We dined on a Monday evening and it was busy! I recommend booking but we were able to secure a table for 6 as a walk in when arriving at 5:15pm. They apparently only book up 50% and the other half is reserved for walk ins.
Food was tasty, a good selection of mezze and mains. The timing of dishes coming out could be improved. Our lamb took a bit of time to arrive and was the last dish out, it would have been nice to enjoy it with the rest of the meal. During the meal we ordered a pita bread per person which was too much as we didn’t realise the lamb dish came with bread also. The lemon tart and ice cream were my favourite desserts. Unfortunately, they only serve filter coffee, which I returned as it came out luke warm.
Definitely worth trying and the decor and atmosphere is excellent.
I have walked past Kisa quite a few times since it opened and it seemed very classy as well as good enough to be always busy. I didn’t really know more than that though, not even what cuisine it was . So when we were walking around looking at options we thought we’d see if they had a table. The staff were super friendly straight away and said that while they didn’t have a table, we could sit up at the benches. We decided why not. Then we surveyed loads of delicious looking food come out of kitchen before deciding on a starting dip with flat bread and 3 sharing plates. It all tasted great, although we wish we’d gone for the chickpea dip instead of the muhammara. The lamb kebabs were sensational. Only other thing we wished was that the sharing plates came out together.
Overall though we felt so well looked after and checked in on. The decor was also so light and friendly. Definitely a top tier dining experience.

This restaurant was incredible! We ordered Fattoush Salad, Goat Lahmacun, and a Mezze Flank Steak for lunch. Each dish tasted delicious. The salad was refreshing, the goat was flavourful, and the steak went so well with the hummus and tomatoes that came with it. For two people it was super filling and a really memorable meal. ☺️
Great Night out. Enjoyed the various mezzes and lamb for our main. Fantastic waiters who kept our glasses full of sparkling water all.evening, topped off with a lemon tart, another star of the meal!. Bravo Kisa!!
The restaurant has been decorated very tastefully in a Mediterranean/Moroccan style with very cool tiles in a similar tone. We were greeted at the door and asked to sit at the bar while we waited for our table. Once seated, the service was very good and attentive. The waitress was able to explain what some of the foreign ingredients were on the menu.
The atmosphere was busy and vibey. We were lucky to get a table, as usually it’s very full.
The meals are all about sharing, so for starters between the 3 of us we had the Muhammara & pita bread, which was a few different style dips that looked like babaganoush and tasted divine. Then we had Mozzarella Boreks (or sticks), which were a bit small but very nice.
For mains we shared the Lamb Urfa (lamb kebabs), Grilled Cabbage and Pan-fried Market Fish. All were amazing and very tasty. For dessert we all had the lemon tart, which is great.
Each main dish was on the slightly pricier side for what you get, but unfortunately that can be said for most restaurants these days. Otherwise, I can highly recommend this restaurant and I would love to go back there.
