I recently dined at The Generals Shish with a friend on Sunday 09/07/23 and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant was exceptionally clean and the owner, known as 'the General', was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and assisting me in selecting dishes. The food was absolutely delicious - the Lahmacun reminded me of my trips to Turkey and the Beity chicken was flavorful. Not only was the food outstanding, but it was also very reasonably priced (much cheaper than similar restaurants in Ipswich). I highly recommend visiting this place as you will be pleasantly surprised by the welcoming hosts, great food, and affordable prices. Thank you for a truly enjoyable dining...

We celebrated my husbands 40th yesterday! It was a great place to host our family of 35, we spoke to the manager ‘general’ he was really helpful and gave me suggestions on what to order so it was all pre-arranged. The food was tasty and the whole party was a great turn out. The staff and chef all worked very hard to make it a memorial evening! The cake was brought in and we took pictures and enjoyed the whole evening. I have eaten there a few times previously, and it’s always been great tasty food. I would highly recommend this place for any occasion, friends, family couples also even takeouts. Thank you to the The Generals Shish! Team Manager for the fantastic hard work. See you soon. Defo...

The General is a lovely restaurant located in a quiet area of Essex. I stumbled upon it while on a business trip and now make it a point to visit every time I am in the area. They serve delicious Doner Kebab on a wooden plate with flavorful chicken and rice, topped off with freshly chopped lemon and onions. I always pair my meal with a refreshing glass of orange juice with ice. The food is simple yet presented with elegance. The manager is friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I have already suggested The General to a few friends - it's definitely worth a visit.

The service here was not great, but at least it was better than the food. Nothing like a real Turkish restaurant, this one appears to be owned by Asians. The lack of authenticity certainly shows in the food. The calamari starter was four calamari rings, working out at over £1 a ring. The bread was stale and the dips and salad measly. The platter we ordered was very poorly presented and the food quality was poor. The Adana joffe was super salty. The lamb and chicken was nothing short of cremated and the doner barely cooked. Total waste of time and money, please avoid. Book a table now

A brilliant evening, wonderful food and staff, General came and greeted us while at the table and spoke with passion for the food, he set a high standard by the way he spoke, once the food arrived we were not disappointed the food was divine. General was not wrong and could tell all the staff work with the same passion. Everyone who was dining seemed very happy and the atmosphere here is joyous. We will certainly be returning to this venue.

On 22nd June 2023 students and staff from Horizons department of Barking Dagenham College had a first class lunch at the Generals Shish. We had a Chicken and Lamb Platter, and the Generals own special platter. The food was wonderful, full of flavour fantastic, enjoyed by all. The General and his men looked after us all and threw in some chips for free. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts we will be back!

Had a lovely evening at generals shish. Food was amazing , service excellent. The restaurant was full and the atmosphere was really good but as busy as the staff were they were still extremely attentive and friendly. The perfect place for a family celebration or quiet meal for two! Would definitely recommend! Also very reasonable on price .

The owner provided excellent service, the food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long. We ordered the mixed grill platter and it was definitely worth it. The staff was very conscientious and the price matched the quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant. Book a table now

Food is extremely good. The lamb shank I'm particular is a great dish. General accommodation from staff is very good and very welcoming. Will be going back there regularly.
