The music/DJ was solid the whole night; a good mix of amapiano, hip-hop, and r&b. Had a minor issue with our reservation that didn’t get fully resolved but everything else was great. Recommend getting triple confirmation on large party seating accommodation leading up to your reservation.

I come to Souk every first Thursday of the month and have never been disappointed. With the current balcony renovations, they have managed to accommodate all their patrons in the same space without causing much of a hassle separating the smokers from non-smokers. Their staff is accommodating and will give you the best service experience a night-club has to offer.

The place e is beautiful, though it can do with some touch ups,coz their tables are flimsy, we changed 3 times thinking we could get a stable table.
The waitresses are not organized unless that's how they operate, coz we got served by 4 different people, and also l didn't understand why we had to pay for extra sauce yet on their tables was just black pepper and salt 😏🤔, so going there again ,l will just for the dj he played good music.

SOUK is a great kickback spot for small or large groups. The DJs do a good job of mixing the music to keep things flowing while you either dance or enjoy a few drinks. There’s a good amount of seating for large crowds of people and is overall a good time.

I wish I could give this place a better rating because the atmosphere was fantastic and luckily made up for the long wait to be helped, and to get our drinks. The food was average. Hubby had the oxtail and enjoyed it thoroughly, I had the Lemon Chicken Breast in Quinoa which I felt could have had more flavour.
