10 Best restaurants for Lounge in London

Mediterranean inspired restaurant and lounge

I checked out @no5dining a lovely Turkish-inspired restaurant and lounge in North London. 

The decor is very Instagram-friendly and has a great vibe - I went on a quiet Monday evening and took my bestie out for his birthday.

What We ordered

TRUFFLE CROQUETTES £10.50
SCALLOPS £13.50
OCTOPUS £11.50
FILLET STEAK 270G £42
LAMB SHOULDER £25.50
MAC ‘N’ CHEESE £6.50
Virgin PINA COLADA
Virgin MOJITO
CHOCOLATE BOWL £12

The starters I had were all excellent. 

My favourite dish was the Crispy truffle croquettes - filled with truffle, mushrooms,  onions and bechamel sauce, coated in a crispy and light bread crumb roll - this was so good i ordered it twice - A MUST ORDER

The scallops were very good as to the octopus which had a delicious charred taste. (note octopus might not be permissible under certain schools of Islamic thought) 

I got the fillet steak, it was cooked more towards medium than the requested medium rare, it didn't have a deep flavour profile, I've definitely had better. I think the Kitchen rested it for too long, by the time it got to me the temperature wasn't hot. It was also served with Macadamia paste, beetroot purée and quinoa which really was a strange combination that didn't work, but it did come with chips. 

My mate got the lamb shoulder, 14 hour slow-cooked lamb moulded in 2 discs on the plated served on carrot puree, I found it just okay, I expected a richer level of flavours.

For desserts, we moved to the stylish lounge area, where we shared a Chocolate bowl a fun dessert that's dropped onto the table; inside the bowl, you'll find loads of sweet treats like brownies, ice cream, macaroons, strawberries and toffee cake served with warm white chocolate poured on top. I found it too sweet for me, 2 of us couldn't finish it. 

This spot would be ideal for a special occasion, girl's night out or date night with live entertainment from Friday to Sunday. Kids under 12 not permitted. The starters were fantastic but the mains I had were a little average. The drinks were very balanced and well made.

I thought it was gonna be one of those places where the decor is the priority over food, but I was wrong!

Meal was complimentary #invite

Are lounge restaurants more STYLE over SUBSTANCE?

I have to say @no5dining actually has both style and substance.

For a special occasion we visited @no5dining and have to admit the food was stunning.

Has to be one of the best Wagyu steaks I've had this year. Seasoned to perfection and prepared to a mouth-watering medium rare. It was so good.

We had the following:
Octopus £11.50
Sweet Chilli Boneless Chicken Wings £10.50
Wagyu Ribeye Steak £69.00
Sirloin Steak £35.00
Mac n Cheese £6.50
Chocolate Bowl £12.00
Lemon Tart £8.50

The venue is huge, with a modern and stylish decor.

My only critique is that the Mocktails are limited and not very memorable.

Apart from that, @no5dining is a great option if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion.

First time visiting.

Sal was our waiter and he was absolutely lovely and very attentive.

He brought over a birthday treat as a surprise...Thank you.

The food is delicious and the passion fruit martini is on point.

Definitely would recommend 👌🏽

Came for our Christmas night out. Had to wait slightly for our table due to the previous people not wanting to leave after having such a great time. But the staff did their best to keep us cheerful Sab looked after us all night - nothing was too much her service was second to none! She saved the night! The entertainment was great the whole of our party were up dancing by the end of the night!

This restaurant was by far one of the best I have ever experienced. The service was impeccable, the food was very filling for a reasonable price and the atmosphere was extremely cozy. The overall experience was a 10/10, I am very happy with this restaurant! Amazing servers, amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing vibe! Keep it up. Special shout out to Alfia, the best server! Love you bubs x

I really enjoyed my dinner and lounge experience at No 5. The staff is friendly and attentive, especially Mus who served us. The food was delicious. I really liked the mushroom pasta and our ice dream dessert came with sparklers, which added a nice touch. There were also dancers in the venue and they brought a great vibe. The shisha was also very good! Overall a fantastic evening with my friend, I would definitely come back for a dinner there.

Our experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The food was amazing and the entertainment kept us engaged and smiling the entire time. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave! Everything was truly a 10 out of 10. A special mention goes to Magi, who really stood out. She was constantly smiling, incredibly attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our visit. Her energy and kindness added something extra special to an already fantastic experience.
Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!

New lamb burger from Mamounia Lounge in Knightsbridge. Went with the lovely peeps at @halalgems for their monthly burger Monday get together. 
The burger itself was rather disappointing. There's only lamb burgers on the menu, lamb is a far more naturally flavoured meat compared to beef. But this was a very average lamb burger. We were not asked how we wanted the burger Cooked, as a result we where served with a over cooked well done burger which drew all the natural juices out of the burger and made it too dry. The first bite was pleasant enough, there's was a simple spiced lamb flavour that I could taste, but then each bit became a challenge and required effort. It was not the most enjoyable experience, my mouth became drier with each bit, I found myself constantly asking for my glass of water to be topped up, which it seemed like a age. 
What tops it off is the price. £14, or £15.75 Inc service. Someone call the cops because I've just been robbed. Its the most expensive burger I've had in London and certainly one of the most disappointing. 
What annoyed me more was I thought about the lamb burger I could not got from Five Lads in Leyton for and fraction of the price and that tastes better...then I kinda wished I had a stax Burger or something. 
Only plus of points where the decor of the place and the presentation, it held together. But when a burger is that dry, there was no danger of it falling apart. Wait.. Where was the cheese?argh 
One to avoid. 
4/10

Mamounia Lounge Mayfair

We purchased houmous with flat bread, baby chicken, lamb kafta, and baklawa.

The baby chicken was one of the best chicken main course dishes I have tried in London, or abroad.

The houmous and flat bread was also good. The baklawa was good. The lamb kafta was good.

The best dish that we tried on the menu was the baby chicken main course dish, I would highly recommend it. It is soft, well seasoned, with garlic, a sauce to dip the chicken in, and salad.

The woman who served us was polite.

We usually come here for shisha, and the food is decent — this time we tried the chicken broth soup, and it was quite good. The lady taking care of the outside area was very attentive and kind, and we really appreciate her. We were sitting outside and the heating was great, making it very comfortable.

It’s a bit different from 5 years ago.
The tables are not as busy as before now.
Shisha is coming to £70 but understandable.

Will still be a good spot if you want shisha ant somewhere to talk and chill.

Walked up hoping this restaurant would be a good time and it did not disappoint in the slightest. The shisha was quickly brought out and it lasted for quite a while which easily shows that they know how to properly prepare it. Probably of the best hookahs I’ve had in a long time but it doesn’t stop there because the food was just as amazing. Started off with the hummus that came with an outstanding Lebanese bread that we had to get more of even when the main dish came. Went with the baby chicken dish and the chicken skewers were seasoned to perfection and when paired with their chili pepper spread and garlic aioli. All the servers were great to interact with and very attentive. Probably one of the best places I’ve been to in London to have a meal and vibe at. Would definitely recommend!

Honestly to come here and relax it is a haven for such saviours.

I came this time to try the food.
We ordered grilled halloumi., Lamb sambousek, kibbeh makieh., Moutabel., breads coffees fresh orange., Moroccan green tea

The service is good.

Nice olace for locals to enjoy the Shisha

All meat is Halal, no pork at the venue. Alcohol is served.
