Sheesh Restaurant

Unmatched Service Elevates Dining Experience

Nestled in the charming neighborhood of Chigwell, Sheesh treats diners to an immersive experience that dances gracefully between elegance and indulgence. Walking through its gorgeous arches, one is greeted with a setting so delightfully lavish, it feels as though an artist has crafted it rather than designed it. My excitement was palpable, akin to strolling through an art gallery where every detail is meant to be savored. Seated promptly, I found the staff to be a highlight of the evening. Marko, my waiter, set a new benchmark in hospitality. His finesse and subtle charm made the meal a bespoke experience, crafting culinary tales with vivid recommendations.

The menu echoed with extravagant notes, tantalizing taste buds with promises of sumptuous flavors. The monkfish danced brightly on my palette with its fresh zest, even if the price tag seemed hefty (£50 if I remember correctly). The lamb kofta, however, stole the show—juicy and paired with a delightful side of rice and salad. Every bite seemed enthused with passion, proving the kitchen’s remarkable skill. Perhaps the margins weighed heavy on dessert, but in truth, the entire experience left me intoxicated, forgetful of minor tremors in darkness or seating arrangements. If you regard yourself as a seeker of sensory indulgence, follow Joey Essex's lead—I dare say you won’t mind the proverbial dent on your wallet. Whether returning for the ambiance or chef's marvelous creations, Sheesh enthusiastically awaits your tale. — Milo Tastemaker
