Tarshish

It was a nice and relaxed spot, decent decor and filling portions. Good but not special

Great experience at Tarshish, from the ambience to the outstanding customer service from all staff members. Dined for a birthday meal with a friend. Food was amazing and the cocktails we had were delicious. Adnan was our waiter for the evening, he was very warming, professional and attentive! My friend had special dietary requirements and this was met. Well done team, will definitely recommend and revisit!

Went to celebrate my dads 50th. Was lovely and food was great. It was rather pricy though

Food is overpriced and is very hit and miss when it comes to taste! The starters were lovely but mains were dry in texture and bland in taste. The cocktails are fantastic! Just a shame they are 10 pounds each

Loved everything about it and it was a amazing 24th birthday

My visit to Tarshish was undoubtedly one the best experiences! Friendly staff, great food, enjoyable atmosphere, can't fault anything!

I went here for my birthday, everyone had a great time and the food was amazing as always! :)

Expected a lot more than what I experienced. Food was fair and portion sizes were good, however I could have had better a little further down the road at one of other Turkish restaurants!
The restaurant wasn’t full, but service was slow- we were left with our empty plates for quite a while and it took a long time to get a second drink or even get a waiter’s attention to offer us one.
Decor is nice- perfect for those Instagram photos it that’s what you’re after!

Great venue, you wouldn’t think it would be in Turnpike Lane (Nothing against Turnpike Lane). Service was slow but that’s my only gripe.

Came to enjoy a meal and cocktails with friends and had a great evening

A lovely place to celebrate a special occasion or to just meet friends.
Good atmosphere, great food, great service

This place is absolutely fantastic! We had an amazing time throughout the evening. The food is delicious, full of flavours. The management and service, the music, the atmosphere is what every great restaurant should provide. We loved it!!!

Good food, nice ambiance!

Forgotten drinks but this can happen. I work in a restaurant myself. We enjoyed our evening with my wife.

It was lovely! Beautiful restaurant

Lovely food!! Quantity and taste, both are amazing. Decor could be nicer but the food makes up for it.

The service and food was absolutely amazing!
Thank you Tarshish team!

Slightly disappointing as we didn't get to order our first choice on the menu. Would have been nice to advised by the restaurant in advance of this and I would have made other plans as it was for a special occasion. Food was cold service was slow and served by 4 different people table for 2 and empty glasses still not cleared even when main meals come out leaving little room on the table. Food was just dumped on the table, very little effort made. A night of celebration was ruined and embarrassing.

Excellent cocktails, starters and mains. Good, attentive service, and nice moderately loud background music to candle-light. We enjoyed a memorable holiday meal with our family. Pleasing to all ages.

Great ambience my food was slightly cold though and the service was a bit slow

Have dined here in the past and had a good experience.
Came here last week and was very disappointed. Service was awful food was cold and very bland.
Definitely won’t be back.
Very overpriced for the quality of food.

Great place for family and friends and great staff

Absolutely amazing food. Could not get enough. Highly recommend

Really disappointed with the level of service and food by Tarshish having heard so much about them hence why I had my birthday meal here. We weren’t finished with our starters and the waiter could clearly see we were all eating but he took the plates one by one which left us puzzled. His stern look and response was that our mains are coming out. We waited an extra 15 minutes until they came and when they did one by one at different times, the food was cold and the chips were stale. It seemed odd as they were quite keen to also take our plates of our mains when we weren’t finished too. The place is filled with waiters but don’t think they really understand what customer service is. It was bizarre as we asked for the bill twice and it was only when I saw the gent in the blazer he printed off our receipt. I drive fromSouth London 2.5 hours in traffic for what I call a disaster - the only sweet thing I have to say was my friends who arranged a cake which the waiter kindly agreed to bring out in the end. My first visit and most definitely my last.

Birthday meal!

Overpriced food, with bad service. Three different waiters let us know, 30mins into the meal that we needed to return the table in an hour and a half. Really ruined the dinner and felt rushed.

Fantastic experience great food and service staff.

Credit to the staff all of them were so attentive - would highly recommend.

Accommodated a 14 month old baby with no issues at all.

Lovely 🥰😍 would definitely come back. The food was amazing 😬

My first visit was better as the food was prepared well and we had amazing service. The burger I ordered was cold and not done the way I like it so had to send it back. I was able to get a different meal instead fortunately. The atmosphere was nice but a little too loud.

Food wasnt as good as it used to be! The service was good and the mood was also good however food has gone downhill.

Great experience. Lovley staff. Food was awesome :)

Hey Tarshish is an amazing resturant ...


food never disappoints i would deffo say this is one of my favourite restaurants , i always get the mixed sheesh and the coleslaw is amazing!

only thing i would say is the music is very loud can barely hear anyone speak x

Excellent! Great food! Great venue! Great service! Was rushed out a bit after meal but staff were very apologetic. I would deffo recommend!

Tarshish is high-end Turkish cuisine served in a very chic setting, situated overlooking the High Road running north from Turnpike Lane. The attention to detail is the first thing that gets a tick in the box from me - the courtesy of the greeting, and the fact that the receptionist radios up to the restaurant floor so that the maitre d' is waiting to greet you and show you to your table. The restaurant interior design is dark, glossy, and modern.

We were there for an early sitting (pre theatre), so the restaurant was on the quiet side; I therefore can't comment on how noisy/boisterous it gets when full. The background music was not overwhelming but did have a pervasive club beat, so if that's not your thing, be warned.

We didn't start with cocktails on this occasion but I did take a look at the menu, which is weighted towards trendy concoctions rather than classic cocktails. The wine list was short and we struggled to find a white wine that looked appealing - but we opted instead for a South African rose which was excellent. On the whole I'd like to see the drinks menu extended and enriched.

Starters were excellent - we opted for a couple of hot seafood starters, both of which were excellent. The mains were also very good - as you'd expect, the grilled meats dominate, but they were done very well. I'd recommend the Iskanker Kebab.

In short, this place is well worth a visit for a quality Turkish meal in a trendy, opulent setting.

Food was so good, service excellent and loved the overall ambiance and style of the place. Would defo go back again

Absolutely fantastic. Excellent customer service. Great vibe and very attentive.

Expensive for what it is, but the restaurant is very pretty.

Amazing Place , definitely one of my favourite now

The food and service was good. However, the waitress could have been a bit more knowledgeable about the menu to make recommendations.

It was a lovely night, food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. Affordable food I have no complaints beside the toilets are soo dark they have dimmed the light can’t see much.
