About This Pub

Ah, Arena Lounge UK – it's one of those places that just feels like a hidden gem tucked away near Wembley Stadium, run by a family business that's poured their heart into turning an old pub into something special. From what I've gathered chatting about it with others, the food really steals the show; that Indo-Chinese and Kenyan fusion is a fresh twist on classics, and paired with solid service from the team, it's no wonder it's got such high praise overall. The atmosphere is spot on for a laid-back evening – think cosy nooks and a stylish setup that makes you want to linger over drinks. And let's not forget the free parking, which is a lifesaver in that area! On the flip side, though, if you're planning a big group outing, you might run into a few hiccups with seating arrangements, potentially landing outdoors, which isn't always the best if the weather's playing up. Plus, while the grub's tasty, a couple of comments suggest it could be refined a bit more. All in all, it's a solid choice for a night out with friends, offering that perfect mix of comfort and excitement, but just keep those little niggles in mind to make the most of your visit.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is an absolute delight, with a tasty fusion of Kenyan and Indo-Chinese flavours that really hits the spot – think butter chicken and pani puri that keep you coming back for more.
  • Service is spot on; the staff are friendly, quick to suggest options, and handle things with great hospitality, making you feel right at home.
  • Free parking is a real bonus, especially when you're out and about in a busy spot like Wembley – it takes the hassle out of the evening.
  • The atmosphere is cosy and stylish, with a comfortable vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates or enjoying a relaxed meal in their contemporary setup.
  • It's got a solid reputation with a high rating, meaning it's a reliable choice for a good night out, whether you're popping in for drinks or a full meal.
Cons
  • Booking for larger groups can be a bit tricky, as you might end up seated outdoors if space is tight, which isn't ideal on a chilly evening.
  • The outdoor seating area could use a little more attention to make it as welcoming as the inside – it's got potential but needs some TLC.
  • Some folks have mentioned that while the food's generally good, it could do with a few tweaks here and there to reach that next level of perfection.

I had booked a table online through OpenTable for a group of 13. About an hour before our reservation, the restaurant called to inform me they didn’t have space in the main dining area and could only seat us outdoors. I reluctantly agreed, as I knew finding another spot for a large group would be nearly impossible on a busy day due to a sporting event. When we arrived, I was told they had no reservation for us as they believed I had cancelled it. After some back and forth, they did manage to seat us outside, but our group was split up. The restaurant was extremely busy, and service was quite poor initially — we had to ask multiple times for cutlery even after our food had arrived. After finishing our starters and raising concerns of the outside seating, we were offered tables inside, but again, our group had to be split. On the positive side, the food was very good and well-prepared. Service improved later in the evening as things calmed down, and Rakshit helped improve the situation by offering a discount on the bill due to the various issues we faced. Overall, while the food was great and we appreciated the gesture at the end, the disorganization and poor initial service really let the experience down. Would have rated it higher under different circumstances.

Arena Lounge UK is a place that immediately captures your attention with its elegant and modern design. From the moment you cross the threshold, you feel the atmosphere of luxury and comfort, which is the perfect combination for an unforgettable evening. The interior deserves a special mention. Soft lighting, comfortable sofas, stylish decor elements – every detail is thought out to the smallest detail. This creates a sense of exclusivity and allows guests to relax and enjoy socializing with each other. The menu at Arena Lounge UK is a true gastronomic adventure. Here you can find dishes for every taste, from classic appetizers to delicious desserts. I would especially like to mention the skill of the chef, who uses only fresh and high-quality ingredients to create real masterpieces.

Maybe it's midweek, but the place has the potential to be a buzzing venue. The food was really good. And did I mention it has free parking! Pani puri and the Delhi-style butter chicken were our favourites. Good place to bring family and friends. Outside seating could do with a little bit more love and creativity. In summer I would love to see music, play and drinks set up there.
