Book NowAbout La Shish Lebanese Restaurant
La Shish turns Guildford Rd into a lively Lebanese banquet hall, where skewered meats sizzle over live tabletop charcoal grills. Locals gather around heaping platters of crispy cheese sambousek, garlicky labneh, and slow-cooked mansaf. Daytime brings the sprawling Sultan’s Platter—stacked with fried sucuk, shakshuka, and warm bread alongside bottomless hot tea. Celebratory family tables fill the room with shared plates, cold lemon-and-mint drinks, and freshly baked flatbread straight to the table.

- Sultan’s Halal Brunch: A dedicated daytime banquet packed with sucuk, eggs, shakshuka, velvety dips, and complimentary hot tea.
