Best Restaurants for Groups in Barking

Excellent pre-theatre supper at Emilia’s. Pasta was delicious and inventive and service personalised and friendly. Highly recommend!

Better food than you will often find in a large hotel with delightful staff.

Really nice new spot in Dagenham, such a great addition to the area! As someone who lives in Barking and Dagenham, it's refreshing to see more aesthetically pleasing venues popping up. The space is clean, intimate, and has a great vibe, which I really liked. The DJ was excellent and inclusive with the music selection, not just Afrobeats, but a good mix of other genres too, which is often missing in many African lounges and bars. As for the food, I only tried the suya. It wasn’t bad, but I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. Service was generally fine, though I do feel that if the venue were busier, the team might struggle a bit. We ordered a few bottles of champagne, and unfortunately, each one was served warm. Just a note — champagne should always be served chilled. The ice bucket is meant to maintain the temperature. That said, I’d definitely go back! It’s a lovely spot with lots of potential!

Really enjoyed our evening at Lupollo - really great service and delicious pizzas. Highly recommend.

Service was exceptional, the staff were attentive, polite and professional. The food came out presented beautifully and was delicious. A great place to hang out and catch up with friends in a relaxed atmosphere and decor.
