Checked out SHŌSH, Chef Anat Sror's Mediterranean spot. Let me get this out of the way before getting to the good stuff: The description says plant-based but lists ingredients like egg and cheese. But the menu is all vegan. Bro, just say you're vegan so we stop bugging our server or doubting our choices. Super confusing and unnecessary omission. After all that, we started with the charred corn appetizer, followed by the truffle "parmesan" tagliatelle (quotations mine). The absolute standout was the kebab--packed with rich, smoky depth from charring. We finished with the halva silan dessert, featuring a balance of sweet "honey" dates and sesame candy (quotations mine again). Service was prompt and friendly. Inside, they make thoughtful use of the space, and while wheelchair friendly, it can be tight. Given the mid-to-high price point and aesthetic, SHŌSH is ideal for a date night or a close group outing. Reservations are a must. Recommended for anyone looking for an elevated plant-based Mediterranean experience. read more

Really impressive. The food is delicious, and it's easy to forget that everything is completely vegan. Chickpea Panisse - crispy on the outside, soft and full of warm spices on the inside. The aioli over top is also insanely flavorful - creamy and a bit tart. Shawarma - insane variety of textures. The mock meat is chewy, the hummus is insanely creamy, the green sauce is very herbaceous, and the red sauce full of fresh tomato flavor. The bread served alongside is fluffy and rich. This is apparently the most popular item and was easily my favorite dish. Lasagna - a bright tomato sauce on top of a rolled pasta with a delicious savory filling, topped with a really convincing ricotta substitute. The total came to around $110 after tax and tip with plenty of food for two. It's a bit high end, but worth a try at least once. read more

5 stars for our incredible dinner at Shosh! This new plant-based spot is quaint, quiet and quite tiny, making it a great place to dine if you want to hear the people you're dining with! The menu features clean wines and fresh Mediterranean style food. The 2 of us split 4 dishes: the Squash Blossoms, Truffle Tagliatelle, Kebab, and the Shawarma, which was my favorite item of the evening - loved the huge plate of hummus and bread it was served with. I would recommend all of these dishes. Don't skip dessert: the Chocolate Mousse was so silky and perfectly sweet and the Halva Sundae was tasty as well. The waiters were very knowledgeable about the menu and were able to find me the perfect wine to meet my needs (not acidic). Prices are a bit steep for the portions, but so worth it. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

It is vegan, I think. My kids would veto this place. I loved it. Lots of thot, love, and skill behind their creations. The Shawarma dish was constructed well and creatively with thin slices (peels?) of celery folded in an accordian fold and stacked up, skewered, grilled, and brushed with yummy marinade. Comes atop a bowl of creamy hummus with a red (tomato?) sauce and a green (jalapeno?) sauce. The smell, the texture, the taste... Sooooo gooood! Oh, and a freshly baked focaccia bun or is that a long pretzel? Whatever it was, it worked. Try it! Also had the pastry creation of the day. White chocolate cake thing with a good dollop of berry compote brushed on the plate. It was NOT over-the-top sweet. Perfect. It's one of those re-constructed cake things that have goop (berry compote and whipped something) sandwiched between two layers of cake pucks. Took me while to clean that up. I intended to finger lick the plate, but thought better of it. I shoulda. Was a walk-in on a wed night. Sat at the bar in the back. Tight venue, upscale-ish, welcoming. Friendly, efficient servers. I met three. They helped me pick the food. They get to eat this stuff all the time. No fair! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Would definitely visit again to experience their dinner menu. read more

A beautiful experience touching my soul and filling belly with deliciously fresh veggies and the works! The celeriac shawarma/hummus was so brilliant and the flavor was spot on; it tasted like home. The eggplant was WOW especially with that focaccia. The Gem was a unique deviation from the meal but it was so appreciated. Finally the desserts! The Malabi was heavenly and the Adaptogenic cake was sticky and delicious. I hope they keep doing what theyre doing. My mom and I loved the whole experience. read more

Let's start by saying that I'm Not a vegetarian. My daughter is and I've been to various places to see if my carnivore taste buds can be satisfied. I went here for a work dinner. My group thought I was sucking up to my boss who was a vegetarian, but I honestly thought it wasn't an all vegan place. LOL. I searched Mediterranean , distance and vegan friendly on Yelp and this place came up. I had my eye on the the Shawarma. I'm that guy that grabs Shawarma from carts outside of Grand Central Station. ( don't judge). Anyways my taste carnivore taste buds weren't fooled, but not disappointed. I would say this was on my top 5 of all vegan places I've been to. A great meal. My other carnivore co workers may have been converted. I'll be back , even alone as a closet vegetarian. read more

Shosh is a new plant-based spot in the w village with a Mediterranean inspired menu. I really enjoyed everything I had - the summer tomatoes were particularly lovely and who doesn't love a good pasta?

SHOSH is charming and visually thoughtful, with its West Village warmth, soft lighting, and touches of indoor greenery--but the food didn't quite meet the expectations set by its stylish setting. The pasta was well-cooked and generously topped vegan parm, but the flavors leaned safe. The romaine dish was fresh but forgettable, and the overall experience, while pleasant, felt more about vibes than culinary precision. It's decent, but if you're after plant-forward Italian with real personality, Willow or Coletta (the vegan spot from the Beyond Sushi team) deliver a lot more depth and creativity on the plate. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

Incredible good, great ambiance and excellent service. The eggplant is very delicate, and the seasoning on the gem salad is delicious. The celeriac shawarma and hummus is wonderful, probably among the best hummus I've had stateside outside of Israel. The space is narrow but nicely done.

Unless you were paying attention you might miss Shosh as you walk by. But once inside, this sleek sliver of a restaurant will instantly draw you in. It's Mediterranean fare and all vegan. We ate things we've never eaten before. A puffy pita bread that arrives hot, next to a plate of babaghanoush except this one has pomegranates, and it's studded with flowers. Gem lettuce coated with nuts and bathed in a salty tangy dressing. Shwarma made of celery root. Yummy and fun. Recommended. read more

These people are extremely horrible. I went with my partner and the host wanted to place us at this crowded table in the center. She very rudely insisted that this was the only table available. She then proceeds to to turn to the couple sitting right next to us, apologizes profusely to them and tries to move them to the same table we just asked if we could get that they literally insisted we could not get. Just blatant discrimination and mistreatment. We immediately left. Horrible service, horrible staff and horrible treatment. Maybe because they are located in West Village that is why they think they can treat people like this, I don't know but I would not recommend. read more

Wow!! What a great meal and experience. My daughter and I went on a random Saturday night. We did not have reservations. It was very cold outside.

Spectacular hummus with crudite! As of writing this place only opened a month ago ... but it has potential. This is not a criticism it's a wishlist. I am plant based for health. Some of the food seemed like it was vegan for ethical reasons instead of health. I'm looking for nutrient dense whole foods, minimally processed, low salt, no seed oil. This food was fun and has nice flavor, and is not overly salted. Would I seek it out for a healthy meal? Maybe not ....yet? But I'm optimistic. I'll probably look again later in the year and see if the menu is more health conscious. Music was hit or miss. read more

Food is absolutely divine, coming from someone that is extremely picky, this is one of the top 5 meals I've had in NYC. The focaccia is baked to order, the hummus is to die for (im not even a hummus person but id go back for it), and I cannot believe the tagliatelle is vegan- it seriously achieves a level of creamy, fresh, and tasty that many vegan pastas don't even come close to. the creambiousu (however you spell it) and the rose dessert were amazing, however I'd recommend just do 1 because they're pretty filling. words don't do it justice. the ambiance is super sweet, small and cozy yet elegant and welcoming. the customer service is also top tier, I had to cancel the day of my reservation and was able to contact them and explain the situation and get a res for the next day to avoid the cancellation fee. really appreciate the understanding and I absolutely will be back. btw, just my opinion, the artichokes are skippable- they're good just think there's better on the menu. read more
