My Trip to Savannah: Shuk Mediterranean

Shuk, Savannah

I was looking for a vegetarian restaurant for Jodi and could not really find a pure vegetarian place in Savannah, rather restaurants serving vegetarian or vegan dishes. But, I stumbled upon Shuk, a restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. I knew she would love it as much as I did and so, we walked past Forsyth Park to find this place, a bit off the beaten path. It was early as we were going to have an early dinner since we booked a 7pm ghost tour and the place was not that busy at that time. I started off my meal with a mocktail: the Virgin Winter Escape ($8), that was made with non-alcoholic mint, almond and creamy (something dairy, might have been milk). Interesting taste, good and refreshing. We then shared the sabich sandwich ($15), one of our favorites, made with fried eggplant, mango Amba, tahini egg salad and Israeli salad. I loved it: the versions I had in the past had a boiled egg, and I thought that the tahini egg salad gave some creaminess to the sandwich that was very comforting, squeezed in a delicious pita that was pillowy. The second dish we shared was their falafel bowl ($15), composed of perfectly made falafel, that were slightly crispy on the outside and not dry, tahini, pearl couscous, Israeli salad, pickled onion and hummus. I really loved the dish that was packed in flavor, the couscous being cooked with spices that made the dish very tasty.

This was a nice meal and, we would not have any other plan, I would have had another dish, like their baklava waffle that sounds promising. I definitely recommend his place!

Enjoy (I did)!
