What a pleasure.<br><br>Great service, great food. Their chilli sauce is next level, salad delicious, as are the grilled options. I had a word with the chef and front of house and you can tell their deep passion for great culinary cuisine. Will hopefully be back.

We went to Dem shish for a Hen party of 16 this saturday. The food was amazing, the cocktails were fantastic and all the staff were so nice and had a joke and a chat with us, there was also a dj playing good music. Staff were also happy to take a group photo for us. Everyone had such a great time. We found the prices were really good for the high quality of the dishes. I will definitely be going again and would recommend to anyone<br><br>If you let them know you are celebrating something you also get cake, sparklers and singing from the staff which was an added bonus for the end of our meal

Good food and service. It was a bit noisy with live music, but it's Friday night.<br>If it's your birthday, the restaurant sings happy birthday to you and staff arrive with a cake and sparklers.

Improved vastly throughout the years. With the weekday 20% discount, it's now very good. The charcoal grilled lamb chops are highly recommended. They were so good I had to order another portion!

I visited this place for dinner alone while on business in Eastbourne it was one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time. Beautiful food so delicious, lovely staff and atmosphere. Don't miss out on this absolute gem.

The food was cooked with good quality ingredients.<br>However, the service was a let down.<br><br>There are quite a team of waiting staff, all equipped with radio etc. but we had to call over a waiter to order some drinks after sitting there for 15 minutes.<br><br>Some of the tables are quite close. So close that you literally have to squeeze through. A waiting staff chose to squeeze through two tables to get some wine glasses from the bar (thighs touching both tables that kind of close) instead of getting them from the other side where there were no dining tables.... Not sure why this member of staff had to do that to disrupt both tables...<br><br>There are many more examples like this with almost all members of staff that served us.<br><br>It was quite a strange experience where the restaurant gave an look of a "posh" but the services quality is no where near that look.

Came here on a date and the customer service was fantastic I wasn’t sure what cocktail to try so I asked the waiter to ask the the bartender to pick a cocktail of there choice and I was sent over a delicious espresso martini and then food came out very fast and it was fresh of the grill 10/10 would recommend to anyone who what’s a good meal and a fair price

Huge portions so don't overdo starters with bread.<br>Enjoyed the cocktails. Garlic mushrooms like nowwhere else i have been. YUM!<br>However 1 or 2 areas. The seats had not been cleaned from previous evening (we were 1230 lunch sitting) crumbs etc all over. Ladies loos no paper and only 1 cubicle could be used as toilet seats loose.

Had a meal with a few friends the other evening. The atmosphere was nice although at times was very loud due to birthday parties but this is their vibe and they are known for this so expect it to get a bit fun and rowdy. Live dj playing throughout the evening. Again this is known for it so be aware not quiet. The food was good but I expected it to be better from a proper Turkish restaurant. Some of the dishes were very basic and I wanted a little bit more wow for the prices. Side dishes were pretty plain. Meats were good but again I've had similar if not better from a good Turkish take out. If you want a fun night out with friends and just want to eat then and not to worried about the quality of the food then this is a good place to hit. Staff were really, really nice and friendly and could find no fault with anything apart from wishing the food was a bit better.

πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€I have just finished my dinner in this Resturant, I have to say the food was absolutely delicious me and my friend chose a mixed kebab. The chicken was juicy and tender as was the lamb and everything else on the plate was fresh crispy even the rice was good as well.<br>πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€I’ll be sure to come here with friends and family without a doubt I also like the way they cook the food because it’s done on a barbecue not a gas barbecue it’s fantastic. I also complimented the chefs. The staff was friendly. Outstanding service from Victoria and Amber, and Sidad also Tory is a nice lady<br>🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠🀠<br>THANKYOU a nice chatty friendly bunch.

It was very noisy with live music which was too loud service was a bit slow. We'd not tried this food before so I'm sure it was OK but not to our taste. Too much yoghurt and not enough salad

Food is absolutely amazing, you will not be disappointed. As for the service, polite staff, but as soon as you put your fork down they are taking your plate away and trying to serve your next course, there was 2 of us and I had finished my starter but my colleague hadn’t and my plate was gone and my main was on its way, when I asked them to hold fire they put our mains under a hot lamp until we were ready.<br>From starter to bill was 1hour and 10mins, far too quick and could understand if fully booked but restaurant was half empty, such a shame cos the food was out of this world and would return just because the food was amazing.

I suppose I went to Dem Shish with an open mind. This was my first visit but I had heard good things about it and my partner was keen. We entered and were placed on a table that felt rather cramped and too close to other diners. We asked to have a more spacious table and were put in a corner away from other diners. Much better! A lady nearby smiled at me and told me she and her husband had been put on the same table and they had also asked to be moved.<br>We ordered our mains and olives to nibble while we waited. Two plates of the most delicious kebabs with rice and salad arrived and we enjoyed them enormously.<br>The entertainment was the resident singer who also played the saxophone. He played and sang a string of romantic songs. This was the icing on the cake for me. Excellent food and wonderful entertainment!
