My Shish Walthamstow

I recently dined at MyShish in London and had a fantastic experience. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was nicely laid out with elegant decor and top tier ambient lighting that made the space feel modern yet intimate. Free parking was a big bonus, especially in London, and the fact that all food is halal gave us peace of mind. For starters, I had the hummus with warm bread. The hummus was smooth and tasty, but the soft and fresh bread really stood out. I also tried the pulled beef bao bun. The bun was soft and slightly sweet, and the beef was slow cooked to perfection. It was tender, juicy, and had a subtle kick of spice. A very satisfying start to the meal. For mains, I went with the prime rib eye steak cooked medium rare, served with peppercorn sauce and chips. The steak was beautiful, juicy, tender, and perfectly pink inside. The peppercorn sauce was creamy with just the right amount of heat. The chips were crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and well seasoned. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese which was creamy, cheesy, and cooked just right. Every part of the meal was excellent. To drink, I had the Unicorns Ride mocktail. The lychee flavour really came through and hit the spot. It was delicious, though at nine pounds it felt slightly expensive for the size. I just wish the glass had been a bit bigger. Service was a real highlight. I want to mention the waitress who served us. She was a tall South Asian lady with her hair tied back and what I believe was a tattoo on her wrist. She was respectful, professional, and calm even while dealing with a very difficult family of four seated next to us. The parents were shockingly rude, asking awkward questions about how food was cooked, finishing most of their meal, and then complaining to try and get a discount. It was uncomfortable to watch, and I wanted to say something, but my family convinced me not to. Despite their behaviour, the waitress handled them with grace and professionalism. People in hospitality should never be treated like that. I hope she knows she did a fantastic job and made our evening much better. Another great touch is the shisha bar located at the back of the restaurant. It is a relaxing space designed with the same attention to atmosphere and detail as the main dining area. A perfect way to wind down after a great meal. As someone who works in the NHS, I also made use of the ten percent discount, which I already knew about before visiting. It was a thoughtful gesture and very much appreciated. All in all, MyShish delivered a high quality experience from start to finish. Friendly staff, a beautifully designed setting, flavourful halal food, and truly impressive service. With the added perks of free parking, a lovely shisha lounge, and NHS discount, it is a complete evening experience. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others looking for a memorable meal out.

I think the restaurant in Woodford is under new management, I went there and service was terrible and so was the quality of the food. Usually when you go to a restaurant you get served your drinks first we had to wait about 20mins for that and that only because I asked the staff can we have our drinks at least. When serving another table behind us, the two waitresses dropped and broke the sauce pots which shattered all around us. Upon getting our food our “mac and cheese” was not even Mac and cheese it was just pasta with cheese sprinkled on. The waitress and waiters were all lost, they was running all over the place and when trying to call them, they ignored you. They sung happy birthday to someone but that required the entire kitchen staff to come out and stop operation of the restaurant. When we wanted to pay our bill, apparently only the manager can take payment. Which when I asked he went with the card machine to another table to take their payment. Due to this we got up and went to the front to pay as if not they would’ve delayed me further. When walking up to the desk the waitress said wait at the table you can pay there where I said it’ll take too long. She went and got thr manager and he took payment but when I said I don’t wanna pay the service charge he got a bit mad and asked sarcasticly “would you like your recipt sir” In my opinion this restaurant is under new management who are should not be in the “Mediterranean cuisine” sector and should think about changing their strategies.

Came here for lunch at 4pm with my wife and new born, very welcoming and food was absolutely stunning. The Strawberry mojitos were 5* aswell as the chicken steak. Highly Reccomend
