Help! Looking for a bellydance venue...

Hi there, I really hope someone could advise...

Earlier this year, I went with a friend to the Tribalondon launch party with the Bellydance Superstars that was held at Shish in Old Street - and it was so much fun. My birthday is coming up, and we were planning on going back, even if there was no bellydancing, we loved the food and drink. Except, Shish has closed down :(

So, I was wondering if any of you could suggest a similar alternative? Where in London is good for a birthday party, but still reasonably priced? I guess we would like somewhere that does bellydancing, good authentic food, really good cocktails, and maybe has an area where you can sit on cushions on the floor, has a shisha pipe etc.
Birthday is November 10th, so would be looking to go on the weekend of 13th/14th/15th, or even a weekend after that. I know there's a place in Covent Garden (though I can't remember the name, I think it's on one of the roads off Neal Street/7 Dials), but a friend is having something there the week before, so that's out :/
Central London is preferable, though south is good too. I was going to pick somewhere from this list: www.londonbellydance.com/page10.htm ...would anyone be kind enough to cast an eye and recommend? The ones that have caught my eye are Efes II, Levant, and Maison Touragent, but I'm not sure. Or if there are any other places/events that you know of, please let me know!

It was this very tribe that got me to Shish in the first place, so naturally I'm coming to you again for advice. Thanks! :)

...and as an aside, I'm going to my first ever bellydance class on Thursday! Soooo nervous!
