Went to Isis on Friday night (15th Feb) as a day-after-valentines-day dinner with the girlfriend. Thought it was more of a restaurant than club... Food was alright - nothing special though, and for the price expected a lot more. Service was good, although the waiter should've pointed out that the mains came with no veges. A plate of meat gets a bit boring half way through! Also, room was freezing cold. Might be good as a club, but don't waste money to eat there - way overpriced.

I took my wife to Isis for Valentine's Day for a romantic dinner. It was our first time and we were very impressed when we entered the restaurant. Service was friendly and the decor and atmosphere was very warm and romantic. It was a set menu for Valentines and the starters were very tasty. We were not overly impressed with the main course though. Nevertheless it was very romantic, until they provided us with a bellydancing show where the music was too loud, which spoilt our mood.

I had dinner at Isis for my wedding aniversary. The food was good, even though my husband had chicken a bit on the burnt side. We were a bit dissapointed that there was no dessert menu available. The atmosphere was non-existant. We were the only customers in the restaurant from 8 o'clock until we left two hours late. I don't think we would be back.

isis was empty when we were there (early january) . still ambience cosy due to lighting and layout of tables in large alcoves. seating about 8. tables were same height as seating and made it difficult, i found, to eat mezze. husband from middle east he found it easy. kibbeh, hommos and small susages highly recommended, tabouleh a bit disappointing. main course, shared, lamb fillet perfect. the overall very good impession may have been due to empty restaurant.

Overall, my friends and I had a good night. The place is lovely inside and mezze plates were large/good for sharing. Service wasn't that great. I was messed about with where I could sit at the start. There was a Xmas party so we ate in the lounge area with very small table and low seatings, not what I was expecting. Then the place turned into club at 11pm, which I managed to sweet talk the waiter into letting us stay despite not getting the £40 fixed menu.

On 14/12/2007 we had our xmas party at Isis. Staff were very helpful and service was great. Food was surprisingly good for a club. belly dancer was enjoyed by all! After dinner it turned into a club. Music was good but with a heavy beat.. Everyone had a great time. Atmosphere was friendly, happy! Well worth it. i would definitely go there again..

the restaurant, aside from the good food and ambience, had excellent entertainment that made the meal much more enjoyable

We had a very pleasant evening dinning at Isis. I thought the service was excellent and the food very good. 3 people from our group are Egyptian and are therefore very familiar with this type of cuisine. We all rated the experience highly and would be happy to recommend it.

Food at Isis is excellent. For anyone who's been there before, the Toptable menu has changed considerably and the price hasn't changed accordingly! 4 starters, and a main course with some coffee and Baklawa is expensive even for £23pp (as it is with the discount.) That said, the ambience is very romantic and the food is delicious: meat tender and all very tasty. I did get fobbed off with an espresso when ordering a Lebanese coffee, so you have to keep your wits about you!
