I really like this place, the food is good, the service is excellent and the vibe is super nice. The music is trendy and it’s often packed. Good spot

Souk is tucked away on a side street just off the Seven Dials in the Covent Garden area of London. It is like a little pocket of North Africa in the centre of the city. First, you walk through a covered terrace full of shisha pipes and cushions, before reaching the main restaurant which itself is beautifully decorated in a similar vein.
A excellent place to go. Great atmosphere and the place itself is good. Nice interior designs. The lamb steak was good. The chicken tagine could been more spicy.
I loved the place. With middle eastern music in the background, belly dancing as entertainment and amazing food, there is nothing more that you will need here.
I tried the Casablanca feast menu as our server recommended this to us. The meze consists of pitta bread, falafel, humous, vine leaves n salad. The pitta bread was warm and fresh. The falafel tasted too good. It has been ages that I tasted original falafels freshly prepared. By the time meze was finished, frankly i was full but mains were yet to come.
The mains contained tagine of chick peas, tangine of chicken, couscous, lamb. I particularly liked the lamb and tagine of chick peas.
We finished our dinner with bakhlava and Moroccan mint tea.
Amazing service, great food and lovely warm and welcoming.. Will go again
Really great food, wonderful atmosphere, a little pricey. Electronic shisha that you can smoke inside
Not a bad little hidden local in Covent Garden. I had walked past this place a number of times as I work in the neighbourhood, and it always looked interesting - especially being hidden off the side of Neal's Yard. I went with a friend and we had a table downstairs on a Friday night. The service was not bad and the starters we had (orange, feta & olive salad; an aubergine dish; and haloumi, were all very nice). The main course of Red Mullet Tajine was okay, and the deserts (go for the homemade ones, not the cakes which are bought in) were nice too. The tables and chairs are very low (so beware tall men!) and the place has a very nice vibe. They belly dancer came around 8pm and was fun too. Good place for friends to catch up or a good spot for a first date.
Would not go for a romantic date but great for an office party! Good food, ambience and service for a large number.
We noticed that the quality of the couscous is not always the same and can be sometimes not quite as good. There are probably several chefs… It remains really good anyway!
I absolutely love this place. It is a Lebanese restaurant, which you will be able to tell as soon as you walk in. There has been a lot of thought put into the décor, there are red curtains, a tarot card reader by the entrance and lots of patterns. lanterns are used for the decorations as well as lighting.
We were greeted by a friendly waiter and he took us to our table, which was very comfortable and had lots of pattern cushions o the chairs. My friend and I both ordered the lamb tagine because it looked so good on the menu.
Food arrived within 5 minutes and the tagine was just perfection. There was so much flavour in everything, the lamb was seasoned and cooked well, the vegetables were seasoned well and the sauce was amazing. Food gets a 10/10.
This place has such a nice ambiance that my friend and I just sat there for a while chatting after we had finished eating. The lighting creates such an intimate setting and with music in the background, which was very calm, and not too loud, and I found it to be very relaxing. So the atmosphere gets a 10/10 too.
If you want to smoke shisha there is a different branch you can go to, but his place is perfect if you wan to have dinner. The service was exceptional and I would definitely recommend this place.
Delicious Moroccan food and lovely service. Visited for a catch up with friends and our group shared the Marrakesh and Casablanca feasts which we all really loved. Our service was kind and attentive, offering excellent recommendations. I am not sure why others have given low reviews but we loved our experience and would certainly come back.
Superb restaurant, had the lamb and chicken tagines with cous cous for main courses as part of a 4 course set menu. All the food was delicious, big portion sizes, we could barely finish. Hummus, halloumi, and yoghurt with bread for starter, Baklava for dessert was great too and finished off with a nice mint tea.
Interior is lovely, very authentic Moroccan, relaxing and vibrant atmosphere. Amazing value for money, using Tastecard.
Service was outstanding and friendly from Mehdi and Walid. Thank you guys, we will be back again and reccomend this place to everyone.
The food was amazing ! Tagine was not as good as what you get in Morroco, but still really nice for London. Hummus lacked slight salt but its good for those with hypertension - so no complaints. Really nice vibe ✨️
Walid and Mehdi made us feel at home in this cosy Moroccon restaurant. Food was excellent with large portions.
Will certainly go back.
This is an amazing experience. A little piece of Marakesh in the heart of London. The staff are exquisite and the food is absolutely wonderful . I would whole heartedly, recommend this place.. if not of the belly dancing and the food and the tea and the baklava ...... then, at least, for the wonderful staff who make the experience just so special.
Brilliant restaurant, delicious food, excellent service and reasonable prices. Lovely decor inside. Very authentic.
This spot is a hidden gem that transports you to the vibrant and flavourful world of Middle Eastern and North African cuisine.

Step into Souk Restaurant and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.
What a gem of a place my friend and I found for a pre-theatre dinner very close to St Martins theatre on Monday! The authentic Moroccan decor, delicious food was a lovely surprise and we really felt like we were in Morocco with the local music playing in the background! Our young very attentive waiter was a relative of the owner, very sweet guy. My coat even matched the beautiful upholstery haha! 😁
The food was tasty! We ordered from the set menu and had the Marrakech feast, my gosh it was a feast for kings! The food was fresh and service we got was great. The Mint tea was delicious as well! Will definitely be coming back and with more people to share the feast! We only managed to get a picture of starters and we was too excited to tuck into the Tagine!
Starter mezze served hot, the falaffel light and crispy without being dry, the halloumi (or another, similar cheese?) evenly fried. There’s warm pita bread and mild nutty hummus on demand. Personnel very friendly, arab-speaking (Moroccan) and laid back. Service is generally well timed. We had the Marrakech menu with lamb and chicken tagine. The broth was slightly sweet and needed balancing with a dollop of harissa. One of us had a glass of Oulod Thalek (sorry if i misspell the name, it’s a full wine, a bit like a Gamay) and the other had fresh mint tea. To conclude the meal, a selection of baklava that was small yet satisfactory, our bellies filled to the brim. Disclaimer: I have never visited North Africa but having lived many years in Paris i felt that Souk provides similarly authentic flavours.
