About Shaku Maku
Middle Eastern Diner What is Shaku Maku? Roughly translated, it means: ‘What’s the story?’ Shaku Maku is a riddle, a playful paradox, and an invitation to share: ‘What’s the story?’ or even ‘What is everything and nothing...?’ We are excited to share authentic dishes from across the Middle East in our first restaurant in the heart of Rathmines.
