Shakeshuka is a Palestinian restaurant at 134 Marylebone Road, close to Baker Street station. Its colourful and casual dining room serves comforting dishes suited to a quick wrap, a relaxed lunch or a table filled with mezze and grilled food. Vegetables, fresh herbs, olive oil, grains and carefully seasoned meat give the broad menu its warm eastern Mediterranean character.
Mezze begins with hummus, smoky moutabal, labneh, falafel and vine leaves filled with rice, tomato, parsley and mint. Tabbouleh and fattoush bring freshness through chopped herbs, vegetables and lemon, while foul mudammas combines broad beans with garlic and olive oil. Spiced potatoes, grilled halloumi and mixed platters make it easy for a group to share several contrasting dishes.
The charcoal grill prepares lamb cubes, kofta, lamb cutlets, marinated chicken and a mixed plate served with rice and salad. Chicken shawarma is available as a plate or wrapped in bread, while lamb kofta khashkhash adds a spicy tomato sauce. Grilled sea bass provides a lighter seafood alternative without leaving the restaurant’s direct, flame cooked style.
Palestinian flatbreads are baked with zaatar, halloumi, spinach, minced lamb or chicken shawarma, giving diners another route through the menu. Fresh orange, carrot, apple and mint lemonade accompany the food, followed by Turkish coffee or tea. Knafeh, baklava and rice pudding with pistachio offer traditional sweet finishes built around cheese, pastry, syrup, milk and nuts.
