What to Order at SHŌSH

SHŌSH (shosh.nyc) is a plant-based Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar on Greenwich Avenue in the West Village, serving Israeli cooking that its own site describes as 100% plant-based and certified Kosher, checked in mid-July 2026. Chef Anat Sidi and her brother Eran built the menu around their mother's recipes from Netanya, Israel, and it runs as shareable small plates, so knowing what to order helps. This guide covers the dishes to get, what to know about the room, and how to actually land a table. DinnerElite tracks SHŌSH and emails you the moment a table opens.

What should you order at SHŌSH?

SHŌSH runs as shareable small plates, so build a spread across dips, vegetables, and something hearty. Start with the baba ganoush, a smoky eggplant dip served with warm za'atar focaccia that reviewers single out, and add the falafel with chopped salad and tahini for the classic done well. The celeriac shawarma is the dish to order if you want the room's most-talked-about plate, carving a vegetable into the spiced, charred texture of the real thing. From the vegetable plates, the curry squash with peanut sauce and the artichoke with confit and caper aioli bring contrast, and the plant-based kebab delivers the smoky, charred depth the kitchen is known for. Finish with the halva silan, vanilla ice cream with candied pecans and date syrup. It is a wine bar too, with a kosher list, so ask the staff to pair a glass across the table. Order broadly, since the plates are built to share.

What should you know about the room at SHŌSH?

SHŌSH sits at 41 Greenwich Avenue in the West Village, a small, intimate room that reviewers describe as cozy and warm. The kitchen is 100% plant-based, and per the restaurant's own site checked in mid-July 2026, it is certified Kosher by the IKC, which is rare for a room this ambitious. The concept is personal rather than a trend play: it is built around the family's matriarch and her Netanya recipes, so the cooking reads as home food refined for a restaurant rather than a vegan novelty. The menu is designed for sharing across many small plates, so it works best with a group. Because the room is small and the plant-based Mediterranean angle draws a steady crowd, prime dinner slots book up early.

How do you actually get a table at SHŌSH?

SHŌSH takes reservations on Resy, and dinner runs Tuesday through Sunday from 5 PM with brunch added on Saturday and Sunday, per its own site checked in mid-July 2026. Because it is closed Mondays, the booking calendar is smaller than a seven-day room, which tightens weekend prime times in particular. The room is intimate, so tables turn over and cancellations open seats through the night. If the app shows nothing for the date you want, a last-minute opening is a real possibility. That is where an alert helps. DinnerElite watches SHŌSH around the clock and emails you the moment a seat opens, whether from a fresh release or someone else's cancellation. We send alerts and never book automatically. The one exception is our Expert plan, where a human on our team books hard tables on your behalf.
