Reviews for Shook in Toronto, ON
This was an AMAZING experience. I would say this restaurant is in my top 10. The food is delicious, the tea is just exquisite,... and I really had a great time here. The customer service was good, nice staff. I'd only suggest to the waiters/waitresses not toask every 5 minutes if we need something, can feel overwhelmed. More than that, it is Excellent ???????????????????????? Read more
I went for dinner here with my friends. It is a good place for vegeterian food. We ordered a dip for combined appetizer and... separate orders for dinner. The bread that came with appetizer was just out of this world. Really soft and full of flavour. Iordered the eggplant schnitzel for my main. It was really tasty. Serving size was also pretty good. Looking at my friends foodserving size looked pretty good as well and they liked their order as well. Customer service was also pretty good. I think theonly small thing was that the food was a little pricey for being vegetarian food. But I guess because of the ambience andlocation this much price is expected. Read more
This restaurant is in a very hip area and the interior was very nice. The music was quite loud and we had to speak at the top of... our voice in order to be able to hear each other at the table. We ordered the Sangria which was 40 bucks for 4 servings and itwas a tiny jar. It was overpriced for the amount. We ordered the Mutabal and it only comes with 1 bread. Since we were 5 at thetable, we ordered 4 more and each piece of bread was $3. That’s also over priced. The dip is quite a good portion and tastedvery good but the dip to bread proportion was not proportional. For the main course, I ordered the dumplings and I did not likethe taste. It was $22 and I couldn’t get through the whole meal. My friend ordered the shakshuka which was oily. The eggplantschnitzel was good and a big portion. My total bill came up to over $50 and I don’t think it was a great bang for the buck. Read more
I was presently surprised to learn that this place was vegetarian. Without having to worry about my dietary restrictions,... ordered the chef’s selection. It was more than enough dishes to fill you up, and still had more for takeaway. The food wasgood, not great. It was very much open concept, you can see the chefs in the kitchen right across from the tables. Which iscool in its own way. Docking one star for the ambiance. The actual table we got seemed more like a stool, and when all of theplates started coming out from the chef’s selection the servers barely had a place to put them, so some were hanging off thetables. Also they were very tight together. If you had a party of 3-4 then you’re guaranteed a nice bigger table, likely witha velvet lined bench. However if you’re only 2 people they crammed you together that if you were to get up, you’d hit theperson behind and beside you. By the end of the night I couldn’t hear the guest across from me at all, and my throat ended upbeing sore from the shouting. I will add though, the server and waitstaff were incredible attentive, and took our comments andsuggestions to heart. PS, don’t order the feta olives, they are incredibly salty. Do get the eggplant schnitzel, andfalafel, and chocolate mousse. Read more
I have been to Shook multiple times within the last month and the food/drinks never disappoints! The quality remains consistent,... the service is always top-notch and the ambience/vibe of the place is always clean, beautiful and pleasant to be around. If youare looking for a great brunch place, or somewhere to just read your book while you enjoy a creamy cup of latte, please visitthis place! You won’t be disappointed! Read more
Found this place because I was looking for something other than meat. I love Middle Eastern food so this place for the bill. ... The ambiance is casual and very cool. There is a nice big open kitchen. The cocktails were really good and made fast. The foodwas very good but some dishes has a bit too much sauce for my taste. That is personal so don’t judge. Expect to pay a premiumbut if you are looking for non meat options. Worth a try. Read more
Excellent service, delicious food and awesome spot overall! We went for brunch and all our dishes were fresh and super tasty.... The big windows around and open concept kitchen also add a nice touch, creating a great atmosphere. Read more
It's been a while since I last did a review but this place was great! It's not always easy to find a brunch place that takes... reservations and this one would be worth the wait even if it didn't. The shakshouka was amazing but it's the fresh pita that itcomes with that really elevates it! You don't even realize it's vegetarian because every dish is so well done and balanced. Read more
