Arcade Food Theatre in Camden

I liked it so much that I ate here twice in two days. The first time was dinner and the second was lunch. What immediately struck me when I entered was the variety of different cuisines available under one roof - Indian, Middle Eastern, American, Nepali, Japanese, Mexican, Cantonese, Indonesian, and Plant-based. It's easy to order using an app that pops up after you scan a QR code. The food is brought to your table. The energy in the restaurant is high. They have good music piped in., I got the impression that it was a popular place for friends to hang out given the number of groups that I saw seated. The food was good. For dinner, I had a Mojito, Spicy Tuna Roll and Lime and Ginger Cashews. The Mojito was refreshing but did not have a lot of rum. The Tuna Roll tasted good. When I came the second time for lunch, I had Spicy Tuna Sando which my colleague had the previous night. It was chopped up Spicy Tuna on top of Avocado and Watercress layered on sushi rice. Everything was in a fried seaweed folded in half to hold the contents. It looked like a Japanese version of a taco!

Very fun place to eat. It was great going to a place where everyone could choose what kind of food they wanted without a family fight breaking out.

The service was quick and simple, all done through the app. The food arrived as expected aside from the condiments missing which was remedied by a member of staff. We had meals from different restaurants but they both arrived within a few moments of each other. The food was delicious and atmosphere was pleasant even given it was a busy day. Highly recommend.

Big group came for a team outing. No servers came to us. We had to request water and glasses. The spicy margarita had salt all down the side of the glass where u hold it rather than the rim so all the salt was in your hand and are you supposed to taste it from the side of the glass?? Food took ages to arrive. The Internet was not working so difficult to order. After having spent a lot of money it was not worth the effort. We were looking to talk to the team instead spent time trying to order the impossible. The whole system does not work.

Tasty, affordable and nice atmosphere. This review is only based on two dishes, which both were lovely. Nepalesian dumplings and spicy chicken loin with waffle fries. Both was really nice experienses. Will definitly come back here, next time in London.

Hi all, The food was great, but the CUSTOMER SERVICE was BAD!!! We were a big company, celebrating, having a wonderful time. The food was perfect, on time and delicious. Until… One of the hosts (or managers), was rude and we EXPERIENCED A BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. She was with a curly hear and brown eyes. Her name was ENTELA/ TELA or else, as far we heard calling her... We wanted to ask her something about the food. At the beginning, when she met us. she was polite, but after that she was acting like is too busy working. This was for more than hour, while we were there. She was standing or moving around one handsome man with dark hear, dark eyes, dark clothes, and a beard. It was obvious that she was flirting/talking with him instead of serving the clients and pretending that is doing something!! I do not know about the rest of the team, but she was there like only to ‘kill time’ and take the wedges. We called her more than once, but she ignored us, even she saw us and made eye contact with us. At least she should send someone else to check on us!!! When we tried to approach her, she again ignored us, like nothing happened and act that she is busy to speak now. We were there to eat and have support with the service (if needed), not to watch how someone is there to mix the professional duty with personal life! I do not know what kind of relationship she has with that handsome man, but it looks there is more than professional relationship. If you cannot control your behavior at work, you do not need to work with clients… At the end we managed to ask someone else, but still, they could not answer us (how you do not know what is in the meals you serve!!)! There might be someone with allergies that would like to remove some of the ingredients, or we might need to move to another table. @THE MANGERS: You have a great food and facilities to eat, but if your employees are there to flirt, then have a word with them please!! This is not a good customer service! Probably they need training as well. Thanks, Debbie & friends

Great service, wonderful food with a good selection. Made to order and all fresh! Would not hesitate going there again Reasonably priced and would recommend

The only place on a warm, busy night where we could get a table outside...for a good reason. Menu is extremely limited despite there being multiple 'restaurants' in the venue. Wine list is even worse and what is available is disgusting. We ordered a bottle of the organic white which seemed to be the only white available the bottle (difficult to tell on the wildly un-user friendly scan at table/order system) Service is patchy, place is scruffy and there are generally 100 better places to spend your money in the vicinity.

I had a booking for a group of 10, a few more turned up than expected and the staff were extremely accommodating. Everyone was friendly and the food/drinks arrived quickly. No complaints at all!

We booked a table for a pre-theatre meal on a Saturday as this place was recommended by the Dominion Theatre. I can see why as the food was amazing and the choices were so tempting. You order off the app on the table and the drinks arrive very quickly. Great that you can mix up your street food choices all in one place. It is a very busy place and was noisy with people having fun and the 80’s music we heard was perfect! Will be returning to try all of the other items out on the menu.

Pretentious greeting: we went as tourists and were told "next time book a table". Huffed when we said we didn't want to sit on bar stools and wanted a table instead. Food average and despite asking for extra plates to share they never came. Minimum service with average food.

Really enjoyed our visit. Having the choice of a number of places to eat in one place means everyone was catered. Lots of dishes I wanted to try so will return again!

Went for drinks after dinner. Walked in and ordered at the bar but when we went to sit down, front of house staff came running over and told us that we "can't sit there" and ran off again. As there were no reservation cards on any of the tables and no information about seating procedure, we went to sit at another table. The member of front of house staff shouted over the restaurant saying that we can't sit there either and rolled her eyes at us. She got her manager to come over who rudely told us that we couldn't sit anywhere unless we had a reservation. We stood at the bar for over an hour with our drinks and all of the empty tables stayed empty during that time. Experience with staff was horrendous. We had huffing, eye rolling and raised voices which was shocking. Staff only cared about having a gossip at the front of house. Drinks were nice but awful staff experience meant that we won't be coming back.

Arcade service and food was marcelous Ayoob was very attentive and very caring twards his customers , loved his presence Thank you ayub may allah bless you

Horrible experience. I'm guessing that we did not fit the criteria for the clientele they want. Entered, no greeting, told nothing about the procedure. Found ourselves a grotty table by the toilets. Fiddled around with a qr code to make our order ( limited and expensive menu BTW way) And we waited .. And waited.. And waited Finally a very rude member of staff turns up and tells us " we need this table for customers". What the heck were we? Scotch mist? Never had an experience like this ever, got our belongings and left. Of course we don't recommend this place - especially if you are over 30!

In terms of positives, there was a nice lively vibe about the place and in principle a wide selection of cuisines to choose between. Unfortunately however you could only order via a QR code, which is annoying at the best of time but even more so when it doesn't work properly and would accept my MasterCard credit card for no good reason (Furthermore although there was a wide selection of food court outlets, the choice that each offered was poor). In the end we gave up and ate elsewhere. If only they allowed ordering via some other route I may have got to taste the food, but alas that was not to be. I won't be returning.

Easily the worst 'meal' we have had in UK- cheap enough but portions very small £28 for 2 (no drinks) Small portions were a mercy as the Mexican Banquet consisted of some seriously overcooked but cold nachos and a couple of spoonfuls of something awful on tortillas with a 10cms diameter The veggie banquet was tiny and tasteless Staff were not interested

We visited the Arcade Food Before going to the theatre. We hadn’t booked and the staff at reception were helpful and accommodating. We were quite excited at the atmosphere and the variety of open kitchens. The food itself, however, was disappointing. Each kitchen had only a few dishes. We chose Indonesian and, although the food was quite tasty, it was t anything special, there wasn’t much of it and, even for central London, we found it expensive. It was a shame as we quite liked the venue and the staff were on the ball. We probably wouldn’t return, based on quantity and cost of the food.

We wanted a quick lunch and a warm spot to relax and enjoy a bit of food and drinks. The Arcade Food Hall really surprised us with all the different choices and cousins available. We appreciated the idea of having to order from multiple places and that the food was coming when ready! A big thank you to Antonio and his team for the hospitality, we welcomed us superbly and everyone looked after us beautifully! Well done.

Nice pop in lunch while sightseeing with friends. We all had to try the tacos which were really good and some had Asian food as well. I really loved my non-alcoholic cocktail. It’s different from other food halls because you sit down and then order by phone instead of walking to the different stalls, but that worked without trouble using WiFi. I liked that the menu isn’t too big- easier to choose.

I’ve just returned from dinner at this restaurant. What I’ve seen today is nothing short of ridiculous and unacceptable. There were not one but many mice running across the restaurant. I called the waiter to show them to him and he just smiled. He called out to another waiter who both looked at these mice running across and smiled again. He came back to me to say it’s rather a common sight as the mice come in from the nearby tube station. They’re here most days, regardless of how hard they try to get rid of them. Now this is beyond ridiculous. My daughter was freaking out by this time. Mice running across a restaurant floor cannot be acceptable. What exactly are they giving us to eat in a mice infested restaurant? I feel absolutely sick about eating here tonight. The food tasted great despite the shamefully small menu and the staff was really friendly. I would’ve given a 5 star if I wasn’t feeling disgusted about the hygiene of this restaurant. Shame!

They charge for placing the order, which is ridiculous really. You pay for the atmosphere, not food. I won't recommend if you want food.

Popped in for a quick pre cinema meal. Terrible all round. The system forces you to book via phone so you have no idea how long food is going to take or quality. Not easy to use at all. Tables next to us got served before, we asked twice where our food was and only then did they inform us 30 minutes later that they didn’t have the ingredients for our order. Front of house was incredibly rude when we raised this and we had to argue to get a refund. Did not even offer free drinks as a consolation.

I arrived early and was greeted by Luca who was very accommodating. It was clearly busy in Arcade but he took the time to show me around, explained how the event would work and introduced me to Nandana who would be looking after us. Luca was...

We went here for our work Christmas party. The food was tasty and the staff were amazing. They were so organised a d friendly. It was a great choice

Arcade is a busy and bustling food hall. I have been to a few but this one is the best, with full table service via QR code and online ordering and a great selection of food and drink. Everything comes at different times but is...

Had lunch with family before travelling home from a 2 day break and it was not great and also very poor value! Chinese pork in a bun was poor. Tasteless, tiny, cold and only a few pieces of pork! The 3 Sharawarma wraps were again...

Looks brand new place , variety of food choices and lovely views outside. Food was easy to order via app and had some gluten free choices.Mexican food Portions though were quite tiny. Service was excellent 👌 Just a word of caution while washing hands ⚠️...

Buzzy and busy place! Chaotic on a Friday night. Food quality was good. Pricey for street food (you need at least £30 per person). Melanie (I think that’s her name) was super helpful with making a table change possible - thank you!!

Acoustics awful when busy - cannot talk to be heard. Turned up as a drop in and could barely hear the waiter speaking. Booked out but we had already decided we would not stay due to the noise.

A bit noisy as the place was packed and close seating. Drinks variety was good. Cuisine variety also good but each cuisine has limited dishes . Order at the table and you are served . Service and food quality was good . We enjoyed the...

We visited for the all you can eat "All In" Sunday special which is £25 for 'all you can eat' food for 90mins. You can also add bottomless drinks for £20 however we didn't bother with this. The menu was very limited only offering a...

A very nice and friendly ambient. You can taste dishes from different countries. Their cocktails are stunning. I had the pleasure to meet Bhushan there. He is extremely friendly and helpful. Thumbs up for such a good customer service.

Went with colleagues for a dinner for the first time. Food were really tasty and Bushan was excellent in looking after our table.

This is a really nice place, with lots of different options of food and drinks, it is also pet friendly and this was the reason I came, as I love to eat out but I also have a dog and it is very lovely when...

My friend and I were actually about to walk into another Restaurant until we saw this Restaurant and were intrigued. We walked in and was quite confused at first; we were welcomed and told to sit down and scan the menu as the Waiter suggested....

We dropped by here for dinner as it was in a great location (+1 star). It was quite busy and staff were nowhere to seat us, so we just grabbed a table. Ordered some overpriced and very mediocre food, as well as drinks, all of...

Was curious at the foods in the arcade. Came around in front of this sushi stand where this bald employee explained a few things but noticed he had bad breath. I lost the appetite thereafter, so I left without eating.

We came for a quick pre theatre dinner. Found the app incredibly slow and frustrating. Anti social meeting a friend only to spend the first 10 minutes trying to get Wi-Fi, read the menu and then struggle to place an order. Both of us struggled...

This place gets very busy in the evenings with lots of large groups, so make sure to reserve in advance. Has a good range of food options that you order on an app and everything is delivered to you. Nice spot if you are with...

I remember this space Pre-Covid when the customer walked around ordering items from individual outlets before finding a communal seat. Post-Covid you’re taken immediately to a communal seat and expected to order from an App from one or more of the half dozen or so...

Great lunch here & would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are part of a group who all wish to eat a variety of different types of food. Came here with family, we all order from different outlets, all of our meals arrived at...

Fantastic service from Arcade Food Hall, there were 19 of us so quite a few. Prebooked via email with amazing communication from Erica Paul ( thank you for being so accomodating) food choice is unbelivable, with probably the biggest salad i have ever seen. Staff...

We’ve been to many of this type of food hall. There’s a few in Liverpool as a family, and they are great if you all fancy different things. It was busy, but I think we arrived at the right time just before it got busy....

We visited after a team away day as a group of around 25 people after struggling to decide on where to go and what type of food we'd want. Erica helped to book the venue for us and was very accommodating on times and saved...

If you're on the lookout for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further than this gem of a restaurant! From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by its unique concept that seamlessly blends various cuisines into an unforgettable culinary journey. The first...

Tried to have a few drinks here. Were welcomed by the hostess at the entrance. The music was quite loud. Everything looks good. Only problem was the app to order would not load hence we could not order. Very disappointing.

We loved the order as you go, can get different cuisines concept. But we waited 28mins for one cold teeny "taco" which didn't have the cheese crust we were charged extra for and a micro bao bun, which with drinks cost £40. They kindly replaced...

Decent food but tiny portions, and overpriced even by London standards. Expect to order at least twice and pay on the order of 40 pounds. The place is also very loud, which makes conversation quite difficult.

The atmosphere was buzzing, super busy and great for a large group who could order individually from all the different restaurants. The events team, hosts, security and servers were very friendly, super efficient and accommodating for a large group. Although our table didn't order from...

Fabulous food and excellent service. Convenient central location with a great atmosphere - would highly recommend

Manager was very rude to my young son and I, very rushed , ushered us to the worst seating area. Clearly not a family friendly venue

This is a great place to go for a no fuss yet tasty meal. There is a variety of food to choose from so likely to be something for everyone. As you place one order you don't need consensus on what type of food to...

A trendy, new food hall next door to Tottenham Court Road station. A variety of food stalls, and order through QR-code on the table. The atmosphere is nice, modern and pretty high end for being a food court. Selection was good, but menus weren’t as...

This is a foodhall where you are met at the door and shown to a table. After that it’s down to you to scan your table QR code and order online. Bit of a faff but ok. Problem was, although I paid for my order...

Came here recently with friends for dinner. We were seated relatively quickly. Ordering is via a QR code, and they offer WiFi at the venue. A decent selection of food, though I found it can feel a little limited as a vegetarian. The food is...

Pay no heed to any whiney reviews. We were a gang of 6. Had the best time ever. Great drinks. Great food. Cracking atmosphere. Can't wait to go back there.

Recently visited Arcade Food Hall with a group of pals and we had the most fun!! We have lots of picky eaters in our group but everyone found something delicious to suit their needs. I had the smash burger and have been craving it ever...

Went last week for my birthday with a few pals - great choice of food (not to mention tasty!) and super easy to order. Will be coming back soon!

Nice place in central London. The music was loud enough for me - sth I like so much but not the dj’s choices 😇 .. The order is very convenient as you can choose from different cuisines (mexican, indian, japanese.etc) BUT with poor menus sth...

Fantastic Thai restaurant -- and amazing movie display in the adjacent hall. Service was friendly and prompt.

The waiting staff were very friendly and professional. They made sure we were ok and were apparently seated! There was a small hiccup but the lovely manager called Johnathan sorted it and was very attentive to us the whole dining experience. My favourite from the...

We walked in me and my friends by casualty. I was with my friends trying to find a place to celebrate my birthday and we ended up here. I have to say that was a very good option as we had a great time. Patrikshya...

There was 4 of us here for a friend’s birthday during coronation weekend, we had the most amazing time on Sunday and had to come back on Monday. Even though we had to order online we still had a waiter looking after us and Deano...

This place I would highly not recommended for dining, particularly due to the limited variety of halal cuisine, which I find quite surprising. The few halal dishes available failed to impress in terms of taste. We ordered a pair of burgers, specifically requesting one without...

Dreadful customer service, food running out at 6.45pm before the evening even started. Charged twice for items and when contacting customer service, there was no response. Con job in every sense.

The staff are great here. The place is lovely and fun. The food is pretty good too. But what spoilt it for me is the fact that at 6pm it had ‘sold out’ of all the sensibly priced wine and beer options leaving you with...

QR code menu ordering, small portions, overpriced and poor quality food. Then, to add further insult, a service charge of 12% added ( no option to decline) - there was no service involved! Unfortunately, we had not checked Trip Advisor reviews before entering! We were...

Overpriced place with horrible food. Such a small portion and blend overcooked taste. Unfortunately,can’t recommend this place to anyone. So disappointed experience!

Found this place online after a very busy day sightseeing in London. We liked the idea of a food hall as we usually visit these types of venues around Europe. As we entered, we quickly realised this wasn't like an actual food hall. We were...

Fun concept, lots of delicious food options, easy to order with the free wifi, inviting decor with big windows looking out to the bustling London streets.

This place has a vibrant atmosphere, plenty of food choice and a well stocked bar. The theme is certainly aimed at the younger generations, it is a very loud place to be. Various street food from different countries. All the food we had was perfectly...

You’d think a mad busy food hall attempting to serve hundreds of people ten different types of national cuisine would be a gimmicky flop. You’d be wrong. Every dish - Nepali, Sushi, Middle Eastern, was spot on. And the two managers, Eli and Little John,...

I’m not surprised reading some of these reviews. First impression: the entrance host was too busy to bother with me waiting to be seated. Then was taken to a table that found me and my friend in the middle of busy staff and customers walking...

Large food hall with a variety of food from different specialised food/countries. It's like the food court in a shopping centre except the spaces between tables were narrow just enough space to walk to each table but close enough to hear conversation from next table...

Quick seat. Food delivered in minutes. Friendly staff. Love it. Sat down in the pool area. Arcade games are an excellent idea to make kids busy. Weekends are very busy. The price is high but it's Oxford street so it's expected. Fantastic bar team.

Came here recently with friends for lunch. It was really busy, but we were seated quickly. The menu is via QR code - internet is patchy, but they have free WiFi so that's not a problem. Last time I came, the menu was divided by...

Lovely staff and food. Especially the lovely manager from New Zealand. Appp was a bit fiddly tonuse but staff helped and food was great

This place looks fun for the outside; lots of street food stands and a buzzy atmosphere. The reality though is a totally soulless environment, QR code ordering, so pretty much no service or interaction at all (doesn’t stop the automatic service charge), decent food but...

Poor value for money-Had the omakase meal here on 7/2. It a different style Japanese- beautiful piece of fresh fish but small and there did not quench our appetites. The dishes which was about 8 was good bite size piece and definitely a 5/5 for...

A group of four friends on a Tuesday early evening reservation. The food (Tipan Tapan Thali and Crispy smashed duck leg) was nice enough, although I did not like the lamb choila, but that’s my own preference. The squid tarako, on the other hand, was...

We have been to Arcade Hall several times since it reopened after covid, but tonight’s experience was shocking. The host, John, was one of the rudest hosts we have ever experienced at Arcade Hall. He gave us a table for an hour which was fine...

Totally bemused by the popularity of this place, was in the area and needed a bite to eat and was tempted by the lure of this being a "Food Hall". We were greeted well enough and sat down at a tiny table (they are all...

This is not a food hall from what I know. Limited choice. Overpriced (£18.50 for a lemonade full with loads of ice cubes and a starter-like meal) It’s just like any other restaurant. Very disappointing.

I booked table for my birthday dinner before going to theatre across the street. We were told the only way to order and pay is through the app, which is not specfied on the website, which i know of. We tried to order numerous times...

I think in its first inception, this place offered pop ups of successful new London restaurants. This is no longer the case. I ordered a butter chicken burger from Hero but the sauce had undertones of chip shop curry and I could not taste the...

Our first time visit to Arcade. We absolutely loved it. There are so many different Asian and South American food influences. We tried several different types. Everything super tasty and we were absolutely stuffed after spending only around £40 between 2 of us on food....

This place was heaving, loud, and dynamic but the food was poor and service was poor. Think of this like having a takeaway with your mates but for three times the price. It's not a restaurant experience despite having a menu and table service. The...

Food was really bad and very expensive, don't go there. When finishing your meal it stood there for over an hour before they took it away. No service at all, but still paying 10% service fee on every order. TERRIBLE

Great atmosphere with lovely food. The different choices on offer made it a great experience and the food came quick and was delicious

Hi tech food court featuring various international cuisines mostly from eastern countries. You order through a mobile phone and have to provide your email address and your age while paying through a credit card. Then the food is delivered to your table. Despite the hype...

Ordering on your phone is a faff, food took ages, way over priced and stingy portions. Charge you £3.50 for a mini can of coke. When my burger finally arrived it tasted horrid. Was 90% breadcrumbs/batter and 10% chicken. The only positive was it was...

Good location and concept. We ordered a variety of dishes from the different establishments. We sat there as the food arrived and we couldn’t stop laughing as to how was it possible for anyone to produce such shockingly poor food which such consistency across different...

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was buzzing. All ordering is done on your phone, was not too bad but have to register for an account etc. They should have built an app to make it quicker. However, the high tables are all so...

Don’t let the other reviews deter you. We were unsure going here due to the previous reviews. However we had an event at HERE @ Outernet and Arcade was in such a convenient location that we had to give it a go. I’m so glad...

Very average, I wouldn’t recommend Arcade at all. The reason you go to a place like this is you want a variety of good food. Problem is the food isn’t great, service is very average. 10% charge is added to you bill when you order...

I had booked a table for 4, but we were sat in a back area squeezed in by a pool table - so when a group of lads came to play a game it kinda ruined the atmosphere. Ducking and shifting to avoid taking a...

Average place, but the con is that they force you to order via your phone, and then whack an in-optional service charge on every single order. This could be one drink. I ordered from the bar to avoid this and was told by a rude...

I don't even know where to start but to sum it up best I can we arrived at 7:30, a good time for our table. We were left waiting for a while then directed to the bar and told to wait there - table would...

Anything but “quick bites”. We couldn’t get seated for a reservation we had, so were told to go and wait at the bar. We were promptly told by another member of staff that we were in the way, explained that we had been told to...
