I have been to soomany African restaurants in Medway/Kent area but I have to say when it comes down to quality of food and taste then arena lounge is on top! The food is clean and extremely tasty. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I can’t fault it, this food will make your tummy smile

I came from Maryland (USA) to visit my Cousin that stay in Chatham (UK). He brought me to this place called Arena lounge (African Restaurant). I was really impressed with the staff hospitality, clean environment. I was served Nkwobi. Honestly, the food was super, delicious and cheap to afford. Anytime I will always recommend this place for tourists to place.

This place needs to be investigated by the Food Standard Agency. They served me an African dish (ISE EWU) that requires you to be given a washing hand bowl with hand soap before and after eating. When I asked for the bowl to wash my hands the owner of the venue said they don't serve it with washing hand water and asked me to walk about 30 meters to the back room walking through people to wash my hands. I was so shocked and I refused to eat there as I found it so irritating and disgusting. The owner was so rude and lacked customer service. The waitress was also surprised by the way he spoke to me and his handling of the situation.

We went on a weekday for a birthday celebration I just happened to google Nigerian resturants in Chatham and Arena came up. Let's start off with the decor and ambience. Perfect . The staff absolutely amazing couldn't do enough for us. Accommodated all our needs without being to over bearing. We didn't feel rushed we were definitely welcomed. We literally had the run of the place. It was clean, tidy, and the food was on point. Proper nigerian food with the full taste that is always appreciated. I couldn't fault it. Next stop will be experiencing a weekend with the DJ/Live band....I've been warned to book before hand....Well done A rena lounge and congratulations on your establishment. You will definitely see me soon!!!!!

An hours wait for the grilled fish, as all food prepared fresh. That was communicated when we placed the order. Much better to place your order before you get there, so as to avoid the wait. Very good DJ. Dont go on Friday night if you want a quiet night. Food is quite tasty. Very attentive staff from door man to the owner of the place Dietary restrictions: There is a poster asking customers to let them know of any dietary requirements. Waiters happy to discuss what you order Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor

The first time I ordered here this evening for dinner, I have tried many restaurants in the area that sell African cuisine, and this one by far was the best! The plantain was lovely and sweet, the jollof, chicken and tomato stew was incredible! I am speechless! Will defo be returning! Thank you so much! The lady who served me was friendly, welcoming and kind too
