Where Shukette appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
Worth it
- Address230 9th Ave, New York, NY 10001
- From my guide, updated January 2024.
Serving hot plates of tantalizing Middle Eastern fare, Shukette is a true gem. Plates of steaming, perfectly spiced meats, bread, and vegetables are prepared and presented beautifully before locals who are wide-eyed and hungry.
The modern Middle Eastern plates are curated by chef Ayesha Nurdjaja (previously of Shuka, and a James Beard Award Finalist for Best Chef NY) so it’s no surprise Shukette is considered one of the greats. It’s also worth mentioning that the Chelsea restaurant is best frequented with friends because there’s a plethora of dips and shareable appetizers.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
