Let me say this, the food and waiter service was OK. We did feel rushed, but that''s understandable. 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 -- trying to find it -- 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. They had us hanging around for about 2 hours back and forth. It seems that everyone involved (management and bouncers) were in on the scam. They ruined our night and we now have to recover most of our documents. The next day, we got a call and one of the busboys returned the credit cards (which were already cancelled) and most of the ID’s from the wallet -- but no wallet – and didn’t return all of the ID’s. 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? Like I said, the food and music was only OK, we felt rushed, and 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. TRUST ME. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE.
