Was delighted to have chanced upon this cozy cafe on Zomato called Souk (meaning an Arabian market), wondered how they named it so and decided to look them up.They have a nice canopy erected in an outdoor set up, spacious seating in wood. In the evening the whole place is lit up and beautiful string of lights adorn the canopy.Chicken was being grilled on the rotisserie in the mechanised gas oven. The feel of the Levant was evident.Warmed up with a Cappuccino and a Latte, and two Shawarma wraps.The Shawarma were juicy, lot of filling, generous helping of garlic paste, tahini and shreds of chicken Shawarma. Must try!Also sampled couple of Falafel, with olives, crispy, well fried and olive on top gave it a tangy appeal.Since we are ardent exponents of Kunafa( knafeh), settled for one. It was presented in a cute pan, piping hot.Imdad, the lively manager of the cafe told me that they also specialise in Baklava Ice cream sundae, a puff baklava base topped off with a dollop of ice cream. Unique, creamy-crunchy, amalgam of two distinct flavours. Thanx a lot Imdad, good recommendation you made our day. Must try folks!A small chitchat with Tahirul lslam, the jovial steward, revealed that there is a Dubai connection; the owner, Mr Kunal Jagwani is a Dubai based entrepreneur and Food connoiseur.Our memories of dear old Dubai was instantly re-lived through Souk.Will be back to try more dishes for sure!
What differentiate this place from orders is attention to the details. They import the spices from Dubai which makes their dishes more authentic. They have got the prefect spot to satisfy Indian palette taste and make the dish still authentic. The new summer menu is really amazing. The rice dishes are appetizing and have bunch of flavour to it. Its a must try Lebanese place.
Last week visited this place and i saw that they have a new summer menu nowSo tried few Lebanon delicacies and i absolutely relished it. The taste is really authentic.Presentation was superb, quantity was more than expected.What I had theirDeconstructed falafel saladCrushed falafel, lettuce, olives, greens dressed in a creamy tahini sauceCold mezze platterIts a must have when you visit this placeIt consists of garlic hummus, tabouleh, marinated feta, tzatziki, harissa sauce, zaatar lavash and many more things..Cheese with zataar + chicken pideIts a kind of Lebanon naan pizaa.. which will surely make you droolChelo kebab with ricejuicy succulent meat kebabs served with butter saffron rice, grilled tomatoes and onions. Surely try this oneChocolate hummusIts a dessert.. chocolaty hummus seeved with cinnamon pita chips
I havent found many places with authentic Lebanese Food but this place called Souk Arabia on NIBM Road has recently introduced some amazing Lebanese food along with some of the most delicious salads and Pizza..no no not Pizza, its called PDay and what makes it special is the fact that the base is made fresh on spot. Unlike other pizzas the base doesnt have sauce but it starts with cheese. Loved it totally.Hummus of different flavours were delicious. Though Hummus is made of chic peas and can get heavy but this one was light on tummy and oh so well blended with all tastes.Talking about salads, the quantity is huge but is so delicious and light on tummy. Loved the way the dressing combines with the veggies. Am coming again for salads.Also their maincourse was delicious. The lamb preparation that u see with rice is a result of slow cooking and the taste is felt in rice too. Delicious.In desserts I tried kunafa first time and it was yummmmmy... loved it. Rightly sweetened. Also I loved chocolate hummis with cinnamon bread sticks with a dash of salt to give it a perfect taste.An amazing place for all time meals and healthy options...Also if u r looking out for a place to host a party or have a gathering they have a special area which they can curate it all for u as per theme ... lovely place... coming again soon .

Visited this place few days back for absolutely amazing Summer specials menu. Mind blowing variety of food available. From chill refreshing drinks to unique deserts!I would give more than 5 stars!Had few dishes and drinks here,Started with refreshing Cucumber and basil mojito. Much needed to beat the heat!After refreshing start, there was something i like to eat once in a blue moon, salads! Deconstructed falafel salad and greek salad(chicken). I love greek salads, but here i loved the other salad more which was deconstructed falafel salad! Quantity of both salads was pretty good enough, perfect delicious dressing. Worth a try!Hummus and pita bread is love of my life, cola mezze platter was heaven for me, three different types of hummus with some marinated pita bread and couple of dips. Worthy enough for sure! All hummus lovers, must try this platter.You all know, pizza is love! So the turkish pizza... Also called as pide. Had couple of pide, one was roasted veggies and sun dried tomato pesto pide(veg), it was so flavourful. Pesto adds some magic in any dish, for real! Another one was nonveg, cheese with zaatar and chicken, which was also good but first one is definitely worth a try!Main course, there was some kebabs and pilaf. Kebab was served with rice, so authentic! Chelo kebab, middle eastern veg pilaf was pretty good. Chicken kebsa was something different to me, tried it for the first time. Turned out to be really delicious and good, a whole grilled chicken leg served with spiced rice with a sauce called sattah, pretty perfect meal for one!But, the star of the table was Joojeh kebab rice, Rich taste of saffron and creaminess of yogurt and soft chicken kebabs, perfection! Served witg buttered saffron rice and fries. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The taste of joojeh kebab was mind blowing. Quantity is really good enough for one person! Have some chilled mojito and joojeh kebab, a good summers meal for sure!After all this delicious treat, its deset time!A traditional middle eastern dessert called kunafa, wanted to try this since a long time and finally had a chance to try! It was so good in taste! Semolina dough with three types of cheese, THREE TYPES OF CHEESE! Give it a try!Being a hummus fan, i found myself madly in love with Chocolate hummus. This desert got me speechless! Delicious chocolate hummus and pita bread coated with cinnamon powder called as pita chips. Totally in love with this dish! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Im sure you gonna love it!Over all it was really good and delicious treat ever!Visit souk for summer specials menu!Thank you so much!Live, Love, Eat! Stay safe.
This place is just awesome, the place serves some authentic taste of Arabian cuisine.Nice sit out ambience, good for a family visit.Have order Mix meze platter and one non veg platter, Meze was just fine, but the grilled chicken tikka in non veg platter was superb.The garlic paste is awesome, but they charge for the second filling.Would suggest the restaurant to increase the quantity of garlic paste in the first serving it self.
They serve amazing lebanese and arabic food.. its served fresh and hot. Food Quality is superior. Great in taste and easy on pocket.
Found this beautiful arabian cafe on the calm streets of Salunkhe Vihar.Also Summers have arrived and they have launched their special Summer menu which is light on your tummy plus full of nutrition.Have a look at their colorful salads and youll be lost in its beauty.They have a special area for small parties.🔹️TABBOULEH: I couldnt stop digging in until the bowl was empty.😂Its a vegetarian salad consisting of bulgar,baby tomatoes,olives,finely chopped greens,lettuce etc.🔹️Deconstructed Falafel Salad: Salad topped with falafel chucks served with zaatar and sumac sticks.🔹️COLD MEZZE PLATTER:I was amazed with the perfection of different varieties of hummus and dips served along with zaatar and sumac sticks.Specially the roasted brinjal 🍆 and walnut dips were heavenly delicious.🔹️HUMMUS PLATTER:It had 4 different flavors of hummus and my personal favorite was BEETROOT.🔹️PIDES are basically turkish pizzas made absolutely fresh with a variety of toppings are worth giving a try:ARUGULA and GARLICROASTED VEGGIEZAATAR CHICKENTalking about the main course,🔹️CHICKEN KABSA and LAMB PILAF made my day.Quantity is really good and taste is very authentic.New addition to their menu....and a much during these scorching summer are their super refreshing coolers:🔹️PEACH ICED TEA🔹️MOJITO- not your regular oneLast but not the least....Middle Eastern desserts are heaven on earth.Often i dont find them in pune here but thanks to SOUK.🔹️KUNAFA🔹️CHOCOLATE HUMMUS
Please don’t expect delicious test from SOUK. This is just an fancy restaurant. The road side shawarmas are better this SOUK Shawarma. They just mix chicken gravy on shawarma wrap and call it world class shawarma. Don’t read other’s comments according to my judgement all high rated comments are just an paid promotion trick.
Souk by cafe arabia is one of the best places to hangout with your friends over some good food. The ambience is on point the lights are furustic with outdoor seating arrangements.We were there to try winter sizzler menu.¬ Spicy grilled chicken¬ chesse fried chicken¬ peri peri paneer steak¬ BBQ chicken¬ veg skewers in sweet chilli sauceAll the sizzlers were really good in taste & thePresentation as well.Overall it was great experience.#puneritravellers
SOUK by cafe Arabia is one the superb places to hang out with great food in Salunke Vihar. With some great outdoor sitting, this place is apt for a family, friends meeting over a snacks or meal.The food items I tasted were really good. The mojito was great from the drinks. The skillet chocolate chip from the desserts menu was too good. I recommend that dish.Score (of out 5):Food - 4Service -3Ambience -3.5
Tried Chicken Shawarma platter. Chicken felt a lil dry... Could have been tender.
Bad experience. I just ordered salad from here today and the chicken was not fresh. All the pieces were hard and chewy and kind of sticking to each other. Very disappointed.

In picture : MIX MEZZE PLATTERWhere : Souk, Salunke ViharCafe Arabia specializes in authentic and perfect Arabian/Lebanese food and they are amazing at it. Restaurant has good seating space in which you can enjoy and really pleasant atmosphere. The staff is friendly and Keen to help you to choose the best from the menu. Portion of the dishes are too generous for amount they are charging.Taste is perfect with correct amount of seasoning and sauces.None are spicy just the way their cuisine should be mild but flavorful.We had1.

Souk has an open ambience with lights all around & pop of colours that really make one feel welcomed ! Right from their classic Virgin Mojito to speciality dishes like Hummus Platter - every dish is made with such authenticity that it always leaves me wanting for more ! 😍The service is really prompt and the portion size is something thats enough for two people ! Love the variety they curate for every season that makes me revisit to try their newest creations !
Very bad experience. I just ordered Arabia grill chicken which was not worth from here and the chicken was not fresh. No opinion I have to throw the food in bin.
Excellent lebanese food in Pune! Lebanese Sunset, which is made from mango crush, ginger, lemon and soda. This drink is absolutely gorgeous in looks and in taste! Mix mezze platter: I have no words to justify how amazingly awesome this platter was! Two pieces of juicy grilled chicken, shawarma strips, fattoush (which is a salad), falafel bullets, garlic toum, harissa and the most amazing hummus in Pune! This should be the first thing you order at Souk. Turkish pide: The lamb turkish pide (pronounced as pee-day) deserves the best mouth-watering food award! All the lamb lovers MUST try this heavenly, gorgeous pide! Rose Pannacotta: I was in love, instantly! All rose lovers will want to hug me for introducing them to this divine dessert! The rose and cardamom flavors blend effortlessly into each other, the pistachio crumble on top makes it look and taste beautiful, the creaminess in each bite is unforgettable! Skillet baked chocolate based cookie: This one is for all chocolate lovers out there. Just one word: Perfection! Baklava with ice-cream: This was the first time I tried Baklava so I am no expert, but I can assure you that the flakiness, dense nutty flavor paired with ice-cream, cannot be missed. It is surely one of those warm traditional desserts that you would want to try with your family!Souk does total justice to the authenticity of Middle eastern flavors and keeps it traditionally on point. The prices are reasonable and totally worth it!
Great placeVery authenticExcellent choices of shawarmaEspecially Devils Shawarma.The owner Mr Kunal is a great person. Any problems you can call him directly.Must try.
Great place for quick Arabic bite.. Taste is very good n also the open air ambience.. Service is good too! Enjoyed my evening!
I wanted to pay a visit to Souk since ever I got to know about this place. Souk is well known for the authentic Lebanese food. I went here at 4pm something and place actually gets more beautiful and soothing as the sun sets. Proper lit ambience, ample seatings and some really drool worth food.Coming to food,Was here for the newly launched winter sizzler menu.The sizzler menu is designed so well.It has something to offer for each and everyone, weather you are vegetarian or non vegetarian the Sizzlers are just finest that you cant miss.The presentation of Sizzlers is on point.The balance of flavours and textures can be seen.Each sizzler has flavoured rice, fries, blanched corns, saute veggies, sauces according to the choice of your sizzler, topped with the meat - veggies.In veg they have two options :Peri Peri Paneer SteakVeg Skewers is Sweet Chilli SauceIn nonveg:Spicy Grilled ChickenCheese Fried ChickenBBQ Chicken.From the above, Spicy Grilled Chicken was my personal fav. It had perfect grilled chicken topped over the bed on rice with perfect cooked and saute veggies. This was bit on the spicier side as the name says. The whole combo was super comforting just right for winters.
Heres what I had here-Mojito ₹120 and Lebanese sunset ₹120- Very refreshing drinks! Good taste and absolutely soothingZaatar Fried Chicken₹220- This was deep fried Chicken strips served with a creamy dip and a side salad (tossed cabbage). The chicken was well cooked, however according to me it could have been a little more juicy. The marinate used was great and the creamy dip went perfectly with it. TIP- Do sprinkle lemon on it, it just enhances the taste even more!Falafel platter ₹230- These were golden fried Chickpea balls served with salad, harrisa and Pita bread. It was really delicious and the accompaniments provided went perfectly with thechickpea kebab.Turkish pide ₹ 230- This was a thin crust Pizza that was half mushroom and half chicken and It was the best dish out of all. The pizza was cheesy , flavourful and delicious. I would recommend you to try this dish for sure!Skillet baked cookie dough with ice cream- ₹180-This was a really new dessert to me. Cookie dough baked on a pan and topped with Vanilla ice cream and molten chocolate oozing out as you break the cookie to take your first bite. It was a complete Foodgasm! It was the perfect end to our meal and we really enjoyed having this delicious dessert. If you want to try a new dessert, definitely go with this option.The staff was extremely friendly and the service was great. The location is great too!FOOD- 4/5SERVICE- 5/5VALUE FOR MONEY- 4/5AMBIENCE- 4/5
It was horrible , we ordered fafafel platrer and it was litreally frozen from inside.
Souk is a newly opened restaurant in NIBM area. The décor of this restaurant is Vibrant and Catchy. Few of us were lucky to visit it for its Launch Event. We all were welcomed by Energetic and Smiling Trio – Kunal, Girija and Ranjit. There are very few places where you won’t be disappointed with any dish and I can definitely say that Souk is one of them. We had and extensive menu for the event and I won’t be going into too much of details and would just list what option we had and my personal favorite ones amongst them.Mocktails: Mojito, Blue Butterfly, Lebanese SunsetLebanese Sunset was my favorite one.Salads: Fattoush, Zaatar Chicken SaladBoth were excellent.Arabia Platters: Hummus Platter, Falafel BulletsHummus platter with 4 assorted flavors (beetroot,basil pesto,jalapenos harissa, and the original) was too good.Kebab Plates: Vegetable & Beetroot Spiced Kebabs, Sumac Chicken Tikka, Chicken Black Pepper, Harissa Chicken Skewers:, Mutton Sheesh Kebabs, Grilled Mushrooms.I skipped Mutton Sheesh Kebabs but apart from that all were superb in taste.Live Station: Chicken Shwarama was good in taste.Turkish Pide: A Boat Shaped flatbread, commonly described as Turkish Pizza4 Cheese Melt – The White Pizza(Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda, Emmental, Basil, Cherry Tomatoes)Pesto Mushroom(Caramelized onions, Garlic Sauteed Mushrooms, cheese, savory pesto base)4 Cheese melt was out of the world. Perfectly baked and full of cheese.Exceptional Desserts: Rose Panacotta, Baklava with Vanilla Ice Cream, Skillet Chocolate Chip Lava Cookie.I have intentionally named it as exceptional desserts and all there were heavenly and are must have at Souk.Overall: Service was prompt and restaurant was hygienic. This place is definitely going to create a buzz in NIBM area. The management has really given a thought over pricing of the dished and almost all dishes are reasonably priced in the range of Rs 120 – Rs 250 which makes this place worth every penny. We were also blessed to have a takeaway of the delicious Baklava so that we could relish it the next day (I couldn’t control myself and had it immediately when I reach home at around 12.45 AM).Thanks a lot Team Souk for the hospitality and a wonderful experience at the restaurant. Wish you all the best and success.
Great food and good service. Need more option on Mocktail drinks.
Good place to hang out.. ambiance is good ...Food is grt.. must try platters and shwarma...
Easy diner offering Lebenese style menu. Okay for a moderately priced casual meal. Sitting is outdoors close to a busy road. We spilt a Mojito cocktail, ordered Harissa chicken skewers and vegetarian platter and rounded off with a Baklava served with ice cream. Bill was around 900/-. Food was over spiced. The baklava was a layered cup with a filling and not a layered savoury.
Love love love this place !!! Everything on the menu is so scrumptious ... Im a big fan of Lebanese food and this place is way more amazing than anyone would expect it to be !!! The hummus platter, tikkas, shawarma, pita etc are all so so delicious ... Will definitely visit Souk soon again
Shawarma and iced tea is my fav here.
Amazing food..loved the quality of the ingredients used in the preparation..
I visited this place a couple of weeks back but still remember the entire experience because of few reasons:The authentic Arabic foodThe great Hummus platterAnd amazing instagramable ambience.A must visit for everyone who is a fan of Arabic food. I can bet this was the best I have tried so far in Pune.I already have plans of visiting again may be this week itself, can recommend to anyone who is a foodie and loves to have food in a great ambience.It might look this is too far from your part of the city, but 100% worth the travel. For me it is quite near and surely going to be a go to place now on.
I had heard alot of positive reviews of Souk and finally had a chance to visit it. The place is beautiful , they have only outdoor seating and one table for indoor seating . Every corner of the restaurant differs from other , everything is very well done which makes it a great hangout place . Well coming to what i had here -*MOCKTAILS*❄ Lebanese Sunset - Great presentation and very lively colour. Summers are incomplete without mango and this is a perfect mango mocktail to have . Consisted of sabja , cherry and mango❄ Pink Lady - Pretty pink mocktail which consisted of cranberry juice , pomogranete , lemon soda . Rejuvenating one.❄ Blue Butterfly - I was in love with the colour of the mocktail , beautiful presentation .Very refreshing . I was halfaway refreshed when i first saw it 😍 .It consisted of pineapple juice , blue curacao and soda . Loved all the mocktails*FREAKSHAKES*❄Salted Caramel Banana Shake - M more of a choco rather than caramel person . The shake was good but it had tasted a bit salty if the proportion of salt could be less than it would have tasted much better .❄ Strawberry Cheesecake Shake - Oh! this was a great concept , a must one to try . Biscuity layer at the bottom and strawberry cheesecake shake loved it .*MAINS*❄ Zaatar Chicken Salad - Presentation was on point , Chicken was tender and scrumptious , salad was moist too .

Every element had its own taste and every component tasted too delish . Right from the sauces to pita bread to hummus and chicken each and everything served in this platter was made to perfection .❄ 4 cheesy fries - Fries served in mayo , salsa sauce , with loads of olives . Who can say no to fries , well after a time it becomes soggy but i.e because it stays in the mayo i would love to taste it when its more crunchy .. This tasted good too❄ Chicken Black Pepper - A great starter dish to have , it stays true to its name . It does contains black pepper which makes it more delectable to have . Presentation was on point and taste too.❄ Turkish Pide - This was served in half and half one side containing spiced minced lamb and other fiery chicken . Chicken was amazing i felt having a thin crust pizza , the chicken used was soo good and yes it was a bit fiery tasted great. Though i dont eat mutton but my friends said it was the best one they had and everything went well with that 🙂*DESSERTS*❄ Baklava with Icecream - Had a heard a lot about this , gave a shot and tried this . This i can say layer by layer perfection with sweet filling in it . Glad to try it out here❄ Rose Panacotta - Simple yet beautiful . The dessert was very appealing as it is rose pink colour and ofcourse a panacotta . It stays true to its name , each bite feels having rose its just soo rosy .. it was garnished with pistachio , trust me rose + pistachhio a combi you wont regret.❄ Skillet baked chocolate chip cookie - Choco lovers this ones for you.. just imagine a big choco chip cookie served with vanilla icecream and as soon as you take a bite of the cookie ,splash of chocolate 😍 Heaven right? . Yes i used to try the same with small cookies but its just dream come true .. Tasted chocolatilicious 😜My Recommendations - I would definitely recommend everything i had here , they were extremely good 🙂Should You Visit This Place - No Doubt best place in pune to revive the middle eastern feel 💃

Its famous Arabian cafe at solunkhe vihar road. You can get all the Arabian food here.
Great food, amazing flavours, quick service!
Very good Arabic food Cafe. Kids loved the pee-day (Turkish pizza on flatbread), platter with humus, falafel and shawarma. Dessert of freshly baked chocolate chip cookie topped with ice cream was delicious! Nice cosy ambience as well.
Souk by Cafe Arabia is one of the best restaurants for lebanese food in Pune. I am very fond of Arabic food. Hummus, pita bread, falafel, souk fries with garlic hung curd dip is awesome. Chargrilled paneer served with buttery herb 🌿 rice 🍚 is delicious. Baklava served with vanilla ice-cream is a great combination. Highly recommend this place. Lovely ambience it is perfect for a great pleasant evening.
Very nice place limited food options but very good and hygiene.
Loved this place. Nice ambience, good music n courteous staff. Topping all of it Great Food. One of the Must-Try restaurants in Pune.
Great Food & Nice place to Hang out...
One of the best places in Pune for middle eastern cuisine !! Have been there 4 times already in the past month and they have been consistent and awesome :)
Mediterranean, Arabian food served. Try skillet chocolate cookie its awesome
I was at Kausar baug to enjoy iftari and had read review about souk close to that location I was craving to have the haleem there, but sadly the haleem was almost over but a friend managed to get a plate for us. I was super excited to taste it with lot of expectations of having the best haleem but sadly I took the first bite to realise that it was extra salty and the haleem was not cooked perfectly. I also ordered a chicken shwarma that turned out to be bland. Soul u Totally disappointed me
Good food nice 👍🏽
It is good and decent place to chill out with friends
Delicious Arabian food, presentation of food is awesome, and food is super 😋
I didnt like their shawarma. Good ambiance
Food is awsomeperfect place to have arabic foodloved it
So me and my wife are really fond of lebanese food and we visited this place twice... The food is awesome, ambience is very comforting and cosy. The prices are very affordable. The staff is very kind. Its a must try place. Their lebanese food , hummus, pita bread, souk fries with garlic hung curd dip , Falafel its just amazing and are at very affordable prices. Highly recommended. Its a must try....❤️

Too good.
Authentic and unique menu
Food is average. Service is fast.
Very nice
The quality of This place is degarding. Earlier I used to recommend Souk to people for their fine taste and authentic dishes. But there were two incidents which led to health issues to my friend after having food here. Please take care of your food quality.
Good food and service
An awesome place to be in. Had got the best taste in Kondhwa. Serves Quality product and also has a great demand here. Given the certificate of excellence. A must visit place.
Best ambience & food as well ❤️
Souk means like a market place in middle eastern world. Menu is nicely mixed and flavours are noteworthy. Very close toIndian taste they are subtle and authentic. Nothing greasy or heavy (like how Arabic food should be) this place is something I will recommend to all people to try affordable middleastern food.
Quality varies a lot at this place. If that can be addressed it a worth place to visit
Ive been to Souk once and that visit changed my entire perception towards Middle Eastern Food. Whatever is served in Souk, goes close to the authentic one which youll get on the Middle Eastern side. Ive had their Shawarma, Hummus platter and the Mojito which were too good.This time I was here to try their Sizzler which is something different and unique coming from a Middle Eastern restaurant. It was surprisingly good and I enjoyed it.Sizzler - We had good options in Veg and non-veg. The main thing was the balance in the flavors that were present in every single sizzler. I loved the peri peri sauce sizzler which was my kind of sizzler. Packed with spicy flavor which was balanced out with veggies. Loved it.Cheese fried chicken skewer was one more great sizzler which I loved it. Perfect crisp chicken with melted cheese on top of it. It was on the milder side because of cheese and fried coating. It couldve been better with some strong sauce or enhanced flavor of spices. Overall it was good.Do visit Souk to try something new and different which youve not before.
Good Food. Good Ambience.
Bbq chickn sizzler...bbq sauce was jst poured onto it. Had really raw flavor to it, destroying the whole taste of evrything in platter!Paneer steak sizzler ...cubes instead of steak! N old paneer served as it was cream in color, had cheese like taste, lil sour... The veggies served in both the sizzlers were bit bitter ..only rice n fries were edible..n oh not to forget. A bit too salty fries !Kebab platter..... Ok taste of all kebabs..nothing impressed us..my brother got few pcs of chicken..undercooked!Pita bread with hummus platter..Good n fresh.Open shawrma platter..it was ok ...bread was too less if we see chicken quantity n white sauce or mayo.. whatever it was on top,was bit too much.Rose Panna cotta..gud presentation bad taste..fmore like frozen ice cream! Not even our spoon cud cut through.Baklava with ice cream ...yummy! It was so good n crispy n fresh..perfect sweet n salty ! might go back jst to have this one thing! Only!
Beautiful restaurant and even better food. Place is extremely pretty and had fun with my partner. Food is presented well and I can tell a lot of care is taken in making sure taste is maintained. My pick for the best middle eastern restaurant in pune.
Awesome ambience and tasty food
Loved the food, really comes very close to authentic Arabian - gulf crusines. One star less as it does not have an ac sitting area but then that is made for with these big steam fans. Anyways its more of an delivery oriented place as you more than customers you will see delivery boys awaiting their order. Love the garlic sause 👌
Good place to try Arabian food in the area. Most authentic peta bread you will taste in Pune.
Good ambiance and taste
The chicken jalapeno naanza is super yum (incredibly spicy tho). Other grilled chicken items are also decent. For vegetarians, the falafel is a good bet.
Kondhwa has found a gem in Arabic food. Although there are many places in this side of town none really stood out in connection to taste and price and quality and service and all together. Good Arabic food and top service music ambience and all.
Lebanese restaurant with a good taste... Enjoyed my meal here... The menu is quite close to the Lebanese restaurants around the world just missing a few delicacies which if added would be a cherry on the cake...
It has potential to be better, quite good otherwise. Weak service though
We loved the Arabic cuisine served at Souk. Prices are competitive. Service is excellent. Recommended!!
Fattoush salad and zaatar chicken salad, baklava is excellent. Hanging lights in the evening add to the charm of this place. It is a sweet spot in Salunkhe Vihar with so many new places here this definitely stands out.
Didnt like it much. Costly
I ordered Chicken Zaatar Salad and it was the worst thing i ate in my life. This was my first time ordering from Souk and it was disappointing the salad was cold , chicken was not cooked properly and taste was like “yuck” . I am never ever going to order anything from Souk.
Not worth at all.
Nice place to eat out now and again would like a little more variety on the menu though
Good ambience paired with delicious Arabic and Lebanese food. Loved it.
Great Ambience! Loved the place. Tasty food!
Fillafil platter without fillafils .. only 4 to 5 sauces and pitas bread guys Ive stayed in the gulf for 7 years and I definitively know what a fillafill looks like...
Gud place and nice environment to sit there and specially famous for shawarma and arabian dishes
Very nice shawarma, n arebic delicacies. Very small joint but good to hang out with friends.
Souk is a new venture by Cafe Arabia which is located at the Salunkhe vihar road.Easy to locate and spacious seating area and parking area too.This place is too good for Meat lovers specially as they serve Arabian,Lebanese & Mediterranean cuisine style.Also too good for vegetarian people as there are many options you’d love to try at Souk.A great fix for middle-eastern cuisine lovers.Also the staff and service is prompt and well-behaved.The place is suitable for all families,groups or even youngsters.One should definitely try their shawarma there.Talking about ambience,as the sun goes down,their significant lights attracts the people ultimately.Pretty lamps which light up the mood and feel you are in the Arabia itself.
Good middle Eastern cuisine. Should visit at night for an amazing experience!
Really amazing food and ambience is also good affordable price
Its ok some of the things are decent but the food quantity is less
Very good food and place, but only for dinner. The flies in the afternoon wont let you enjoy
Very often I crossed this place and was interested to go in. Yesterday went with the family and all really enjoyed the hummus shawarma and falafel. I Remembered my days of dubai. Will definitely visit again and recommend to all.
Best lebanese food in pune. I have tried all the places. I love the shawarma ordered online many time. Try mushroomish for vegetarian . Totally worth for money. Not gonna disappointed eating here. Do explore it...
