   I have a gluten allergy which I included in the additional information on my booking. That was a waste of time. Three times the waitress went to take our order and each time I asked what was gluten free and each time she said she would ask the kitchen. Fourth time lucky. We were also sat by the kitchen and there was barely enough room to get the serving trolley through between the tables. It also seemed as if we were being rushed so that the table could become free for the next reservation.

   It was my first time in Dem Shish, but definitely not the last one. The food was amazing! One of the best Turkish meals I've ever had. The service had some issues, and it was very cold in the restaurant, but the food is definitely worth coming back for.

   We had a great night at Dem Shish. Food and atmosphere was great. The only slight negative was the noise, sometimes it was hard to hear each other as we were sat under a speaker. Staff were great and will definitely be going back.

   We ordered the bottomless cocktail and lunch menu. Such good value, never waited very long for drinks and the food was amazing. The staff are so friendly and we had a lovely time. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

   The venue was absolutely freezing inside , most customers including us had a keep our costs on for the entire time, even whilst eating . There was a tiny builders style heater plugged in on the floor , but nowhere near sufficient to heat the entire restaurant. We were a party if of 4 and noted the flat breads that came to the table with dips wasn't enough for 4 people ! ( More than 2 tiny slices would be better ) . Although it was very tasty. The meals themselves were of good quality , but at these prices they need to be elevated to next level . The children's menu dish of chicken Kofta again was very nice , but it was pretty much the same portion size as the 3 other adult meals . Which left me very annoyed as the kids meal was half the price. This venue has the potential to be so much better , it left us Very underwhelmed to the point where we won't be returning. One last point which won't effect everyone but did for us , was no step free access for a wheelchair user . We had to leave ours in the car and navigate the steep step and incredibly slippery surface by foot.
