Souk

Souk, which is located in Trinity Groves, is designed to evoke a marketplace, with strategically placed baskets and hanging lamps and lighting meant to imitate slatted sunlight beaming through the roofs of vendor booths. The front is always open wide to the patio area, and despite the chill, the smells drifting from the open kitchen and tile-covered oven have attracted a lot of people. The menu is a play on Moroccan street food, but it also reflects the history of Moroccan colonialism, with Spanish and Portuguese influences. The crawfish cronuts for example are inspired by Spanish croquetas, made with shellfish or cod. The lunch menu also features batbout, a flat bread pizza, with mushrooms and baby zucchini, pomegranate cheesecake with berry compote and Kaanache's seasonal cronuts. The dinner menu is more expansive, with lamb tagine, takouta salad, described as Marrakech ratatouille and Moorish paella for six people, that must be ordered 24 hours in advance.
