Restaurant: Turkish

 

Time Out says   Rate it

Posted: Dec 15 2009

The location of this restaurant looks a little unlikely on an A-Z, and doesn't make much more sense when you get there. Shahi Mez is housed in a capacious corner building between Docklands' commercial towers and some of the area's modern housing, but isn't exactly part of either district. Passing trade, one imagines, is not a huge source of revenue. The restaurant rethought and expanded its offerings in 2009, adding an Indian chef to the kitchen staff, some Indian dishes to the menu and the word 'Shahi' to its name. But the Turkish staples remain, and they're generally well cooked. The plate of mixed meze offered some agreeable tarama and impressive falafel, among other items. Of the grills, the ískender kebab came with a nice tomatoey tang, but grilled sea bass was less impressive, something not helped by the wildly overcooked potatoes and asparagus; best to stick with the meat. Still, this is a nice room, crisp and airy, and staff do an efficient job of keeping everyone happy.
