6 Out Of 6 Stars

Banging! Every Mezze Option we got was sooo delicious! Our order which we recommend. 5 mezze plates was enough for 2.

Arayes - bread with mince inside. Wow.
Oyster wings - fake oyster with delicious sauce.
Charred Cabbage - DO NOT SKIP. THE PARSNIP HUMMUS IS TASTY
Sweet potato - the dip omg. Also not optional to not order.
Doner bao bun.

Also. You must try the new Fondant dessert. Life changing.

OMG!

We tried 3 mezze options first with some garlic fries, harissa bread and it was so nice we ordered 3 more mezze dishes. All so different in flavours and all amazing. We loved them all.
Staff are super friendly and helpful (special mention Trinity).
New favourite restaurant!

Pros: Choice, Flavours , Portion size.

Great mezze

As a “lone diner” some places can be unwelcoming, not Koocha!
Great service, great food, great beer… what more could you need?!

Pros: All vegan, no hunting for options , Friendly staff, Really good food

Phenomenal food and cocktails

You can't miss this place if you're in Bristol, one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. The cocktails were great, as was the donner

Completely deserves its high ratings.

It’s easy to get a bit jaded at mezze/ Middle Eastern options in the UK as a vegan, simply because there’s only so much falafel and humus one can eat.

This place, however, is amazing. They have a number of dishes that are rare to find. The owner is of Persian descent and has veganised classic dishes. The food is wonderful and I can’t wait to go back on my next trip to Bristol. Excellent service by all staff and shout out to Rosie.

You’ll not be disappointed

I’ve visited Koocha a few times and I’ve never been disappointed.

Good sized menu. Everything is delicious and fresh.

Staff are helpful.

Do book a table in advance as they are often fully booked.

Pros: Great menu, Delicious food, Friendly staff

Cons: Can’t always get a table

Consistently great food.

This latest visit to Koocha Mezze Bar might well have been visit number 15 and counting.

The food is consistently great, which is a tribute to both the management and the kitchen staff.

Highlights include;
The ever epic artichoke dip,
The Arayes,
The Oyster mushroom wings,
The Batatas Harissa.

A vegan stalwart of a restaurant 🌱

Pros: Full vegan

Plant-based feast that actually fills you up

Popped into Koocha for a late lunch and left very happy. We started with the Artichoke Dip — herby, garlicky and super moreish (pomegranate). Then split the Koocha burger with fries (extremely tasty and juicy) and the Mixed Grill, which had a good mix of kebabs and extras and worked perfectly for sharing. Craft beers on the table — Good Chemistry's Pure Optimism and Bristol Beer Factory's Laser Juice — played nicely with the food. Portions are generous and made for sharing; value felt fair for the size. Service was relaxed and friendly without hovering, music at a comfortable level, room felt welcoming. Would come back with friends and order the same lineup.

Pros: Generous portions, Tasty vegan skewers + warm flatbread, Artichoke dip is a standout

Cons: Would serve the fries a touch hotter but ok

I've been loving Koocha for years only to realise I haven't rated this OG Bristol vegan mezze institution yet.

Genuinely amazing food

My wife has been raving about this place ever since she visited with friends over a year ago. We decided to detour and grab lunch on a trip from Wales to Southampton and, honestly, believe the hype.

We shared a mixed grill and loaded fried. The flavours were incredible. The chicken and lamb kebab skewers were surprisingly meaty and very well seasoned.

We’re definitely going to head back at the earliest opportunity to try the mezze. Can’t wait!

Wow!!!!

What a find, this is why I love Happy Cow ♥️

The food is too good to be true, I had the Koocha Kebab and chips followed by the Baklava that was recommended by my server.

The problem is now I've had it I want it all the time, shame I live so far away.

But, I will be back.

"I didn't know vegan food could taste this good!"

I took my omnivorous partner here and her reaction was "I didn't know vegan food could taste this good!". I definitely recommend getting a few of the small plates as there's such a wide variety. Don't worry if you order too many. They'll still be good for leftovers the next day. ;)

Pros: Variety of dishes, Taste

Always satisfied

Genuinely gorrrgeous food. Pretty pricey but worth it & great portion sizes. Do NOT skip the hummus. It’s staggeringly great
