation about refunding the deposit

    After a disappointing start to the NY celebrations with all of our plans being cancelled, we booked this last minute. Well, this was the highlight of my parties trip. Beautiful setting, prompt service and incredible food! Somewhere we will be recommending our friends and family as a must visit when in Edinburgh.

    Not a great experience. Booked the reservation well in advance for our Christmas dinner. We were seated at table across from the service bar. My seat was literally next to the table of a couple having dinner. It is a “dry” restaurant, no liquor is served. From what the server told us they serve no alcohol. Odd because they provided a drinks menu? The food was ok, I ordered the filet, that was cut into 4 slices, and tough. The best food was the salads, and the fries.

    We had lovely time there. For started we had the mercimek , cigara böreği & the lambs liver. For main We pre ordered the lamb leg and unfortunately we didn’t like it. My husband is Kurdish and is a lamb snob lol. He eats it couple times a week. But the restaurant were amazing. We didn’t ran a day anything but they came over ans asked if everything was ok and we told them we didn’t like the lamb said we are sorry. And they off the there own back offered us a replacement which I think is amazing as the whole leg of lamb is pre ordered. They freshly made a mixed grill for us and we got it for take away as our 2 year old twins were getting irritable and tired. So had to leave. We came all the way from Glasgow We also had 2 mocktails strawberry daiquiri & shish something. They were lovely. I would definitely go back to this restaurant. And the staff are amazing and place is beautiful inside ♥️
