Souk Medina - Shisha Bar (Covent Garden - London)

Souk Medina

Shisha/Hukka bars are few and far between in central london so I was shown this gem by a friend who had been before. As we approached the place is looked like a small morroccan restaurant and the gentleman at the door with a fez showed us in. We took the stroll down the network of caverns lined with pottery and slippers first to a room lined with couches and comfortable sit-ons and then into a larger area beside a bar to our low seated table. It had a great eastern atmosphere about it- fancy artwork and scribing on everything and I noticed the place descended up to a restaurant area and had a basement down to another. The shisha we had cost £7.50 for a small which suited 3 people for half an hour rather well. THe place was highly relaxing and we were offered cocktails at £5.95 each which would amazing also. The customer service could not be matched by anything I've seen in this country before we were totally comfortable and had a great time. We even bought a fez for a fiver on the way out. The only downside was that my Shisha got a bit harsh rather quickly but the range of flavours including lemon-which we had, just made this a great evening out.

Overall a fab 8/10, great time and killer atmosphere.

The fez was also lost that very evening :(

I wonder what became of it.
