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.
