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!

Mixed outcome!

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

Wonderful food, great setting

Visited Aug ‘22. I absolutely should have reviewed this at the time, I loved this food. Not hugely familiar with Bristol but this did seem to be a bit off the beaten track – though I’m not a local. I only knew about it through word of mouth. Was super impressed with the lovely interior and the unique menu.

The menu has changed since I went, but I think I shared the Koocha fried chicken burger (blue bun), sweet potato samosas, kotlet (mince/potato patties in a mint chilli salsa), gaymeh (aubergine & yellow split pea stew) & okra fries. I had the Turkish delight chocolate brownie for dessert. My only criticism was that this didn’t really taste like Turkish delight, just a regular brownie.

I think it was reasonably priced & the staff were lovely. I also loved the live plants on the wall.

The place to convert people to veganism

This is my favourite place to eat in Bristol. There’s a huge selection of things to eat and the cocktails are amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

One of the very best

Can't recommend this place enough. Lovely atmosphere, big menu and everything I've tried has been amazing. Staff always friendly and helpful and can talk you through anything on the menu you're not familiar with. Essential for any vegan in Bristol.

Have been here a few times, always get the fries (regardless if ordering more). Nice sized portions.

Stellar Vegan Nosh

Absolutely delicious completely vegan cuisine. Ate out with a party of 5, including several non-vegans, and everything was to die for. Best vegan kebab meat my partner has ever had. Lovely array of dishes to choose from and friendly staff, couldn't fault a thing.

Top Tier Vegan Restaurant!

UPDATE: NEW MENU!
I recently revisited Koocha for the second time to try their new menu and I can confirm that, despite the menu being smaller, the food is just as amazing! My dad and I had the Doner Kebab, Saffron and Tahini Kebabs, Kookoo, Sweet Potato Samosas, Osyter Mushroom Wings, Special Fries, and for dessert the Baklava…all of it was outstanding! All of the food was so fresh, portions were decent and as usual it was all so tasty! Even though they have taken things off the menu, I loved the new additions! Truly this is a unique restaurant with amazing food. The vibe and staff were even more friendly than last time and we cannot wait to return! The food is well worth the money! Such a gem in the heart of Bristol!


The food at Koocha is top tier vegan food in Bristol. The atmosphere is relaxed and upbeat but the food is, of course, the highlight. I visited with my dad who’s a meat eater and doesn’t usually enjoy vegan food but he wouldn’t stop raving about how amazing his doner kebab was! I had the saffron and tahini kebabs which were so tasty! The portion sizes are really decent here and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. The menu is huge and there’s something for everyone; so much selection and everything is interesting and unique. The food at Koocha is unlike anywhere else; it’s very authentic. It’s an amazing feast spot for vegans but also non vegans can 100% enjoy a delicious meal here! There’s a huge array of mezze options to choose from on their menu, as well as their larger dishes such as kebabs, dirty fries and more! They also have a few delicious vegan desserts on offer; I had the Koopa which is fried cinnamon rice balls and they tasted amazing! This dessert was unlike any dessert I’ve ever had! It tasted like churros but was such a great texture and the portion size was amazing; my dad and I shared it! Overall, I will 100% be back to Koocha to try more on their menu and it has suddenly become one of my favourite restaurants in Bristol!

Divine food!

Wow, the mezze dishes here were so delicious! Finally some well flavoured and spiced food. Everything tasted differently, but all the flavours were really right. I can warmly recommend the okra fries, the samozahs, the Olivia salad, the za'atar flatbread... Pity they they were out of koopa for dessert, but the baklava and the icecream tasted so good too! 🤤 Man, I love this place! 🤩

Best vegan food so far

Wow. How good is this. We ordered 6 different mezze plates with flatbread and had 2 desserts to share. All. Just. Perfect. Must say, we both like our food to be full of flavour and spice, and this was definitely the case here. If we would have had a bigger stomach we would have ordered six more plates 😜 Bur I guess we will just have to return some other time.

Pros: Good value, Indulgent, Super friendly staff
