    Shawarma with bread
    Prerana D.

    so much thought and effort put into curating each of the dishes here and it shows!!! the gem lettuce dish was actually phenomenal i left that plate CLEEAN. the shawarma dish was amazing too and made with celery root! got the bread super fresh and it was perfect. such a cute n cozy spot, great for sharing, and the staff is very friendly!

    Gorgeous upscale vegetarian/vegan Mediterranean restaurant with a nice selection of wines. I had a lovely time here catching up with a girlfriend. The celeriac shawarma and eggplant dishes were beautifully presented and perfectly spiced (10/10 would order again!). We also tried a pasta dish, which was tasty, but nothing really special. Make a reservation because the restaurant gets pretty busy! There are also a few small outdoor tables which would be nice for warmer weather.

    falafel

    came in here on a whim because the place i wanted to go originally was full. the food was delcious. the persimmon salad was nice and refreshing. the falafel was perfectly crucnhy and soft. the fettucine and risotto layers of flavor. none of the dishes i ordered had meat in them (which is rare for me) but this restaurant has opened my eyes to the fact that dishes without meat allow for the flavors of the ingredients to shine through better. cant wait to come back

    Tagliatelle
    Nonya B.

    My favorite dishes in order of best to worst were the kebab, shawarma, eggplant, risotto, and tagliatelle. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. I would skip the tagliatelle - overpriced, overcooked, underflavored. It was nearly $40 and was supposed to have truffle, but it just tasted like buttered noodles. Definitely better pasta elsewhere. Service was quite good. We had to wait about 10 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. We sat in front of the kitchen which was a fun experience and made us even hungrier! Desserts were unique and worth trying.

    OMG finally a vegan restaurant that appreciates vegetables and serves up artful, seasonal, flavor-packed veggies in course after course. A refreshing change from all the restaurants dishing up deep-fried fake meat. Shosh is a real treat, on the level of the Chef Guy franchise (Anixi etc.) We started with the focaccia which comes with an olive and tomato dip. Can never resist focaccia. I have to say, this was an unusual rendition of it. It was like a big handful of pizza dough was stretched into an 18-inch baton and then baked. Tasty and fresh, but more of a breadstick experience than focaccia experience. We had the seasonal soup, whose details I am forgetting but was a delicious puréed root vegetable experience. Next we got the iconic celeriac shawarma. SUPER fun dish that is not to be missed. Love that they use a glorious vegetable to stand in for meat rather than a processed meat substitute. It is delicious and comes atop a bowl of perfect hummus. Yum. After that, we had what was probably my favorite dish, the ajoblanco, a compilation of seasonal vegetables (most memorably baby cauliflower) impeccably seasoned and served with a garlicky (but not too garlicky) cream. Then we had the squash sage gnocchi which was great; a little more decadent than the other dishes and not necessarily more delicious (although it was delicious!) For dessert, we had a slice of the chocolate cake that was from the Love Bakery, which is a tiny and AWESOME artisanal vegan bakery that makes everything free of refined sugar and oil. This slice of cake blew our minds and was worth the high price. Lastly, the atmosphere was great - cute, modern, cozy - making it ideal for a date spot or a solo meal at the bar. And the service was warm and helpful. Can't wait to go back to try new seasonal things and repeat some of our favorites!

    Cafe Petisco was one of the restaurants whose closing in the past decade I truly grieved. It was just a perfect spot on one of my favorite corners of the Lower East Side, serving amazing malawach and cold brews in a well-lit space. When I heard the owners had finally opened a new location, I was elated. The new space is beautifully set up in a space that feels like a railroad flat, with bright lighting that doesn't feel too harsh. I didn't drink on this occasion, but the bar seats seemed especially inviting. The best bite was the vegan shawarma, which I understand is made from celeriac - it's perfectly smoky and textured, pairing well with the hummus, zhug, and oblong bread provided alongside. The spanakopita was also a standout, served with the Yemenite tomato chutney that I normally associate with jachnun.

    Carrots, tomatoes, falafel - yum! The meal was great as was the service. We liked the trifle but did not like the French toast cake.

    This vegan place has surpassed all other I've ever been to. The fact that their meat substitutes are made from veggies instead of soy is a huge deal to me. The bar seating makes for great conversation. i just wish I would have thought about getting the chefs. bar. that seemed from the distance like it was interesting. Everything I ate was amazing. The schwarma made out of celery root , cauliflower, mushrooms and the carrot ginger soup. i've heard that the focaccia is amazing but didn't want to eat gluten.

    SERVICE - located in west village - indoor and outdoor seating available - indoor decor is European themed with large ornate wood planks as tables and plants lining the rim of the ceiling - service is friendly and helpful though limited which can increase the time it takes for you to get your food - ambiance good for a semi formal meal - food comes out as it is ready not in the order you might anticipate MENU - vegetable focused menu with Mediterranean inspired flavors - all vegan/vegetarian - pricey ($30 per entree) FOOD - eggplant (8/10):: roasted eggplant dip garnished with pistachios, pomegranate, and chili oil and served with a side of focaccia bread. This was very similar to a babaghanoush. It makes for a good shareable appetizer among 4-6 people. The bread did not feel like a focaccia but rather a cross between a pita and baguette. - carrot (8/10): roasted carrot ribbons on a creamy skordalia bed with lentils and miso dressing. This was a surprisingly good shareable dish or a lighter entree for one. It was presented beautifully with the carrot made to look like a flower and the edible flowers as garnish. The skordalia had a tangy cheesy taste with the texture of labneh. The lentils were a nice touch to make the dish more substantial and add an earthy element. - kebab (7/10): soy based kebabs drizzled with tahini and topped with chili paste and grilled vegetables. This was from the entree section. It was not bad but also not spectacular. I would have liked the kebabs to have more flavor on their own. The tahini sauce soaked into the kebab which made them soggy if they sat out for too long. - lasagna (6/10): spinach, eggplant, and zucchini rolled with a dollop of cream in a bed of tomato sauce. While i liked this as a concept, my main issue was that it was difficult to share. The lasagna pieces are baked so cutting into them destroyed the layering. If you are not planning to do family style then this might be a good option. - mushroom (5/10): mixed mushrooms with spinach pesto and artichoke. This is best eaten as a side with the shawarma. On its own, it has a very strong umami flavor from the mushrooms. - shawarma (9/10): grilled celeriac root skewered on a bed of hummus with a side of focaccia bread. This was the highlight of the meal. The celeriac was a very unique choice to highlight as a shawarma. It absorbed the spices and had a slight char from the roasting. The hummus at the bottom was creamy and provided a good texture contrast to the vegetable. Definitely recommend ordering this one. - trifle (3/10): layered berries, cream, and streusel with a cherry sauce. This was a letdown. I found the entire cup too sweet and slightly medicinal tasting. It was also hard to share as the cream ran down the sides making it sticky to touch. - halva silan (5/10): oat milk ice cream with dates and pecans topped with sesame floss. I had higher hopes for this dessert. It was just okay. I liked how the pistachio and halva added a nuttiness, but it was still very sweet. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes. However, i think the restaurant would benefit from a website with a sample menu for diners to expect what to order. I also would just stick to appetizers and entrees, skipping desserts.

    Shosh is a small vegan restaurant/wine bar that's hard to miss if you're not looking out for it. I went in a Friday evening and it was easy to get seated without a reservation. Service was great, it was a younger woman who was serving us and she was really kind and patient as we figured out what to order. We started with the house made focaccia and I do have to say I was a bit confused because the bread didn't resemble focaccia at all. It a firmer loaf accompanied by olives, tzatziki and some sort of tomato puree. I think a different bread would make more sense on the menu. The falafel was perfection, bright and green in the inside while being nicely seasoned and crispy. The shawarma was also remarkable, it's made from celery which I thought was an odd choice for a meat alternative but it worked so well. The hummus it was served with was so lovely and this was probably my favorite dish. The risotto was nice, I wasn't the biggest fan of the cheese they use for it but my friend loved it. Overall, this is another gem for vegan Mediterranean food that doesn't rely on processed meat alternatives. They're rather new but I imagine they'll do well; especially as the menu continues changing/growing.

    Wow, this place was an absolutely phenomenal vegan spot. It's always so exciting to be able to try dishes that I wouldn't be able to otherwise and the shawarma didn't disappoint. The bread that accompanied it was so fluffy and nicely buttered. The star of the meal was definitely the truffle tagliatelle. Definitely coming back here.

    I've been to a lot of vegan places in NYC and never have I gone to one like this. Eleven Madison is the only other place I've been that's successfully brought out delicious flavors in the plant based world in NYC. Everything was fresh and it was the cherry on top that there was no fake processed meat on the menu. I'm still dreaming about the artichoke and the shawarma. It was so good at one point I told my wife we were mistaken and we ended up at a vegetarian restaurant instead of a vegan one. We asked the waitress at the end of the night and were shocked to know everything we had was indeed vegan. Thank you to the team here. We can't wait to be back.

    The food was really good! With two smaller plates and two larger plates, our party of two were pretty full. Highly recommend the falafels and mushrooms!! The service was very fast and helpful in explanation. The ambiance would have been fantastic, but there were two parties close to us that seemed to not really understand the vibe of the place (ie they were screaming at the top of their lungs - it gave LA influencer in the worst way). That's not the restaurants fault, so I didn't dock points. However, they could've tried to handle the situation better - there was a table next to us that asked to move because the volume was horrible.

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.
