Dem Shish

A nice cozy restaurant serving Turkish food. Brought my wife here on a date night while on holiday in Eastbourne. It was a quaint, interesting ambiance. Had a relaxed vibe. Their Negroni was one of the Best we've had. The Blue Ocean was okay. Our starters - calamari, which was fresh, tender (not rubbery) and fried in a light batter; aubergine cold mezze - creamy and light served alongside a lovely chili sauce and Turkish bread (like a crispy naan). Our shared Main: lamb shank - tender, flavourful, and simply seasoned to highlight the quality of the meat. Pricing - reasonable Overall, we had an enjoyable evening.

Enjoyed a wonderful Tuesday night at Dem Shish with the awesome Luch Stefano providing musical atmosphere. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the service was fast. Highly recommend going on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday for 20% off the entire bill. Just don't forget to add a tip, as there is no service charge added at the end!

We came here on a Monday night and had a great time. This restaurant is always full which is why we were tempted to try. The portion sizes are massive and the food was quite good! The only negatives I can think of are related to making a British taste instead of authentic Turkish flavours: some of the sauces are too sweet as typical in takeaways, and the samosas and breaded calamari are a bit random in the mezze. These are minor points though. Honestly, I think this is the only respectable restaurant in all of Crawley.

I had dinner here last night as a group of three. The place was very lively with a DJ and lovely atmosphere, however they are not disabled friendly so we had to sit outside with my service dog. The food came promptly and we had their special which was a mixed grill for three. It was fantastic and more than enough for the three of us.

Me and my boyfriend took my nan to this restaurant for our grandads 2 year death anniversary (celebrating his life). We booked a table and unfortunately it wasn’t ready just yet, this didn’t bother us at all really as it worked in our favour as my boyfriend was still trying to park the car. A gentleman (I’m assuming the manager) couldn’t do enough for us, he got us a little table for the mean time, got our drinks order and took off a drink from the tab. The food came out so quickly and the staff was so friendly. We had a nice meal and great music too (even nan was bopping along). Definitely recommend.

It was a Monday night, and the restaurant was pretty busy. The service was great very efficient. The restaurant even given us flat bread with dips without charge as we waited for the starters and mains. It was a long wait as expected as it was busy. The food was well presented unfortunately mine and my friends' chicken shish was only slightly warm by the time it came to the table. But overall, it was lovely food. Being a Monday, they had live music entertainment. plus 20%off the bill.

The staff here are absolutely lovely - the manager came and greeted us personally even though this was our first time here. We came for father’s day - the food was lovely, it came quickly and the facilities are well-decorated. Once again I must commend the service at this restaurant, truly lovely people. I highly recommend - Thank you!
