There is blessing in eating together. The Companions said: “O Messenger of Allah, we eat but are not satisfied.” He ﷺ said: “Perhaps you eat separately? Gather over your food and mention Allah's name over it, and it will be blessed for you.” (Abū Dāwūd & Ibn Mājah — ḥasan).

العربية: عن وحشيّ بن حرب رضي الله عنه أنّ أصحاب النبيّ ﷺ قالوا: يا رسول الله إنّا نأكل ولا نشبع، قال: «فلعلكم تفترقون؟» قالوا: نعم، قال: «فاجتمعوا على طعامكم واذكروا اسم الله عليه يُبارَك لكم فيه». (أبو داود وابن ماجه).

Eat with family and guests around one dish, begin with Bismillāh — and the meal is blessed.
