Koocha Mezze Bar in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

FANTASTIC food, never knew vegan food could be so absolutely delicious - always thought of it as "worthy" - I'm now totally converted

Very nice food! A good variety on the menu and the oyster wings were a stand out dish! Lovely seeing more vegan places thriving!

Me and my partner had a lovely date here. The food is top notch! I've recommended to friends and family. Our favourite Mezze was the Koo-Koo. We had a tahini brownie for dessert (which was a first), it's a sesame seed paste. Oh, the mocktails were AMAZING too, we had the eastern breeze and a watermelon mojito. 2 large dishes and 2 mezze was plenty for 2 people. We shall be back on occassion, no doubt 🙂 Thankyou, Glen & Izzy

Tasty food and friendly service. We sampled the mezze menu and finished off with cheesecake. All delicious.

We came in quite late, when the kitchen literally just shut, but a waiter called Otto asked the kitchen if it’s possible for us to order real quick. They were so kind to let us order and chef Chelsea whipped up an incredible dinner for us. The mezze was divine and the kebabs so realistically meaty it was unbelievable. We also had mocktails made by bartender Chelsea and they were amazing. The entire atmosphere was very nice and cozy and all the staff incredibly friendly. 100/10 will be returning

Such amazing food and service! we were looked after so well by rosie, immy and otto with the amazing recommendation of the artichoke dip! thank you to everyone at koocha for an amazing night❤️definitely will come again!

Take no notice of the last couple of reviews…first time here and absolutely stunning 🤩…the flavours, textures and freshness were incredible! Waiting staff were attentive and on point…I’m not a vegan but would 100% eat here again!!!

A great place to share dishes with friends. They were very helpful in finding a lot of choices which did not have onions. It is great to have all the vegetarian choices.

So I went to this restaurant yesterday and food was amazing BUT we were shocked to notice a few things. 1 - The girl who was making the drinks was not wearing apron and when she was making drinks she was constantly wiping her hands from her pants and touching glasses and spoons and lemons etc with those same hands. 2 - Another girl who was cooking was scratching her neck and hair sometimes as it was hectic and may be she was stressed but same hands was used to touch the food people were consuming. 3 - no one in the kitchen or outside wore a head cap. To be honest I don't know how you guys have 5 starts in hygiene. 4 - The person taking orders went for a smoke break twice which is fine but during that time no body was there for any support. Again he did not go wash hands. This time we got served with those hands. So this is serious guys. You can't be so ignorant and serve people just anything. You have to take care of basic hygiene. There are old people, pregnant ladies and so many other kinds of people that can not afford to get sick but they can if they eat here. I did not have the guts to speak to anyone regarding these points there because I was embarrassed to say them out loud but I felt it was imp to share. The rest of the points are fine as they were understaffed and food took forever to arrive but all that can be ignored if the food is good. Lastly quantity - I ordered oyestor mushrooms wings. I got 4 small pieces. Now this place is a lil pricy I would have at least expect a 6 pieces. So lots of scope of improvement

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to! Friendly staff, service was quick and food was incredible! Looking forward to going back!

Updated 20/07/24 - came again and had a delicious selection of food , friendly staff . more pics added. ** Previous review ** Visited for a family get together , initially quite slow with the drinks service and not all drinks came out together as a couple had been missed off the order BUT eventually resolved , the food was amazing and the cocktails were so good , if i lived in Bristol this place would be a regular visit , staff were friendly - recommended !

Was served by the very charming francesco, everything was delicious and would definitely reccomend the feta, artichoke dip, and sweet potato samosa

Was a great experience and a lovely meal.

We were served by Nicole. Amazing service, very friendly and very talkative, the mezzes very tasty and packed with flavour and overall a great and enjoyable experience, would absolutely recommend to others.

Amazing place, for vegan food lovers. Even meat-eaters will love the food. Highly recommend:)

What a great place... fabulous food, relaxed vibe, knowledgeable and friendly staff and wonderful cocktails too. The mezze is amazing.. delicious plates of yummy vegan food. We had 4 plates and some bread between us, and enjoyed a cocktail to start. For desert, the 'cheesecake was sublime as was the baklava.... good sized portions. Cannot recommend this highly enough!

Great food. The falafel was delicious. Good atmosphere in the evening

Highlight dish was the cauliflower and kebab skewer. On the whole however this food was on the bland side and under spiced for the type of cuisine they are presenting. The decor inside feels dated and tacky, but the service is warm and welcoming, with good advice on what to order.

Amazing delicious food!!!! Best in Bristol. Great range and menu! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT :)

Everyone chooses their plant-based diet for their own reasons. For me something I realised years ago was that I ate meat and dairy because I was told to. I don’t want to be told what to do. I don’t want to be told that a tip is already included. I don’t want to be told to pay with a card. It doesn’t match well with my values. The food was excellent, bar from the fact that you pay for bread when ordering hummus. Makes me sad 😢

Such amazing mezze food. Definitely recommend! You need at least 3-4 of the mezze plate or just a couple and some sharing plates, but it definitely fills you up. Cocktails are really nice as well. And the decorations inside are floral, modern and beautiful . I would recommend this place as a hendo gathering place as the decorations definitely deliver the vibe.

Amazing food, lovely friendly staff, over all great experience, definitely will return. Thank you 👍

Otto, Nadia and Francesca were our servers and gave us excellent service. They went out of their way to accommodate our questions and fulfil our expectations.

We went on a Thursday evening, having booked a table for 19.15. We'd had loads of recommendations for Koocha, so we were really excited to try it out. Unfortunately the place was in chaos, with extremely slow service and long wait times. It was nearly 45 minutes until our first drink arrived and an hour before we got some bread and hummus. My sense is it was understaffed for whatever reason, so hopefully they were just having a rough night, but it really took the joy out of the experience - especially when you can see Uber rider after Uber rider coming in to pick up takeout orders, which I feel they should have turned off while they caught up in the restaurant . We were comp'd a couple of drinks by the friendly staff, which we appreciated, and we really enjoyed the food when it arrived, particularly the Kookoo. We would absolutely go back to try again, as I've no doubt this could be a 5⭐ place on a different, much quieter, night. Prices can be punchy at times, as they are fairly flat across the menu, but I think this evens out if you're ordering a selection of dishes. £6.50 for a can of local larger felt a little steep, but there's also a nice selection of wines (£8.50 for 175ml) and cocktails (£11).

Great and quick service, delicious and rich food. We ordered about 6 mezzes + two desserts between two people so had some left to take home too! It was good to have the spread , though you could probably do with 2 mezzes per person depending on which ones you get. I especially loved the artichoke dip and the saffron cheesecake!

Huge applause for this restaurant. Food was fabulous, staff were warm & welcoming. Highly recommend.

Fabulous restaurant, the staff were friendly, our table was a little delayed, so we had drinks while we waited and they were then on the house due to the delay. Great customer service, nice ambience, and the food was delicious. Couldn't recommend it more. Great find in Bristol. I'm glad we went.

Delicious food and lovely staff! The food is different to anything I’ve seen before - it was so good!

Delicious, nice atmosphere, cool people

Updated June 2024, still really good but not quite as good as it used to be. Two mezze plates makes a full meal, they're bigger than I expected. Great food, atmosphere and service are good, but not exceptional. Great vegan food, very popular. It moved to a new location nearby a while back, now it has more indoor space but the outdoor space is just on the pavement close to busy traffic and high levels of air pollution.

Great restaurant with lovely atmosphere. Some of the best vegan food in the south west! Staff were very attentive and Imögen and josh made sure we were well looked after. Definitely worth a visit!

Great place! Food was good and wait time was medium. Our table was very close to other ones though.

The food is really great, but the drinks, even at happy hour, are perhaps a little too sweet and overpriced. The mixed platter is really delicious, as is the bread and whipped feta dip.

Loved it in there, we tried the new add up to the menu that day :). £ price was good and fair, location is great !

Amazing fully vegan menu. Great meat alternatives that imitate meat well. Great range of items on the menu. Staff are really lovely too. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth going at least once

Amazing service. Healthy food made creatively. We always go here. The mixed grill is so delicious. Had it with a couple of sides for 2 people. Felt full in the best way after. Lovely mocktails too. Really is a must visit!

Continues to be a staple of an amazing evening in Bristol

Super loved it here! Delicious food and all really innovative too. Will 100% be back

I recently visited and have found my new favourite restaurant in Bristol! The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were stunning. A special thanks to Ewan and Jazz for making our experience so lovely. I can't recommend this place enough!

What a find. Proper delicious vegan food and a great vibe. Particular shout out to Ewan and Jazz for fantastic service and being lovely people to boot. We’ll be back!

We loved the decor in this stylish restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent - we enjoyed sharing the mixed grill and a selection of sides. Really tasty vegan food that both vegans and non-vegans loved.

I came here with my friend and we tried 3 dishes, all of which were delicious. The waitresses were all incredibly helpful and kind. Thank you Jazz, Nadia and Alisha for your amazing service. We will definitely be back!

A 5* all rounder great decor, relaxed atmosphere and absolutely fantastic dishes. The mezze we had were stunning. If you're in Bristol check this place out! Special mention to our server Jaz who was so lovely - can't recommend this place enough

Best vegan food I’ve had in ages. Great produce and flavours that will remain in our memories for a long time. Great attentive and friendly service. Thanks to Josh and Sarah 👌 we will be back

Exceptionally tasty vegan roast dinner. Every element had great care and attention to into it. Roasted veg was very tasty. Wellington could have been a bit stronger flavour, but honestly just nit picking as everything else was so exceptional. Looking forward to returning and seeing what else they do.

Really good small plates. Excellent flavours with mix of spicy and fragrant. Staff accommodated a change in seating, and Jaz our waitress was polite and efficient.

Food was incredible however, a mezze place that charges £5 for 4 slices of a flatbread is not the one!

Phenomenal food. They do an amazing Sunday roast!

What a treat, our Granddaughter, three of her friends and delicious food! I’m neither veggie nor vegan but boy did I enjoy the food in Koocha this evening!

Foodiwise the best experience in Bristol over the Bank Holiday weekend. Delicious food, good portion size, attentive service, lovely interior.

Time for my annual "see if the service has improved at Koocha trip" - spoilers, it hasn't. Arrived a bit early for my booking, promptly ignored for 20 minutes after being seated, finally get a drink, they gave me the wrong beer but it was close enough. A couple arrived and sat next to us at this point and after another 20 minutes seemed annoyed themselves about being ignored. They then received what I can only assume was our food ten minutes later. At the hour point I went to go and ask staff as no one had bothered to check on our empty glasses that had been sat on our table (which was in the front of the windows and in eyeline of the bar). They went and asked the chef and came back and apologised and said it would be out soon. All of this when there isn't even an option for the customer for food on a Sunday. It's a roast, that's the option. This is my third attempt since it moved from Zetland road, I walked out without eating and I will never be going back.

Lovely lovely lovely. Such great food. As a vegan chef myself I enjoyed every single mouthful. Decor cute.Jasmine our waitress was particularly fabulous too.

Fabulous food on our first visit today. Lovely helpful staff. Will definitely be back.

Visiting Bristol found this little gem of a place. Food incredible very tasty. Excellent service. Very happy

The food was okay, nothing very impressive or flavourful. The portion size was good, but the food didn't feel like enough value for the money. I'd rather eat something more delicious and bring my taste buds to life for that much money. I absolutely regreted ordering batata hara, though it tasted okay but that's something so simple I make at home regularly, why did I waste 6.5 pounds ordering that at a restaurant! I was expecting it to be something exceptionally delicious..but it was blah..nevermind. The kukoo was some spinach balls which was better than the bland potatoes but not worth 6.5 pounds. That's my personal opinion.

Excellent service and food, thanks Ewan for serving us kindly!

Great service and food! Especially good recommendations from our server Jaz!

Has a wonderful meal. Jaz and Donnie took amazing care of myself and my partner who had a nut allergy. Thoroughly recommend!!

Always love going to koocha! Food was incredible as usual and our server Jazz was so accommodating and friendly.

Food is so yummy, the apple crumble cocktail was delicious, and the servers were so nice :))

Came in Sunday night for a spot of dinner with my husband. Our reservation wasn’t on the system for another place we booked but we weren’t feeling disappointed after our meals here. The food was gorgeous! Two girls called Imogen and Nadya, I believe, were very friendly and attentive can’t thank them enough for the lovely experience. Definitely recommend! 🍽️❤️

Had such a lovely anniversary meal here with my partner! Had our first date here and our favourite spot to come too! Wanted to shout out Nadia our server for the evening!! So lovely and smiley great member to your team, helped us with all our requests 🫶🏻 Will be back soon! 💚

Amazing food, so tasty and beautifully presented. Great service too. We will be back 👍

I would highly recommend this place! Our servers Nadia and Jazz were so friendly and welcoming. The food came at a great pace. Everything was delicious but the kofte was particularly good, probably the best I have ever had!

Amazing food and service! I was so surprised at the range of choice and flavours. The staff were very helpful when we asked for suggestions and were so friendly. I highly recommend and will be visiting again very soon!

Amazing food! Everything we ate tasted great and flavourful! Jaz and Nadia were great as well fixing us up with there recommendations!

It was Sunday so we thought we'd give the roast a go. Absolutely fantastic!

very yummy food! served by the lovely Jaz - highly recommend :)

Really enjoyed the food, really tasty and good sized portions. Nice atmosphere and good ambience even when it's quiet. Great service from Jazz and Nadia 👍👍

Beautiful roast, amazing cocktails, friendly and attentive staff. Will defo be back, thank you!

An amazing visit, we had great food, excellent service, and delicious wine - the full package! Thanks for squeezing us in on a Friday night, we had the best time! (Oyster Wings are a particular highlight)

Probably some of the best vegan food I've had. Service was friendly and I loved the decor. Thank you!

Food and coffee’s are amazing. Staff are awesome too :)

Best vegan restaurant and possibly best restaurant I've ever eaten at. Really tasty food we had starters, mains and desserts and they were all delicious. It was a celebration meal and so happy we chose it. Staff were friendly and helpful and the service was good

Delicious food! Fantastic staff! Jazz, Niki and Amber were so welcoming, friendly and attentive, creating the best vibes. Will definitely be coming back!!

Really lovely food - so many good choices on the menu we struggled to decide what to eat. Lovely service from Nadia, Alice and Otto.

Lovely experience. Everything was perfect!

Walked past here yesterday on my way to Saigon Kitchen and was intrigued. Turns out a work colleague goes weak at the knees at the mention of "Koocha" so was a no brainer to book a table for 1 for a work trip. Staff were great and very attentive. I ordered a slow roasted cauliflower with tahini and a cold broccoli salad from the mezze list, followed by the saffron and tahini skewers "big plate". All 3 dishes were on my table within 10 minutes and all were incredible to the extent it's difficult to choose a favourite. But with my arm twisted would probably say the skewers...... not 100% sure what they were as menu said soy, but these were one of the most meaty textured kebabs I've ever eaten, and are vegan!!!! Can't fault anything, was genuinely blown away with the taste sensations! I will be back as soon as I'm back for work and am really looking forward to it already! Price great for what was an incredible meal. Only one negative was they had run out of wiper & true kaleidoscope but tbh the beverage was the least memorable thing about this epic eating experience!

Amazing food - and I am not vegan - but the flavours were amazing. I had the Koocha doner and pistachio cheesecake which were delicious. I will definitely be going back.

I've come to Koocha multiple times, and every time it's felt like so much more than just coming to a restaurant, it's always felt like a whole new experience, filled with incredible and delicious healthy food, caring and friendly service, and a beautiful, warm, homely and welcoming atmosphere. Every time I come here, I'm amazed and enchanted by the amount of variety of food they have available, and the amount of choice available. I am also always amazed by the amount of effort, Care, preparation and dedication that goes into each dish, every starter, every side, every main and every dessert has a lot of thought, work and effort gone into it too Phil each dish with unique flavours, each dish is seasoned and prepared beautifully, and you can really tell that a lot of hard work and Care has gone into preparing a healthy, nutritious and incredibly tasty dish. Whenever I eat here, I feel that the deliciously prepared food and the beautiful and warm atmosphere is worth every penny I spend. I've come here with different friends each time, and each time every friend I've brought here absolutely adores the food and the atmosphere. The restaurant is also very inclusive of peoples needs, and clearly sees each customer as an individual. It is one of the only restaurants I know which has a braille menu, which is amazing for visually impaired customers like myself. It's clear that they see every customer as an individual. When I came the other day with my partner and my friend, the members of staff Jaz, Amber and Nicky were kind, supportive, very friendly and very helpful, and they created a very welcoming and warm atmosphere which made our evening an unforgettable night out. Thank you so much to all of you. :-)

Lovely dinner tonight the food was great as always and the restaurant had a really nice lively vibe. Sophie our waitress was great also!

amazing vegan food!! Wish we had a place like this in Cornwall ♥️

Love this spot - the food is sensationally delish and the drinks are yummy… BUT LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SERVICE JAZ, NIKKI AND AMBER YOU DELIVERED THE GOODS xx

Niki, Amber and Jas from Koocha. Better than wine, better than kombucha. This team absolutely slay, like Santa on Christmas Day. What a spot, what a vibe, we are now part of the Koocha tribe. Love this place. Eat in or take out. Best nosh, vibe and service in town.

The food here is absolutely amazing, tasty, creative and well worth the money! The staff were just as fabulous - thanks so much Jazz, Niki and Amber for being warm, helpful, accommodating, and downright great hosts! Will definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious. Went as a group of 6 with only one actual vegan and everyone loved it. Super tasty ,great portions and the chocolate brownie was to die for. Staff very friendly too. 100% coming back very soon!

Great vegan eatery. Good selection of plates. Good sized portions to share. Delicious flavours. Staff friendly and helpful 👌

We went to try their roast on Sunday! We are big koocha fans so knew we’d love it but it was even better than we imagined!! Is there anything you guys can’t do??! 😍 I don’t think these roasts are going on much longer so hurry if you wanna try! We’ll be back soon for more yumminess!

First time here and it did not disappoint, the food was excellent. The staff very knowledgeable and the service was excellent. Would recommend this place as one of the top restaurants to eat regardless of whether you’re a vegan or not. Great food well worth being on your regular gotto places!

I reported the woman blowing her nose into a bit of blue rolls wife on her hands with it and then continue to prepare the food. They have got back to me the owner of the shop and said that didn’t happen and we check the CCTV of course they’re going to say that it did happen is unhygienic. I saw with my own eyes and these people are now lying just to save their self. That’s disgusting

Next level incredible, I wish we could have tried the whole menu, tad pricey, but worth it..........

Got the kebab which was amazing. Staff were really lovely. Pro tip, get a side of houmous for your chips. Will definitely be back for sure

Oh my goodness! My friend recommended this place to me and I’m so glad I tried it. The decor is really fun and quirky and the staff were so warm and inviting, we couldn’t have asked for a better service to be honest. My husband and I ordered 3 of the small dishes (bao buns, kookoo and oyster wings) and a bowl of kebabi dirty fries to share and we were stuffed! The portions were great sizes, the choice was excellent and the flavours were truly delicious and varied. This restaurant is proof that you don’t need meat or a meat substitute to have tasty food. The mock tails were also really lovely. It’s a shame we didn’t have room for any desserts as the selection looked pretty good for those too. Can’t wait to come back!

This is the best vegan roast in Bristol, I went with my friend and we managed to get a table without a booking (Book for Sunday it gets busy)! He is not vegan and said how much he loved it and couldn’t tell the difference, it is phenomenal and well worth the price

Very tasty food packed full of flavour and cooked to perfection 👌 the staff were very friendly and the wine was good. Woukd definitely go again.

We had a wonderful Sunday roast today. I was offered an alternative to the marbles Wellington which was cauliflower cheese, as im not really into the fake meat. The alternative was perfect. My husband had the marbles and really enjoyed it. All the accompanying roast veggies were beautifully prepared and very tasty. Our daughter had a great time too. She esp loved the brownie! The staff are lovely and go above and beyond! They were especially kind and generous to our 4 year old. Thanks again for a lovely dining experience x

I just ordered the Saffron and Tahini skewers for takeout from here and can I just say...THIS is how vegan food should be done. So many brilliant flavours, I just died and went to heaven. I've never tried Persian cuisine before but I can definitely say it's now a new favourite✨

The staff here are extremely welcoming and really good with handling food needs. Delicious vegan food with great staff at a great price.
