Nestled in the vibrant heart of London at 27 Litchfield Street, Souk Bazaar offers an authentic Moroccan dining experience that transports guests to the bustling souks of Marrakech. This charming restaurant combines traditional decor with a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. Known for its rich flavors and exotic ambiance, Souk Bazaar is a culinary jewel for lovers of North African cuisine.

Hookah was amazing! I've had hookah/shisha in many countries and I've never seen the coals only burning at the bottom. It actually lasted longer and didn't have to call someone to keep putting new coals. Ordered some desert and mint tea both were really good. It was just a small desert since we just came from dinner. Customer service was great also.

Other reviewers are speaking nonsense when they state the food is authentic and showing their ignorance. They've obviously been nowhere near Morocco.

This is a low grade venue for uneducated Brits and tourists who don't know their cuisine. 

The restaurant cuts corners by serving, for instance, low grade pitta bread which nobody ever has in Morocco 

Food is tasteless and consists of cheap ingredients. 

Portion sizes are tiny.

Waiters are far from professional. 

All in all a very unsatisfying experience.

I couldn't disagree more with the other reviews of Souk Bazaar. Although candles, wrought iron tables and Moroccan style furnishings may give the restaurant an authentic 'look', it is completely impractical for eating, which I discovered to my frustration a few weeks ago. I found the seats very uncomfortable as I was sat very low down with my head against an iron screen, which felt more like medieval torture than west-end dining. The table too was very low and small, with raised edges that would only accommodate two plates. The candles were the only source of light in the room, which may make unsightly companions more bearable (not that I was with any), but are wholly inadequate for identifying the components and quality of a dish.

I was having a bad time until the food arrived. Then it really turned into a disaster. We decided to order the 'feast' menu. Bland stuffed vine leaves arrived with little flavour. Humous was uninspiring and pitta bread was almost certainly from a packet. The sautéed potatoes in spice were slightly better but the portion was very small considering we had ordered a 'feast' for two. Tagine, arguably the cornerstone of Moroccan cuisine was the nail in the coffin. Lamb with prunes and almonds arrived with very dry pieces of meat and overpoweringly sweet prunes. Chicken with saffron and herbs was slightly more moist but in both dishes, the sauce was watery and completely lacking in flavour - as if they not only cooked the dish too quickly - creating dry, tough meat, but in plain water without stock, tomatoes or seasoning.

A west-end Moroccan restaurant whose menu highlight is the Baklava should not be receiving the acclaim it is in my view. This was a car-crash demonstration of North African cooking. To add insult to injury, service was slow and unfriendly, and Mojitos were just awful. Souk Bazaar is a good way to spend £40-£50 on making your life more miserable. Recommend this place to all the people you don't like.

A friend from college brought me here and my lord am I glad she did. After not sleeping on a red eye flight and going straight from Heathrow to meetings earlier that day I was in need of a couple drinks and a good meal. My vegetarian tangine (think it was the spinach and feta one) was mild and robust all at once and my adult beverage, the Juicy Marrakech, was thirst quenching (necessary) and put me in a blissful state (more necessary) straight away. 

Souk Baazar also came with the added bonus of a dark and squishy banquette for my travel weary self to plop down upon. All in all, a great place to go relax and enjoy yourself after the longest day ever.

A small cluttered restaurant infused with colourful tapestries and cushions. This Moroccan hub is like an Aladdin's cave. Upstairs is more open with little tables and cushions. Whereas downstairs is the secret - little cubby holes for couples or an intimate chat and larger spaces with cushions and couches for bigger groups. 

The most cost effective is the set menu and it is based upon the amount of people. Delicious fresh houmous, couscous, cheeses, breads and much more is served in clay plates and bowls - everyone just nibbling and picking as they chat. Saturday evenings they sometimes have a belly dancer! Encouraging men and women to dance and shake away.

A good British friend of mine brought me here on my first visit to London and it was such a fun and unforgettable night that I've been back several times since... usually with other international visitors in tow.

Be sure to book a table in the cavernous downstairs area... this is where you really feel that you're someplace underground and there's something more exotic and clandestine going on... your sitting atop cushions in this dimly-lit cellar... like you're in Casablanca and have secured access to the secret subterranean bungalow at Rick's Café Américain.  

There's melodic Middle Eastern music playing, and each time I've been, belly dancing... which is fun (even for the girls) since it's interactive - they invite diners to get up and try a sexy hip sashay with guidance from the jewel-bedecked skin-baring professional (don't worry, they go table by table... so it's not in a cheesy or disruptive way).

Without a doubt, order the set menu for the table - a mix of garlicky starters and earthy tagines... it pretty much guarantees that there will be *something* each person will like, plus they will top up your favourites...and it includes dessert (baklava!)  A really great deal...   

When I've done the a la carte route, the dishes have been more mediocre; the tagine of vegetables, prunes, and almonds was mercilessly bland - avoid! 

Souk is an extremely entertaining night out; unbeatable atmosphere and good food make for an all-around unique and memorable experience.

This place is a little strange. It's insanely close to Leicester Square yet nobody seems to know about it, and on a Wednesday night only two tables were occupied in the upstairs dining area so I have no idea how they afford the location. Dining seems to be on two levels. The aforementioned upstairs is an intimate space. The decor is pleasant and gives it an authentic feeling even if the seating isn't entirely practical - it's a padded bench on all sides of the room with circular tables in each of the corners.This means it was really only big enough for 8-10 people in total. I can only assume downstairs is more spacious.

We ordered the set sharing menu. There was a lot of food for the two of us and we struggled to finish everything, but rather than than leaving hungry. The lamb tagine was packed full of flavour but the chicken tagine was a bit bland; overall though I was happy with the food and the 50% deal I had meant it was excellent value but probably not worth the full price for the quality.

The kitchen seemed to be downstairs which meant the service was not always as fast as I would like it to be - particularly when paying the bill - but when he was in the room our waiter was very friendly.

I was torn between two and three stars. It was ok but I wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't return.

Souk is so close to Leicester square station, i can't believe i didn't know about it before. The dining room is tiny and warm on a winter night; it's like eating in a fort you made as a child, if you happened to decorate your childhood forts with leather cushions and colourful lamps.

When we first arrived there wasn't any music on, but they soon remedied that. And there was "a problem in the kitchen" that led to our meals being a bit delayed, but they brought out kir royales while we waited. Good customer care and delicious food. The tenderest lamb I've had in a long time.

We were a group of six, so we decided to order the dinner feast for £19.95 per person, which is a lot less costly than ordering a la carte and gives you the opportunity to sample many dishes.

Ten entrees were served family style. The selections included roast eggplant with tomato compote, couscous with lamb sausage, and four tangines, two of them vegetarian. Everything was authentically spiced, but the tangine of lamb with prunes, apples, and almonds was probably the highlight of the meal. Dessert was an assortment of baklava and mint tea. Refills of everything were offered at no additional charge.

We were seated in the atmospheric lower dining room and truly felt we had returned to Morocco, one of our favorite destinations. This is a lovely place to spend a leisurely evening with friends.

One of the best Moroccan restaurants in London (in my opinion), Souk is a gorgeous little hideaway off Seven Dials in Covent Garden, offering the charm and delights of a real Moroccan haven.
The food is great quality and pretty good value, with the option of nibbles, or mains. The cocktails are also pretty good (especially the mojitos) and I always always give in to a plate of Baklava!
The sad fact is that you can no longer smoke sheesha inside as we always used to do, but this does not stop Souk from being a great place for dinner with friends, or an escape from the day to day drudgery of London.
