Tribeca's only revolutionary expresso bar, lounge and restaurant.

Quality Catering At a Reasonable Price.


Le Souk in New York is a three star Moroccan restaurant. Check out this affordable place in the Brooklyn area. This place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant features private rooms. This place is open late and good for groups.
Hookahs and dim lighting evoke opium dens and harems. The staff is young and comely; the Middle Eastern pop music on the stereo is loud and fast. And just when you think a belly dancer is the only thing...
