Editorial Review for Le Souk – by Rachel King
In Short
Hookahs and dim lighting evoke opium dens and harems. The staff is young and comely; the Middle Eastern pop music on the stereo is loud and fast. And just when you think a belly dancer is the only thing missing, voila: A scantily clad woman comes gyrating into the room. The menu includes the souk combination (tuna on a bed of vegetables), tagines, baklava and chocolate mousse cake.

My lamb was so tender and delicious, and overall the food was very flavorful. The entertainment was fun and not too in-your-face, a problem I've seen at other Moroccan restaurants. The service was super prompt. Decor was cool, too. Another plus was that the tables were too close and crowded together (again at other Moroccan restaurants, I've felt like I was being corraled in like sheep). I went with a friend but this would be the perfect group spot...something different and fun.
Pros: Nice Ambience with cadel light.very good hookah

Just like the models that prance around the garden dining room you will find it in the rear of the restaurant , this restaurant is hot. The ambiance is wonderful and specially for out of towner being in New York surrounded by tropical plants in the middle of glass building it tells you have definitely landed in Morocco. They always have a wonderful couscous, nice fish dishes, and classic Moroccan fare. When in season, the stuffed zucchini's and papers are very tasty. Le Souk always has a Dj spinning cool lounge music. It is a great prelude to a wild nite after. Helpful hints - Only go when there is nice weather, - don't go unless you get a table in the courtyard, - make reservations in advance and be punctual
Pros: Very good food,Nice Music and Warm Ambience
Cons: No parking around and the couurt yard is enclosed
