“This restaurant has a large selection of vegetarian and vegan options. I had the fava bean salad. So many other dishes to order, so little time! The beans were marinated in a dressing and was the perfect quantity. So delicious, with warm pita bread served. Our server wasn’t delight. They offer indoor and outdoor seating.“
“A hidden gem. Upon entering the cozy, warmly lit space of Shishka , the aroma of grilled meats and spices immediately tantalized my senses. The decor transported me to the heart of Beirut with its low key parisian vibe, mosaic tiles and traditional music playing softly in the background.For starters, the hummus was velvety smooth, topped with a generous drizzle of high-quality olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, served alongside warm, pillowy pita bread. The tabbouleh was a refreshing mix of finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and bulgur, dressed in a zesty lemon vinaigrette that awakened the palate. The mulukhia brought tears to my eyes as it reminded me of my mom's home cooking.The mixed grill platter was a carnivore's delight, featuring succulent pieces of marinated chicken, kibbeh and kebabs. Each bite was perfectly charred on the outside while remaining tender and juicy within. The accompanying garlic sauce was a revelation, adding a pungent kick that complemented the smoky flavors of the meat.Vegetarians would not feel left out, as the falafel was expertly crafted—crispy on the outside, yet soft and flavorful on the inside, with hints of cumin and coriander. It was served with a side of tahini sauce that provided a creamy, nutty balance to the dish.To end the meal, the milk pudding was a sweet masterpiece, with layers of nuts, and raisins and just the right amount of orange blossom water and honey syrup that sweetened without overwhelming.Service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly, with Henry eager to share his knowledge of the dishes and ensure a pleasant dining experience.Shishka offered me and my family an authentic taste of Lebanese cuisine,it was for my daughter's birthday dinner, with each dish showcasing the fresh ingredients and rich flavors that make this culinary tradition so beloved. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the delights of Middle Eastern food.“

“First time and can’t wait to come back. Our waiter was a nice young man who helped us with the menu. We ordered a bunch of hot appetizers and made a meal of it. Would be a great choice for a group too as there are so many small dishes to share. Try it!“

My favorites are anything with the akawi cheese, the egg cheese and sujuk is amazing, and the Zaatar and labneh is refreshing.“
