Great casual restaurant

I don't think I'd ever had this type of cuisine before and the spices caught me off guard in terms of their flavour, but it was a good experience. The interiors are cool too!

Great Mediterranean Vegan!

Very small restaurant with quick service and fantastic vegan options! You can order online and through a kiosk, and even in a busy lunch hour, food was put together quick. Great quality of food and different choices of different spicy tahini and vegan mayo options!

Pros: Sandwich or bowl options!, Great quality and flavor!, Outdoor seating available

Cons: Limited choices for indoor seating

Everything was great. Kids loved…the French fries

Nice vegan restaurant near Chinatown DC. Felt a little bit like fast food, but great flavors.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

I unfortunately didn't take any pictures cause I was too hungry and excited. It was really delicious. I feel like it's hard to find good vegan food in the states but this is an absolute gem. Made my heart happy. My non vegan partner also loved it.

Pros: Fried Oyster mushrooms were seasoned very well!, Loved the red spicy sauce!, ordered online for pick up and it was very quick!

Cons: honestly they low-key ignored me 😆 , staff could be more engaging and acknowledging , Two hours away from me 😭

Nice spot

Had the bean burger and falafel Pita with fries. Would eat there again. Not sure why food is boxed up if eating there. Ice Tea was bland.

Best Israeli-style Street food in DMV

We had the oyster mushroom shawarma, falafel and shouk nuggets. The food was delicious and the portions (packed into fluffy pitas) were generous. Lots of side toppings and sauces to choose from. Watch out for the green one-it's very spicy. We were going to take pictures to post, but we ate it all...

In terms of authenticity, Shouk's food comes closest to the falafel/shawarma street vendors in Israel serve.

Nov. '23 update: Every bit as good on our most recent visit. We recommend the Shouk'n (oyster mushroom "fried chicken") with spicy shug sauce on the side, plus a side of extra crispy fries with harissa mayo dip.

Pros: Authentic street food, Generous portions, Friendly staff

Cons: Few dessert options

Great fast food option, shouk burger!

The shouk burger is definitely worth coming back for. It was so great, and the prices are pretty reasonable here. I would love to someday see Shouk come to the West Coast. I didn't realize when you pay extra for a sauce on the burger that it isn't actually added onto the burger, so I accidentally ate it without the sauce. Oops. It's still really good, though!

The spice fries "tossed in super secret shouk spice" didn't taste any different than other seasoned fries, so in the future, I'm going to stick with hummus or lentil soup as the side dishes. The featured photos of their fries on HappyCow and Google Maps are outdated. The fries no longer look like that.

The malabi coconut milk pudding was wonderful, and the mint went very well with the raspberry.

Reliably great falafel

I always order the falafel pita and can’t seem to get myself to try anything else. It’s always fresh and the spiced fries are perfect.

The best I’ve had yet in DC

Self ordering was kind of surprising but very efficient. Super friendly people regardless. I had the 2 Way Eggplant Bowl. Eggplant seared on a hot grill, creamy baba ganoush, almond feta, smashing potatoes, pomegranate-infused tomatoes, black lentils, quinoa, greens.

Pros: Baba Ganoush, Smashing potatoes, Garlic Tahin

Cons: Limited drinks

Unique and yum!

Israeli vegan food with a fast food American twist? Yes please! Lots of good options including more traditional falafel to pitas with fried oyster mushrooms. Visited with my non vegan coworkers and one vegetarian coworker and everyone enjoyed!

Service was great — employees were super nice and helpful!

Pros: Fully vegan, Quick and easy, Unique flavors

Heerlijke kruidige shoarma

Echt heeeeeel erg lekker! Ik had de shoarma gemaakt van paddestoelen en dit was heerlijk gekruid en super vers. Smaakte als een gezonde maaltijd terwijl ik een wat vettere hap verwachtte. Als dit broodje me niet zo vulde zou ik nog iets bestellen om te proeven wat ze nog meer hebben. Ik kom zeker terug!

Pros: Super smaakvol, Fijne buiten seating, Super vers en goed vullend

Cons: Valt niet echt op van buiten, Binnen niet erg sfeervol

Love that it’s kosher and everything we tried was delicious. My non vegan friend thanked me for introducing him to it and said he’d come again.

Fresh and delicious

We loved the food - fried shouk’n pita and shwarma pita. Both oyster mushrooms but the second was grilled rather than fried. We asked for our tahini on the side so we could add it as we went. Would definitely come back again.

Pros: Indoor and outdoor seating

Absolutely Delicious! What a treat!

I ate at the 655 K St. NW, Washington, DC location which is 5 minutes from the Mt Vernon Sq 7th St-Convention Center Metro. I had the Shawarma bowl with half rice/ half greens and schug sauce, green spicy hummus with cucumber slices, Malabi pudding dessert, and a taste of my son's spice fries. What unbelievable flavor! I bought extra Malabi desserts to take home to my friends and family; it was that good. I wish there was a Shouk restaurant in northern central Jersey.

Be sure to check their allergen guide accessible via the website and via QR code in restaurant.

Delicious plant-based Mediterranean food

100% plant-based cuisine without the "fake" meats. Features bowls and wraps, as well as sides and desserts. We had hummus, kale salad, shawarma bowl, and za'atar cauliflower bowl. Would definitely return!
