" tried Shish for lunch and was a tad disappointed with my meal. The chicken was a bit dry, standard for many Mediterranean spots, though the flavor was good. The atmosphere is busy which I liked, but the service was lacking, as I felt forgotten during a busy rush. Still, I might give it another try based on their reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shish feels like a little slice of the Middle East! My family and I stopped by and loved everything. The lamb kebabs were juicy and flavorful, and the hummus was the best I've had. The prices are reasonable, and the staff were polite and understanding. Looking forward to trying the baklava next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Shish, especially for their divine lamb shawarma! The flavors were on point, and I loved their fresh salads. The only downside was a bit of a wait for our meals, likely due to the busy crowd. But the food makes it worth it, and I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing find! I tried their trio kebab platter, and every bite was fantastic. The meat was tender, and the sides were fresh and zesty. Additionally, the space has a warm and welcoming feel, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. I also appreciated the variety in their menu catered to different preferences. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a spontaneous lunch at Shish today! Had the falafel burger, which was tasty, although heavy on the salt. The atmosphere is chic and intimate, and the staff was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed. For the price, I expected a tad more in terms of portion size, but overall a pleasant experience.

" 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*)
