" I was quite excited to try Shish due to its reputation and the wonderful reviews. However, I must say my experience had its ups and downs. The food was undeniably delicious, with the falafel being crispy and well-seasoned. However, the service was a bit lacking; I had to wait quite some time to get my order taken due to being understaffed. If they could improve on that, this place would be perfect. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shish last weekend, and my experience was delightful! The ambiance is incredible, and you can really feel the authentic Middle Eastern vibe as soon as you walk in. I ordered the falafel wrap, and it was one of the best I've had! The portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming. The service was friendly, and my server made excellent recommendations. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shish has found a loyal customer in me! The energy of the place really sets the stage for a great meal. The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tasted super fresh. My friends ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and I must say, it was a game-changer. The only downside was that it got busy, and the service slowed a bit. But the food made up for that. I can’t wait to go again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot for Mediterranean food! I dropped in last weekend with a few friends. The food was delicious although a bit on the pricier side compared to other places. My dish was excellently portioned and tasted fresh. The service was okay, with a wait but very polite staff overall. Definitely coming back to explore their dessert options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shish became one of my favorite restaurants after just one visit! The flavors are spot on, the ambiance is perfectly cozy, and the staff truly care about your experience. I had the lamb burger, which was both unique and tasty. I can’t wait to go back and try everything else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shish is a hidden gem! I came here for lunch, and certainly got my money's worth. The falafel was crispy and bursting with flavor, accompanied by a light salad that complemented the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff were attentive, though they seemed a bit rushed. I would recommend increasing their staff during peak hours to enhance the dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very impressed with my first visit to Shish! The dishes were flavorful and vibrant, especially the mezze spread! The ambiance was lively, making it a fun place to dine. The only drawback was the seating—it felt packed during peak hours. But overall, I can say it was a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)
