London City Airport Chronicle - April 2006

A sit down kebab restaurant?  I hear you cry.  Yes - and a very trendy one at that.  It was inspired by Silk Road, which stretches from China through to Rome.  This route was an exchange of foods, cultures and beliefs.  Don’t limit yourself by booking a table; show some spontaneity.  It’s much better to collect a pager upon arrival and sample the delicious cocktails in the lounge bar until your table is ready.

The food at Shish is an eclectic mix and you are encouraged to sample a variety of mezze, skewers of lightly marinated meats, fish, chicken and vegetables, steamed rice, couscous and breads.  The wide choice of kebab style dishes can be served in pitta or with an accompaniment of your choice.  Munch away within a relaxed, informal but bustling atmosphere.  Eat as fast or as slowly as you want and savour the distinct character of Shish.
