We eat there a lot. Good value. Our children love it. The mixed meze (they do a veggy one too) at 7.50 to serve two people is very good and we also like the borek, the grilled halloumi. I'm a veggy but Mr F enjoys the mixed grill thingy.


Puddings are disappointing though and it's something like ?3.50 for two little pastries!

I do like it..



..& the meat is lean & tender. Cooked over charcoal, tastes authentic. As for the pitta, it lets it down, very average, try harder

However, the Humous is bland, cardboardy & flavourless. It lacks texture, plus they should make it them selves as a house special, even charge a premium & I'd happily pay for it but don't fob me off with that mush & expect a smile

The "Taramosalata" is on the same parallel. It's cheap bucket bought fatty gloop, over salted, even gummy. Really it's an insult to it's roots & better quality is easily available

Lastly, the fat in the chip fryers is bitter & cheap, change it to clean rapeseed oil & the whole taste will improve ( not to mention my arteries )

In short.....


"Hisar" is good but could easily be soooo much better.


It's tough-love as I do love you. I just don't like some of the things you do

* someone work out the mean average, I can't as I'm fanning myself with a polystyrene container lid *

My and my partner went there a few weeks ago. It was really nice. The staff are polite. I am a massive halloumi fan, and there's was spot on. The mixed grills could feed two in my experience. Worth the money I believe... I'd advise anyone to at least try it. I know alot of people who use Hisar regularly and never have a bad word to say.

Have never had a bad meal at the Hisar, and the service is good too.


They do a set meal - you can choose meat, fish or veggy based - which is extraordinarily good value, large range of cold starters, hot starters, main dishes ..... we were full after the cold starters but if I remember right they gave us doggy bags :))

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
