Shakeshuka in City of London, Westminster

Flavourful and authentic food, and incredibly friendly and dedicated staff. Especially awesome that they have cheese, lamb and spinach fatayer (small savoury pastries) which are perfect for a delicious, healthy and reasonably priced on the go snack. Will be coming back for more.

Great food, great atmosphere and a great staff. Definitely recommend

Such good food here. Had the shakshouka with sojuk and the orange and carrot juice, and we also had complementary olives and pickles. Attentive staff and a great menu.

Excellent food and fast service. Very reasonable prices for central London; a great find and I’ll be back; thank you!

Shake Shuka offers amazing Palestinian food packed with authentic flavor. The sujuk, kebabs, and hummus were all delicious. Friendly staff, warm vibes, and generous portions — we’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was great. However we had my mother in law's handbag stolen. The staff said they could not check the cameras. Where is justice if this can't happen??? Luckily the bag was as found around the corner and Mohammad Egyptian waiter was kind enough to help me. He then said he will check the cameras afterwards. Can the owner please reply to me!

Food was great and so was the service!

We sat outside with our dog and they were so helpful in making sure we were all comfortable. They even moved us so that we could fit all our food on the tables. The food was amazing, the hummus was so smooth and delicious. I got the chicken shawarma which is full of flavour. We also ordered the shakshouka which was to die for. Everything is so flavourful and such an enjoyable experience.

A delight from start to finish! Great decor! Long live Palestine! Palestinian restaurant🇵🇸😍

This place was absolutely amazing. Staff were so friendly! Clean, seating available upstairs and outside. Food was delicious, i will defiently be back.

The food was delicious and the service staff was always attentive and courteous! When we are back in London, we will definitely pay you a visit again! Thank you for the great and delicious food!

Decided to try Palestinian food for the first time and this place was incredible. Did not disappoint at all. Great food and great service. Look forward to visiting again!

Very friendly staff, high quality food and taste.

One of the best - if not the best- Palestinian restaurants in London. The food was incredible and reminded us of home. The owner is a very kind and warm-hearted person, which made the experience even more special. The staff were also extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend ShakeShuka to anyone in London who wants to enjoy authentic Palestinian cuisine

Excellent in particular ‘el msakhan’

Awful food and service. Avoid at all costs!

Wow.! Everything we had was beautiful, delicious humour, the shakshuka was the best I’ve had and those lamb cutlets were so tender and juicy. The bread was a perfect accompaniment and the complementary bowl of olives was a lively touch. Great atmosphere and good service. Well recommended

Always greatto dine in Shakshuka! All staff aee very friendly and kind. God bless them ❤️

Lovely restaurant. The staff were very kind and friendly, the atmosphere was great - busy but not too loud - and the food was excellent. Highly recommend!

Good value for the value and very good food

It’s not the first time I visit Shake Shuka, every time comes across my mind if i want to have a good breakfast and i always recommend my friends and family to come and try it But yesterday i went with my girlfriend and was like surprise for me we went to pay our bills The staff working in kitchen were stirring at her like in (not nice way ) يعني بالعربي مو حلو الواحد يطلع على بنت معها زلمي عيب And she felt uncomfortable it never happened before but as an Arab and Muslim that’s makes me not come again with my girlfriend to the place I hope you take my review as criticise and tell your staff that it’s very rude what they have done I didn’t know that till she told when we went home Thank you

Very very good food, authentic and tasty, a really attentive team. A real pleasure, we will return with pleasure on our next visit to London.

One of my all-time favorite meals I've had in London. It was my first time trying Palestinian food and it was delicious! My group enjoyed the fattoush, halloumi flatbread, falafel box, and chicken shwarma. They were all amazing the service was great- I can't wait to come back and try more menu items!

Nice place with good Palestinian food and great service. Pretty buzzing on a lunchtime. Served quick, lovely lunch for well under £20.

Fresh, authentic, welcoming. Always. Get the Knafeh.

We were seated quickly and the food came out pretty soon after we’d ordered it. It was a treat to be so close to kitchen and watch the food being prepared and made. And it was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was super welcoming and the food was best shared with each other. I highly recommend.

Came here on Saturday night for a friends birthday. The service was excellent, the owner is a big personality who takes time to speak to the customers. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I was blown away by the sweet Knafeh which the owner brought out for us to try at the end. Will definitely be back for more!

سلام عليكم لورد حليم بالنيابة عن نفسي وعن زوجتي وعن العروس لميس وزوجها فارس نود أن نشكركم من اعماق قلوبنا عن حسن الضيافة والحفاوة والخدمة التي وجدناها في مطعمكم شكشوكة الفلسطيني في لندن. يوم الجمعة 11/04/2025 بمناسبة الاحتفال بعقد قران ابنتي لميس على زوجها فارس. لقد وجدنا من حسن الضيافة والمعاملة والخدمة ما ابهج نفوسنا جميعا،الاكل كان في منتهى الروعة من ناحية الكمية والتنوع والمذاق، ومشاركتك انت خصوصا بالاحتفال والدبكة الفلسطينية معنا كان شيئاً فوق العادة سنبقى نتذكره دائماً ،وكذلك الموظفين في المطعم شاركوا جميعا ليقدموا لنا احتفالا غير عادي،لقد أرسلنا فيديوهات للاحتفال إلى كل الأهل والاصدقاء،وكانوا جميعا في حالة ذهول ولم يصدقوا أن هذا الجو والاحتفال الفلسطيني يمكن أن يحصل في لندن .وسنكون سعداء جدآ لإقامة مثل تلك الليلة إذا حصلت مناسبة سعيدة اخرى د.خضر ابو حيه والعائلة Tunbridge Wells,kent

One of the best meals I’ve had in the past year, we tried ten dishes between three and all of them were incredible! The foul was subtle and creamy, the baba ghanouj was perfectly seasoned, the Shish Taouk was juicy and flavourful. The whole experience was incredible and we finished off with a rice pudding and khafeh which were a great sweet way to end our meal, even though we were full to the brim. I can’t wait to return

Very disappointing with the quality of food for the price paid. My mix grill was tiny and the rice was dry and couple of days old. Tried and tested and won't be coming back.

Loved this place! Excellent falafel and pickles with freshly made breads. Very reasonably priced and lovely friendly staff - would thoroughly recommend!

I was there for Iftar during Ramadan and I got mixed grill plate and it was absolutely delicious and they gave us dates to break our fast. Stuff was also nice.

A piece of Palestine in London.

Very ordinary, clean, average and expensive

Beautiful restaurant with beautiful people who are not only serving fresh, delicious Palestinian food. But they are also spreading awareness about the dire situation in Palestine. The owner has a wonderful heart and may Allah keep blessing him and his establishment.

Best Arabic food in London, the atmosphere is very nice and you can feel the tradition of Palestine there, 👏 continue soooo

Very good food, nice staff, large quantities and cheap!! A real pleasure!

Got a takeaway it was very tasty! Really interesting flavours and very good wraps with chicken, amazingly tasty hummus! Very tasty rice with vegetables and an aubergine dish. Really pleased! Waiter gave me some extra baked things which were also very tasty! Really recommend!

Delicious Palestinian Flavours 🇵🇸🍽️ I’d often driven past ShakeShuka on the edge of the congestion charge zone heading into London, and I was always curious about the place. When I found out it served Palestinian cuisine, I knew I had to try it. I booked for a group of 25, and the manager was really helpful in accommodating us. We were seated downstairs in the basement, which turned out to be surprisingly spacious and nicely decorated—perfect for a large group. The restaurant was packed even on a Saturday, a testament to its popularity. I had the Mixed Mezze for two, which included falafel, hummus, mutabal, labneh, wark enab (stuffed vine leaves), and halloumi—an excellent combination of flavours. I also tried the musakhan and the six-flavour pizza mix, since the manakish was unavailable. For dessert, I had the kunafah and was pleasantly surprised at how well the melted cheese, semolina, and honey syrup worked together. While the staff were friendly and made a real effort, there were a few service hiccups—missed orders and delays—but they were quick to offer a complimentary replacement, which was appreciated. Overall, ShakeShuka delivered a great meal and atmosphere, with authentic Palestinian dishes and generous hospitality. Worth a visit!

Really enjoyed the wholesome food and atmosphere 😍 Brother Muhammad's assistance was delightful 💯

Nothing short of exceptional, loved the hummus

I’ve been meaning to come here for ages, and now that I finally did, I hope to return frequently. Absolutely delicious food, friendly service, and a beautiful celebration of Palestine all around.

The best restaurant, good management, and the owner is a genuine Palestinian national. The best restaurant in London/England 10 to 10 Go and try it. 🇵🇸✌🏽🤍

The restaurant is not worth visiting - the service is bad, it is not clean, the restaurant smells bad, the food is on the floor - I left without ordering

Food: Absolutely love Palestinian foods as those are so delicious and high-quality foods. Recommendations to have foods from or in this restaurant... I would love to go there again... Service: After your meal, you will have to go and pay for your own foods and drinks at the cashier instead of servicer come to you for you to pay your own meal. No problems with communication issues. Atmosphere: Nice atmosphere as it would be nice to have a bit more of luxury Palestinian culture Atmosphere.

What a lovely spot! With great service and the food was top notch! Really enjoyed with friends! Would definitely recommend and go back!

Food was a bit cold and very average. Waiters forgot our orders. We were waiting 20 mins for the coffee itself. On top of that they add extra few pounds to bill, out of blue, just like that. Recommend only if you're in need of some fast food.

Very yummy food and great atmosphere. Me, my sister and our friend enjoyed delicious food a lot and we recommended this place to our friends, so they are very excited to visit your place too and try that delicious food. We had lots of different choices of food, at the end we got complimentary dessert, which we loved it too. Can't wait to visit that beautiful place. U fortunately we are living a bit far, but we will do our best to go there again. Really recommending.

AMAZING people and great food ✌️

Amazing service, food and atmosphere! Will definitely be returning.

Very nice place and very friendly!! The baklava is a dream 🥹

Best Palestinian kitchen in town. Never change.

Delicious food, super friendly staff, totally recommend it♥️

Very friendly staff , food great value and some really refreshing shakes. Recommended !!

Delicious Palestinian food & great service in this busy & bustlin’ casual diner. Highly recommend whether alone or especially so with friends.

Amazing x such warm and welcoming people.

I had iftar with 20ish friends here - the service was excellent, food was superb and served really fast. Good price and good portion.

Went there for dinner at 5:30 and was incredibly pleased with the service. It was fast and efficient to provide such a great service during the iftar rush, while i assume the staff were waiting to break their fasts themselves was impressive. As soon as we sat down we were given dates, olives and green peppers(Sivri Pepper) all complimentary with a drink called Jallob . I was intrigued by they drink and they kindly answered my questions and then came back to give me another cup which was kind, on top of that they even gave me an extra one in a takeaway container as i was leaving all without asking so that kind gesture made my night tbh. Another complimentary item was the Baklava which was delicious. I found then to be less sugary which i preferred compared to the Turkish ones i’m used to. We ordered the mixed mezzo for 2, my friend had the falafel wrap and i got the areyes. And we got mint tea and kunefe for dessert on top of the baklava. My friend and I spent £29 which we are pleased with and would definitely visit again.

Este lugar es genial si quieres buena comida saludable, y un servicio atento amable. El nivel de ruido me pareció demasiado alto y me resultó difícil disfrutar de la comida. Apenas podía oír lo que decía mi amigo, así que traté de comer lo más rápido posible para salir. Estábamos sentados arriba y cuando pedí la cuenta el camarero dijo que debía pagar abajo. así que imprimió un recibo y tuve que esperar abajo mientras mi amigo estaba afuera. Volvería a comer aquí, pero solo por la calidad de la comida y si recuerdo traer protectores para los oídos.

Lovely place, great service and owner is great. I would say its a must visit to support this small business.

Qué lugar increíble. El ambiente era genial. El personal muy servicial y amable y el propietario era muy atento... con té de cortesía y entrantes preliminares. Los falafels fueron los mejores que he comido... crujientes por fuera y sabrosos por el medio. Tuve la envoltura con ensalada, pero otros tenían una variedad de platos y todos eran favorables. ¿Iría de nuevo... un gran sí rotundo!

No complaints about the restaurant. Delivery took more than 1.5 hours as no driver was assigned

The workers and managers all work in a beautiful way and treat the clients each other beautifully. THE food is amazing .

He pasado por este lugar tantas veces y finalmente entré. Cerca de la estación de metro Baker Street. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. El personal era muy agradable, amable y acogedor. Muy buen servicio. La zona de estar de abajo es bastante pequeña y apretada, pero hay algunas mesas más arriba. Limpio. Yo era una persona, así que tenía el limón fresco y jugo de menta para beber y la mezcla de mezza (para uno) que era perfecto. Viene con pan plano. Muy agradable y refrescante. No demasiado pesado, ligero pero satisfactorio y un gran tamaño de porción a pesar de ser para uno. El jugo era tan agradable. ¡Podría haber tenido otro! No demasiado dulce y muy fresco. La comida sale rápidamente una vez que pides. Terminé con un té y el personal me dio un poco de baklava de cortesía, que también era encantador. Bonito ambiente relajado. Gran menú y sin duda volvería de nuevo. Si vas, y estás con otros, mejor pedir una variedad de platos y compartir. Fui un lunes por la noche cuando estaba ocupado, pero todavía había asientos disponibles. He pasado los fines de semana y tienden a estar llenos en las horas pico de comida. ¡Puedo ver por qué!

Excellent and authentic Palestinian restaurant in the heart of London. You should go and try some of the available dishes.

A very good Palestinian restaurant It serves pies and Levantine dishes, such as maqlouba, mujaddara, and also grilled meats. It also offers breakfast, which I recommend. A Palestinian restaurant that serves excellent popular food. I recommend it.

The food was really nice, but the waiters could do with a bit of training and a bit of patience. You feel like you are being rushed to place your order

De visita en la ciudad. Lo probé para cenar. ¡Deseamos que abran una sucursal en Montreal! Increíble ambiente cálido. La comida es perfectamente palestina. Muy sabrosa y deliciosa, con tantas opciones que necesitas una semana para probarlas todas. El personal es muy acogedor y cálido. Teníamos los Arayes y pollo shish - tawook. Recomiendo encarecidamente la limonada de menta. Definitivamente lo haría una parada regular siempre que esté en la ciudad.

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food!

I had the pleasure of visiting ShakeShuka, a Palestinian restaurant in London, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and promptly shown to my seat, setting the tone for the excellent service throughout my visit. The atmosphere was inviting and vibrant, creating the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable meal. I started with some appetizers, which were served quickly and were a delicious introduction to what was to come. Then, my main course arrived—a kofta meal that turned out to be the most delicious I've ever tasted! Each bite was bursting with flavor, and I truly took my time to savor it. To top off an already wonderful meal, the restaurant treated me to a piece of baklava, which was a delightful and sweet finish. Although the meal was a bit pricey, it was absolutely worth it for the quality, taste, and overall experience.

Este lugar fue mucho más allá de nuestras expectativas. Estábamos comiendo cuando la música se hizo más fuerte. Lo siguiente que hicimos fue bailar en medio del restaurante. Mucho amor en este lugar. Comida increíble, gente increíble.

Heerlijk gegeten voor een faire prijs. Super vriendelijke obers. Vers munt/ citroensap was verfrissend. Sakshuka met lamsworst een 10/10

Food is good, location is ideal, service is OK. We had a dinner there so the items were similar to many other Arab/Turkish restaurants.

Lentil soup was delicious. Simple and so tasty. A squeeze of lemon with a heaping bowl of fresh pita chips. Shakshuka with halloumi was okay.

Wonderful place, lovely authentic food and lovely people. Will visit again! Gets very busy!

Loved their shawarma; the taste is similar to proper arabic shawarma

Hicimos un viaje de ida y vuelta de 70 millas para comer allí hoy 25 / 12 y no estaba abierto a las 2 : 30 . Decía en la página web que estaba abierto, pero incluso llamamos y nadie contestó el teléfono. Muy decepcionado después de viajar tan lejos ☹️

The place was busy. Food was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary or special. Slightly overpriced in my opinion, but this is central London, so no real surprises. Service was good and food did not take long to arrive, from point of ordering. Main meal portions were decent, but I will pass on the desert next time.

Excellent food!! Friendly atmosphere

Brilliant the best in the world 5 starsi wish all restaurants could be like this

Fui a almorzar. Nos cuidaron mucho por Barakat. Sirvió eficiente y rápidamente nuestra comida. La comida era deliciosa y a un precio razonable. Sin duda recomendaría el lugar. Buena diversidad y opciones vegetarianas están disponibles

Bonne surprise avec ce restaurant palestinien , rencontré au hasard de nos déambulations Tout est bon , bien cuisiné , humus , moussaka , caviar d’aubergines , boulettes ,…. Bien sûr tout arrive en même temps Excellent rapport qualité prix Service sympa

Every visit to London I come to this place it's simply amazing

Delicious Palestinian food in London! Order the Shakeshuka it is yummy.

Beautiful, but very ordinary, what is special is our concerns and choices

Shake shuka always has good food!

Beyond words can describe! I crave their food whenever Im in town! The friendliest staff and the best food ! Bless them

Amazing Food & service ❤️ thank you

Great service and nice Mediterranean cuisine. The carrot juice is great!

How original Authentic to see the indigenous people of Palestine serving that stunning menu. Absolutely stunning service, extraordinary food , and the atmosphere exceptional. They are very busy, but they get things done quickly. I was very lucky today 😍

Nice food, friendly staff and great with kids

What an amazing restaurant, from the friendly and fast service to the delicious shakahuka vegetarian and the mezze with a tasting platter of one the best babaganush and hummus

Gran selección de comida. El servicio era simple y eficiente. Fuimos a mitad de la noche y nos sentamos arriba. El restaurante estaba ocupado sin ser demasiado ruidoso. En mi lista para volver a visitar cuando esté en el área

Pasé al azar y vi una tienda de comida palestina por primera vez en Londres, solo he estado en uno en el extranjero en Amsterdam. todo en la tienda ha sido el mejor en sabor de las aceitunas (que no como, pero quería probarlo aquí) la ensalada (sabía tan bien que incluso comí tomates, que normalmente no) y pollo shawama ps las salsas lo mejor para de ahí por qué digo el mejor lugar y finalmente el diseño interior junto con el servicio es excepcional

Best place I've eaten in a long time. Viva viva Falestina! The staff here are the most beautiful people you'll meet.

Cute little spot near the Baker St station. Food was great in this busy and bustling family friendly restaurant.

So yummy and the staff were so friendly

Come here for good food.. not the ambience. The lamb kibbeh is amazing and the shakshuka is *chefs kiss* wholesome and soul-nourishing. Zaataar is a great starter - Sesame heaven.

Since I discovered this spot am obsessed, the food the service is 10/10.

Never had palestinian food before, loved it
