The decor transports you, very intentionally decorated. I had the chicken shish tawook dinner, the eggplant, falafel, wings, and hummus. This was legitimately some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had. The wings were extremely flavorful, the chicken shish tawook was juicy and beautifully seasoned, and the eggplant was delightfully tangy. I was really looking forward to coming here again.

We came to Shokran because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews and drove in from the suburbs…read morespecifically for Moroccan food. Unfortunately, we left really disappointed. We ordered the tagines, and the tagine pots themselves arrived at essentially room temperature--the server was carrying them comfortably with his bare hands. The food inside was only warm and tasted as though it may have been reheated rather than coming from a slow-cooked, piping-hot tagine. We've had Moroccan tagine elsewhere where removing the lid revealed sauce still actively bubbling, so the difference was striking. Here there was no sizzling, bubbling or even a particularly hot vessel. The flavors were fine, but overall the meal was just...bland and underwhelming. Maybe we caught them on an off night, especially given how much other diners seem to love this place, but based on our visit it wasn't worth the drive into the city.

My friend had her birthday celebration here last night. I never heard about this place but was…read moreimmediately intrigued when she told me about it. It's a live show while you have dinner. The staff was very friendly and I did enjoy the host of the show. I thought he did a great job interacting with everyone in the audience. However, we were there for a good 2 1/2 almost 3 hours and after a while the show started to feel very repetitive. The same performers and performances would come on stage on a loop. I did enjoy the performances but after a while it did become quite predictable. As far as the food, I wasn't crazy about it. I ordered the calamari for my appetizer- which was pretty good. I liked the sauce that was drizzled on it. However, my entree was kind of a disappointment. I got the lamb shank which just didn't mesh well with my taste buds. I know this is a cultural dish so it's just not a taste I was used to. However, I did wish I enjoyed it a little bit more. I will say the lamb was nice and tender. The best thing I had that evening was the pink dahlia. It was a delicious cocktail made with Malibu rum, pina colada mixture, pineapple juice and strawberry purée. It was so yummy, I had two! I'm grateful I got to experience this place, it was an overall enjoyable night. With that being said I don't see myself coming back to this establishment. For me it's very much a one and done experience.

The restaurant wasn't crowded at the time, only a couple of tables were occupied, which made for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience.

My three lunch mates also loved what they got. Old Town just west of Lincoln Park is making a very huge impression on the restaurant scene. Old Jerusalem is certainly part of this movement!
