Welcome to Shakeshuka
A home, a hub, a heartbeat.
Over the years, Shakeshuka has become more than a space, it’s a community.
A gathering point for authors, artists, activists, filmakers, changemakers and everyone who stands with Palestine, united in their voice, their creativity and their commitment to justice. In these walls, conversations have sparked, connections have grown, and the fight for peace has been held with strength, dignity and hope.
ShakeShuka, the brainchild of Haleem Kherallah from Palestine. Drawing inspiration from his mother’s cherished recipes and the bountiful fresh ingredients found in Palestine, Haleem has created a unique dining experience in the heart of London. Situated in the vibrant streets of Marylebone, ShakeShuka proudly stands as the first Palestinian restaurant in the city. With every bite, diners are transported to the authentic tastes of Palestine.
