Shishbourne brings a taste of glitz and glam to Broxbourne

If you are looking for a restaurant with that wow factor, then Shishbourne in Broxbourne will fit the bill.

Formerly known as Mezzom, this Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant, which opened under its new name recently on Broxbourne High Road, has had a complete refurbishment, transforming it inside and out. The restaurant has been opened up to provide a seamless dining area leading to the open kitchen at the back, with new décor, lighting, flooring, tables and chairs that give it a plush and luxurious feel.

The liberal use of marble and gold-effect certainly shouts glitz and glam and if you’re after some pictures that will look good on Instagram, you can’t go far wrong!

But it’s not all about the looks. The food menu, together with a big emphasis on cocktails, also plays its part in offering a dining experience to remember.

The a la carte menu features a large number of popular starters and mains, with chicken wings and lamb chops, lamb shish, chicken shish and adana kofte for example, but also a few unexpected little gems, such as a Wagyu mini burger with half of lobster (£24).

And there is a selection of steaks and seafood to choose from.

Vegetarians are catered for, with mains including falafels and a vegetable and halloumi casserole too.

There is live entertainment every weekend, on Friday and Saturday evenings, with singers, musicians or belly dancers.

However, the focus is not totally on the weekends, as there are two great offers for dining in during the week as well.

The first is a bottomless dinner menu from Monday to Thursday from 6pm, when you can enjoy a three-course meal and unlimited Prosecco or wine for just £32.50 per person.

There is also a set lunch menu with two courses for £11.95 from Monday to Friday between 12noon and 3.30pm. Both offer genuine value. Shishbourne is open seven days week, from 12noon, and there is free parking outside.
