This place is amazing, highly recommend the labneh, frena and the shawarma spiced fries. And a side of toum!

It's good but expensive for what it is. Dishes were presented well but nothing was jaw dropping fantastic. Maybe we got the wrong dishes, which were the cage fish, the fried sunchoke (not good), the citrus salad (interesting but expensive), kebab and the tahini soft-serve. The soft-serve was the best thing and actually quite good. I'm not why it's so hyped but the atmosphere is a vibe.

Outstanding in every respect, especially with Ross helping make our experience exceptional. Sit inside the main restaurant if possible for the best vibe, and sitting at the counter is great. Food selection is great and we appreciate the small dishes for sharing - though one Ferna each please. Drinks are also good…maybe too good…the Tyre is a favorite. Enjoy!

Great spot for some fresh food. Ambiance was great. This place is usually booked up, so make sure to rsvp in advance. The kebabs were amazing, fish in a cage very good as well. Service was very attentive.
Fantastic experience from beginning to end! We arrived for our 5pm reservation and it seemed that there already were many people waiting to get in (it was a Saturday).All the staff is so amazing, accommodating and kind.The food is absolutely incredible. We shared a fava dip and whipped feta with a couple of frenas (so-so good), and harissa carrots with lamb koftas, tried the whipped garlic toum and finished our meal with the most amazing tahini soft serve.Everything was just perfect and I will absolutely be back again AND tell everyone about this dainty little restaurant. Incredible!!!

Al of them are very good! Frena was awesome, hummus and artic dip (my fav) was good!! The lamb/beef meatball was amazing too and the sauce that came with it was creamy and tastes like mushroom! We got complimentary cabbage it was spicy!We didnt wait on Fri 5.30 pm but got seated outside

Was really disappointed by our visit. Firstly, beware that outdoor seats are in a totally sectioned off tent area separate from the restaurant which has very little atmosphere and doesn’t really give you a good experience. Our food took 1hr 15mins to arrive (to the point where we just cancelled our main as we weren’t hungry anymore), and the waiter came over twice with someone else’s food trying to put it down on our table. The bread and the cauliflower were delicious, but apart from that food was average (the koftas were very salty). Sad!

Shukette is by far the best Mediterranean restaurant in NYC. Ivan took the best care of us and the experience was amazing!! This is the only Mediterranean restaurant I will ever go to because of him. Thanks Ivan for a wonderful dinner and great fun.Vegetarian options: Such an amazing restaurant for vegetarians. So many options!
Honestly, the food was good, just that. I wasn’t blown away and I didn’t consider it extraordinary considering the cost and rave it’s been getting. I had hoped more, it was very simple. I shared three entrees with one other person and left hungry.

Shukette offers a delightful blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors in a diverse menu suitable for all tastes. The meticulous attention to detail in each dish reflects the chef's dedication to quality. Our favorite was the "Frena" bread with tzatziki dip, a must-try. While the grass-fed steak shish kebab was good, it lacked a memorable taste, served on a bed of peas. The TOUM garlic dip didn't elevate the fries as expected. The vibrant ambiance blends modern elegance and Middle Eastern influences, ideal for groups but possibly too loud for dates. Shukette's standout feature is its exceptional service, with knowledgeable and passionate staff adding to the dining experience. Whether a local or visitor, Shukette is worth a visit for a satisfying culinary adventure.

I have been to Shuka before and loved that experience. So obviously I needed to try their sister restaurant, Shukette. We really enjoyed it. I think Shuka is a bit better but we still had a good time here. Unfortunately we had to be seated outside but it didn’t break our experience. The service was very fast and friendly. I know these are shared plates but theese were very small. We got 6 tiny little meatballs and were a little disappointed. I’m paying almost $15 for one piece of bread. Again, it was delicious but wish we got just a little more, especially when you’re with a group of people.Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian dishesParking: Park in the street- good luckKid-friendliness: Would daWheelchair accessibility: No stairs, outdoor seating available Mr
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shukette Restaurant in New York City, and I must say it was an extraordinary culinary experience. Chef Ayesha and her outstanding team have truly mastered the art of creating delectable Mediterranean cuisine that tantalizes the taste buds and warms the soul.The flavors in every dish were vibrant and perfectly balanced, showcasing the fresh ingredients and skillful techniques employed by Chef Ayesha.The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, adding to the overall dining experience. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal.I highly recommend Shukette Restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in NYC. Kudos to Chef Ayesha and her amazing team for their dedication to creating such outstanding Mediterranean cuisine. I can't wait to return for another memorable meal!
