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.

Worst Place and Food is like a Garbage !

by Nihaoxinjay at Citysearch

They saving the empty bottles of Vodka or Gray Goose and Poring instead of that 85% of Water and 15% of China Town Home Made Vodka again,and Selling it like a Original Grace Goose,or any kind of Vodka for 600-700$ per bottle !

This is the only one reason why their business didn't work out luckily by God ! They lost the license for the Alcohol because of cheating people by making Fake Vodka's ! Fu.....C thous Pussies by name JACOB Brothers !

  • Pros: The Worst Place in New York,
  • Cons: Owners is a Mother.............

The best for Hookah, Dancing, and Dinner

by MFDemby at Citysearch

I will miss this place. They always had a great vibe. The DJs with some of the best music, great food, fast and long lasting hookah, and a friendly staff and crowd. Everything came together in a large space that felt incredibly unique to New York. Le Souk will be remembered as a landmark that changed the neighborhood.

Whenever I think of hookah, I think Le Souk. Whenever I think belly dancing, I think of Le Souk. Whenever I think of the Alphabet City or even the Lower East side, I think of Le Souk. For me, Le Souk was the place to go for great food, belly dancing, and hookah.

They will surely be missed.

  • Pros: Everything
  • Cons: they are now closed

flat out disgusting

by ericzig at Citysearch

I attended as part of a group of about 20 this past weekend. We were seated in a back area which looked similar to a turkish prison and smelled of mold and mildew. We were told because of the group size we would have to order from a price-fix menu at $45 which is understandable; however 1 person in the group has food alergies and when asked the manager for a regular menu was told NO! The food was flat out disgusting - I was really surprised I didnt get sick from it. The main course - chicken breast looked and tasted like some cross between cat food and canned chicken. Dessert was never served and instead a check was brought to the table. Waitstaff barely spoke English and the service was poor. The entire place was filthy - the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. Overall a terrible experience- i would never go back and neither should anyone else

  • Pros: didnt get sick
  • Cons: everything
