We visited on a Sunday and had the delicious roast! Drinks were so well presented and food was delicious. Staff are so accommodating. A MUST visit!

food and shisha was great, got served by barbor

The waiter name Babor was very helpful and patient with us as we were very unsure about the food and help us with the menu I would recommend this place and be coming back agin

Went on a Monday evening and it was such a nice chill vibe. The drinks were rich and sweet. The lamb was succulent and the calamari was sweet and sour. Babies looked after us really well, customer service was excellent.

Birthday celebration lunch with the family we were served by Jamal who made the experience very enjoyable and memorable all the dishes were excellent while presented and tasty ambience first class luxurious friendly comfortable

This restaurant is the best I have ever been too. Jamal gave us excellent experience with fast and efficient service. Can definitely recommend this restaurant, 10/10!

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food. Babor was great

Today I visited Coco Asia with my family, but unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Right from the entrance, the attitude of the staff was shockingly unwelcoming. The man standing at the door seemed more focused on repeating the price per person £25 rather than offering any kind of hospitality. Even after I confirmed that I was booking a table for four, he continued to reiterate, “It’s £100 in total,” as if I hadn’t understood the first time. The way he kept emphasizing the charge made me feel more like I was dealing with a bouncer at a club rather than a host at what’s supposed to be a fine dining establishment. Honestly, it left me confused, was I there for a premium dining experience, or was I just being asked for money upfront with no context or courtesy? This kind of behavior completely ruined the mood, and I didn’t feel valued as a guest at all. Definitely not what I expected from a place with such a reputation.

Had an amazing time with my family for Mother’s Day and the waiter Shihab was lovely, attentive and so catering to our needs. He took his time to understand what we wanted and delivered! Food was great as usual and a great DJ this night also. Will be back😊🥰

Shisha and food was great. Babor was great as a server!

Amazing service and babor was great, May Allah bless you all.

Nice place , grills was overcooked

Good place for shisha and lovely server named babor, milkshake was delicious and service was fast and attentive. Although the food is very overpriced for what it is, i got wedges which claimed to be truffle parmesan but there was 0 truffle to be tasted, and the bao bun had a cool dry ice smoke effect but was just 1 small bao bun which was £13 which tasted just okay. Other than overpriced mediocre food, yum shisha, cute decor and vibes and nice service

Great service, food and drink was nice. Staff was very helpful with suggestions for shisha options. Our sever Babor was great

Great atmosphere, and service from Sahir.

Great service by Jamal, he made us feel very welcome. Caring and delivered. Keep it up guys

Minhaj excellent service 🔥🔥I have been five times now

Babor gave great excellent service and the food was brilliant. Would highly recommend and come back

Great food, even better shisha and an even better service by Babor!! Highly recommend!!

Jamal's service was excellent. The music was a bit loud.

Ive been there multiple times - luxurious, yummy food, excellent service - I was served by Babor who was quick and cotreous. Will definitely come back.

Yummy food and mocktails + good shisha. Great service from Babor! Will be back ☺️

Great vibe and top service from babor. I would come back

I recently had the pleasure of dining at coco Asia , and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, catering to different tastes, and the food was nothing short of exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the evening special was the outstanding service from Jamal. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He offered excellent recommendations and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect. His professionalism and warm personality made us feel truly valued as guests. If you’re looking for a restaurant with delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service, I highly recommend coco Asia And if you have the chance, ask for Jamal—he’ll make your dining experience even more memorable!

Would highly recommend. Lovely Sunday roast. Shout out to our waiter Babor who looked after us!

Absolutely fabulous service. Thank you to Tanjim and the wonderful team at Coco Asia. Team managed to organise a special Birthday plate upon request of dessert for my Husband and great Shisha with Moroccan Tea. Very cosy, warm, welcoming atmosphere with a great smile. Will be back always ☺️💯

Great service, great atmosphere 100% recommend it to everyone.

The food here was amazing and couldn’t fault one bit tbh… The service from Tanjim was excellent and he made us feel extra welcome with his recommendations. Will definitely be coming back!

Babor from Coco Asia Lakeside was amazing! I haven’t had such good customer service in a while! Thank you

Babor was very helpful and super kind i’m coming back here for sure i love it

Brilliant service from Sahir, brilliant food and great vibes all round. Would recommend

Imran provided a professional, friendly service. He ensured we were happy with our meals and drinks.

Imran, my server, was very friendly and welcoming, service was great and quick, amazing food and atmosphere!!

Tried out Coco Asia with friends and went for the £35 fixed price brunch menu. The waiters were generally very nice and helpful. A couple of things bugged me about the visit. There were bottomless alcohol free mojitos included as part of the menu but I don't like mint and when we asked for some tap water we were told they don't provide this. We were a little baffled as we thought it's illegal to refuse to provide tap water. A few minutes later however a waiter came out with a bottle of water for us and said it was on the house. This was appreciated but the confusion really could have been avoided. I was not a fan of their cheesecake as to me it wasn't proper cheesecake. The consistency was too creamy. You could blow open a whole debate on what should the perfect cheesecake be like. I suggest that the staff do a bit more research on this. Head over to any of the well known supermarkets and check out what they call cheesecake. You will soon understand what I mean. Finally, after we paid the bill we were getting up to go and some of my friends needed the toilet. While we were waiting, the staff were a bit pushy to try and clear the table... rushing us out. Aside from those points, it was a nice meal out. The starter and main that I had were very tasty. Would I go again? Depends how they respond to my review.

Babor gave amazing service. He catered to me very well and made me feel welcome. Would definitely come back here.

Served by Tanjim food and service was 10/10 must come again

We had a lovely time! Service was 10/10 and Sahir and Tanjim and Shishab made sure of that !

Great service. I had a really good time all thanks to Babor. He really made sure I was comfortable and catered for 👍🏾👍🏾

Jamal gave us a very good service. Enjoyed it

Jamal was very friendly and helped make a birthday dinner even more special.

Jamal was my waiter very good service and overall a very pleasant experience

Babor was very helpfull really made my evining with my mrs reallly well looked after !!!

Great service from Barbor! Attentive, friendly, and made our meal even better. We’ll definitely be coming back and hoping to be served by Barbor again!

I had amazing service. They were very helpful and the experience was amazing. Babor was an amazing waiter!

Hogan gave us an exceptional service and the food was outstanding. Would 100% recommend

Great food and bottomless brunch

The duck salad was interesting...didn't use seedless oranges and not keen on the sauce. The lamb was nice, it didn't fall off the bone but pleasant. The atmosphere was nice and the decor was stunning.

Babor gave us amazing service was very helpful and efficient will be back

Babor's service was great, he was very attentive, he kept us updated and checked on us regularly, the music was amazing and so was the food I will definitely come back again

Beautiful ambience food and service was perfect.

Imran was super friendly and recommended some of the most delicious foods.

Great ambience food worth every penny. Staff are very friendly and helpful.They also decorated it so beautifully for valentines day. If you looking for great food and 5* service go to Coco Asia without hesitation. All i can say management does care for their customers that is why they are very busy. Highly recommended

Minhaj did an amazing job at lakeside

Great customer service. Food was great and place too. Definitely worth staff are helpful.

Friendly people always available to help you. Best place with top class service and food.

Great food, fast and friendly service ambience was wonderful .

Jamal's service was impeccable.

Third consecutive visit to Coco Asia. Experience is same as usual Great hospitality by the team. Iftar was amazing they provided water and fruit plater for break our fast.

Had a great experience staff was really friendly especially our waiter of the night Jamal , he kept on checking on us and making sure we had a splendid time

The food was amazing i really loved every bit of it.I loved the service Jamal made me feel at home and special, will definitely come back and recommend this beautiful place.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Coco Asia was truly disappointing. The food was average at best—nothing special, certainly not worth going out of your way for. However, what really ruined the evening was the shockingly poor service. The waiter was incredibly unfriendly, barely acknowledging us, and at times, literally throwing cutlery and dishes onto the table. To make matters worse, they outright refused to provide tap water, which is not only bad service but also questionable practice. The entire experience felt uncomfortable, as if we were unwelcome guests rather than paying customers. With so many great dining options around, I wouldn’t recommend wasting time or money here. A restaurant should be more than just food—it’s about hospitality, and sadly, Coco Asia failed on all fronts.

Food was okay, service was poor. Not one waiter smiled or made us feel welcome. The lady at the door was the nicest person in the restaurant. Wouldn’t return.

Very was very Delicious meals and very friendly staff. Especially the guy who served us Babor, he was an absolute gem

This place was fantastic love the vibe love the food, the food was really good definitely worth the price and shout out to Babor for the service he was on point 👍🏾🔥

Babor was a great server. Food was good and service was great as well.

i had a great time at this restaurant! the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was very good. Babor was our waiter and he was so kind and friendly.

Amazing design and interior, easy to park and get to, situated right next to the lake. Food presentation is excellent Staff interaction and service is also excellent One negative is blasting loud music to the point where I can’t even have a conversation with my wife without shouting 😅. (Too loud) I personally probably wouldn’t go again , but I know my wife will make me 😆

Jamal was very helpful and food was great

Babor Minhaj both served us and they were amazing ! Would definitely recommend.

Babor Provided fantastic service, really recommend!

Had a lovely birthday dinner at Coco Asia! I was so impressed with the service especially our waiter Manni who really topped off our whole experience here! Great customer service Highly recommend this place and would definitely visit again.

I recently visited Coco Asia Lakeside with my friends, and it was an amazing experience! The food was really nice, offering a great variety of delicious dishes that satisfied everyone's taste. The Shisha was also top-notch, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional service. A special shoutout to our waiter, Babor, who took great care of us throughout the evening. His attentiveness and friendly attitude made our time there even more enjoyable.

Served by Tanjim decor, lighting, and overall vibe was too good Service quality is superb the staff are very friendly and attentive will come again 5/5 ❤️

Great service and atmosphere! The food was great. Thank you Baror !

Food was actually really nice. Very tasty. But they refused to give us tap water and then charged 4.50 a bottle for still water. Tap water is a basic requirement. Poor from Coco Asia.

Manni was amazing person he is so humble and nice he deserves to be promoted that why we are always visiting sheesha is amzing

Amazing atmosphere, food even better but star of the show by far was Barbor, our server humour on point, recommendations everything top notch couldn’t be happier such a great experience :)

I came to this restaurant "Coco Asia" for the first time for my birthday and I was surprised with the great costumer service I received. The staff are so polite, kind and patient. They made my night special and I felt so happy. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. Great place for pictures and romantic date or family bonding time. I highly recommend this place and I will be back again. Thanks to Jamal! I came to Coco Asia again for my daughter's birthday, I must say that the customer service was amazing and they are very flexible and friendly. Thank you to our waiter who attended to us Mr Imran.

Honstly minhaz look aftered us today he was so Amazing a kind soul thank you so much for your service.

expensive as the portions are too small, and the waiters are a disaster, he brought me a receipt with a 15% service charge, and I gave him 10% anyway, he didn't even say thank you, he just left offended, I will never set foot there again

Excellent service from Babor making me feel welcome.

First time visiting Coco-asia at Lakeside Food incredible Staff polite and professional Good music good atmosphere 10/10 100% will be coming back worth every penny Imran was amazing perfection

Only complaint was how long and how loud the robot kept singing happy birthday

My first time here and we loved it. Jamal was so accommodating and helpful when I needed to change seats for comfort. Food was great and loved the atmosphere.

Jamal offered us great service and the food was really good.

had an absolutely fantastic experience at Coco Asia! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the elegant ambiance and stunning waterside views. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The food was exceptional—every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The Pan-Asian menu offers a great variety of options, and everything I tried was cooked to perfection. The sushi was fresh, the dim sum was delicious, and the mains were full of bold, authentic flavors. The service was impeccable—the staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. One of the highlights was the live entertainment on the weekend, which made the evening even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy great food, and have a fun night out. I highly recommend Coco Asia to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Lakeside Shopping Centre. I can’t wait to come back again!

Food delicious. Amazing service. Beautiful and stylish place...

Jamal relly good service the food was amazing hand a good experience

Jamal. His a very good service. He was nice and polite and friendly. He was smile and great customer service

A Hidden Gem in Lakeside✨ Coco Asia is hands down one of the best Pan-Asian restaurants I’ve been to! The location is perfect, with beautiful waterside views that create a relaxing and upscale atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and the service remained outstanding throughout the night. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and beautifully plated dishes. The sushi was top-quality, the curries were rich and flavorful, and the dim sum was some of the best I’ve had. The cocktails were also amazing, perfectly mixed and full of unique flavors. What made the experience even better was the live entertainment on the weekend, adding a vibrant and lively touch to the evening. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or just a great meal, Coco Asia is the place to go! I’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommended!
