Shook is a great place to dine! The interiors are very earthy and rustic and the space has a very traditional market vibe to it! Their selection of music is really ambient and complementary with the interior design.The food is delicious - well presented and flavourful. I had stuffed olives, pita bread-muhammara and wild mushroom kreplach. Everything so good! The pita bread was fresh out of the oven and it was very soft! The open style kitchen is such a pleasure to watch and waiting for food never felt boring! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to try Middle East inspired cuisine!

Sooo good! The pita was fresh from the oven, shakshuka was delicious, the cocktails are just perfectly done, good service, comfortable chairs and great atmosphere with the open kitchen

Delicious vegetarian dishes, great ambient. It gets really busy on weekend nights, so make sure to book your table ahead of time.

It's been a while since I last did a review but this place was great! It's not always easy to find a brunch place that takes reservations and this one would be worth the wait even if it didn't. The shakshouka was amazing but it's the fresh pita that it comes with that really elevates it!You don't even realize it's vegetarian because every dish is so well done and balanced.

Phenomenal brunch spot! Would definitely recommend the poached eggs (the pita is so fluffy and delicious) and the pancakes to share for the table. The Butterfly Pea latte was a great option if you don’t drink coffee.

I was here on Friday evening with 2 friends for dinner. The ambiance of not just the restaurant but also the vibe of the area is perfect for Fri/Sat evening. Both patio and indoor seating were lovely. Talking about customer service of waiters, it was good. They will patiently give you their recommendations from the menu and serve you with all the warmth.I ordered Hummus Dip in appetizers. It comes along with Pita bread. Pita bread was a good surprise element as it had sesame seeds on top of it and its texture was top-notch. Hummus was flavoursome too.In mains, I ordered Shakshouka and I personally won’t recommend it. First it was served cold and they reheated it on request. Secondly, It was too tomato-ey that I couldn’t even taste eggs and no other flavour could come through. I couldn’t finish it.My friend ordered Eggplant Schnitzel for her main and I tried a couple of bites. Definitely much better than Shakshouka.Prices are on higher end as without drinks and hummus appetizer shared among three, the bill was approx $30.Not sure about visiting again.

Amazing vibe and delicious food. They had a disco ball and DJ playing top 80s music, which made for a fun atmosphere.Highly recommend the shrimps, mushroom dumplings, lamb kafta, pita w/ hummus ... basically all the dishes we had were delish.

I went for dinner here with my friends. It is a good place for vegeterian food. We ordered a dip for combined appetizer and separate orders for dinner. The bread that came with appetizer was just out of this world. Really soft and full of flavour. I ordered the eggplant schnitzel for my main. It was really tasty. Serving size was also pretty good. Looking at my friends food serving size looked pretty good as well and they liked their order as well. Customer service was also pretty good. I think the only small thing was that the food was a little pricey for being vegetarian food. But I guess because of the ambience and location this much price is expected.

By far, one of the most outstanding dining experiences I have had in a very long time. In fact, I have stopped dining out, especially since Covid because the food quality in most establishments has diminished considerably. As I have owned my own catering company for years, I am quite a discerning customer. Last evening was an epicurean delight to say the least.The food was exceptional in every aspect starting from the creativity, visual presentation and finally the taste. Each dish was better than the last. The servers were friendly and quite knowledgeable aswell, adding to our dining experience.My only regret was that we dined on the patio rather than indoors. I had an opportunity to go inside and was equally impressed by the open kitchen and the beauty of the decor, simply stunning.My only suggestion is that the patio needs to be beautified to capture the true essence of your establishment. It definitely does not have the curb appeal to have drawn me in, given I drive by at least four times a week. Had it not been for a friend who insisted we have dinner at Shook, I was not at the least bit curious given the lack of curve appeal. First impressions are powerful attractors.Anyhow, I rarely write reviews unless I am blown away by the whole dining experience and this one definitely deserved my time!!Congratulations from start to finish and for those considering where to spend your hard earned dollars, this is definitely the place!Prepare to be AMAZED!!Your raving fan, Eleni.

This restaurant is in a very hip area and the interior was very nice. The music was quite loud and we had to speak at the top of our voice in order to be able to hear each other at the table.We ordered the Sangria which was 40 bucks for 4 servings and it was a tiny jar. It was overpriced for the amount.We ordered the Mutabal and it only comes with 1 bread. Since we were 5 at the table, we ordered 4 more and each piece of bread was $3. That’s also over priced. The dip is quite a good portion and tasted very good but the dip to bread proportion was not proportional.For the main course, I ordered the dumplings and I did not like the taste. It was $22 and I couldn’t get through the whole meal. My friend ordered the shakshuka which was oily. The eggplant schnitzel was good and a big portion.My total bill came up to over $50 and I don’t think it was a great bang for the buck.
