  This was my first time in a Moroccan restaurant and I hope it's not my last.
  
  The dishes were just spicy enough and full of flavor. It was just different enough to make my taste buds happy.

  This is probably one of the best hookah/restaurants I've been to! I stumbled on this spot as I was looking for hookah lounges in the area. I came here to relax after a long flight from the states and I got more than I bargained for. Everything was up to par the people who served, the middle eastern food such as the chicken skewers and the labne, and the overall ambiance.
  I would definitely go back!

  I've visited Souk Medina Four times both with local friends and international friends when I visit London. I always recommend this place to friends visiting London as well, it's a little hidden Gem.
  
  Entering through a curtain doorway down a small alley way you would think you were in Morrocco, the decor is down to a T from floor to ceiling and with wooden carvings, dark wood tables and the aroma of spiced food and mint tea. It's on two floors and always busy in the evenings so best to book a table.
  
  I always order the Mezze or a type of stew or if I'm with friends we order the set menu and there's always plenty of food to go round. The Moroccan tea and cocktails also worth a try.
  
  On most Saturday evenings there is a belly dancer downstairs so always good fun.
  
  Although I don't smoke shisha I believe there is a room for this
  
  Worth a visit if your in Covent Garden

  I visited on Saturday 12th December for our annual Christmas lunch get together. I booked at Souk Bazaar, having visited before. We turned up to find they were closed for lunch, despite making a booking there. Never fear, we were sent to their other restaurant 'Souk Medina' which was about 5 minutes walk away. I'm so glad we did because I had the best lunch ever.
  
  We opted for a lot of tapas style dishes and just shared everything. All the food was amazing, from calamari, humous to little soft cheese and feta parcels. The best, however, was the aubergine dip. So much so, we ordered a second!
  
  We noticed others around us smoking shish, so after our meal, we asked to move to the comfy sofas to have one as well. We created own flavour we named 'Grint' - grape and mint! The pipe was electronic, like vaper cigarettes.
  
  Above all, I'd like to say a special thank you to our waitress, Laura, who made our meal so enjoyable! Her service was phenomenal! We were laughing the whole way through.
  
  So thank you! And we will be back next Christmas!

  i booked in advance and sent 2 emails asking for a quiet table and mentioned that my boyfriend and i are vegan. No reply. We were seated in the most crowded place in the restaurant. Felt like a sardine and could literally be a part of the conversation of the couple seated next to us. If i wanted to yell loud enough to overcome the music that is. Nice decoration but so over the top that it felt the furthest from an authentic experience. Was loud and unpleasant. We couldn't carry out a conversation. Food came quickly but was not hot and the dishes were very small. Drinks came with the main dish instead of before the food. We came to London from Vienna for a weekend and chose to spend our night out in this restaurant. Will not happen again.
