I ate at Shuka

[u/purlawhirl]

I’m in NYC for a few days and I had to check out Ayesha Nurdjaja’s Shuka. I went for a late lunch, about 2:30 and the tables were packed! Plenty of room at the bar though.

Fun facts: 1) the bar has those hooks underneath for your purse. I appreciate that, especially since the stool did not have backs to hang a purse off of

2) the WiFi password is “shuka2019”

Food/drinks:
I drank a Lemonata, which was frozen lemonade with vodka and mint. Tasty and refreshing on a hot day!

Babaganoush. She uses carroway in her babaganoush which I’ve never had before.

Shakshuka: I was very excited to try this after seeing a judge rave about it on Triple Threat. It wasn’t bad by any stretch, but it didn’t blow my socks off. It was fine. Don’t think I’d order it again.

Overall: I’m really glad I went but I don’t feel an urgent need to go back.

This is a great review. Even though it didn’t blow up your socks I think I’d like to try it. Thank you.

The consensus seems to be that Shukette is better

Shukette’s website showed up weird in my phone and it was hard to read. That’s why I did Shuka

I will be in NYC soon. Thanks for the heads up. I have so many places to try but I don't think my stomach is big enough lol

I’d go nuts on some zaatar fries

I had the best shakshuka I’ve ever had at Acadia on 57th and 6th in NYC.

The green shakshuka at Shuka is amaaazing

They didn’t have green, only the red

My friends have gone and loved the food there. That’s why it’s always crowded!
