Souk Medina

Souk Medina is a very atmospheric Moroccan restaurant in Covent Garden, spread out over a number of cosy, decorated rooms.

A bellydancer had the hen party at the table next to us up and dancing away in the centre of the room.

Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow. We were not even offered menus initially and had to find them from a nearby waiter workstation.  However, when our order had finally been taken the food itself arrived very quickly. We went for a range of small starters and most of them were quite spicy.  This was no problem at all for me but was a bit of an issue for my dining companion.

I think the fact that we were sat with a hen party gives a hint to the fact that this restaurant is clearly aimed at and patronised by tourists, which may explain the poor service.  Nevertheless, the look of the restaurant is lovely and more then made up for the rather haphazard service for me.
