A new offering at the Commons Thonglor, the recently opened Baba Shuk serves up Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the markets of Tel Aviv. 

 

On the menu, you’ll find a focus on Israeli flavors, including, of course, hummus—prepared using traditional methods—and soft pita breads. 

 

From co-owners Anchal Pathela and Chet Srikuruwal behind the Sourced deli at the same location, this is a new Mediterranean spot for the Thonglor crowd serving up meat plates, falafel, and all the Middle Eastern favorites. 

 

Their kebab plates come with a selection of pickle and herb sides, hummus, and pita—a particularly fluffy variety that comes hot and ready to dip. Expect meat on the metal in chicken (B400), harissa chicken (B400), lamb (B550), and a beef and lamb mix (B500). 

 

The hummus comes in regular (B180), smoky (B200), and Hummus Baba Shuk (B250) featuring eggplant, boiled egg, s’chug, harissa, and amba tahini. This spot also offers small plates of baba ganoush with walnuts and pomegranate molasses (B200), the shakshuka with feta cheese, and muhamarra with red pepper and walnut. 

 

The new resto is found on the first main floor of the Commons Thonglor, tucked in the corner and with nearby Commons seating. A tip for those who go there for lunch: their lamb and beef might not be ready, so grab the chicken.
