    The show was super funny! Cabaret, music, dancing and a good environment. The assortment of food is limited to some pizza and Italian starters. I enjoyed the Berlusconi Cup

    Had a birthday party there and we had such an amazing time. Music was great, drinks were reasonable and flowing freely and the staff were amazing. Had such a great time!!! Best venue in London if you really want to have a great time

    Cannot thank the team at Bunga Bunga enough! We attended the Buff Boys Brunch and it was such a great event, everyone was so friendly, the food and drinks were great (and constant you were never waiting long if you needed more) and the entertainment was so fun. Also want to thank the team so much as I had messaged asking if we could be as close to the show as possible as it was for a hen do, and they gave us some of the best seats in the house. Thank you!

    This event was a lot of fun. There were a number of competitions, the live entertainment consisted of hosts singing and bantering with the guests. Although we made Pizza dough, you don't make pizza at the venue. Instead, you are served Pizza made by the chefs, and take the dough you made home in order to make your own pizzas at home. That said, it was a lot of fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Went for the pizza making which is actually just dough making. Most people in big groups, so you don't have much choice with drinks, and the servers don't really know much when asking things so always referring to the manager. Trying to get servers attention is another mission and a half. You start off being served with pizza and starters, which were decent but nothing special. Singers are providing entertainment at the same time which was pretty good and fun to listen to. Afterwards, on the same table you make pizza dough from scratch. Was okay but super messy, and then thats it. Dont make your own pizza or anything, just dough and take it home. The pizza dough professionals were really nice and helpful towards the end.

    I went to celebrate my friend’s birthday and I saw good reviews online so I thought it would be a nice place. However, my experience was not great. We had to wait outside for a while and it was very cold, they said the previous show finished later than expected. For the price you pay you expect nice food and nice environment. Food was too simple, nothing I would order again to be honest. Presentation was not nice either and we were 6 and only got 1 tiny basket of bread. We ordered drinks and they forgot as well. Also, tables are too close to each other and you cannot even move… I don’t recommend this place.

    A great fun restaurant located in Covent Garden that provides fantastic entertainment while you eat your food. Food is in the form of a pizza mostly. The pizza is a thin style long pizza. 0.5 metres is £18 and 1m is £36. An additional price of £10 per person per booking is also applied. The pizza is okay. It’s not out of this world or the best but it’s tasty. The atmosphere though is electric and you forget about the food. They have an array of dancers, singers and entertainers to keep you occupied through the evening and at the end of the night it turns into a dance floor. Would highly recommend

    The venue and entertainment were good. 👍🏾 The brunch was average pizza with no meat, which was a little disappointing. When we queried our bill as we didn't think £30 service charge for a bottomless brunch was appropriate. The italian staff member wasn't happy with the reasons we gave to remove S.charge. He came across quite rude and abrupt. I may not be returning If he's there.

    Went here for my birthday and it was absolutely brilliant. I would recommend it to anyone! Making the pizza was so fun and they had us compete for who was the biggest 'tosser'. There was live singing and dancing and a delicious large pizza with various toppings to share at the end. The cocktails were all Italian themed and some of them came in fun glasses like "The Godfather" and "David's Punch". Free Limencello shot if it is your birthday as well. If you haven't been here before, you should, because it is a fantastic night out!

    First of all, £45pp? For what? The starter options are terrible, the non-alcoholic drink option was horrid, the pizza isn’t even per person, it’s between 2 people so why are we being charged per person? Then the menu says 1 metre long pizza… the pizza was scraping on half a meter and again that’s between 2 people! Next, the whole point is to make pizza. Instead we made dough. The dough was made on a table we had eaten on. No one cleans it. There’s no hygiene or anything. There’s no board to make the dough on. There’s no information given on what the dough should look and feel like. What to do with the dough after. No information on what measurements were used for the dough. You learn NOTHING. Then lastly, the point of this is to experience and learn to make pizza and to toss dough… again, if we are being charged £45 PER PERSON, WHY is only one person between 2 people getting the experience and opportunity to toss/spread the dough at the end?! This should be £45 for 2 people! My only petty grievance following the more serious ones listed above is, the music was overbearingly loud, it needed to be turned down just a little notch. Overall, the only good thing I can say is the service/staff was good and the singers/entertainment were very good. Waste of money, false advertising and lack of informative advert overall. Do not get what you pay for at all. Extremely disappointing. If you go, just expect a very small dinner and some entertainment with a little game.

    Title: A Mesmerizing Fusion of Dance and Delicious Cuisine! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Review: I recently had the pleasure of visiting the extraordinary dance place restaurant, and I must say, it surpassed all my expectations! From the moment I stepped inside, I was enchanted by the lively atmosphere, the rhythmic beats, and the tantalizing aromas wafting from the kitchen. This place truly celebrates the art of both dance and fine dining, creating an immersive experience that will leave any guest spellbound. To start, the restaurant's ambiance is sleek and modern, with a hint of elegance that perfectly sets the stage for an unforgettable evening. The interplay of dimmed lighting and colorful decorations adds an air of mystery and allure, allowing the dance performances to shine even brighter. Every step, every spin, and every leap performed by the highly talented dancers adds to the electric energy within the room. The menu, like the dance performances themselves, is a masterpiece. The chefs have truly achieved the perfect choreography of flavors, presenting a diverse range of dishes that are both innovative and comforting. I opted for the chef's tasting menu, and each course was a delightful surprise for my taste buds. From the exquisite presentation to the harmonious blend of ingredients, each dish was a work of art in itself. As I savored every bite, the dance performances continued to captivate me. The synchronicity, precision, and passion displayed by the dancers were a testament to their incredible talent and dedication. Whether it was a traditional tango or a contemporary fusion piece, each performance left me in awe, seamlessly complementing the dining experience. The attentive and knowledgeable staff added to the overall charm of the restaurant. They were excellent guides when it came to pairing the right wine with each course, and their genuine enthusiasm was contagious. The service was prompt, unobtrusive, and warm, making me feel like a valued guest from the moment I arrived. In addition to the unforgettable dining experience, the dance place restaurant also offers dance classes for those interested in learning their moves. I had the chance to participate in a salsa class, and it was an absolute blast! The instructor was patient and encouraging, and the atmosphere was welcoming to dancers of all skill levels. In conclusion, if you're searching for a dining experience that transcends mere delicious food, look no further than this remarkable dance place restaurant. From the breathtaking performances to the delectable cuisine, every element of your visit will leave you wanting more. Whether you're a dance enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates exceptional dining, this place is a must-visit gem that deserves the highest accolades. Thank you Rossella

    An experience. Great cabaret throughout dinner which comprised of starter, main and dessert, all with an Italian theme. The singer Chastity has an amazing voice and great sense of fun. All the acts were superb. Definitely a place for hen parties or a girls night out

    Show started to be a copy of Proud in Embankment rather than great show it used to be :( now instead of singing performances you will get guy on the pole, woman dancing with fire and some girl on the hula hoop which you can see for quarter of the price in Proud

    The show was good, very entertaining and all the performers really put on a great performance and got the crowd going. I really can't fault anything to do with the performers and music! The pizza was pretty good (we had both meat and veggie options) and there was plenty to go around. The prosecco was fine, it was served at room temperature which made it difficult to drink. Staff came around and topped drinks up fairly quickly (until the last 30 minutes) which was good. The one major thing that would ever stop me from coming back is our experience as the show ended. They really really pressure you into leaving a tip, to the point of harassment (I absolutely would've tipped as the performers were amazing if it weren't for the subsequent experience I'll outline next). We also had a terrible experience and felt very intimidated by a female and male member of staff who were asking us to pay a surcharge of £40, despite us having already paid for the brunch through Virgin Experiences. They eventually let us go and admitted there was nothing to pay, but they were highly bullish in their behaviour (to the point I felt unsafe at one point).

    An amazing experience, the cast are FANTASTIC. We had a hen party there and were made to feel so special and looked after. The food was ok, but you don’t go for the food, you go for the delicious drinks and amazing performances. The songs, games and banter had us entertained all night. And finally, if you go, watch to the end!

    We all had a fantastic, fun night and the entertainment was excellent - lots of unexpected touches that made us laugh, sing and dance! Enjoyed the food - pizza was delicious and staff were very helpful too. Recommend going with a group of good friends for the best experience.

    Great experience and fun entertainment. We made pizza dough and brought it home with sauce and cheese. It tasted nice, although the pizza we had at the restaurant had a crispy thin base almost like crisps. Wasn't too keen on the starters. Drinks are over priced and a 15% service charge is added to your total.

    I love bunga bunga, have been to Friday night and Sat night shows, really fun & decent food given the price for a fun night out. Drinks are a smidge expensive here & easy to get carried away. I am yet to try their brunches but really fun venue & wonderful staff / performers.

    Fabulous cabaret meal, entertainers, compere and venue theming all done very well. Some amazing performances too, incredible skill on display! Food was good and for central London a 3 course meal plus that level of entertainment for just £50 a head was fantastic value! We had a table in "the box", which was a brilliant position too for groups of 8 to 12 people. Would definitely return

    Disappointing to be fair...the food wasn't great...we were still left hungry. Where do I even start with the 'so called' entertainment. We had booked a table for my hen night. The website is deceiving. The acts were so random, nothing like what is shown on the website....a couple of dance tricks that lasted 10 mins and then people running around with giant inflatables, chatting nonsense and mimicking the Titanic scene. The staff/doormen were the only good thing about this place. Not worth the £60 you pay for I'm afraid.

  • 4/5 Lauren T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good atmosphere and lovely pizza with the Saturday brunch! Didn’t think there was much entertainment though so thought it was quite pricey considering! Glad I went but thought there was going to be a lot more performance / dancing. Raz the bathroom attendant was super lovely! Bonus point to him for making our experience!

  • 5/5 Guillaume C. 1 year ago on Google
    You don't go to Bunga Bunga for the food, let's be honest. The food was ok. However the atmosphere, the show and the performers were amazing! We had the best night! I recommend to pay an extra £10 per person to get a table close to the "stage" so you can see perfectly everything. Would definitely recommend

    Rossella was fantastic, very accommodating and extremely welcoming. I could see she had a hundred of tables to attend to all at once, however she never failed to give us a smile and to ask how we were doing. So very happy with the service tonight, one of the best nights I’ve had for a while. Thank you.

    I had a great night with friends. The food was top, thanks to the chefs and the show was amazing. If you look for a fun night with live music and entertainment in London, Bunga, Bunga is the right place.
