About This Pub
Ah, Shish LEGENDS – it's one of those places that really stands out for its fusion Turkish Meze, and I've got to say, from what I've seen in the reviews, it's mostly a winner. The food is spot on most times, with massive portions of fresh, flavour-packed dishes like their hummus, lahmacun, and those impressive platters that could feed a crowd without breaking the bank. It's especially lovely for a family get-together or a casual evening out, with a relaxed atmosphere and staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Plus, being halal and offering quick takeaways is a real bonus if you're in the mood for something convenient yet special. On the flip side, though, there are moments when things don't quite hit the mark – like that one review moaning about tasteless lamb ribs and a chef who didn't quite nail it, which is a shame because it shows not every dish is consistently brilliant. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone craving Turkish flavours in Romford, but I'd suggest going in with an open mind and maybe sticking to the popular items to avoid any surprises. If you're up for exploring new tastes with mates, it's definitely worth a punt, just keep expectations balanced for that authentic pub-goer chat!

-
It might not be the most consistent experience, as even with great reviews, there's the odd let-down that could spoil your evening.
-
As it's more of a Turkish restaurant than a traditional pub, if you're after classic pub grub or a wide selection of beers, it could fall a bit short.
-
The operating hours vary a tad and it's often closed earlier in the day, so you might need to plan around that for a spontaneous visit.

Recent Reviews
I have been to this restaurant a few times, its a family favourite, the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
The food is always amazing, very well seasoned with massive portions.
Definitely will be back.
Second time I've ordered takeaway from these amatures who put Turkish food to shame. Lamb ribs and bulgur had no taste I had to add a lot of salt. On top of that look how poor the quality of the lamb ribs are, the chef is terrible. Please don't waste money in this place. The chef hasn't got a clue how to cook
Food tasted delicious, one of the best wraps I have had. will definitely order again. Food was also delivered very quickly and was still warm when received.
Been here couple of times with the family and the food has always been scrumptious 😋.
Always fresh and full of flavour, the naga lahmachun is a hit if you love spice.
Service has always been great here.
Definitely recommend 👌
Really enjoyed a quick dine in snack. Lovely comfortable interior, intimate for all occasions. Have always enjoyed their takeouts at home, it’s a great halal place.
