Diners enjoy the nice weather at Shouk in Rockville. Photo by David Holzel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fans of shwarma made from mushrooms and burgers whose main ingredient is eggplant have a new option in Rockville, since the Israeli street food and kosher restaurant Shouk<\/a> opened last week.<\/p>\n

Located at Montrose Shopping Center, 5568 Randolph Road, next to Mom\u2019s Organic Market, the plant-based restaurant is the third Shouk location in the Washington area. A Bethesda location, in Westwood Shopping Center, is slated to open in the winter.<\/p>\n

On a warm afternoon last week, customers ate lunch at tables outside. Inside, music echoed between mustard-colored walls. On one wall, the eye of a hamsa, a Middle Eastern amulet popular in Israel, looked down on the service area. Behind the corrugated metal counter, staff prepared lunch orders: falafel, hummus and Dizengoff Salad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s street food that you\u2019d see in a shuk,\u201d an open-air market in Israel, said owner and founder Ran Nussbacher, explaining why he chose the name Shouk for his restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cA shuk represents real ingredients, colors, flavors \u2014 all the things you see when you go to a market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nussbacher said he sees his customer base as coming from \u201cPotomac to Silver Spring \u2014 Bethesda, North Bethesda, Kemp Mill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted,\u201d said Sara Rubinow Simon, who had come to pick up lunch with her husband, Rabbi Matthew Simon. \u201cThe more kosher places the better.\u201d<\/p>\n
