About:One of the whackiest restaurants in the Wicker Park hip-dining zone, the facade of Souk is decorated with inverted plexi-tusks. The name is Arabic for market, and the eatery specializes in contemporary Middle Eastern food with an Egyptian emphasis. Dishes include such exotic fare as Kefta Samak (fish cakes served with arugula, roasted pepper and lemon salad) and Batta Bil Rumman (cardamom marinated breast of duck with a pomegranate sauce over rice pilaf, mixed nuts and okra). Celebrity designer Anton Paul Kobrinetz is responsible for the hipper-than-life decor, including leather-topped tables and banquettes covered with animal pelts.

    Souk: Souk's food was good. Their dessert selection wasn't good and the desserts did not taste palatable. The service was the worst thing of all. I went there before the bellydancer performance and I felt like my guests and I were being rushed to leave the place before the show crowd arrived, not even giving us a chance to decide if we want to watch the show or not.

    Little Bread, Big Circuses: Okay, I'm not all that adventurous when it comes to grub. Love Souk's kicky decor and starving artist-type waitstaff. Was baffled by much of the menu, but found comfort with the familiar (and delicious) lamb. I went on a night when the belly dancers came out throwing their hips so wonderfully I swear the plates moved. If you want that kind of visual excitement along with your kabobs, call and ask which nights the dancers perform.
