Time Out - 13 – 20 August 2003

The second Old Street branch of Shish, the smart kebab place, takes inspiration from all over, with key influences being Chinese, Afghan and Mediterranean cooking. Each kebab comes with a choice of couscous, rice, chips, salad or pickled vegetables. Date ice-cream rounds off the meal perfectly. Downstairs, there’s a soothingly light bar with a scaled-down menu and extensive cocktail list.
