Shish Meze Hornchurch is a Turkish restaurant and bar on Berther Road in Hornchurch, right beside Emerson Park station. It has been serving traditional Turkish food since 2013 and is one of the busiest Turkish dining rooms in Havering, with a polished, smart-casual feel and a full cocktail bar.
The menu combines classic meze and charcoal grills with a few modern touches. Expect cacık, hummus and baba ganoush to start, then içli köfte, sucuk, Adana, lamb ribs and pistachio-crusted lamb chops from the grill, plus signature mains such as beef çökertme and sarma beyti. A shish sharing platter feeds four to five.
Alongside the à la carte there are lunch, dessert and Sunday roast menus and a bottomless brunch, so it works for a weekday lunch, a birthday dinner or a weekend group outing.
