We had a fabulous dinner for three, including a 4-sample app, and three main courses. Wait staff was extraordinarily friendly and attentive, food was prepared perfectly (although salad dressing not our taste), and prices were reasonable. Atmosphere is very cozy and friendly. In winter, the opening/closing front door proved a little drafty at times. We look forward to heading back to our new favorite Syrian restaurant soon!!!

A few friends and I stumbled upon Le Souk, and we were immediately encapsulated by the wonderful aroma of food being cooked and an intimate but bustling atmosphere of community. The lemon tumeric hummus was phenomenal, so flavorful and addictive. Paired with the labneh elevating it even further. The pomegranate chicken was so juicy and sweet, the walnuts gave a nice crunch and the side of hummus rounded out all of the flavors from the chicken. Lisa our server was sweet and attentive. We had such lovely conversations with her and Zack, truly wonderful people who care about the peoples that come in. I highly recommend this place for a welcoming community and amazing food. You will get full quick! Great spot for a date night or a nice evening with a few of your friends.

Ordered the chicken kebab platter which came with rice and side salad. The chicken was to have been marinated in tahini sauce. The chicken tasted dry with no evidence of tahini sauce. The marinade tasted of pure vinegar. The salad was ok with a light vinagrette which was unremarkable. But had enough vinegar in my system and did not finish either. Server very nice but food awful.

Good food, slightly slow kitchen but should be expected from the relaxed vibe.

Unfortunately, this entree is overpriced at $24. The chicken was bland along with the rice of which it was over portioned and lacking in seasoning- with only a tiny bit of wilted salad. No sauce was included. Definitely NOT worth $24. Nearby places such as Falafel Hut on bellevue have much better quality.

This was supposed to be a nice evening over delicious Syrian and Mideterranean food and music, but the food was gross and the music was Indian. Such a waste for the trying-too-much decor. The young lady who took our order was courteous and friendly. That was the only good thing about the experience. Oh, that and the pomegranate spicy tea. The menu is modest and the choices are limited. I doubt this is really Syrian. Looks like one of those tourist traps except that it’s in Montclair, NJ instead of Montpelier, France. The chicken fattah was soggy and watery. It looked like breakfast cereal. The chicken with pomegranate sauce had a nasty smell and the sauce (which I believe was syrup and not cooked sauce) was watered down. When added to the chicken, makes it tingy, pungent and tastes rancid. The young lady waitress tried to convince me to order something else. I preferred not to and settled for the pomegranate tea and baklava. She nicely offered barazek (sesame cookies) and a piece of mabrouma. Such a lovely person. Keep her. Not the cook, who showed an attitude and started ranting in Hindi. So, no. Not really a good idea to eat there unless you have no clue what Syrian or Middle Eastern food is. Then, it would be easy to fool you.

Le Souk is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and they even have outdoor seating. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was amazing, Tessa and Lissa were both so friendly and welcoming. I especially loved their fava bean salad and their house special tea.
