Shukette

"Ayesha Nurdjaja’s Eastern Mediterranean 2021 follow-up to Shuka still packs people in, here for the lively bar scene and excellent menu of dips, breads, braised and grilled meats, and vegetables. Dishes wear bold flavors, thanks to fistfuls of fresh herbs, and details like harissa, pickles, za’atar, or citrus. Go with a crowd to try more, but if it’s peak dining hour, be prepared: It’s loud." - Robert Sietsema
