Shrimp Bisque review by Koryalanus at Sushi-Şah restaurant, Başakşehir/İstanbul, Türkiye
8.11

About the place: First of all, let me say it was a unique experience. Initially, the welcome at the restaurant was good. Unfortunately, there's no physical menu available, so you order via QR code, and the order is ready in 15 minutes. You can also eat in private, conservative areas for families if you wish (I wish I had chosen this place to hide my experience with the sticks ;-; ) About the soup: - I chose the soup on the recommendation of our waiter. When it first arrived, it was quite hot, and as soon as I dipped my spoon in, I knew something good was coming from the light fish and spice aroma. And when I took my first spoonful, oh my God, it was amazing! The intense fish and spices are blended in a way I can't even describe. It's very clear they added tomato sauce, which partially dominates the soup's flavor and blends beautifully with the fish. I take a second spoonful, and a large shrimp shell falls into my spoon, and when I put it in my mouth, I can't quite get enough of the initial enthusiasm (the chefs know better than me, but perhaps it would have been softer if it had been cooked over low heat for a longer period instead of high heat). Another negative point is that the bread, a true symbol of Turkishness, was unfortunately not included with the soup, and in my opinion, it would have suited this soup perfectly. I hope the restaurant also sells fish soup as a standalone dish. As a soup fan, I definitely recommend trying it. Overall, it's a unique taste, with both its positive and negative aspects.
