My 🇺🇸ex in laws had terrible table manners and appalling cutlery skills, a knife was an alien tool to grab in a fist and hack at meat, the shovel it in their mouths with just a fork…also used incorrectly 🤦🏼♀️ I used to look like the Queen out with them 😂
I am so not a foodie and seldom eat out but I find these videos really interesting. I would like to congratulate Gary on the unpretentious yet informative, and cheery way he presents them. I am grateful to you for the effort you put in and you fully deserve any financial rewards that come from it. Well done.
Exactly what I was thinking too! Really a double salad with the tomato and olive salad, then a salad broken down into 5 equal parts, bread and rice are also inexpensive to make, which makes for a huge profit margin for the restaurant. However, I'm sure they pay sky-high rent and utilities on the building and staff, so they do need a relatively high profit margin from the food for those things. It's understandable that their prices were that high for dinner. I would never be able to afford a place like that unless someone else was paying! LOL
Sheesh is one of my favourite restaurants, their food is incredible! You get what you pay for, and the quality certainly delivers. Also with the business lunch the portions are smaller than the standard menu, but you still get loads! My typical order is the chicken sheesh, rice, cheesy pastry rolls and truffle chips. It’s more than enough food to share, their portion sizes are very generous. And if like me you want to take some home they’ll box and bag it up for you, the staff, service and food are always amazing. If you haven’t been yet, try the dog and pickle in Ongar, absolutely love it there and they serve the best roast dinners 🔥
Hi mate. Sitting here in Oz with a broken arm and shoulder having tripped over the dog. Feeling a bit sorrowful until I had my daily Gary dose of charm, humour and authenticity. Feeling better for it … thanks and much love as usual ❤️
There are lots of Turkish restaurants around these days think this one was style over substances the evening menu prices are ridiculous we have a Turkish restaurant that we go too and it's as good as anything I saw on your dishes. The prices are a fraction of this ones too, just because celebrities go doesn't make it good Gary. Glad you enjoyed your meal and love your reviews always. Safe travels 😊
It looked fantastic but the only expense there was the meat. When I saw you pick up the pepper and took a big bite I was literally shouting “STOP!!” They are called sivri biber in Turkish, some are not that hot at all but some, like yours, are like napalm. Thanks Gary, you make all your reviews fun and give us all loads of choices for places to eat out.
The pub used to be a homely carvery place until Alen sugar bought it and I think his son runs it, it's a expensive area with so called celebrities that can only afford to go there. Great video Gary x.
Dear Gary, Even though I live in Sweden and can't directly apply your advice, I truly appreciate your films. You create such dignified and excellent performances, always embodying integrity and respect. Thank you for inspiring so many!
Sitting in Australia watching this but grew up in Chigwell. Building is or used to be owned by Alan Sugar who lives a stones throw away from it. The place for absolute ponces. Love the channel
Alan sugar owns the building !!! I live local,It was a loverly pub called the kings head,before sheesh with a loverly Calvary upstairs years ago ! Even the likes of marlon Brando used to visit
Another great review Gary. One thought. Maybe those sky high prices at peak times are helping to subsidise the lunch time menu for us normals. That actually looked really good and decent value. If you think about it they have all bases covered. The lunch menu for us plebs, and the evening menu for those with more money than sense 😂.
Gary, Sheesh. It had the Wow factor in every dish, possibly the best ive seen, stunning perfection & presentation! The business lunch 3 courses for £30, nothing wrong with that...for that quality. Yet another superb review from the dynamic duo 👏 The channel just keeps on improving & getting very close to 150k subscribers 🎉🎉 All the very best! Cheers 🍻
I'm with you. When you analyse the cost of the ingredients.. Lots of shredded salad, tomatoes, bread, donuts and ice cream plus the cuts of chicken and lamb.. Nothing wrong with using cheaper ingredients, it's what you do with them. Claude Bosi at the two Michelin star Hibiscus 20yrs ago did a three course lunch menu for £25!! He's now in London and his lunch time x3 course is £55 for unbelievable cooking. Check him out!
There are plenty of these Turkish restaurants popping up all over the place, you hardly get any meat and you’re basically paying a lot of money for a fancy plate of salad and some bread.
Love the variety of places you review Gary. For me you are the best UK reviewer on here. Would love to see more Italian restaurants 🇮🇹🍝 Keep up the great work
Another great review Gary and cameraman, the food and surroundings looked spot on and as usual I’m hungry after watching. Thank you both from Australia.
Been there and their London restaurant several times. I am vegan and their grilled vegetables are genuinely one of the best things I have ever eaten and I don’t usually even really like them much. Highly recommend the business lunch as it is outstanding value and you’ll certainly be full afterwards!
@@GaryEats Really enjoy the channel, and my Dad enjoyed it too when he visited last weekend and I showed him UA-cam for the first time. He especially enjoyed the ones in Cornwall as that’s where we’re from
@@rosemarymee You just tell them you’re vegetarian or vegan and you get a modified business lunch for the same price with the same starter and then roasted vegetables in a large pan-like dish and the rice as well, I also recommend ordering a side of the potatoes (to share if there are a few of you!) as although there is more than enough to eat they are fantastic, a bit like a cross between a chip shop chip and a roast potato, and then you get sorbets for dessert (as I’m vegan) but to be honest I was so full I could barely eat the dessert
Surely a vegan wouldn't want their veg grilled on or near a grill/kitchen used to cook meat .....a vegetarian would say its OK as long as its a clean grill
I used to eat there all the time back in the day. It was about 20 quid for a mixed grill and 24 for the mixed grill that was only lamb no chicken.. haven't been there for years. Didn't realise they'd gone crazy with the prices .
Well, it's great that there's at least some substance with the style! I expect what you're actually paying for is the sightseeing - lots to look at all around, even if much of it is peculiar. And at night, when there's no price concession, the possibility of social lions at a nearby table. Still, I'm glad you found a way to get a good meal at a price that wasn't absolutely obscene! The chiles got you again, amigo! Now, mind - winter is coming. Absolutely NO touching your tongue to frozen surfaces in the cold!
Hi Gary, I'm pleased to see the cameraman got his own meal! Both looked fantastic and very healthy. Well worth the price for the portion size and quality.
@@GaryEatshey up Garry I was hoping your answer would be no he didn't get any this time, for lunch time food I think one of those shared would be more enjoyable might need a bit of extra flat bread. Like the old American pick ups but prefer fords
Wow I didn’t even realise Chigwell was a real place. And Gary is the most recent celeb to frequent the Sheesh! The presentation of the main dishes were a work of art and I love the idea of placing the pitta bread underneath to soak up the juices.
I'm a recent subscriber and really enjoying the honest critiques. Some other food reviewers I've watched for a while, you can tell if they aren't impressed but still just gloss it over. It just comes off as phony and insulting to the viewers who actually want an honest experience. It helps the restaurants and fast food places in the long run to improve on their game
Even for a business lunch I would have hoped for two choices for starter and dessert. Lamb looked especially good. Naturally it's pricey when you consider how much all the bling will have cost the owners. Thanks again Gary and son.
Thanks Gary, I was pleasantly surprised at what you got for the money after looking at the crazy prices on the menu. Looks like they are catering partly for people for whom money is no object and also the people that dont want ripping off!
I won £30 on the Lottery about 2 years ago Gary....does that get me through the door of The Sheesh????😁. I used to go to the Fat Turk in Brentwood when I was on my travels and always had a good meal there. At 30 quid that looked great value and would happily pay that, but £50 for the evening Shish, that would be an eye waterer and not just from the chillies!!! Another top one there Gary......Fantastico!!!
Do you buy pitted black olives or ones with stones still in them? As Jamie Oliver was saying the pitted black olives, with the stone already removed, are green ones, but dyed black? He's definitely right about some of them being dyed black, but I'm not sure if they all are though.
Location, location, location hiya Gary & Cameraman. It could have been a set from " Birds of a Feather " Has got to be said, a touch ostentatious for me. I can imagine the local " set " going to be seen over the weekend. Again a brilliantly vibrant display of food, which in its self is a beautiful sight. The remarks you gave were in your own honest and truthful style. So good to hear. Can't see it as a destination restaurant, even the" business lunches " must be local trade. Maybe a post office raid or a small bank job and I might pop in. Think my cards would self shred at those prices 😂😂💳💳✂️ As always an interesting view over the garden wall. Thanks for the information on how the other half eats 👌👍😊Allan&Family
This is definitely a place to be seen, I think there was too much salad on offer on this occasion, the GP percentage must be massive, I would definitely not go there in the evenings Allan, as always regards to the family
Gary, love to see you go back and try the expensive options on the menu, curious as to what they have to offer. Blown away by what you reviewed today.😊
Seems pretty fair and honest the 8/10. Large portions and well cooked food. Presentation was amazing, a feast for ones eyes. Sheesh is really worth a visit. Well done Gary🤙
Me and my good lady have Turkish nosh delivered from our local, Bodrum, here in Leicester. We have the special platter, has 4 strips of sheesh, pieces of lamb, chicken, chargrilled chilli peppers and tomatoes on a bed of rice in a container about 10 inches square, comes with chilli sauce pots, garlic mayo , another container full of fresh salad and 2 large warm pieces of fresh bread for 16.99, we also add doner meat n chips for another 6 quid, enough for 4 people easily and the quality is amazing for 27 quid delivered. I know it's not an eating out experience but it's great food. Cheers for another great review.
In the 80's loads of London gangsters bought pubs in Essex and East London to turn them into mini nightclubs to wash the cash. These days other people! are opening barber shops and restaurants for the same purpose.
Love olives, black or green, love them all. A recent drive around northern Spain reminded me how much I love the big green olives there. Living in Portugal its mostly small black olives that are firmer, sharper, but still delicious!
Another fantastic review and location Both . The lunch menu is the way to go for sure and reasonable for what you get . Wow that presentation and portion size is phenomenal . Good recommendation viewers 👍🏼
Hi Gary! Yikes, that's a bit of a wallet buster. Very interesting decor... Thought it had a "secret society" look & feel to it. I imagine you're paying alot for setting & location but it's still way up there! Personally, I don't like olives, but my brother & my dad love them & will woof them down. 😅 I thought the chicken & lamb looked amazing. You could really share one of those between two people. The spices seemed to be on the attack a few times there. Lol. Dessert looked lovely, but sorry it was a little dry. Wonderful review as always & totally agree, try it out for the £30 business lunch menu... Certainly no skimping on portion. Almost at a very well deserved 150K subs Gary! You both take care & see you on the next one. ☺️💙
It was good but not amazing Erin, I wasn’t a fan so I won’t be returning if you understand my point. I’ve had better elsewhere, more importantly I hope you’re well and having a wonderful week ❤️❤️🌹
Great video Gary as always!.. The lunch seems much better value for money compared to the evening meal prices, but i heard in the evenings it has more a of party vibe and celebrity hang out! The mayfair branch looks good too, and i think they also have special lunch deal, definately might try out the lunch menu but i agree the dinner menu is very expensive and hard to justify.
Managed to watch your review Gary nursing an awful chest infection so not up to much! Very pretty plate of food and wonderful for your gut! Thanks Gary. X
Great video, as usual. The Presentation of the food was amazing. The lunch menu price is reasonable but the main menu is a complete rip off. Pretentious surroundings and cost with a lack of substance. The cost of ingredients does not warrant the main meal prices.
Take off the veg that’s been through the shopping channel veg Matic you’ve a length of meat a small bowl of rice and a few dips , be good value at £19 there’s absolutely minimum prep just presentation , , all Looked really nice , 👍
Hi Gary Core, this looks like a swanky place I only been to one Turkish restaurant. I was very impressed. But this place is on another level. I think the wagyu beef is for me personally But very impressed with the lunchtime menu Definitely prepared to a high standard and lots of quality love the garden and setting as well And was definitely a healthy portion Excellent video Gary as usual 👍
Hi my friend I want to share my good news with you it’s been 10 years cancer free even though my path is full of pain in other areas of my body through my disability’s and more surgery’s to follow on other parts of my body I am truly grateful to not have this disease anymore yes I’ve lost parts of my body but that does not matter last surgery I’ve had to have a stoma bag fitted which was a very painful surgery in itself but your smile and vlogs are so lovely to watch and I enjoy looking forward to all the nice or not nice food you try take care and looking forward to your next vlog 😊
Two restaurants you should try down at Walton on the Naze, Whites Pie and Mash Shop and The Lara Turkish Kebab restaurant, a lot cheaper than Sheesh and the food is amazing. 👍🏻
Great review Gal the biz menu sounds great! But @ full price Lamb chops 59 squiddles... Lamb shish 49 squiddles... Chicken Shish 39 squiddles.... Sheesh are taking the Peesh!
Fab review as always Gary.I love black olives.I think its great value for £30 .The presentation was very very good .Two people could easily share that .Keep up the fab reviews ,and both keep safe .
Thank you for an enlighting and interesting peek into Sheesh 👍 The interior decor looked a bit tasteless to be honest. The platter of veggies was impressive, I'd have enjoyed munching my way through that.
Great review Gary, thanks again. Turkish food is my favourite because it’s not only delicious but aesthetically really pleasing. I thought for what you got, £30 was quite reasonable for the lunch, but everything else ridiculously expensive. The food looked real quality and a lovely place as well. 8/10 for me 👍
Gary, I think the word you’re looking for is not ‘bling’, it’s ‘chavvy’. The evening menu is Mayfair prices, and if you know Chigwell then you’ll know that Mayfair it certainly ain’t. I go past this restaurant a lot, and it’s full of the TOWIE lot and Essex wannabe gangsters. Even if the food is excellent, the gaudy and tasteless decor is enough to put me off. But thanks for reviewing a restaurant that’s actually close to me for once. Cheers, mate!
@@louiseanderson1505 I don't think you could describe the TOWIE mob as pretentious. None of them could spell it for a start. I think the term,brassy fits them better.
Hi Gary, my brother has gone to Sheesh several times - special occasions - and always liked the food and the ambience. Those dishes looked good. Thank you, and continue to have a great week !
What a lovely looking place this is, slightly expensive but what lovely tasty food, lot's of lovely colours. And the flavours looked like they were good, excellent video as always Gary.
Sound advice, go during the day for the better value business lunch to avoid the high price main menu whilst also avoiding the wannabe's and z-list celebs that turn up in the evening. 😃
A very fair review as usual. I worked there as a student from 1965 when it was the Kings Head. Then owned by the Newtons, who had a DB5; it did a roaring trade. Now owned by Alan Sugar at least it is still standing.
Gary, you are a hero for eating food which cannot retain its heat while you describe your surroundings and the food itself. I 'm sure that your palate is good and I hope that your digestion remains robust. Salute.
Oh the price is fine my fine people,just watching this while taking a bit of sun at my maldives island home,the siberian caviar is not the best today but needs must,must dash as i have a new lambo just coming to the dock 😂 great vid gary
Gary, I really don’t know how you accommodate the volume of food served up, I’ve put on 30lbs watching you consume £30 worth…..Eastern Med restaurants, Lebanese, Syrian or Turkish have always been so generous with their portions…..the food looked fantastic!
I think that I would agree with you Gary, I would certainly be happy popping in for lunch at those prices but I'd be reluctant to go for an evening meal. I have to say that it did look delicious though. Thanks for the video guys. Cheers.
you know you are doing something right when you load up UA-cam and it's just Gary that's recommended to watch, it's honestly so good watching your videos and being apart of the channels growth. Looking forward to the next one.
Forget the chilli that had me! So glad to discover your channel. Obviously really late to your channel but working my way through your videos! Genuine nice reviewer and great content. Well done to you!
I can’t understand how they justify charging £30 for a bit of truffle,I worked in a top 5 star restaurant,and real truffles are such a strong taste you need very little on the dish,and they said truffle,but didn’t specify if that was real white truffle,black truffle (cheaper) truffle butter,or oil.😊
Looked very good value for £30 considering. It's strange how bronze cutlery seems to have gone out of fashion nowadays because it does indeed look like gold . Thanks for another great review.
maybe because of the many people with nickel allergy who would object to be given Bronze Cutlery. Nickel Allergi is one of the most common forms of allergy
Many a good deal has been made over the "business lunch" at Sheesh normally importing from the Netherlands and I'm not talking bout tulips but another plant (I'm jkin oc) 😂 great review Gaz as always 👍 keep up the good work, road to 150 subz.
Another one Gary, I used to work literally 3 minutes walk away from this place, Mr Sugar lives near to where I worked, also my Leyton Orient have their training ground close by too. The story I heard is, Sheesh was based elsewhere and Lord Sugar offered them to move to this location you are at in the video as it was a favourite of Lord Sugars. Before you ask, no I have never been there to eat, as you noticed, it is a bit expensive.
No, really? Literally 3 minutes' walk away? Literally?! Really actually LITERALLY?!?! LITERALLY?! Not figuratively? Thanks for clearing up that potential source of confusion for us all.
I had to laugh when you bit into that green pimento. Your reaction was classic Gary! I use pimento regularly in my cooking, being on the edge of Basque country. They turn from green to red, and become hotter and sweeter: hotter still when they dry out and shrivel.
Looks good, but most on that plate is sliced and diced 'salad', which is so ridiculously cheap for restaurants to provide. Or do they grow their own? Your work is always brilliant and so civilised. Puds do look yummy though! Thank you, you never disappoint us.❤
Is your great camerman-son as lovely as you? I hope he always eats as well as you do! Does he ever decline the rubbish stuff you try for us?😅l@GaryEats
I would recommend the Sussex fish bar near Paddington station, really lovely staff, really good prices! Especially for London, would love to see you review it
When you buy mixed grills in the UAE, you get all the meat served on bread - it's one of the best bits, but needs to be eaten warm. Great vid. PS, A kilo of mixed meat, lamb and chicken usually, costs around 25quid here, and you get bread, pickles, salad etc. - lasts me (as a single guy,) 4 days!
It used to be a pub named The Kings Head but alas like most boozers these days... A listed building it's said that Dickens knew it well & renamed it the Maypole in his novel Barnaby Rudge. I believe Alan Sugar has a vested interest in Sheesh, he lives a stone's throw away & can afford it more than me. Does look good, I'll start saving!!!
Point taken with the main menu. It’s horrendously expensive but the set menu is very reasonable. Totally agree with you Gary. Nice video!
Thank you very much
Out of all the reviewers, this is a gentleman with wonderful table etiquette.
That is very kind to say, thank you, Mohammed

Absolutely agree with you 👍💯
It looks great, but when you analyse it, it's all salad. The profit will be fantastic.
That is very true a lot of salad
Exactly what I was thinking. The veg will cost peanuts to restraunts maybe they need to bring the price down a bit

What about the meat? Meat isn't salad 😐
Blown up to 145k subs already wow. Don't sell out Gary, always keep it it genuine and simple.
Absolutely no chance of doing that and thank you very much, Johnny
For such great quality videos i would of thought gary had over a million subs if i hadnt known
agree ❤❤❤
As a business lunch that was indeed very impressive. Attractive presentation, generous portions, good quality cooking. £30 was a bargain.

I used to eat there all the time back in the day. It was about 20 quid for a mixed grill and 24 for the mixed grill that was only lamb no chicken.. haven't been there for years. Didn't realise they'd gone crazy with the prices .
Well, it's great that there's at least some substance with the style! I expect what you're actually paying for is the sightseeing - lots to look at all around, even if much of it is peculiar. And at night, when there's no price concession, the possibility of social lions at a nearby table.
Still, I'm glad you found a way to get a good meal at a price that wasn't absolutely obscene!
The chiles got you again, amigo! Now, mind - winter is coming. Absolutely NO touching your tongue to frozen surfaces in the cold!
I think the camera man had a good feast….Too spicy for me but looked delicious…⭐️…
Hi Gary, I'm pleased to see the cameraman got his own meal! Both looked fantastic and very healthy. Well worth the price for the portion size and quality.
Yes he did indeed this time, although I had to try it!
@@GaryEatshey up Garry I was hoping your answer would be no he didn't get any this time, for lunch time food I think one of those shared would be more enjoyable might need a bit of extra flat bread. Like the old American pick ups but prefer fords
Think you are right John
Minus the bit of chicken gary yoinked :P
Wow I didn’t even realise Chigwell was a real place. And Gary is the most recent celeb to frequent the Sheesh! The presentation of the main dishes were a work of art and I love the idea of placing the pitta bread underneath to soak up the juices.
It’s definitely a real place, but one I won’t be returning to
Excuse me! I live in Chigwell.
That's cool, I honestly only heard of it because of the Birds of a Feather comedy, plus I'm up north and my geography isn't too good ;)
I'm a recent subscriber and really enjoying the honest critiques. Some other food reviewers I've watched for a while, you can tell if they aren't impressed but still just gloss it over. It just comes off as phony and insulting to the viewers who actually want an honest experience. It helps the restaurants and fast food places in the long run to improve on their game
Thank you very much
Even for a business lunch I would have hoped for two choices for starter and dessert. Lamb looked especially good. Naturally it's pricey when you consider how much all the bling will have cost the owners. Thanks again Gary and son.
Thank you very much, Stephen
Another great video Gary, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, Chris
Thanks Gary, I was pleasantly surprised at what you got for the money after looking at the crazy prices on the menu. Looks like they are catering partly for people for whom money is no object and also the people that dont want ripping off!
That is exactly the type of market they are aiming for Nick
Agree 100% on olives - prefer the green olives but the black are OK. The ones you had there did look nice I have to say!
Thank you very much, Jeremy
I won £30 on the Lottery about 2 years ago Gary....does that get me through the door of The Sheesh????😁. I used to go to the Fat Turk in Brentwood when I was on my travels and always had a good meal there. At 30 quid that looked great value and would happily pay that, but £50 for the evening Shish, that would be an eye waterer and not just from the chillies!!! Another top one there Gary......Fantastico!!!
I think you need to win a bit more than that, David lol 😂
No better way to spend some time watching a Gary Eats video on a rainy Tuesday afternoon . Looking forward to your video. Have a great day everyone.
Thanks so much Bino... the weather has not been kind!
Love olives, black for salad and pizza, and green for martinis.
Ah..Mr Bond
Do you buy pitted black olives or ones with stones still in them? As Jamie Oliver was saying the pitted black olives, with the stone already removed, are green ones, but dyed black? He's definitely right about some of them being dyed black, but I'm not sure if they all are though.
Absolutely Patrick!!
Shaken or stirred Mr Bond?
Love olives and so does my boy. He's autistic and usually become picky with food not him loves all the charcuterie. We could both eat olives for days.
Location, location, location hiya Gary & Cameraman. It could have been a set from " Birds of a Feather " Has got to be said, a touch ostentatious for me. I can imagine the local " set " going to be seen over the weekend. Again a brilliantly vibrant display of food, which in its self is a beautiful sight. The remarks you gave were in your own honest and truthful style. So good to hear. Can't see it as a destination restaurant, even the" business lunches " must be local trade. Maybe a post office raid or a small bank job and I might pop in. Think my cards would self shred at those prices 😂😂💳💳✂️ As always an interesting view over the garden wall. Thanks for the information on how the other half eats 👌👍😊Allan&Family
This is definitely a place to be seen, I think there was too much salad on offer on this occasion, the GP percentage must be massive, I would definitely not go there in the evenings Allan, as always regards to the family
Gary, love to see you go back and try the expensive options on the menu, curious as to what they have to offer. Blown away by what you reviewed today.😊
I will definitely be not returning to this restaurant
Seems pretty fair and honest
the 8/10. Large portions and
well cooked food. Presentation
was amazing, a feast for ones
eyes. Sheesh is really worth
a visit. Well done Gary🤙
Thank you very much, Paul
Me and my good lady have Turkish nosh delivered from our local, Bodrum, here in Leicester. We have the special platter, has 4 strips of sheesh, pieces of lamb, chicken, chargrilled chilli peppers and tomatoes on a bed of rice in a container about 10 inches square, comes with chilli sauce pots, garlic mayo , another container full of fresh salad and 2 large warm pieces of fresh bread for 16.99, we also add doner meat n chips for another 6 quid, enough for 4 people easily and the quality is amazing for 27 quid delivered. I know it's not an eating out experience but it's great food. Cheers for another great review.
Sounds lovely.
That would be £35+ where I live 😮😮
Read your comment, made me hungry
That sounds absolutely amazing, it is better to support your local kebab shop then spend this kind of money here
In the 80's loads of London gangsters bought pubs in Essex and East London to turn them into mini nightclubs to wash the cash. These days other people! are opening barber shops and restaurants for the same purpose.
@@martynfreeman9638 whenever I visit a Chinese restaurant the cash machine is always out of order
Lol
Especially the Turkish and Indians
I wouldn't give any of them a penny.
What would be a video about a Turkish restaurant without a good helping of xenophobia and bigotry...
@@carpediem5232 And woke virtue signalling.
Love olives, black or green, love them all. A recent drive around northern Spain reminded me how much I love the big green olives there. Living in Portugal its mostly small black olives that are firmer, sharper, but still delicious!
That’s fantastic to hear
Another fantastic review and location Both . The lunch menu is the way to go for sure and reasonable for what you get . Wow that presentation and portion size is phenomenal . Good recommendation viewers 👍🏼
Thank you very, very much, Philip
Hi Gary! Yikes, that's a bit of a wallet buster. Very interesting decor... Thought it had a "secret society" look & feel to it. I imagine you're paying alot for setting & location but it's still way up there! Personally, I don't like olives, but my brother & my dad love them & will woof them down. 😅 I thought the chicken & lamb looked amazing. You could really share one of those between two people. The spices seemed to be on the attack a few times there. Lol. Dessert looked lovely, but sorry it was a little dry. Wonderful review as always & totally agree, try it out for the £30 business lunch menu... Certainly no skimping on portion. Almost at a very well deserved 150K subs Gary! You both take care & see you on the next one. ☺️💙
" Secret society feel " ? ...in what way ?
@@adejames1960Did you ever see the movie "The Skulls" ? It just reminded me of that straight away.
It was good but not amazing Erin, I wasn’t a fan so I won’t be returning if you understand my point. I’ve had better elsewhere, more importantly I hope you’re well and having a wonderful week ❤️❤️🌹
That's the sort of business lunch where nobody goes back to the office afterwards... Everybody goes home to sleep it off!
A huge sleep would be needed after this Martin
Those big green chillies are always gonna be spicy Gary.
But their business lunch offering definitely looks good. 😋♥️
I am an absolute Muppet ❤️
@@GaryEats Haha! Ah no you’re not! 😃😃
Great video Gary as always!.. The lunch seems much better value for money compared to the evening meal prices, but i heard in the evenings it has more a of party vibe and celebrity hang out! The mayfair branch looks good too, and i think they also have special lunch deal, definately might try out the lunch menu but i agree the dinner menu is very expensive and hard to justify.
Thank you for the information, Sally. I won’t be going back in the evening though.
Managed to watch your review Gary nursing an awful chest infection so not up to much! Very pretty plate of food and wonderful for your gut! Thanks Gary. X
I hope you get better very very soon Sarah. Please take care of yourself yourself. Xx
Great post as always ❤ much love as ever 🎉
Thank you very much James
I love that old pickup truck in the back. It is perfect.
I agree with you
Hi Gary, another great video, Great presentation and the food looked delicious, a bit pricey though.
It was expensive and thank you very much, Vince
Great video, as usual. The Presentation of the food was amazing. The lunch menu price is reasonable but the main menu is a complete rip off. Pretentious surroundings and cost with a lack of substance. The cost of ingredients does not warrant the main meal prices.
I do agree with you the evening menu is simply too expensive
Birds of a feather 🪶 love an old school reference Gary . Scran looks good 👍. Best reviews on UA-cam sir
Thank you very much, David
Take off the veg that’s been through the shopping channel veg Matic you’ve a length of meat a small bowl of rice and a few dips , be good value at £19 there’s absolutely minimum prep just presentation , , all
Looked really nice , 👍
Thank you very much, Gary
At a minute and a bit in, the astroturf and ridiculous statues tell me all I need to know about this as a northerner.
@Metallex: Hello, fellow Northener!
I can't say it would be my usual
Yep, style over substance. As a Machester lad , a careful Christian. It's not for me 😂
Lunch prices Yes evening prices forget it, no matter how good it looks😳
Think about it as being a Theme Park with outstanding food. Probably about the same price and value?
Chigwell is full of people with more than sense, which is basically what restaurants like this rely on
Thank you Robert
Hi Gary
Core, this looks like a swanky place I only been to one Turkish restaurant. I was very impressed. But this place is on another level. I think the wagyu beef is for me personally But very impressed with the lunchtime menu Definitely prepared to a high standard and lots of quality love the garden and setting as well
And was definitely a healthy portion Excellent video Gary as usual 👍
Thank you very much, John
@@GaryEats 👍
Hi my friend I want to share my good news with you it’s been 10 years cancer free even though my path is full of pain in other areas of my body through my disability’s and more surgery’s to follow on other parts of my body I am truly grateful to not have this disease anymore yes I’ve lost parts of my body but that does not matter last surgery I’ve had to have a stoma bag fitted which was a very painful surgery in itself but your smile and vlogs are so lovely to watch and I enjoy looking forward to all the nice or not nice food you try take care and looking forward to your next vlog 😊
You are a star Michelle, well done and please accept my best wishes! Thank you
@@GaryEats thankyou for your kind words 💗
Two restaurants you should try down at Walton on the Naze, Whites Pie and Mash Shop and The Lara Turkish Kebab restaurant, a lot cheaper than Sheesh and the food is amazing. 👍🏻
Thank you for the recommendations, Lenny
Great review Gal the biz menu sounds great! But @ full price Lamb chops 59 squiddles... Lamb shish 49 squiddles... Chicken Shish 39 squiddles....
Sheesh are taking the Peesh!
Thank you very much mate and yes you're spot on
A whole lamb, butchered and ready for freezing, is around £200. Their evening prices are an absolute rip off.
Enjoyed that, thanks Gary.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting
Sheesh OH MY! That looked delightful and so fresh!. Fantastic review as always! Thanks Gary ❤
Thank you very much ❤️
Fab review as always Gary.I love black olives.I think its great value for £30 .The presentation was very very good .Two people could easily share that .Keep up the fab reviews ,and both keep safe .
Thank you very much it’s really appreciated Glyn
Thank you for an enlighting and interesting peek into Sheesh 👍
The interior decor looked a bit tasteless to be honest. The platter of veggies was impressive, I'd have enjoyed munching my way through that.
It is a place to be seen Rosie a bit of style over substance ❤️
Those mains looked amazing , business lunch pretty good value .
Spot on Alan!! Very fair value for lunch
I used to go there when it was the Kings Head. Lovely pub back in the day
So I understand some other comments, Steve
Great review Gary, thanks again. Turkish food is my favourite because it’s not only delicious but aesthetically really pleasing. I thought for what you got, £30 was quite reasonable for the lunch, but everything else ridiculously expensive. The food looked real quality and a lovely place as well. 8/10 for me 👍
Thank you very much that’s really appreciated
Love Gary’s reviews simple honest and on a real level keep up the great work Gary
Thank you very much as always, Dean
Chigwell ¬ Pumped up prices everywhere
Other restaurants in the area are not too bad. Sheesh always been higher.
It is an expensive area, Mandy
"Forget the chilli."
Barry The Baptist providing the voice-over!
Very funny...
Gary, I think the word you’re looking for is not ‘bling’, it’s ‘chavvy’. The evening menu is Mayfair prices, and if you know Chigwell then you’ll know that Mayfair it certainly ain’t. I go past this restaurant a lot, and it’s full of the TOWIE lot and Essex wannabe gangsters. Even if the food is excellent, the gaudy and tasteless decor is enough to put me off. But thanks for reviewing a restaurant that’s actually close to me for once. Cheers, mate!
They've opened a Mayfair restaurant, too.
Pretentious lot.
I don’t understand your points completely, it is a place to be seen that’s for sure
@@louiseanderson1505 I don't think you could describe the TOWIE mob as pretentious. None of them could spell it for a start. I think the term,brassy fits them better.
Hi Gary, my brother has gone to Sheesh several times - special occasions - and always liked the food and the ambience. Those dishes looked good. Thank you, and continue to have a great week !
That is fantastic to hear, Michael
What a lovely looking place this is, slightly expensive but what lovely tasty food, lot's of lovely colours. And the flavours looked like they were good, excellent video as always Gary.
I don't think I've ever tried Turkish food, but it looks delicious
HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU NOT OF TRIED TURKISH FOOD? WHERE DO YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK? LOL
Try Turkish if you also try something called Ezme, sort of salad with warm bread….wow😮
No problem, Trevor if you ever get the chance, give it a go
Sound advice, go during the day for the better value business lunch to avoid the high price main menu whilst also avoiding the wannabe's and z-list celebs that turn up in the evening. 😃
That is very good advice
Gary, much respect for responding to every comment on UA-cam. How much time does it take you, on average? Best food reviewer out here🙏🙏🙏
That is very kind to say Barry, it takes me about 12 hours, but I don’t mind as I appreciate everyone watching and commenting 👍👍
@@GaryEats thank you. I will keep pushing the like button before watching👍👍
A very fair review as usual. I worked there as a student from 1965 when it was the Kings Head. Then owned by the Newtons, who had a DB5; it did a roaring trade. Now owned by Alan Sugar at least it is still standing.
Thank you very much and thank you for the information, Tony
Gary, you are a hero for eating food which cannot retain its heat while you describe your surroundings and the food itself. I 'm sure that your palate is good and I hope that your digestion remains robust. Salute.
Thank you very much, Chris
Oh the price is fine my fine people,just watching this while taking a bit of sun at my maldives island home,the siberian caviar is not the best today but needs must,must dash as i have a new lambo just coming to the dock 😂 great vid gary
Thank you very much, Stewart, I hope you have a fantastic holiday day
Let's be honest the ingredients on the main cost them about £5 total. Turkish food is nice but massively overpriced for a bit of meat and salad.
That is a very good point, Ricky
Gary, I really don’t know how you accommodate the volume of food served up, I’ve put on 30lbs watching you consume £30 worth…..Eastern Med restaurants, Lebanese, Syrian or Turkish have always been so generous with their portions…..the food looked fantastic!
I am very careful what I eat when I’m not doing a review Mark
I think that I would agree with you Gary, I would certainly be happy popping in for lunch at those prices but I'd be reluctant to go for an evening meal. I have to say that it did look delicious though. Thanks for the video guys. Cheers.
This is definitely one not to have the evening meal, simply overpriced
you know you are doing something right when you load up UA-cam and it's just Gary that's recommended to watch, it's honestly so good watching your videos and being apart of the channels growth. Looking forward to the next one.
That’s so kind to say, and I really appreciate you always watching and being so supportive Declan
Forget the chilli that had me! So glad to discover your channel. Obviously really late to your channel but working my way through your videos! Genuine nice reviewer and great content. Well done to you!
I really appreciate you watching so many videos thank you very much
129 for steak with truffles - ' give it a go'!
or a keebab!!
Never in a million years lol
I can’t understand how they justify charging £30 for a bit of truffle,I worked in a top 5 star restaurant,and real truffles are such a strong taste you need very little on the dish,and they said truffle,but didn’t specify if that was real white truffle,black truffle (cheaper) truffle butter,or oil.😊
Olives... I prefer black myself. Nice presentation and colours, but then you'd expect that for the price. Glad you enjoyed it (minus the chilli!)
kalamata 4 me
More of a green olive guy, meself.
I did enjoy this one, but a lot of salad on this occasion, not sure this is my style of restaurant Siobhan ❤️🌹🇦🇺
@@GaryEats It's not really my style either though I do like a nice salad
Looked very good value for £30 considering.
It's strange how bronze cutlery seems to have gone out of fashion nowadays because it does indeed look like gold .
Thanks for another great review.
maybe because of the many people with nickel allergy who would object to be given Bronze Cutlery. Nickel Allergi is one of the most common forms of allergy
Thank you Rob, but the cutlery was a bit unnecessary in my opinion
Many a good deal has been made over the "business lunch" at Sheesh normally importing from the Netherlands and I'm not talking bout tulips but another plant (I'm jkin oc) 😂 great review Gaz as always 👍 keep up the good work, road to 150 subz.
Another one Gary, I used to work literally 3 minutes walk away from this place, Mr Sugar lives near to where I worked, also my Leyton Orient have their training ground close by too. The story I heard is, Sheesh was based elsewhere and Lord Sugar offered them to move to this location you are at in the video as it was a favourite of Lord Sugars. Before you ask, no I have never been there to eat, as you noticed, it is a bit expensive.
I see, thank you for the info
No, really? Literally 3 minutes' walk away? Literally?! Really actually LITERALLY?!?! LITERALLY?! Not figuratively? Thanks for clearing up that potential source of confusion for us all.
Gary, you were sweating more looking at their menu than when you had the Phaal!
I realised... I didn't belong Alex lol
I had to laugh when you bit into that green pimento. Your reaction was classic Gary! I use pimento regularly in my cooking, being on the edge of Basque country. They turn from green to red, and become hotter and sweeter: hotter still when they dry out and shrivel.
Don't we all 😉🤣🤣🤣
Looks good, but most on that plate is sliced and diced 'salad', which is so ridiculously cheap for restaurants to provide. Or do they grow their own? Your work is always brilliant and so civilised. Puds do look yummy though! Thank you, you never disappoint us.❤
Thank you very much my friend
Is your great camerman-son as lovely as you? I hope he always eats as well as you do! Does he ever decline the rubbish stuff you try for us?😅l@GaryEats
He's a pain in the backside lol!!
😂@@GaryEats
I would recommend the Sussex fish bar near Paddington station, really lovely staff, really good prices! Especially for London, would love to see you review it
Thank you for the recommendation
When you buy mixed grills in the UAE, you get all the meat served on bread - it's one of the best bits, but needs to be eaten warm.
Great vid.
PS, A kilo of mixed meat, lamb and chicken usually, costs around 25quid here, and you get bread, pickles, salad etc. - lasts me (as a single guy,) 4 days!
That is amazing value Michael
It used to be a pub named The Kings Head but alas like most boozers these days... A listed building it's said that Dickens knew it well & renamed it the Maypole in his novel Barnaby Rudge. I believe Alan Sugar has a vested interest in Sheesh, he lives a stone's throw away & can afford it more than me. Does look good, I'll start saving!!!
Thank you for the information, Jay
