Whether it's a birthday dinner, an anniversary, a get-together that's been in the diary for weeks or a spontaneous Friday night in Dalston, booking a table at Rao's takes less than a minute online. For special occasions and group celebrations, we go a step further reserved areas, bespoke catering menus and the kind of attentive service that makes an evening feel properly looked after from the moment your group arrives. Rao's is one of Hackney's most popular restaurants for private dining, birthday parties and end-of-year celebrations, and our events space handles intimate dinners and larger gatherings equally well. If you're planning something worth celebrating in East London, this is a good place to do it.
