Best Dishes at Shukette
Za'atar Laffa Bread
BreadChewy, charred from the wood-fire oven, dusted with za'atar (sesame, sumac, thyme, salt blend). Herbaceous, slightly citrus-forward, warming. A blank canvas bread that pairs with any of Shukette's shareable dishes or dips.
Frena Bread
BreadA standout from the wood-fired oven — thin, crispy flatbread generously embedded with roasted garlic cloves and smoked sea salt. Simple, aromatic, addictive. A bread course that's worth ordering on its own or tearing apart to accompany other dishes.
Joojeh Chicken
MainsJuicy, tender charcoal-grilled chicken that's been marinated in spices. Served with creamy white toum (Lebanese garlic sauce) and Shukette's house hot sauce. The combination of cooling toum and spicy sauce is quintessential Levantine eating. A crowd-pleaser.
Fish In A Cage
MainsA theatrical presentation — whole fish wrapped in herbs, spices, and parchment, then charcoal-grilled until the wrapper chars and the fish steams inside. When the paper is opened at the table, aromatic herbs like cilantro and mint fill the air. Tender, flavorful fish in an interactive setting.
Gozleme
BreadTurkish-inspired flatbread filled with spiced potatoes, melted provolone cheese, and fresh cilantro. Cooked in the wood-fire oven until crispy outside, warm and cheese-melted inside. A vegetarian-leaning dish that's deeply satisfying.

Book on Resy or walk in — Shukette is popular but they take both reservations and walk-ins. Evenings fill up, but lunch is quieter.
Design your meal around the breads — they're the highlight. Build mezze and proteins to go with them, not the other way around.
The open kitchen is theatrical with the wood-fire oven visible. High energy, lively space — great for groups and celebrations.
The menu changes with seasons and what's available. Ask your server about new additions — Ayesha's travels inspire regular menu updates.
