On a rapidly gentrifying Alphabet City block, two Egyptian brothers have carved out their own North African niche and accessorized it with Moroccan tile, glowing lanterns, and a weatherproofed garden. A Moroccan chef oversees a menu of assorted tajines and couscous, and meze like grilled octopus. Linger long enough to smoke a hookah and admire the belly dancer. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I enjoy Le Souk. I go every now and then only on Sunday nights, and it has one of the best Sunday night parties in the city. I'm good friends with the drummer and they play a nice mix of house/international and mainstream. Prices are reasonable and once you've had one two many it doesn't make a huge difference anyways. It's definitely a great place to unwind on a Sunday night, good times.

BEWARE!! PLACE IS RUN BY THIEVES - We were ROBBED!

After we ate, we went downstairs to finish our hooka and ordered some drinks. We left our stuff on a couch to dance for about 1/2 a song, came back it was gone! We asked the bouncers, they calmly said it was upstairs. When we got our stuff back (2 jackets and 1 purse), my girls' wallet was missing from her purse. Everything else was in tact. They put on a show looking at the surveillance camera; looking under the couch where we were sitting -- but it was very obvious what happened. I was pleading with the manager (Sam) and the bouncers -- telling them to keep the cash and just return the wallet -- no questions asked. It seems that everyone involved (management and bouncers) were in on the scam. Rhetorical question: Why would bouncers even touch Le Souk's patrons personal belongings? How can you go to a place and leave your bag for 2-3 minutes and worry about the employees robbing you right before your eyes? This is not the only place in NYC that has hookas. It as too crowded and the place is run by THIEVES! AVOID THIS PLACE. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE.
