Order the frena and the dips. The labneh and toum get named over and over, and the common advice is one frena per person. The joojeh chicken is the main people rate highest. Some say everything past the bread and dips is only fine, and a table can take three weeks to book. The is the one thing people call a letdown.

“Yes the food and service are fantastic and consistent, but overall it has a welcoming, warm and relaxed atmosphere. You do feel at home there and not rushed during an amazing meal.”

“It’s amazing, lots of herbs, fluffy in the middle and the edges have a nice crisp”

“Had a range of items, labneh excellent (with strawberries that night!), hummus very good (but if you eat a lot it may not be that special--it was very very smooth), had their spice dusted fries--amazing! Skewer of lamb was excellent too.”

“I had an arctic char dip last time that was horribly underseasoned. The only menu items that are always consistent and rave-worthy are the breads, and that’s not a great look for a restaurant group that touts rotating offerings to highlight seasonal ingredients.”

“their chicken is excellent and so juicy. Also the veg options on the menu are always outstanding and creative flavor combinations”

“Shukette all day, the only restaurant I keep going back to. They change their menu regularly. I was there last week and I’d highly recommend the lamb kofte (as someone who doesn’t eat a lot of lamb this is high praise!), the wings, and frena (a must try bread)”

“Love shukette but definitely have ordered some meh dishes there: I thought the hummus, tzatziki, fries, mujadara, and meatball are just ok but the Labne, Moroccan eggplant, breads, chicken, and roasted squash are all incredible”

“Dips and breads are the main stars here. Just order all of them. Everything else was great, but these were exceptional.”

“Solid dipping sauces and the bread is dreamy....”

“The Areyas however…. AMAZING, no notes. The sauce that came with it was somehow even better. Wanted to try so much more but we were full since we ate before this. Want to go again with a bigger appetite!”

“Shukette in Chelsea is pretty incredible and is not a wallet buster. Middle Eastern cuisine, and I've yet to have a bad plate there.”
