Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really lovely food, not a bad thing to say about any of the food I tried. Our waitress, Claudia, was lovely and very accommodating. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant

We arrived and was greeted by a waiter who showed us to our table. The food was good and the service was good. We didn't wait long for our food. The only downside with this restaurant is that it's a bit pricey. I would recommend...this restaurant to friends and family.More

All I can say is what an utter disappointment!! We went here to celebrate a friends birthday, she had seen the place on Instagram and wanted to try it out. We drove all the way from south London to try this restaurant out. The venue...looks spectacular, it is decorated really well and we thought we were going to be in for a treat. We ordered x4 starters which all came out cold, we spoke to the waiter and he took them away, more arrived and these were also cold. We just ate them because by this point we was hungry, I must say the prawns were delicious, just a shame they were cold. Our mains came out piping hot, a very good sign we thought. However, upon eating our chicken and lamb shish we noticed the chicken wasn’t cooked properly, it was very fleshy inside and had a rubbery texture. The lamb was very fatty, chewy and also in some parts undercooked. We showed the waiter and the manger and they agreed. There are plenty of other amazing Turkish restaurants around, please don’t be fooled by the bougie look of this place. I would like to add we did get 50% off the bill due to none of us because able to eat our mains.More

Fabulous food and excellent service slightly spoiled by loud music (they have employed a DJ to play music so loud you cannot speak to people) and screaming children….but a great venue in north London

Service was first class and the ambience and overall atmosphere was pure Park Lane. However the primary reason one goes to a restaurant is to eat and drink and i'm sorry to say but they have fallen short here. Their red meet (lamb) was very...fatty and not tender. I did not enjoy it at all. The Lamb Shank was flavourless too and my wife was not keen. The two things they got right was the chicken and the cold starters. The drinks were also pure syrup and catering cartons of juice. Not fresh ingredients which one would expect for the price. I would return but only for starters and chicken dish. They are super in some areas but need to sort out the fatty lamb which needs to be chewed for 5 mins before swallowing. Plus they don't label their menu with a dietry legend (ie; V, Gluten, Dairy) etc. So you're left having to ask about everything and don't feel comfortable or informed to make a choice without calling a waiter each time.More

I had my celebration dinner for my Shahada at Tarshish & I booked a private room. Everything was up to its standard with food & service being spectacular. Big thank you to the Tarshish team for accommodating to mine & my friends needs & for...looking after us. A big thank you to Onwr who did everything he could to make my night as special as possible. Tarshish is a favourite and now a regular restaurant for me to visit. Thank you to Tarshish, Onwr & Klaudia. I recommend to everyone to go hereMore

Went to Tarshish last night with a group of friends and we were very impressed with the ambience and the food tasted really good. Very good portions too. The service could have been better. We ordered a bottle of still water for the table right...at the start which was not brought over and we had to remind the wait staff before it was brought after we had already finished eating. I was also disappointed that I ordered the ‘Suicide Squad’ cocktail after seeing how it looks on instagram but it looked nothing like it. False advertising and I generally would not have paid that amount of money for a regular cocktail otherwise. The rest was very good and I would come back to the restaurant.More

Went here for my birthday dinner with my husband, I was served by Adnan who was an absolute pleasure - so attentive and polite not to mention every drink he recommended was an absolute treat! We had Marilyn Monroe, midnight madness (reminds me of ribena...so smooth) , couples therapy was a fav, and Amazon and some shots - every drink was a 10/10. Food was lovely and served quickly.More
