Soussi Restaurant

Nice find and good service and food. Because of the Hookah upstairs they allow smoking in most areas… but the air filtration is great so you don’t smell it… I had some appetizers and the mint tea. The sliders were great and the shrimp dish was grand, even if there were few shrimp… sauce was wonderful with excellent bread rolls included. I would skip the desert options - cheesecake options just so-so… Loved the authentic music and vibe… I will return there when I’m in the area…

Food and atmosphere were to notch. During a crowded DC night, this was a nice low-key place to been with hookah, great drinks, and good energy. I would recommend the hookah simply based on the prices in comparison to other locations. The process of having multiple waiters got a tad bit confusing, but there was always someone to help us! Recommendations: Calamari, Baked Salmon, and Lamb Sliders

The booths go all the way around upstairs and they are so comfortable. Get your hookah on and enjoy the night with great drinks and laughter. Best place for a party, event, date or just some solo time. The manager John is a delight and definitely with coming back to chat it up with.

I had the most AMAZING tea in DC at soussi. Not only are the drinks incredible, the music, and the atmosphere but the service is phenomenal. I’m extremely impressed by our bartender— Aya. She is hilarious, exceptionally skilled, and great at her job! The best bartender in Washington DC for sure!

Food was good in and of itself but well overpriced for both the quality and quantity. Had a weird experience with what I assume to be one of the managers? Bigger woman with round facial features and dark hair, idk. We had one server originally was great but for some reason the manager stepped in all of a sudden and told us with some attitude that /she/ would be serving us from now on. Seemed somehow smug and angry at the same time the whole meal -not sure who she thought she was fooling though, ive worked in food service and can recognize a fake smile a mile away. Anyways, she ended up rushing us out the door and took the hookah away before we were done with it even though we had already paid to use it. Honestly please dont get ripped off lol.
