Wanting to visit the Old Post office Clock tower , we decided to stop by lunch at this shouk location Washington DC. Having tried Falafel and Shawarma bowls we wanted to try the sandwiches this time. We Picked fried Shouk'n and Shouk Burger. Fried Shouk 'n - Oyster mushroom schnitzel was more appetizing visually but little oily as the mushroom soaks oil but I was expecting it. Didn't taste bad though . The Shouk burger was HEAVY , it was huge heavy patty made form various lentils and was very filling. We even got the Malabi dessert which was a pretty bland , NOT SWEET, pudding . It was like eating creamy pan yogurt with a flan texture. Definitely wont order again . Overall its cool place and good food . Read less

The entire menu seems delicious and I can’t wait to go back. We got a couple of different things off the menu and loved every single thing. The produce was all fresh and crisp, the flavors balanced each other well, and everything was cooked perfectly. The staff were very friendly and quick with getting everything out. They have a nice indoor seating area, the AC just seems to struggle a bit so it might get a bit hot for you. Read less

My boyfriend and I visited this place while in town for the weekend from RTP, and hands down, it’s the best pita and falafel spot we’ve ever had! Ordering was a breeze with their self-serve iPads, and we were able to seat ourselves right away. We both got falafel pitas, and they were packed with flavor and generously filled with crispy, delicious falafels. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, adding great texture to each bite. The spicy fries were incredibly crispy and stayed that way—never getting flat or soggy. One of the coolest touches was how the pitas were served in a mini box with a built-in pierce feature, making them super easy to eat. We’re so sad this spot is only in DC and Maryland because it would absolutely thrive in NC. Honestly, we’d make the trip back just for the food. Easily a 11/10 experience! Read less

This is nothing less than phenomenal. It was the best food i had on the east coast for the few months we have been here. We got the fried shouk with the mint sauce. It is deep fried mushrooms, pickeled vegetables, crispy lettuce, and tangy mint sauce wrapped up in a fluffy pita bread. The contrast of textures and strong flavores is exactly what I look for in a dish. Everything is vegan and it all looked good but since the first thing we got was so good I didn't want to try anything new the handful of times we went back. The design is pretty well put together with cool wall art, crafty nickn-nacks puzzled together, and a good view of the busy kitchen. The prices were a bit high but well worth it and on par for dc. If they had been lower it would have been hard not to get multiple dishes. The food was pretty fast as well and even though it's in to go containers, they seem compost friendly. You have to go here if your in dc! Read less
