Loka Lounge is a Mediterranean and Lebanese restaurant on Gloucester Road in South Kensington. Its long daily service brings together breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed lounge setting close to the museums and Gloucester Road station. The menu combines familiar brunch dishes with mezze, grills and comforting main courses, giving visitors plenty of choice at different times of day.
Breakfast ranges from pancakes, granola and porridge to avocado toast, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and a full English plate made with turkey bacon and merguez sausages. Shakshouka offers eggs with peppers and onions on flatbread, while a Lebanese breakfast combines falafel, hummus, moutabel, halloumi and broad beans. Fresh juice, smoothies, coffee and tea complete the morning selection.
Cold and hot starters are well suited to sharing. Hummus, moutabel, tzatziki, tabouleh, vine leaves and Greek salad sit alongside falafel, grilled halloumi, kibbeh, chicken wings and calamari. Grilled chicken and lamb skewers, baby chicken, lamb meatballs, cutlets, steak, king prawns and sea bass provide substantial choices, with rice, salad, spicy potatoes and fresh bread available on the side.
The menu also includes pasta, freekeh risotto and wraps filled with chicken, lamb, falafel or halloumi. Vegetarian diners can build a varied meal from dips, salads, falafel, vegetables and plant based mains rather than relying on a single token dish. Mahalabia, baklava, seasonal fruit and ice cream bring a sweet finish, while mocktails and hot drinks suit a leisurely evening without alcohol.
