The Shell Holborn

I have enjoyed a very good value deal, with the use of Groupon promotion. Picking the hot seafood platter, we have enjoyed a wide range of seafood, including lobster🦞, prawns 🦐 , oysters 🦪 , octopus 🐙, clams The customer service was quite good, and we appreciate the service provided by Victor and Angel, very helpful from ordering, packing and takeaway arrangements. Highly recommend to try !!!

We came because we saw the huge platter through the window. We had no reservation but were seated immediately. The vast selections on the menu took a few minutes to peruse. My husband chose the sirloin and lobster. I asked the waiter how good the chef prepared salmon. I’m from the Pacific Northwest (USA) and I’m picky about how my salmon is prepared. I want moist, flaky salmon. He assured me it would be. We also ordered shrimp cocktail which we asked to be served first. After some time it came to the table followed immediately by the main meal. That was my only complaint. My salmon was cooked perfectly and I sent my compliments to the chef. The steak and lobster were also cooked correctly. My potatoes had a slight almost smoky flavor that added to the experience. The restaurant filled and it seemed everyone was happy with their selection. So many ordered the large platter of seafood.

The dining experience was so great. The food was superb. The portion is so huge that the mussel casserole is a lot for 2 pax. We can't finish half portion and have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. The chargrilled octupus legs were so good too. Amazed by how tender it was. I would love to give some credit to the server Akin. He is such a nice and funny guy. He gave some great recommendations on food choices. I had so much fun with him tonight!

Wanted to share my wonderful experience here. Service was excellent, attentive and polite - thank you for taking care of my partner and I. Food was great, we got a big platter and was told not to order anymore as this was enough and thankfully we listened as we have a habit of over ordering. Choco brownie and free ice cream was delicious - satisfied all my cravings. Definitely a place we shall return and recommend.
