About De Lounge
De Lounge is a West African restaurant and sports bar at 2 Linton Rd. in Barking, serving Nigerian comfort food alongside a full bar. The menu includes grilled fish, fried yam and spicy goat meat. Large screens cover nearly every wall, so the room is set up for watching TV sports, and the tables and seats are arranged in several different ways. African decor and Nigerian music carry through the space. From 11pm the restaurant turns into a party lounge, with a DJ playing Nigerian hits for those staying out late. A hotel sits next door.

“Came here for dinner. We had grilled fish, fried yam, fried plantain and spicy goat meat. The fish was not so tasty. The fried plantain was too soft. The goat meat was very tough to eat and the fried yam was just a few pieces. Was not so impressed with the food at all. But the music was great. The customer service was good.”

“This best pub in Barking with am African theme and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and willing to make you feel relaxed and welcomed. It's a large pub with outdoor area and hotel next door. It's set up like a sports bar with large screens on nearly every wall so you don't miss any action. I called.in on a Sunday afternoon when it was quiet but imagine this place.osnkicking in the evenings and weekend.”

“King's lounge was absolutely fantastic. It's been a while I partied with Africans and it was so nice to see so many people turn up with Nigerian hits playing back to back. The DJ was great as well and they were a lot of foreigners dancing to our beats so that made my night. I'm definitely going back there soon again for an awesome night out. If you want to have a fun night out, visit King's Lounge.”
