Quick info
About Soul Lounge
Soul Lounge is a late-night bar and restaurant on Clapham High St, serving a fusion of Pan Asian and Mediterranean dishes prepared halal. Food arrives as sharing platters, and bottomless brunch runs from a set menu with a DJ playing through service and cocktails included alongside. Table service puts a dedicated waiter with each table, and a wait for that table to be readied is common even for guests who have booked ahead. The kitchen and bar carry on into the late hours, suiting those looking for a night out beyond the usual dinner slot. Booking in advance is the recommended route given how busy the venue gets.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the bottomless brunch, with the drinks described as flowing and the food platter and starters praised, alongside cocktails several call strong and well presented. The DJ and lively atmosphere draw repeated mentions, and one server in particular is singled out by name across multiple reviews as friendly and attentive service that stood out. Close behind, the sushi and drinks presented with edible flowers earn praise for special occasions like birthdays. A recurring complaint concerns overbooking and seating: reviewers describe being placed in a hallway despite an advance booking, and another recounts being cramped on children's chairs upstairs with a long delay for a drink during brunch due to understaffing, though one noted the manager was understanding even without a fix. Several reviewers recommend booking ahead given how busy the venue gets, and one described requesting a refund after an unsatisfactory seating experience.

“Had a wonderful bottomless brunch. We went on Saturday... Music was great maybe a touch too loud. Food was ok.. starters much more appealing than mains. Drinks were plentiful. NOAH was so friendly, charming and a delight. Would definitely go back.”

“We celebrated my daughter's 30th here last night, and could not fault the place. Our whole experience was outstanding....from top class service, great quality of food, and an amazing atmosphere from the Dj's to the deco of the Soul Lounge. Our waitress was brilliant, drinks were onboard/regular and she always greeted us with a smile. If I had to say anything slightly off, then it would have to be......nothing! Well done Soul Lounge for making my daughter's night fabulous ♥️🎉🎂🎶”

“Overbooked us had us squashed up no space for food or drinks. Understaffed so barely got any drinks. Had to wait 45 minutes for a drink during a bottomless brunch? Very poor service. Manager was very understanding but couldn’t do anything to help. We were cramped on children’s chairs upstairs. 0/10 experience .”

“Booked for 2 people for the brunch for 7feb on 10th Jan. Arrived on the 7 Feb to no be greeted at the door and then as stood in confusion, eventually Tatiana greeted us and asked to sit by the toilet until our table was ready. We then noticed a table being brought down and put in the hallway when we asked if this was ours we were told that it was. Considering this booking was made over a month in advance to expect us to sit in the hallway with food being carried over our heads and people squeezing past was unacceptable. We were told there was no other space in the venue. Upon inspection every over group was of 3 or more which I believe is why they felt it acceptable to squeeze us in the hallway and not have the table ready for upon our booking. Would recommend due to lack of organisation. I requested a refund/my card to not get charged.”
