Shoo Shoo Nolita had been on my list for a while, so I was excited to finally check it out. Walking in, I immediately loved the vibe--warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool. The Mediterranean-inspired decor, with soft lighting and earthy tones, made it feel like the kind of place you could linger for hours. I started with the hummus and pita, and wow--it was some of the smoothest, most flavorful hummus I've ever had. The pita was warm and fluffy, perfect for scooping up every last bite. For my main, I went with the chicken schnitzel, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. It came with a simple but refreshing salad that balanced the dish really well. The only thing that threw me off was the slow service. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it definitely took a while to get drinks, and waiting for the check felt like forever. The staff was friendly when they did come around, but it seemed like they were a little overwhelmed. Overall, the food and ambiance made up for the wait, and I'd definitely come back--just maybe when I'm not in a hurry. It's the perfect spot for a slow, relaxed meal with good company and great flavors.

This is such a reliable pick for a NYC dinner. Whether it be din with friends, out-of-towners, date night, group night, I'd highly recommend coming here. The menu is littered with crowd-pleasers. I had the burger (frequently cited as one of the best burgers in NYC) and YES I absolutely agree that it should be on those lists. The hummus comes in a massive bowl and you will be eating every last bit and throwing it on everything. I swept up the last bit of hummus with my burger and I have no regrets about it. The shakshuka is a great pick for vegetarians out there. Herb fries were good, not anything too mindblowing, but they make for fantastic lil vessels to get more hummus.

One of the more lowkey places in NOLITA. Here's what you should know: 1. Reservations recommended. Check Resy.. especially for brunch 2. Above average cocktails and tea/coffee options 3. Excellent portion size, especially for soho. 4. That fried chicken sandwich is a must get 5. Pretty quick service and good vibe. It has a more lowkey feel while still being trendy.

Dear Shoo Shoo, That is for the wonderful night! So yum! The Israeli Salad and the Shoo Shooka shooshook my night, and not my bank account! Food was perfectly cooked and there was plenty of it, no tiny plates that left you wanting to grab a "second dinner" on the way home. Did I love it? Yes. Will I be back again? Yes! Xxo, Liana

An amazing restaurant that had no problem hosting our group of 10. The appetizers and drinks were amazing. I definitely recommend ordering the hummus to share. Our servers were extremely polite and attentive. It does get loud so I wouldn't recommend coming here for a date but it's great for a big group!

I visited again with an even bigger crew of family, 14 people in total. We ended up taking two booths outside. Emmy, our server, was incredibly patient with our unruly brood. I got the fish balls again, and this time, the sauce was perfect. It wasn't spicy at all, just yummy shakshuka-like tomato sauce. My table cleaned that plate this time. Everyone enjoyed the hummus and labneh that we shared. Many got the lamb ragout on mashed potatoes and loved them. I ordered the beyond harissa burger, and it was divine. I actually woke up this morning dreaming about it. The crunch of their pickles and the flavor in that sandwich lives in my mind rent-free. We were celebrating my niece's graduation and ended the meal with baklava. We got two plates: one regular and the other mixed. The mixed were cold and seemed stale, I cannot recommend these. I wish we had only ordered plain pistachio because these flavors were fresh and delicious. I don't think people order the combo baklava very often, so they sit in their fridge or freezer for months while the traditional pistachio get more turnover. I also had the mi tierra mezcal and trails cocktail again. It's still delicious

Very tasty Mediterranean fare! Everything was super flavorful without being overly salty. There are many mezze to choose from. Our favorite is the falafel salad with tahini and the warm hummus! The Moroccan fish ball was also a highlight for me because I love a good saucy dish that comes with bread. It was spicy and warming! Our server was attentive and cheery and we opted to sit outside on a warm spring day. It was the perfect little night out we needed.

My friend and I enjoyed our dinner at Shoo Shoo the other night. We chose to split some small plates and the burger, which was the perfect amount for 2! Thoughts on the food: - Baba ga noo shoo was delicious! I wish there was slightly more pita provided as we had some left over at the end, but we just made sure to keep the dish for the fries that came later. - Arugula salad was solid, too. We chose to get it without steak knowing we would be getting the burger as well. There was a lot more cilantro (on the menu classified as herbs) than I anticipated, so just keep that in mind if you're not a big cilantro fan - Harissa burger got solid reviews online so I was excited to try it, but to me it wasn't anything special. We also had ordered it medium, and it came out medium well. Fries were good! I do want to give a shout out to the staff though- service was great and very friendly! They were able to accommodate us when we came before our reservation time, and we didn't feel rushed with our meal either. All in all, would recommend.
