    There is an exciting Middle Eastern inspired menu here - catering for veggies, vegans and meat eaters alike. Level access entrance for wheelchair users. Go there - you won’t be disappointed!

    I don't ever leave reviews for places, but I just want to say something about this restaurant. My friend and I took magic mushrooms while I was visiting her in Bristol, in a park many miles' walk away. Once we had stopped tripping to the point where we could handle a walk, we set off on an epic adventure which felt several hours long. When we eventually arrived at Souk Kitchen and they had a table available for us outside, it felt like stumbling upon an oasis in the desert. One of the dishes we ordered was the halloumi with pineapple, which was probably one of the best things I've eaten in my life. I still think about it eighteen months later with fondness. The photos are from the second time I visited with my friend, at their other location (the halloumi came with something else which was delicious but sadly didn't hit the same as the pineapple).

    A fabulous neighborhood place in Southville, Bedminster. We got a very warm welcome on the most horrible and wet days. They have an excellent off the beaten track wine list. The Assyrtiko and Saperavi are perfect! Lovely flatbread and hummus starters. The flatbread was warm and soft, with lovely buttery herbs. The hummus lovely and creamy with burnt chilli butter. So good. Mains were plenty as the food is tapas style. We loved the buttermilk chicken, the prawns, the crispy potatoes, mackerel and the pork souvlaki. The sauces and Mayo's etc that came with everything were exceptional. The Moroccan mint tea was made with real mint leaves and was divine. Service was wonderful. We were served with a smile, by a young woman and man who were helpful as one of our party is allergic to tomatoes.. Wish we could give 6 stars!! Was so engrossed in the food and company that I forgot to take photos!

    It was the first time I’d been since they had their new tapas menu but the food was lovely. The flat breads and hummus were delicious but the courgettes were by far my favourite.

    Just had a late lunch at Soukkitchen and it was AMAZING! The service was great, really quick and friendly. But the food was even better! Each small plate that came out was both delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. Portions are really generous for small plates, very good value for the price. Would highly recommend the pork belly and halloumi.

    Delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Great portion sizes and friendly service. Nice to see a wine list that has more than French and Italian options available. Turkish red wine was a nice touch. Falafels, humous qnd pitta, grilled pork and their version of shashuka is a must. Apple and cinnamon and dates ice cream to finish was just perfect. Great place to take your friends for dinner. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly and managed to get us a table last minute altough they are fully booked usually. If you visit Bristol must give this one a try. I am sorry I haven't got more photos yet but we were too focused eating.

    It is a nice place to have Turkish/Moroccan/Arabic food in Bristol. The place looks very popular, and the owner was very helpful. We had all types of vegetarian and non vegetarian food. The tastes were typical Mediterranean with lot of butter & oil. It's good to enjoy such food once in a while, not advisable on regular basis. Overall, we enjoyed.

    Had an excellent dinner, all the dishes we tried were amazing. Very impressed and will be coming back! Great variety and flavours.

    Absolutely delicious food, great atmosphere and A* service. I honestly can't rate this place highly enough. The charred cabbage dish was my personal favourite and the Margarita was as good as you will ever get. Everything was flavoursome, fresh and vibrant. Its now in our calendars for monthly visits.

    Our visit to Souk Kitchen was unplanned, thanks to a Google Maps detour that rerouted us from our original Turkish dining destination. Once seated and handed the menus, we took it as a sign to stay and explore. The meal started off with an unexpected twist—fried peppers that were green, not red. It was a small but surprising change that had us questioning our culinary color codes. The halloumi and grilled watermelon pairing was an unexpected hit, both refreshing and flavorful, proving that sometimes the best combinations are the most unexpected ones. The Moroccan beer was a nice touch, complementing the varied flavors on the table. The fish dish was perfectly executed, and the bread was nothing short of amazing. The shell on tiger prawns, although visually stunning, had a sandy crunch that was a bit distracting, but it didn't overshadow the overall experience. Though the prices were on the higher side, Souk Kitchen turned out to be a delightful mistake that Google Maps led us to. While we still intend to check out that Turkish place sometime, this accidental find was a journey worth taking in its own right.

    The food was good, not amazing in my opinion. The cocktails, one was good and the average. The service wasn't the best and was a bit too loud that couldn't have a conversation.

    Very nice menu, cosy seating area and attentive staff. They catered for my dietary needs which I appreciated. Food was lovely. Full of flavour, very plant based with nice nut and spice mixes providing the bulk of the flavour. The houmous and taramosalata were banging.

    Great restaurant (4th visit). Delicious mezze dishes - they pay particular attention to depth of flavour, colour and texture. Proper sized portions too. Chilled atmosphere. Great waiting team too - attentive without being intrusive.

  • 5/5 Ben C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, tried practically the full and menu and couldn't fault a thing! Must visit to anyone vegetarian, but plenty of fish and meat choices as well. Well priced for the quality of the food!

  • 4/5 Emily H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is absolutely incredible. The only thing that let it down a bit was the staff. Some of them weren’t very approachable and a bit miserable maybe they were just having a bad day everyone has bad days apart from that this is a super restaurant with a great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Rob G. 1 year ago on Google
    I had no idea what to expect from this restaurant, as a colleague had booked us in for a meal after work. We were a group of 10 or 11, so at recommendation of our server, we ordered two of every Mezze dish and three flatbreads. These were all served to the table in a relaxed manner, a few dishes at time coming out from the kitchen, which we all shared between us. All delicious and all very different from each other. A very enjoyable meal and nice to see they had Clear Head low alcohol beer for those of us not on the booze.

    My favourite restaurant in Bristol. Food is always incredible, service is amazing! A must to visit if you're in Bristol 🙌

  • 5/5 Jason W. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding. One of the best meals out we've had in quite some time. A real variety of things on the menu, each with layers of wonderful flavour. Delicious. Service was also excellent. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

  • 3/5 Karen O. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is really good but overpriced. Portions are small for the cost. Mezze sized dishes but main course prices. Service wasn't great, tried to catch waiting staff's attention a few times but they didn't seem interested. Its a small place and so that shouldn't happen. No one came to ask if we wanted more drinks or dishes. So we choose not to pay the discretionery service charge. In summary great food, overpriced, staff needs training or be replaced.

    The food is absolutely incredible, every plate was delicious and there is lots of choice. The atmosphere was buzzing even though we went on a random Wednesday night. The only downside was the smokey margarita which was really not delicious, though that is no reflection on the restaurant, just a misorder of my own!

  • 4/5 Nathalie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic dining experience. Mezze dishes come one after the other at the most perfect time like a sort of ritual. Some are memorable, my favourite being the roasted cauliflower. One of the best hummus plates I've ever had.

    Fabulous mothers day lunch with my lovely daughter. Food was delicious especially the chicken and beetroot dishes.

  • 4/5 Michael P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Mediterranean mezze. Every dish was delicious, would recommend the Halloumi. We had about 7 dishes between 2 of us. The part that let the meal down, and this also happened the previous time I have been too, was that the waiter refused to write any of the order down, so there was items missing. As the dishes come when they are ready it is difficult to realise until the end that dishes were forgotten.
