Le Souk
When the Jacob brothers, Sammy and Marcus, opened Le Souk, they based it upon a traditional Middle Eastern open-air market. There are five distinct areas: the dining room, patio, open-air garden, tent, and lounge. Le Souk is dripping with seduction and debauchery. They have belly dancing lessons every night but Sunday, and gorgeous women are shaking their hips as their dates are toking on the hookah. Talk about setting the mood. Prepare your senses to be on overdrive with robust North African/Moroccan cuisine complemented by illuminated lanterns, exquisite tiles, and a saturation of color. It doesn’t get much sexier than this—just remember that beautiful things come with a price tag and LOTS of attitude. (Seriously, some of the staff here will put you off ever returning.)

Love it

This place is great. It was seriously over crowded on a Saturday night, and the wait online was long, but I thought it was totally worth it. Great music, and hookah, and drinks...what could be better? The decor is really cool as well, a little overpriced but hey its an awesome spot. I definitely want to go back during the week and try the food.

Authentic Cuisine meets Seductive Ambiance

What do you get when you combine Authentic North African Cuisine with Middle Eastern Ambiance? The answer is Le Souk! While your tastebuds are being tantalized by cuisines such as Lamb and Chicken Tegine, the rest of your senses are taken over by the sights and sounds surrounding you. When you're done with dinner, make your way to the dance floor, where you can sit back and enjoy the aromas of the assorted flavors of hookah and enjoy a dance lesson by one of Le Souk's bellydancers who are there every night after 9 except for Sundays. Guaranteed you will be back for more!

Great Times Always!!!!

This place is the best in Manhattan. I would not suggest going there Friday or Saturday because it is too packed. But every other night my slogan for Le Souk is "Guaranteed good time." I have been there on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wends....Sat's and every time has been Great!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!

Good Scene

This place has a little bit of everything. Dancing, hookas, lounge area, food. It can get a bit too crowded and overwhelming, but there are some cool places right across the street when you need a change of scene. Overall, a good place to spend your night out.

As rude as can be...

The description of this place is as right on as can be. The people at the door may be the worst in the city! It's one thing to be a crowded and popular place so you can't let people in quickly, but it is another thing to be mean, put people down who are standing on line (as the door people did to everyone on the line numerous times), and then when you ask them to relax they get in your face as if they are going to punch you. Luckily with a lot of cops near by the door guys could only act like thugs.
