Bunga Bunga (Bunga 90) — Covent Garden's pizza, karaoke & cabaret lair

What the space feels like

Bunga Bunga occupies a multi-room basement set-piece that trades subtlety for spectacle: a dim, theatrical interior broken into themed zones where neon, mirrored surfaces and kitsch 90s ephemera collide. The central room is dominated by a low stage and dancing floor patched with banquet seating designed for sharing—expect metre‑long pizzas, long cocktail pitchers and theatrical service delivered with showman flair.

Food, drink and theatrical menus

The menu leans heavily on Italian comfort dishes adapted for groups: large-format pizzas, share plates of antipasti and simple pasta and finger-food sides intended to be eaten between performances. The drinks list is equally performative, with themed cocktails served in playful vessels and sharing cocktails for tables. The focus is on festive, convivial dining rather than formal tasting menus.

Entertainment and programmes

Entertainment is integral: DJ sets, live vocalists, aerialists, cabaret acts and organised karaoke moments punctuate the evening. On weekend matinees and special brunch sessions the venue often stages circus or variety acts alongside flowing Prosecco; later nights lean into karaoke, communal dance routines and audience participation where staff and performers blur the line between service and show.

Design details and hidden surprises

Part of the venue’s charm is the theatrical route of arrival—past a themed front space into a hidden basement—and the deliberately playful touches throughout: arcade machines, private karaoke rooms, and novelty features such as an immersive bathroom lobby and themed backdrops. Lighting is dramatic and changeable, turning informal dining into an immersive late-night playground.

Who comes here and when it suits

The atmosphere suits loud celebrations: hen/stag parties, birthday groups, friends seeking an energetic night out and anyone drawn to immersive nostalgia and kitsch. Weekends are busiest and most theatrical; midweek events are possible but often programmed as private-hire or themed nights. The venue is not designed for quiet conversation or formal dining.

Practical character and accessibility notes

Although the ground-floor façade and bar give the impression of a casual pizzeria, the main experience lives downstairs in a multi-level basement with steps and theatrical entrances. Tables are arranged for groups, so small solo visits can feel out of sync with the communal format. Service is theatrical and brisk, and the layout prioritises atmosphere over intimate privacy.
