Le Souk

Le Souk is a Moroccan and Middle Eastern restaurant on Staunton Street in Soho. Opening hours are 5pm to 2am (dinner) daily. The restaurant is neatly decorated in Moroccan theme with wall art and hanging lanterns like what you might remember from trips to Tangiers or Marrakech. Staff are friendly, attentive and timely with their service as well. Menu features a range of tagine, cous cous and other Moroccan affair along with Middle Eastern favourites providing a good range of options for groups of friendly who might fancy dining here. During our meal we tried the baba ganoush with pita. A bit light on the tahini, the roasted eggplant texture was nice and the taste ok. It is decent cold mezze order. We also tried the vegetable tagine neatly served in a tagine pot. The seasonable vegetables were fresh and stewed well. Again, not as flavourful as we had hoped, this did feel like a safe choice for those seeking strictly veggie options. Best order on the evening was the Cous Cous a Le Souk, a large portion of lamb shank well roasted, served with cous cous and a flavourful bowl of veggie soup. The soup tasted great The lamb was tender and sweetly flavoured, we both quite enjoyed this order. In the end, we found Le Souk to be a fair restaurant but less enjoyed than other Middle Eastern restaurants around the city. We probably liked the environs more than the food here. It is a fun restaurant for groups, something worth considering if you are missing Morocco or Moroccan food.
