Good size portions, the food is well presented, fresh and full of flavour.
I have been here three times now and as always the service was excellent.

  We went there because of the good reviews that we had seen online, and we definitely were not disappointed! We ordered a variety of cold and hot mezzes and all... read more of them were amazing and very well presented. The chicken shish that I ordered for my main was simply delicious and it came with a wonderful salad! They have a great variety of wines and cocktails as well, which is always good if you go out with friends and fancy a couple of drinks after the meal.
Will definitely come back as the food and staff was simply superb.

  We went in there by mistake first time, just trying something different, not having any expectations. Those people do everything to make sure you are very comfortable and feel that... read more you have all the attention that you need! Nothing is too much to ask and you can tell how they value their customers and how well they take care of them! The food was just very good and one portion was big enough to feed 2 hungry adults. Please note i work as a chef in a very high establishment and i have a lot of experience and i am normally extremely hard to be pleased! Returned second time, we got same spoiling treatment and food came out quickly to take away and we thought portions would be smaller or something would go wrong... Everything was the same, delicious, big size portions and well seasoned and good spices combinations! I would recomand this dish the Mixed Shish and i can't wait untill they will be able to open to book a table! Thank you very much, you made me smile! This is a part of the mixed shish that i took a pic of using my own plate!

We had an amazing time.
The staff was friendly, professional and not hesitating to advice us for the... read more food or drinks.
After the calf’s liver and tarama salad we had, both made to perfection, I went for the mix fish, and the chef did not fail to amaze me.
The dish was delicious.
During our visit we noticed that the restaurant also takes care of different parties.
We know now a wonderful place to celebrate our birthdays, work dues and other occasions.
The drinks were on top and a large variety of cocktails.

  We visited for the third time yesterday for a late lunch and the food and service was excellent as it had been previously.Would highly recommend a visit whatever type of... read more food you like.

  Great food well worth a try and staff are lovely nothing is to much trouble for them when preparing your meal to take away at mo

  We had heard really good reports of Dem Shish Restaurant, and last night we decided to try it. We ordered Iskender Kebab x 2 . It arrived in less than... read more the quoted time , which was encouraging, and when we opened our food cartons we were very impressed by the quality and presentation of the contents . this included a selection of yoghurts, dips, and salads. The food was very fresh and beautifully cooked, and tasted absolutely delicious. Price was excellent value, considering the amount of food, the quality of the meats,(chicken, lamb, and lamb mince) and standard of cooking.We were left very satisfied with what we had. So much so, (wait for it!) we ordered the same again the following evening, and that was exactly as the first, which I think deserves points for consistency, a rare thing these days in the take away market. Well, I have to say, it looks like Dem Shish have gained a new regular customer, many thanks to the staff too!

  The food is fantastic and the service just as good. We had 1 starter and 2 mains and a pudding to share all were delicious. I recommend and I will... read more be going back

  I ordered online through the restaurants own website - I first had to choose what time I wanted the takeaway delivered, which I've not seen on any other site and... read more it proved very annoying because at the end, when I'd filled in all the details it rejected my order the delivery time not available, it didn't keep all the information I'd already filled in, so I had to do everything all over again.

You can only pay either cash or Paypal, so I chose the latter because I wanted to keep safe social distance and stay safe but I was phoned after I'd placed my order to say part of it wasn't available and when I asked for a refund they said they'd send cash - not do it through Paypal and then the delivery man rang the doorbell, to give the cash back into my hand - totally wrong and he wasn't wearing a mask, so very worrying and very dangerous. Why wasn't the cash put into a bag instead?

The two main meals we'd chosen were both meant to come with rice but one dish had rice in the bottom of it but not the other.

We got two bags containing everything we'd ordered as we also got 3 different mezes and one of the bags, every dish in there had leaked, so oil and bright purple liquid went everywhere, so I had a lot of cleaning up to do whilst unpacking this order.

I had the Adana kebab and when I ate the first bite of the minced meat kebab I got a big piece of bone in it. I ate every mouthful carefully after that and found two more pieces of bone and several pieces of gristle.

Another person had the Beyti kebab - this looked a real mess and the person who ate it said it was ok but not very good and they were very disappointed not to have the rice in the dish as it was supposed to come with that - I gave them half of mine but this person loves rice and wasn't happy at all to be left without a favourite part of their dinner :((

Everything came in silver foil dishes with cardboard on top but not everything was labelled, so it was difficult to sort out who was meant to have what, we got one dish of white yogurt - no idea which dish this was meant to go with as not on menu. My salad was carrot, tomato and cucumber and red cabbage that had a very vinegary taste and wasn't nice.

The secuk was described as spicy Turkish sausage and we got four slices on some lettuce, it wasn't very spicy and was a bit on the dry side, we wouldn't order again.

Also got Ali Nazik which was described as aubergine puree with yogurt and mixed peppers - I couldn't taste aubergine at all, I used the bread plonked on top on my kebab to eat with it as it was too strong on its own.

A warm meze was sigara boregi - "crispy" pastry filled with cheese and spinach, we got 4 rolls, the pastry had softened due to the way it was packed and there was white stuff at one end of the dish also making it more soggy on one end, they were disappointing as not much taste to them.

Our order came to £39.60 and we felt it was very overpriced for what we got, especially the beyti kebab £12.90 which was not as expected at all and certainly not worth the price charged.

I have tried to add photos to my review but, unusually, none are being allowed to upload to this restaurant.

  We had an excellent dinner delivery from Dem Shish and were impressed by all aspects of the service. The food arrived in a timely fashion and it was still amazing... read more and hot. We had a Dem Shish Special, which was delicious. The choice of food made for a nice change and we’d definitely order from Dem Shish again. Many thanks!

  Heading into the restaurant we were greeted by a friendly smile, the Turkish welcome makes you feel at home.
We are regular visitors to Turkey, so the food was going... read more to be compared, and it certainly didn't disappoint.
The visit was for my daughters 6th birthday and my father in laws retirement, so a large party of 12.
Starters, mains and desserts were eaten.
The starters are all priced about £5.00 and for the quantity and quality well priced, but the mains priced between £14 to £20 stole the show.
Presentation was excellent, quality was good and the taste was sensational.
Deserts went down well, tasty and all about £5 Mark.
The kids were catered for with kids meals, ranging from smaller turkish dishes to burger and chips ( turkey style)
All of the food was served with a friendly smile.
The restaurant also caters for gluten free, and the menu was good and the food didn't disappoint.

The restaurant was a good size, clean, well presented and comfortable.

A little hidden gem, tucked out of the busy area of eastbourne, but a strong recommendation from us to visit, and will certainly be returning very soon.

Thank you dem shish.
