About Shenkin

Food at Shenkin

The menu mixes Middle Eastern and European dishes. Reviewers keep naming the Angelita, a plate big enough to share, the Sabih with eggplant, and the shakshuka, often with haloumi and eggplant added on the side. Dishes arrive in grilled flatbread wraps or in pans with soft bread, with pickled vegetables on the side. A granola bowl with fresh fruit suits lighter appetites, and there are vegetarian and vegan options.
