Souk
Souk Review
The top floor of the 19-floor Taj hotel is home to this restaurant serving Turkish, Egyptian, Lebanese, and Persian food. High ceilings, enormous pots, intricate giant hanging lamps, and blue light make the restaurant mysterious and mystical. To add to its atmosphere, a Middle Eastern band croons mournful music while Bombay's lights twinkle at your feet. Like any good souk restaurant, the starters served with warm, fresh breads are delicious and filling. Go for the sampler platters, and make sure you have some hummus and an eggplant dish. For the main course try the lahm bamia (lamb stew), d'jaj m'qualli (stuffed chicken), and tagine vegetables (stew) with rice. Other good options include the kebabs and the labneh bi zayt (yogurt dumplings). Desserts are unusual: bastilla au lait (flaky pastry with almond cream) and baklavas spiked with honey and stuffed with dry fruit.
