There were falafels of several different varieties, and I had the Palestinian Falafel plate, which came with six crunchy spiced chickpea fritters along with a grainy hummus and a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, pickled cucumbers and red cabbage, parsley, and olives. I also tried the Mixed Shish plate, which came with a chicken kebab and lamb kofta (minced lamb) kebab, which were both flavorful but slightly dry. At the table were two sauces including a creamy white sauce and a spicy red chili sauce, but my favorite part of the meal was the freshly baked naan breads, which were thin and crispy in the center and puffy and chewy around the edges.

The location is amazing, right by Dublin castle, temple bar, and river liffey. The restaurant is small but the tables are big. Food is always great! This is my second time here and I love the chicken shish, beef koobideh, and beef shish. It's a bit of a fusion place, as for a side you get hummus or tzatziki which aren't Persian, but it works well, and I'm sure it's great for non Persian people who may be more familiar with those items than more traditional cuisine. The prices can't be beat either. Such a good bang for your buck in the city.

Every bite tasted like it came straight from a cherished family recipe. This cozy, family-run restaurant radiates warmth and hospitality from the moment you walk in -- you instantly feel like part of the family. The hummus and baba ghanoush are out of this world: creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the Lebanese potatoes were crisped to perfection with just the right touch of garlic and spice. We finished with strong, fragrant Lebanese coffee and flaky, melt-in-your-mouth baklava -- the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Every dish was clearly made with love and attention to detail. It's the kind of hidden gem you feel lucky to discover. Tucked away in Dublin, this place deserves far more attention. And as if the food weren't reason enough to fall in love, the lovely lady proprietor is warm, welcoming -- and a Metallica fan! Seriously, how cool is that? Highly, highly recommend!

It is a cute small place that recently has extended out the back with a bar and music booth. In the old part the rooms are small and cosy and feel old. But the best part is the wonderful middle Eastern food with a real flavour of Lebanon and Turkey. The Mezze was large, varied and delicious. The whole cauliflower cooked with tahini and pomegranates was a revaluation and if you really want meat, the chicken skewers were plump and flavoursome. Shouk sells wine by the glass but you can bring your own. The staff were very helpful and friendly and in the end I could not think that at about €20 a head, this place must be on of the best restaurants in Dublin to eat your fill deliciously and healthily.

Shouk's interior is very cute, with high ceilings and an open set up allowing you to dine outside, in a room connected to the outdoor space, or a darker, "indoor" area. food: Fantastic. As someone who is GF and was worried about this when traveling abroad, the GF options where fabulous and the restaurant is very accommodating. The food was fresh and served warm right as it was finished - huge plus service: Servers were kind and lovely :) Every table reservation gives you 1hr and 45 minutes to dine. if you're running late, you won't lose your table but you'll just be seated for a shorter amount of time - keep that in mind :) ambiance: The only reason I'd give Shouk 4 stars is because of the distance of the tables. In the room connected to the outdoor space where we were seated, things did feel a bit cramped. The restaurant has an "open kitchen" where you can see your food being cooked and come out which is great, but we did sit right next to the kitchen and things got a bit stuffy, despite the doors being open outside. Not sure if this was ventilation or the fact that there were many tables and folks dining that night, but that's the only thing i'd change about our experience.

My mom loved the yogurt dish and my aunt couldn't stop raving about the scones here. I got the eggs on toast and this was such unique and delicious flavor that I would easily come back for.

The family-style menu also came with hummus, tzatziki, a spicy chili sauce, salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, red onion, pickled red cabbage), and freshly-baked rounds of taftoon flatbread. Overall, everything we tried was flavorful, healthy, and came at a reasonable price for the quality of food!
