Souk

Absolutely love Souk, i've been going for years and i have to say its still my favourite place to go, the food just gets better every time i go, and it doesnt break the bank, your looking at about £25 per head if you have a starter, main AND one of their gorgeous cocktails, bargain! ....And they are very generous with their pouring!

A stunning venue overall with a great vibe, i'm already thinking Souk for my work xmas party!

Cocktails were so-so, staff were rude, and didn't bothering ordering food as the door policy prevented the rest of our party joining us.

Souk is a jewel in the sometimes depressing London! Stepping inside I felt like id escaped the greyness and the miserable British weather and entered an oasis of warmth and comfort. I loved the look of the place and the feeling of being in Aladdin's den or somewhere exotic like Morocco but with the modern twist of the music (great mix of classic and commercial tracks from the DJ) and also the great crowd that came in that night. I came on a Friday not long after a hard, dull days work and was able to leave all my bad feelings out side and just have a great time! The waiting staff were really friendly and made me feel welcome and that I'd come to the right place. The cocktails made by the lovely bar men were amazing! I didn't try the food but it looked delicious and I will definitely be trying it next time!

The night started off quite calmly and I had a nice table to sit with my friend. As the night went on and it got busier the atmosphere encouraged us to leave our seats to dance and mingle with the crowd.

I saw they make bookings for parties so I cant wait until my birthday so I have an excuse to throw one there!

I've only been there on a Thursday night while I was looking for a late drinking venue. everything seemed fine on first impressions, but after asking for a double vodka with a splash of coke (I like to taste the vodka in my drink) and was met with hi-ball glass filled to the top with Coke thrust towards me.

A reply of "that wasn't what I ordered" resulted in the reply of "If you want something else, it's going to cost you another drink. That's how we pour them here" and he quickly took the undrunken drink and put it out of reach, and even when challenged, he wouldn't give it back.

So naturally, as I thought this this wasn't how a bar which values repeat custom should operate, I asked to speak to the manager. The barman then returned, very quickly, with the largest bouncer on hand who then said 'It's a Thursday night, there's no manager here'

After speaking to my fellow drinking companions, they were of the impression that the drinks they've been handed didn't seem the correct 'consistency' (and they do know their drinks).

I can only come to the conclusion that this is not somewhere you should plan to go to, even if you're looking for a late bar.

I didn't order food, so gave it an average mark for that.

I went to SO UK with my boyfriend and it was so good we went again on Wednesday. It was awesome. We were taken care of really well by the staff. I'm not normally a bar fan, but the music was great.

I hadn't been there for a while before but it was great. We had cocktails which tasted great and it was great oriental food.

I will definitely be going back
