Amazing food!

We walked a very long way to get to this place - and we weren't disappointed!

Mezze portions are very generous, flavours were great and the food was really creative.

Staff were really friendly too.

Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing

Such a vibrant and funky restaurant with friendly and knowledgeable staff.
So lovely to be able to eat in a fully vegan place with such tasty food.
Everything was seriously yummy and my husband stated that it was the best vegan food he had eaten since becoming vegan 4 years ago.
Would highly recommend and will definitely be back for more.

Pros: The staff were brilliant., Food was seriously tasty., The vibe of the restaurant.

Cons: None

A great range of inventive and delicious dishes. 3 dishes per person is plenty of food.

Best vegan restaurant in Bristol?

Koocha is good. It's really really good. If you do 3 mezze per person (£18 each) you get loads of utterly delicious food and it's reasonably priced too.
I went here with a coeliac friend and they were wonderfully accommodating, making substitutions and recommendations as needed. Every time I go here it's excellent. Highly recommend.

Stunning food

Koocha mezze bar wow.
This place has such a reputation and it definitely lived up to it!
We choose:
-Oyster wings (something I was most excited for)
-Batata Harra (Incredible, mouthwatering, 100/10)
-Spiced cauliflower (So so delicious and the borani it sat on was to die for)
-Sweetcorn fritters (Jake’s favourite)
-Baba ghanoush (My first time trying baba ghanoush but wow, I am now a convert. Stunning)
-Pomegranate cheesecake (We took this to go)

I was super impressed with every single dish, however, if the oyster mushrooms were a little more cooked inside I would have said every dish was 100% perfect!

Pros: Stunning baba ghanoush , Amazing flavours

Cons: Oyster wings a little underdone

Delightful experience

Gorgeously authentic and kind staff, supremely tasty mezze dishes (big portions, so be mindful when ordering) splendid cocktails and cheesecake, tastefully decorated. Thank you.

Pros: Flavours were outstanding in each dish, Top4: spiced cauli, beetroot borani, kookoo, wing, Cheesecake quality was outrageously good

Cons: Tiny bit too much mayo on a couple of dishes

Fab food for all the family

Had a fab family gathering at Koocha and the food did not disappoint! I went for an assortment of small plates while my family chose the kebab style mains, great reviews all round!

Fantastic!

We had a selection of mezze - all delicious. I particularly recommend the spiced potatoes, okra fries, and spinach chickpea braise!
It’s a nice little place with two floors and a pretty mural on the exterior.

Edit August 2023: still delicious! They had slightly fewer mezze options and pure ‘hummus’ and ‘falafel’ were no longer on the menu, but everything was still amazing.

As good as I remember

It's been too long since I have visited Koocha - the first time at the Cheltenham Rd premises. Was not disappointed and standard of dishes has not dropped. Plenty of choice and good portions offered. Restaurant was quite busy and mains took some time getting to us but well worth the wait. It shows Koocha offers a winning formula. Our group of 4 all enthused over our chosen dishes which was considered value for money. Glad we booked in advance.

Pros: Good portions of tasty food, Attentive staff, Value for money

Cons: Bit of a wait for food but worth the wait

Excellent

Loads of choice including both healthy and naughty options. The mezze style means you can try a few different things - I liked everything I ordered!

Incredible place

Great food in such a lovely looking restaurant. I had the crispy oyster mushrooms, corn ribs and the kebab meat loaded fries which I highly recommend. However the chicken burger here is very average so be careful with what you order.

Pros: So many great options on menu it’s hard to pick , Interesting food you don’t get anywhere else , Pretty and colourful building outside and inside

Eat here

Really great restaurant with a big selection of dishes and friendly staff. Basically tried most of the mezze dishes and there wasn't a single one that wasn't delicious. Will definitely be back here any time we're in Bristol!

Pros: Vegan, Awesome selection

Cons: They haven't opened a restaurant in London

Soo good!!

Main reason we chose Koocha mezze bar was because it was open relatively late but I’m so glad we went! We tried various mezze, the Kebabi fries and the Shish kebab. Everything was delicious! My favourites were the oyster mushrooms and the artichoke dip. Dessert was fantastic too!

Can’t wait to go back

It was so difficult to choose what to eat because everything looked amazing! I got the kebabi fries and they were so filling that I couldn’t finish them. Tried my partner’s scrambled ackee and it was the most realistic egg substitute I’ve ever had. So sad I didn’t have room for dessert!

Delicious food in a cute decor

I went there with a friend and I loved all the dishes we shared! Everything was delicious, colourful, and very nicely presented.
We had the melt-in-your-mouth skewers on flatbread, the sweet corn fritters (tender inside with crunchy edges, great flavours), and the tzatziki (very fresh and delicious).
My friend also tried the baklava which she enjoyed a lot.

The Best!

Koocha has some of the best vegan food I have ever eaten. They have an incredible amount of choice, regularly updated their menu and everything always tastes fresh and amazing.
I particularly love:
- Their ‘Kookoo’ - my fav dish, spinach and creamy goodness.
- Breakfast and breakfast kebab. Ideal brunch food, filling but in a super satisfying way.
- The dirty fries are ideal if you want to pig out, great as a sharer.
- Mezze wise honestly everything is good. I recommend if you get a dip or two to get bread. Recommend the harissa.

amazing food, staff are always lovely, nice cocktails and well priced for what you get!

Pros: Food made with lush ingredients , Lovely atmosphere, chill and pretty, Kookoo is phenomenal

Cons: Book in advance! Not a con but it is always full
