Description of The Loop
If you manage to make it past the lively bar awash with sex appeal and into the restaurant itself, you'll find The Loop to be funkier and friendlier than ever before with its upbeat design, bold decor and relaxed atmosphere. Their restructured menu revolves around a sharing concept which means there's something for everyone. The best flavours from around the world, balancing ethnic dining through Indian, Chinese, Greek and Spanish influences have been combined for one amazing experience. We recommend the seared beef skewers with oyster sauce, spicy lamb sausages with tzatziki or tempura fried prawn balls with lime and coriander. After dinner, move onto the club where a mix of up-to-the-minute sounds are interspersed with classics of pop. A stylish, clean, airy and excitingly informal place to eat, meet and dance. Enjoy.



Additional information for The Loop
There's something about The Loop's personality that makes it suit group nights out down to the ground. Just as well then that you have all sorts of group booking options. For starters there's the cosy alcove in the main bar that seats a maximum of ten. Then there's the comfy booth area near the bar featuring three leather booths, each comfortably seating 25 people. If that sounds good, then why not hire the entire groundfloor bar? It's perfect for one party of 100 to 150 or two parties of 50. Downstairs in the club meanwhile you can all have a high backed, deep leather booth to yourselves. Right on the edge of the dancefloor it holds 20 people (not all seating), and can be used as a base for larger parties. Good for girlie nights and birthdays, we think.

The Loop Reviews

Kirsty Hogan reviewed The Loop on 21/11/2008

We had a great night at The Loop. We had a 50% off deal and managed to get there for happy hour at the bar which also has 50% off wine and stocked up for dinner. So it ended up being a fun, cheap night! It is quite noisy though, so wouldn't recommend it for a quiet romantic meal.

We went to the Loop for a frends birthday. It's my second time at the Loop and I wasnt disappointed. The food & service were again exceptional. They are currently offering a reduced Xmas menu for £12 - highly recommend. Only bad point, we went on a Tues and was pretty empty. I would highly recommend but maybe try later in the week

CC reviewed The Loop on 27/11/2008

We went to The Loop using the 50% off food offer. The food was amazing, the service was great & they had already taken the money off of our bill without us having to ask. 3 of us had starters, mains & wine for £15 each. Will definitely go back.

RD reviewed The Loop on 28/11/2008

Booked The Loop on the 50% off main meals for after the theatre with a couple of friends and we were not disappointed. Was a little noisy for us but that's what you get for going on a Friday night. The food was really good and and excellent value. Will try to go again but probably on a weeknight next time.

The Loop was a huge disappointment. The food was beyond bland and I could have cooked better in my own house. The camberbert was bitter, the tiger prawns was tiny and hard, the steak was burnt to smithereens.....I think I had better stop there! The service was good though.

EG reviewed The Loop on 20/11/2008

I had a great night out in The Loop. The Steak and risotto were lovely, but the seabass was a big bland. Value for money was excellent and we took full advantage of the happy hour too!

CH reviewed The Loop on 20/11/2008

Having had nights out in Loop, before I wondered what the food would be like, but thankful it was a delight and with the 50% off its unbelievablely good value. The only problem going on a Thursday night the sound system is pumping out dance tunes so no luck for a romantic meal.

KA reviewed The Loop on 29/11/2008

Not a bad place if you are in a larger group. Food is satisfactory but nothing exceptional. This place is more of a relaxed party venue than restaurant. If you want to have a meal, drink and hit the dance floor til late then Loop has it all under one roof.

anon reviewed The Loop on 27/11/2008

In general the food was good. I specially recommend the camembert with caramelised onions as a starter. Good Cocktails even though I am not sure they actually contain much alcohol. I really liked the décor of the place. I was a bit disappointed by the ambience, it was rather quiet and it was Thursday night which is not was I was expecting of a place such as The Loop.

JM reviewed The Loop on 18/12/2008

Great meals for all 4 guests in the restaurant at The Loop. However, our dinner coincided with the end of some Christmas lunches and the blaring music from the bar was piped into the restaurant... both of these impacted the ambiance... we had to shout to hear each other. Perhaps outside the Christmas season this would be better. Food was excellent value.

Kirsty Jones reviewed The Loop on 21/11/2008

The Loop was great as always, we went at 7 on a Friday and the atmosphere was great. Food was excellent, would highly recommend this place.

SM reviewed The Loop on 21/11/2008

Food fantastic and great value, king prawns and camenbert starters were lovely, happy hour in the bar from 5-8pm lots of choice at half price so fab value for money too - would reccomend!

LJ reviewed The Loop on 21/11/2008

The Loop is a great place to go for the whole package - Have a pre-dinner drink in the bar upstairs, then great food in the restaurant downstairs with friendly serving staff. Follow this with a dance in the club part of the joint. The restaurant is pretty noisy beacuse of its proximity to the club, so not really a place for a quiet romantic meal, but great party atmosphere if that's what you're looking for.

CL reviewed The Loop on 26/11/2008

The Loop is great for a group of friends who want decent food and a party atmosphere. It is excellent value for money with the current 50% off the bill and if you time it for happy hour you can stock up on drinks!! Yes it is quite noisy but hey its not a library!! All in all if you are looking for decent food on a budget then give The Loop a go!

WA reviewed The Loop on 26/11/2008

Taking advantage of Toptable's 50% off food and The Loop's own happy hour (50% off wine), The Loop is amazingly good value for money. Food was perfect and service was quick and attentive.

LB reviewed The Loop on 20/11/2008

Loop was as always, good value for money and fun atmosphere. However service at the bar was slow during happy hour, and once the cheap drinks stopped the bar emptied pretty quickly.

AC reviewed The Loop on 25/11/2008

The Loop has great service. A vast venue with multiple rooms it was quiet throughout the night (a pleasant change from the usual tables of screaming patrons one finds in London's restaurants). Great decor but would have benefited from more diners. The happy hour special and 50% off food made it the best value for money meal I've had in London. Most of the food was excellent, although the tomato soup needs some work. Excellent service, friendly and efficient. Would definitely return.

SH reviewed The Loop on 24/11/2008

We went to the loop on a monday for my birthday so it wasn't busy. However, the service was good and the food was value for money with the toptable offer. would definitely go back but on a more popular night

CW reviewed The Loop on 22/11/2008

We had a great experience at The Loop - the Happy hours pricing meant bottles of wine and cocktails were an absolute bargain, and the food was brilliant. It was nice to have the bar and club there to go to, but the noise was separate to that of the restaurant which was perfect. The waitresses were all very friendly and helpful as well.
