Shish used to be a Middle Eastern restaurant on [[Locale Old Street|Old Street]] in [[Locale Hoxton|Hoxton]], part of a small chain. It [http://twitter.com/tiredoflondon/status/2423224754 closed down] in mid-2009. As of late 2009, [http://twitter.com/kristainlondon/status/6079357538 word is] that the new occupant of the space will be another branch of [[Busaba Eathai, WC1E 7DF|Busaba]]. The information below is retained for people who want to know what it was like as Shish. <div class="old_info"> Apparently this is one of a 3-restaurant chain (the others being in Bayswater and Willesden Green). The restaurant part is on the ground floor, and has glass-and-wood type decor. There's a long dining bar with tall stools, and plenty of tables, which are reasonably well-spaced for a London restaurant. Downstairs has a cocktail bar with leather armchairs; I think they have DJs down there some evenings. The food is good and reasonably priced. There's a [http://www.shish.com/food/menus.htm sample menu] on the website. Plenty of veggie options, and some vegan options; although more in the mezze than the shish kebabs or other main course dishes. Pete felt that his halloumi and veg kebab could have had a few more pieces of halloumi, but I was very happy with my roast veg kebab. The mezze are probably a bit more interesting than the kebabs, but that's a common problem with this sort of restaurant (at least if you're veggie/vegan). I think that you'd be allowed to just eat mezze if you wanted, but am not sure. Comment added by [[Bob]]: Free wifi. Menu not that cheap if you deviate from the meal deals. Staff friendly. Do takeaway. Can sit at a counter and watch chefs. Water on tap at counter. Has a special Christmas menu; three courses for £19.95.
