Shouk

Top choice in Washington, DC


Fast and casual, Shouk creates big flavor in its vegan menu of Israeli street food, served with craft beer and tap wines. A crazy-good burger made of chickpeas, black beans, lentils and mushrooms gets stuffed into a toasty pita with pickled turnips, arugula and charred onions. The mushroom-and-cauliflower pita and sweet-potato fries with cashew labneh (creamy 'cheese') are lip smacking.

Shouk's rustic wood tables, exposed-brick walls and pantry shelves made from repurposed crates give it a funky, industrial vibe. Get ready to wrestle the crowds at lunchtime.
