At The Commons Thonglor, the recently opened Baba Shuk serves up Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the markets of Tel Aviv.
The menu focuses on Israeli flavors, including, of course, hummus—prepared using traditional methods—and soft pita breads.
Owners Anchal Pathela and Chet Srikuruwal of Sourced deli, also in The Commons, opened Baba Shuk to serve up meat plates, falafel, and all the Middle Eastern favorites to the Thonglor crowd.
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 (THB400), harissa chicken (THB400), lamb (THB550), and a beef and lamb mix (THB500).
Hummus flavors come in regular (THB180), smoky (THB200), and Hummus Baba Shuk (THB250) featuring eggplant, boiled egg, s’chug, harissa, and amba tahini. This spot also offers small plates of baba ganoush with walnuts and pomegranate molasses (THB200), the shakshuka with feta cheese, and muhammara with red pepper and walnut.
The new resto is 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.
The Commons Thonglor is a short ride from BTS Thong Lo.
