A labryinth of nooks, Souk is packed full of North African motif, incy wincy little waiters and enough incense to gag a cad. I am asthmatic. I nearly came to an untimely end at Souk. Yet, as sweated and swayed uncomfortably in and out of consciousness in my little private booth (which was gloriously decorated with medieval torture devices and lewd liphographs) I could still hear the sound of what appeared to be a most charming waiter and taste one of the most wonderous vine leave pockets I've have ever had. The pitta was a bit hard, but I was alive.

The décor here is superb. You feel as though you have been transported to morocco and are in North Africa. The ambience is very good and this place is great for a date or to chill with friends. The food is average though. The mixed grill is decent but most of the other dishes are ok but there is a lot better near by. Thus if your looking for somewhere to enjoy the surrounding sand not bothered about the food then this is a good place to go.

This is quite a new venue that I've been to only once, if I had the money I'd definitely make it a frequent thing. I love the entrance, which is a spiral staircase with rose petals that follow you downstairs. The decor is exquisite with carved wood surrounding you, low tables and cushions. The cocktails are tasty but about £14 each. The highlight of the night are the belly dancers that attempt to get you to join in. A place to eat, drink and dance, a brilliant night all round.

A Moroccan souk in the centre of Covent Garden – it feels authentic in food and dècor and is reasonably priced. For a romantic evening out or any kind of group celebration, the souk does not do things by halves. Getting past the excellent selection of mezze is an art, but that leads you to the aromatic baked dishes and finally to the baklava to-die-for! Insider’s tip: try the cocktails – deliciously different! Avoid: ordering the set menu, its impossible to eat all the food and is not worth the cost, select dishes you like from the menu and share – the pitas just keep on coming!

This great moroccan hideaway is situated just off leicester square and you have to know it is there to find it, so do yourself a favour and print off a map now..its well worth a visit.

The food is authentic and a choice of meze or main meals, they will cater for groups no matter how big.

The restaurant is very interesting and walking down the narrow staircase through tiny, dark passage ways adds to the atmosphere and the feeling of being truely away from the real world.

In a big group its a great place you can lounge on the sumptious cushions and watch the belly dancers and even join in if you fancy it.

And the best bit... for central london its very well priced.

One of the best Moroccan restaurants in London (in my opinion), Souk is a gorgeous little hideaway off Seven Dials in Covent Garden, offering the charm and delights of a real Moroccan haven.
The food is great quality and pretty good value, with the option of nibbles, or mains. The cocktails are also pretty good (especially the mojitos) and I always always give in to a plate of Baklava!
The sad fact is that you can no longer smoke sheesha inside as we always used to do, but this does not stop Souk from being a great place for dinner with friends, or an escape from the day to day drudgery of London.
