CLASSIC RESTUARANT. Lebanese food here is heaven. We tried the assorted hummus platter with breads, chicken shawarma & kebab istanbulli. HUMMUS is probably 100/10. Breads sure 100/10. Because its just so perfect. You wont get enough of the hummus. Shawarma was good too, I just thought a lil spice couldve worked. The mutton kebab was melt in your mouth kind of delicious & very heavy on stomach. Hummus & breads are a extremely good. But, the stealer here is the VIEW. If not for anything, GO FOR THE VIEW. GET THE EXPERIENCE. VIEW IS BREATH TAKING. Loved the experience here while lunching with a gorgeous view!

I doubt whether the word Thank you is more then enough for all your services towards my UK! I was exploring Best GoUk Consultants support for my application. Then I placed in GoUk, the entire process was explained by them in one phone call and visited their office to get discount on my application. They were easy to access for any communication. Especially Mr.AjithFranklin for helped to choose the subclasses based on occupation demand. They are very customer friendly, genuine people with individual attention to customer satisfaction. Trust assured that you are placed in right hand at the right placeSpecial Thanks to Mr.AjithFranklin .

SOUK, Very very scenic view, a panoromic view of Gateway of India. Luxurious seating, and a service excellency of a Taj brand. A very Romantic restaurant espacially at evening and dinner time. One thing is more spacial that Feels warm hospitality and kind words on your table when Ms. Priyanka Nikalje is there to take care of you.

The food is just on point. Flavours and flavours of beautifully marinated and grilled food. The baklava also in a fusion with other ingredients ..just brilliant. If you are a mushroom fab do try the mushroom baklava.Other than trying their regular Lebanese kebabs,kibbehs and hummus.

Went there for a dinner date. The restaurant was short staffed so it took us a while to place the order and get served. Food was below average. We had Sheesh Taouk and Maqlooba. Nothing impressive about the presentation or taste. They skim on quantities as if theyre trying to save up for some kind of apocalypse. There isnt any difference between having such items at just about any other regular restaurant. Ambience was dim lit and nice but boy were those chairs uncomfortable! We requested to change the seats and be moved to a sofa but to no avail. The only redeeming dish/dessert was the Knafeh which was not listed on the menu but the chef whipped it up the last minute. It was pretty damn good. Pricing - not so bad either. Overall experience - meh... Not recommended 👎

I’m visiting from Canada, and I have always wanted to see famous the Taj Hotel. 😊👍🏻 I went to Souk restaurant 👌👏 and met the most respectful staff, they were very accommodating and helpful. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. The staff were the kindest I’ve ever met: Vishal, Sayali, Anant, and Anthony.🙏👍

An excellent restaurant with fine views of the Mumbai skyline at night. The food was very good & flavoursome. Our party of five either had a tagine of either lamb or prawn of lamb kebab & there was not a morsel left. the wine was very good & well priced. The staff were excellent as well. Recommended.

Just wow...It is Taj Mahal Palace after all... short of nothing... price, I wont even mention since you already know its going to be expensive although, you do get exactly what you pay for... portion sizes were massive...A must try atleast for the views...

I was meeting my girl friends after many years and so we decided to really do a fine dining all out experience. Their menu is pretty good and the food served to us had been delicious. All my friends have major craving for sweets, so we ordered Baklava and loved the taste of it.Though, if you are visiting this place for the view, then I recommend to go during the evening hours else at night, you don’t see much of the outside view.Do try their gin & whiskey cocktail with fennel seeds.

Souk is Taj Mahal Palaces Mediterranean restaurant. The location of the restaurant is impeccable, as its on the top of the Taj Mahal Hotel and overlooks the Arabian Sea. So 5 star in ambience and being a Taj restaurant the service is always superlative. A table for 4 was put together for us in a minutes notice. The food was also extremely good, we went for the Starter buffet and finished off with some deserts. Most elements on the starter were good but the grilled prawns and hummus were excellent. The deserts were ok with the Kunafi being the standout.

Souk is possibly one of the most romantic restaurants in the city. It has got a fabulous panoramic view of the Gateway Of India and is home to some exquisite Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. The ambience has you feeling special and is the perfect spot for a date because the food lives up to its reputation.All my friends have major craving for sweets, so we ordered Baklava and loved the taste of it.Do try their gin & whiskey cocktail with fennel seeds.

This place serves delicious food with good ambience. With such effects with the food, the price is a bit high. Went with my boss so didnt have to worry about hole in the pocket. Try the chocolate cigar and rose petal ice cream. The kebabs are delicious- both veg and non veg. It serves Mediterranean food. Less spices, juicy kebabs. The chicken dishes are also yummmmmm.... Do go with your loved ones at least ones. Good food comes with a good price.The view of the Game of India is wooooow. I have attached the pictures below. Since we had visited in the evening, couldnt take pics of the Arabian sea.

Really enjoyed our night here. Good food, great service. A bit pricey. We had a selection of dishes to share and especially enjoyed the Lebanese pizza, hummus, breads, falafal etc. The view was obstructed by a railing outside the window so we had to stand to see the lights and view outside.

Went there with my family of four to savour Lebanese cuisines... It was the first time we were at Taj as well first experience of Lebanese food as well...We were extremely delighted by the service at Souk... People seem to be so much enthusiastic and forthcoming to serve and ensure guests feel like God and they go out feeling sumptuous.Food is amazing and mouthwatering especially the sweet dish

Love this place not only because of its amazing environment but also for the delicious food they serve.The award winning chefs gave a home-made feeling using the best quality ingredients. The restaurant also offers various types of drinks, they serve one of the best wines in the region. The drinks are pricey but surely worth trying.Food here is Delicious.It’s one of the best place in Mumbai for a dinner date.But would recommend you’ll to visit in the day time as it has a beautiful viewThe mezze platter and the potato pancakes were genuinely delicious.Overall the staff and the overall team made sure that our experience was flawless

I would specially like to thank Ms. Fauscina, from the Souk restaurant. I have planned a lunch date for my brother and his to be wife with few idea in my mind to make it special. Ms. Fauscina in all the aspects helped me out so well with all the courtesy planning arrangements, rates , menu .. and all my expectations were fullfilled by her. She made sure, whatever I imagined about the lunch for them was achieved.Kudos to Fauscina and the whole Souk team..The Taj Mahal Palace and their employees always make sure that the standards are maintained.Trust me its value for money.

One of the best Lebanese places Mumbai could ever have.If you’re a lebanese junkie, this place is your hub. Although it’s very highly priced, it is worth one visit to try the authenticity of the cuisine.The hummus, falafel, pita and the falafel wrap are mouth watering.Recommend this place. Worth a one time visit for sure :)👍🏻

Great place for. Mediterranean lunchAvoid ala carte as this place will rip your wallet apart, the starters buffet is good priced at 1950 taxes included , it would be great if they could add a soup it would literally complete the lunch. The freshly baked pita with Zaatar is lovely. I have been there twice on my last 2 visits to Bombay and I will always come back for lunch.Staff is also very courteous

First of all, I thank Steffi and Anant in Souk restaurant for the most delightful hospitality provided to me and my relatives. I was there with my family of 20 to celebrate my girls bday and I swear, I have left with an experience which I will never ever forget. You know places can be nice, Taj is no doubt the best but its the people who put life to that place and one such person was Steffi who was like god sent when we were there and Anant for helping us with the arrangement. Steffie you rock. Keep us the great work.

We went here for our first anniversary. The ambiance is obviously great since it’s Taj after all. It has a beautiful view of Gateway of India. Staff is way we’ll experienced, they are all like working here since ages. We ordered “Kabsa” it’s similar to biryani if I have to put it simply. It was so flavourful that the fragrance only brought water in our mouth. In desert we had Baklava it’s a Lebanese nut pastry. Beautiful experience would always consider this place for special occasions.

If you manage to get a window table, then this place offers an excellent view, especially if youre facing the sea and gateway of India. Together with the luxurious ambience, it makes for an elegant dining experience. Some of the items on the menu, especially the salads dont do justice for their price (around ₹1000) but the entrees and main course are excellent despite the high price. Plenty of good dessert options, one of them being the Chocolate Cigara. Overall, the best place to have Mediterranean food in Mumbai hands down.

Nothing can beat the view of Apollo Bunder, and the tribute to a bygone prince, with all the boats big and small plying on the watersCertainly worth at least one visit if in Mumbai

We had a very light meal, so frankly, our experience may not be the one that could be defining.However, we did like what we saw and ate at the restaurant.Try and get a table by the window, else its just another restaurant. However, if you get a table by the window, then the views are nice.We ordered a salad and hummus platter and soft drinks... were happy with the two dishes frankly, and with the service. We couldnt order more, and thus cant help yuo with the other dishes, but there is ample variety of the middle eastern cuisine, if you like that kind of food.Go in the evenings... its a nice place

Very courteous service in true a Tata style, by Mr. Manohar Karkera. Excellent middle East food, with panoramic view of Arabian sea. All the staff of the Souk was helpful in making us comfortable, in our first visit to celebrate our 41st wedding Anniversary.
