Had a reservation for a table for 11pm for 7 people. Got there and they had no record of our booking. No table available, so no food for us. Had to stand at the bar. Disappointing service.

Food was excellent - worth the wait - as long as you have time. The resturant was empty when we arrived and no one else came while we were there, unless it was to just ask if they could use the toilet. Service was friendly but booking a table at lunchtime and on arrival saying yes that we would be eating only getting one menu between 4 of us wasn't ideal - waiter seemed surprise on returning that we weren't ready to order. We then had to wait for him to finish his lunch so we could get his attention to get the bill. Music was loud for an empty place and also not the most appropriate - lots of swearing.

Lunch with our family was disappointing overall. The restaurant has more of a nightclub atmosphere than a place for lunch. The music was loud and included uncensored lyrics. Since we were dining with our kids, we politely asked if they could switch to something more family-friendly. It was lunchtime, the restaurant was mostly empty with only one or two other tables occupied, so it didn’t seem like an unreasonable request. As many other reviews have mentioned, the food took far too long to arrive—about 45 minutes to an hour. The burgers are expensive, around £39, but since they’re advertised as steak and Wagyu burgers, I expected exceptional quality and didn’t mind paying for a great meal. Unfortunately, they didn’t deliver. My Wagyu burger was extremely dry and lacked flavor. I ended up adding a lot of salt and pepper just to make it reasonably enjoyable. The steak burger was literally a solid piece of chewy steak rather than what you’d expect from a burger. The one bright spot was the bartender/server. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the kitchen let him down. Overall, it wasn’t worth the time or the money. Spending nearly an hour waiting for food that didn’t meet expectations made this a disappointing experience.

The sheesha, snacks and food was good! Service was good however I thought the prices were on the high end especially for the cocktails and the sheesha. The waiter that served us was really good, prompt and courteous.

Food was lovely and everyone was great. However waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our food which was unacceptable with no apology or discount on bill.

We had pre-booked a table for New Year’s Eve; however, upon arrival we were placed in a quiet corner of the restaurant, which was extremely disappointing. This was particularly frustrating given the misleading information on social media, which presented the venue as fun and lively. After raising our concerns, we were moved to a different section, although this did little to improve the overall experience. While the waiter was polite and professional, this was unfortunately the only positive aspect of our visit. One member of the bar staff was rude and unhelpful. Additionally, customers were smoking inside the restaurant, which is entirely inappropriate and showed a complete lack of consideration for others’ health and comfort. We were left waiting an excessive amount of time for the bill while seated in these conditions. When the bill eventually arrived, it included an additional £30 charge for a drink we did not order. We were then informed of a £60 minimum spend per person, despite no such requirement being communicated at the time of booking. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and reflects very poor communication. The matter was only resolved after the manager intervened and corrected the bill. Overall, the experience was disappointing and fell well below an acceptable standard. We will not be returning.

We booked at 4pm as we were travelling back home at 6pm. This gave us plenty of time to chat and enjoy the food and atmosphere which was nice and quiet but with relaxing background music. The service was prompt and courteous by smartly dressed waiters. Food was exquisitely presented and tasted divine. Highly recommended.

FAQs

Bocca Lounge is an opulent, instagrammable lounge and café-style eatery offering shisha, drinks and a Private VIP room with scenic balcony views; expect lively live-music and party nights alongside calm, relaxed lunches.

Business casual, aim for neat, polished but relaxed clothing (think a smart shirt or blouse and tidy shoes) rather than formalwear.

Bocca Lounge is at its calmest in the mid‑afternoon/early-dinner window, guests specifically mention a 4pm visit being nice and quiet, while later evening service tends to be busier and more energetic.

Bocca Lounge is at its liveliest for big events and party nights, New Year's Eve and celebratory evenings can be especially busy, while lunches and early-evening visits are often quieter with relaxing background music.

Bocca Lounge mixes a dining room and lounge/bar with counter seating opposite the open kitchen, plus a top‑floor Private VIP Room with scenic balcony views and an upstairs lounge/entertainment area.
