"Shouk’s aim is no big deal: It’s just a world-saving mission. This super-casual homegrown shop for modern, all plant-based Israeli street food on K Street NW with an additional location in Rockville, Maryland serves standout dishes like oyster mushroom shawarma, filling bowls of hummus, and veggie burgers that aren’t grown in a lab." - Tierney Plumb
"Shouk is an Israeli street food spot with an entirely plant-based menu ideal for lunch-on-the-go or a casual dinner. Order the veggie burger, served with plenty of tahini and charred onions. The spicy fries and choc-cardamom cookies are fantastic, and should be required add-ons to your oyster mushroom shawarma bowl." - tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield
"A quick meal that's also healthy-ish isn’t the easiest thing to find. That’s why we love Shouk, a serious takeout and delivery spot with some casual tables as well, and an entirely plant-based menu. Even if you prefer beef patties to veggie burgers, you likely won’t even realize you’re eating a lighter replacement if you order the burger served with plenty of tahini and charred onions. Shouk’s spicy fries and choc-cardamom cookies are worth leaving your house for, but the fact that they can be delivered to your door renders them necessary add-ons to your meatless burger or oyster mushroom shawarma bowl." - madeline weinfield
"Shouk is a fast-casual D.C. shop specializing in Middle Eastern street food. Recently, they introduced the BBQ Jack, a plant-based barbecue sandwich made with brined, shredded jackfruit, a seared, caramelized barbecue sauce, and fried shallots, designed to mimic pulled pork. The sandwich also includes coleslaw that resembles sweet and sour braised cabbage common in Ashkenazi cooking. The BBQ Jack is available at Shouk’s shops in Mt. Vernon Triangle and Union Market." - Gabe Hiatt
"The Shouk Pantry features vegan Israeli kitchen staples like hummus, cashew labneh, spice blends, harissa, almond feta, pickled vegetables, and more. Order online for delivery or carryout from the Mount Vernon Triangle location." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
