Fantastic meal. Service was excellent, and the chef even played his Baglama. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service and the food was amazing. The restaurant was very busy and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Our starter was lovely, we had the cold maze sharing platter, the bread was amazing. Our main meals were very good too. One of the best Turkish restaurants we’ve been to. Would highly recommend

Disappointed Humous was disappointing, they gave us a tortilla cold and cut up to dip...no pitta, not warm...the worst I've ever had anywhere. The meal was supposed to be chicken thigh and spicy, they gave a chicken breast butterfly, by this time I was starving and just ate it. Been before and not had issues, this time it was awful

From the moment one steps through the threshold of The Sheesh, an intricate dance of sensory delight begins, enveloping patrons in a tapestry of aromatic spices and tantalizing flavors. The ambiance, a seamless fusion of traditional Turkish aesthetics and modern elegance, sets the stage for an unparalleled dining experience. The warm hues of amber and crimson hues intermingle with ornate patterns adorning the walls, exuding an air of refined authenticity.Now, onto the pièce de résistance—the gastronomic offerings. The culinary symphony curated by The Sheesh is an ode to the rich and diverse tapestry of Turkish cuisine. The succulent kebabs, each morsel tender and bursting with a harmonious blend of spices, leave an indelible impression on the palate. The meze platter, an opulent array of vibrant flavors and textures, showcases the culinary prowess of the kitchen, featuring classics like hummus, dolma, and baba ganoush, each more exquisite than the last.Yet, amidst this culinary grandeur, the true gems of The Sheesh reveal themselves in the form of two remarkable waitresses. These two paragons of hospitality effortlessly elevate the dining experience to an ethereal realm. Their impeccable attention to detail, gracious demeanor, and genuine warmth infuse a personal touch, transforming a mere meal into a cherished memory. Whether deftly navigating the menu to cater to diverse palates or offering insightful recommendations, their professionalism is matched only by their innate ability to make patrons feel welcomed and valued.In summary, The Sheesh stands as a bastion of Turkish gastronomy, a veritable haven where flavors transport one to the bustling bazaars of Istanbul. The dedication to culinary excellence paired with the unparalleled service rendered by the exemplary waitresses, cements The Sheesh as a quintessential destination for connoisseurs seeking an authentic and memorable Turkish dining experience.

Excellent food standard and efficient service from the staff. Been to a lot of places and had a fair bit of seafood but it’s great that the best salmon is just around the corner on St Helens!!

Went without booking on Tuesday 24th & although quite full we were given a table. When we go we usually have a shared starter followed by the sea bass. However we opted for the special offer of a mixed cold mezze & enjoyed the flavours although I didn’t like the one with chicken in it. We didn’t wait long for the main course of chicken, lamb & Adana kebab, lamb chop & rib & chicken wings/thighs served with a Turkish salad & rice. Again I wasn’t keen on the chicken wing/thigh & the lamb rib was rather fatty (fine if you like fat). The rest of the meat served was lovely. Main issue for me was the rice (cold) & salad which didn’t taste as nice as I remember. Our server was lovely & made us feel welcome & both she & the other server managed to see to everyone’s needs despite being unusually busy for a Tuesday We also had an Efes & double Bacardi & diet cola, a bottle of the Turkish red wine followed by Turkish coffee

Always excellent food. Highly recommend the sharing starters and platter. Gorgeous warm bread and dips. Meat is lovely, the lamb is so soft and tasty. The service is excellent, friendly and warm without being intrusive. We love it here and will return again and again. Thank you for a fabulous meal.
