Loved this joint - Edit
Was in town for a conference and blew off a dinner with a vendor because it was at a steakhouse (live in the now, vendor!). I was feeling a little sad and alone and not sure where I would eat and ended up here. What a delight! The menu is not extensive, but was just what I needed. I got the cauliflower bowl and was not sad. I look forward to popping in again next time I’m in town!

Will be coming back - Edit
Got the mushroom shawarma. The oyster mushrooms mimic meat so that carnivores wouldn't know they were eating vegan. Service was great, and my name on the ticket was correctly spelled. Bills itself as modern Israeli street food.

Amazing - Edit
First time trying Shouk. The restaurant has limited seating, but I got there early and was able to get a seat. The people there are very nice and quick to give suggestions. I ended up getting the mushroom shawarma bowl and I couldn’t have made a better selection. This was AMAZING. I was so sad when it was over. I will definitely come back.

Download the app. You’ll get a free menu item. I got the eggplant sandwich. It weighs a minimum 5 lbs. it’s absolutely delicious too. Great music. Great environment. Fast service. Friendly staff. Will return again

Absolutely delicious food - Edit
When reading reviews for this place we knew we had to stop by. I can’t stop raving about it! We got the mushroom shawarma and the burger. Both were packed with flavor and incredibly feeling for a decent price. If you’re looking for a great and hearty meal, come here!

Great eggplant burger - Edit
Small restaurant with fresh Israeli food. Enjoyed a salad bowl with an eggplant burger. Lemon date balls for dessert! A bit slow but worth the wait.

Loved it! - Edit
All vegan and all delicious! There was a line out the door during a conference at the nearby convention center but the line moved quickly & food came out relatively quickly. Please note, you can order your food in advance through their app, and in the actual restaurant you can order on their computer touch screen (to the right when you come in the door) or wait in the line and order from a person. The app is very handy too for pick up.

I’m picky about Falafel - AMAZING - Edit
I’m very picky about my falafel, having traveled to the Middle East a bunch. This was AMAZING - fresh ingredients, high quality pita, crispy falafel that wasn’t dry on the inside (hard to do), perfect portion size, and perfect falafel per square inch ratio 🤓 I was there for lunch rush hour and they were a well oiled machine
Read morePros: Great falafel
Cons: Expensive French fries

Tasty, fast food style, best for lunch/takeaway. - Edit
Offers pittas/wraps, salads and several sides. Good quality for the price. Not a place for special meal. Tasty, filling, healthy fast food.

Shawarma so good! - Edit
The mushroom shawarma pita is amazeballs — add harissa if you like spicy. Ooh and the cardamon chocolate chip cookies is also yum. It’s soft and just the right sized after meal snack so that you don’t feel guilty.

Wonderful Food - Edit
I've eaten from Shouk at least a dozen times. Israeli vegan fast casual delight. One of the best vegan spots in D.C. My favorite is the Shouk Burger. Highly recommend.

Outstanding, Hands down - Edit
I had some of the best falafel that I've ever tasted here. My boyfriend and I both got falafel in a pita with hummus. I added cauliflower; he added mushroom shawarma. I'm not sure what the green sauce was called, but definitely try it. The harissa sauce was good, but we agreed that the falafel pita already had enough flavors going on and that the spiciness kind of masked the flavor. We shared polenta fries. Everything we got was outstanding. The portions are an excellent value for the price. Neither of us finished our pita in one sitting, and we came in ravenously hungry. You order by touchscreen which was user friendly and easy to navigate. That way, you don't have to deal with iffy service from a cashier, which I'm finding is more and more common. The ladies making the food were professional and efficient. There is lots of seating both inside and out. Overall, there's nothing negative I have to say. Perfect experience.

Amazing food - Edit
I had the mushroom shawarma and falafel pita pockets and they were both amazing. the shawarma was super rich and meaty whereas the falafel was light and refreshing and packed with seasoning and veggies. most things come in brown paper packaging but i wish instead of plastic they'd use metal for sauce/dressing. other than that the price was reasonable and food was high quality.

Delicious vegan take on Israeli food - Edit
I had the omelette and went back for the mushrooms shawarma as I wanted to taste more of their delicious recipes. Both were very tasteful and I really like the way they present their food. Staff was extremely nice and courteous. Can’t wait for Shouk to open in Miami (hopefully the owner reads the reviews on Happy Cow). Forgot to mention that the cashew labne (I thought I would never eat labne again in my life) was incredible.
Read morePros: Very tasteful , Original recipes , Great staff

Unforgettable vegan food - Edit
Had one of their delicious black bean burgers + sweet potato fries and amazing cashew labneh (far tastier than the dairy version). It was so delicious that I also grabbed a takeaway falafel, some lemon power balls and a chocolate chip cookie! I also had a long chat with some friendly omnivores who had stopped in for a healthy meal and were loving the food too. Really memorable!

Awesome pita and falafel - Edit
I have to be honest, while I expected this place to be good, I did not expect it to be as good as it was! The mushroom shawarma pita was outstanding! Great value, incredible taste, very well put together! I also got a side of falafel and they were also so so tasty! Heading back tomorrow to try the breakfast option!

Shouk delivers vegan food that’s delicious, quick, and budget-friendly. My go-to order is the falafel or mushroom shawarma over lentils and rice.

Really good food, a lot of options, always fresh and tasty!
Read moreSitting is very cozy, with tables inside and outside (for warm weather) and always attracts many visitors.
People working there are very friendly and go out of their way to help you.
During one of my lunch visits I lost my ring and they helped me find it, refusing to take any tips and just being genuinely kind.
The food and the place will make you happy for a day!
Pros: very tasty food, cozy sitting with inside and outside options, friendly staff
