About
LaShuk Street Food — solid, no-fuss middle eastern in Loop. Order the Falafel. It gets busy, and that's part of the appeal. "Their hummus is easily some of the best I’ve had, with a rich, amazingly creamy texture" — Charles Rhee

I was under the impression that this was Israeli food but I couldn't get any matzo, no brisket, no gifelte fish, no mezitz bpeh here.
This restaurant in the Sterling Food Hall is clean and well put together. The staff is okay.
I was really disappointed with my experience at Lashuk.

“La Shuk is a great little find in the food court.”
La Shuk is a great little find in the food court. Everything we tried was really good. The eggplant with hummus and chickpeas was super tasty and comforting, and the chicken shawarma was awesome—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Easy spot to grab something delicious without overthinking it. Would definitely eat here again when I visit Chicago.

“A bit of a hidden gem for Middle Eastern food.”
A bit of a hidden gem for Middle Eastern food. We were at the Sterling Food Hall and a lot of the restaurants were closing. Fortunately, LaShuk was open and delicious. Everything was made fresh and the falafel melted in my mouth. The hummus was on point and the pita was divine. Bon Appetit!

“We really enjoyed their super fresh and flavorful creations.”
We really enjoyed their super fresh and flavorful creations. The Falafel Hummus Bowl was great (although it missed the ordered Baba Ganoush). The real revelation, however, was the Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Bowl (with some really hot Zhug): juicy and bursting with flavors! Our four pita breads could have benefited from a bit more roasting time, but this is of course subjective. Small suggestion for the owners: having Malabi not only for dine-in but also on the delivery menu would be a great addition.

I arrived before they opened but the staff was kind enough to take my order anyways. Food was ready quickly and was healthy and delicious! I got the Zaatar Chicken Rice Platter and am already planning to come back and get it again during my trip. The employees were so friendly and made my experience a great one. Thank you!

“My wife and I stopped at LaShuk, and felt like we were kicked back to Israel.”
My wife and I stopped at LaShuk, and felt like we were kicked back to Israel. The humus was fabulous creamy and fresh, the pita bread was fresh and warm, and the shawarma had the flavor of my home town. Thank you Yosi for the experience. We will be back.
