Good Food but Not-so-good Experience - Edit
A stylish restaurant with a variety of dishes. We tried bao buns, ghormeh sabzi, and roasted broccoli with plain bread on the side. All were tasty, the bao buns were our favorites. It was very nice to get some free tap water right away. It was not so nice to get socially pressured into giving tips. Of course you *can* opt out but if you're directly asked by the waiter, who does? Together with the clearly overpriced food and paying extra for bread this impacted our overall experience negatively.

Great service, solid food - Edit
We had 6 mezze for £40 and a side of fries between two of us. We were hungry so the portions worked well. A review of each:
Read more1) Samosas: very nice, they go quickly
2) Artichoke dip: very nice, highly recommend a dip as one of your mezze
3) Oyster wings: very good, the hot sauce slaps
4) Spiced cauliflower: nothing special, the sauce didn’t have much flavour
5) Sweetcorn fritters: tasty enough, once again the sauce was quite plain
6) Falafel: Tasty, the humus was quite sweet which was interesting
7) Fries: Great
I’d heard amazing things (IE the 5 stars here) about Koocha but it was slightly below that tier for me, maybe it was just the mezze that we chose. There was plenty more options including mixed grill style kebabs which I’d try next time.
Ambience is great, it’s in a trendy part of town, and our server was lovely.

Magnificent Mezze - Edit
Absolutely loved our dining experience at Koocha, where we shared a magnificent mezze.
Read moreWe chose the falafel, lahmacun laffa bread, ghormeh sabzi, doner bao buns and sweetcorn fritters, where all the dishes were extremely flavourful and well spiced.
Onto desserts and the quality didn't stop there, as the baklava and pistachio and marshmallow cheesecake were divine. We also treat ourselves to a glass of Pinot Noir and Malbec🍷.
Even the Koocha Kids mini mezze we got for our son was superb, and such good value for just £8.
Staff and ambience were also superb. A must visit.
Pros: Great food , Ambience , Staff

AMAZING FOOD - Edit
Me and my boyfriend both ordered the koocha doner and fries! The portion was huge and all the sauces and spices were delicious! We then shared deserts (baklava and pistachio and marshmallow cake) - the pistachio and marshmallow cake which was a bit weird. The baklava was my favourite of the deserts. All the servers were kind and the restaurant itself is very pretty. Would definitely recommend! I’d love to go back as the menu is large with a range of flavours and dishes I’ve never seen before. It’s rare to get a vegan Persian food restaurant and I was more than satisfied- only complaint is it’s slightly overpriced

Mediocre - Edit
Really lovely staff that were helpful, kind and welcoming. It is a card only place no cash. The passion fruit martini cocktail was lovely but a very small drink and my partners cocktails were either too sour or too bitter wasn’t levelled out enough for our personal preference. For food we chose the oyster wings, sweetcorn fritters, dirty fries, bao buns, falafel, samosas and was recommended the asparagus. Was nice food however did need more seasonings for our liking. Also a bit more on the pricier side which we never mind but for the quality of food maybe a bit too overpriced in my opinion. It is really good for vegans and non vegans though because they have meat alternatives.
Read morePros: Passion fruit martini was lovely, Lovely staff , Dog friendly
Cons: Need more flavour/seasonings, A bit overpriced

Increased my rating - Edit
Gave it a 3 last time but this time was much better. Great environment. Wonderful options on the menu. The oil used in the tempura was old and dirty which was a shame, the rest was amazing!

Great service and delicious rich food - Edit
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!

Always delicious, always wonderful - Edit
2023 review: Koocha, while hard to get a booking at, is 100% worth the effort! I would recommend the "oyster wings" above all else, I was considering ordering a second portion.
Read moreWe ordered two large plates and two mezze between two people, which filled us up plenty. We also got some cocktails which were lovely, and since we arrived early we got the "two of the same for £15" deal.
The staff are always lovely too, and while the place is small and intimate, it was never too loud for conversation.
The only downside is that a lot of the menu is often unavailable, which is a shame, but everything we did order was delicious, and there was still plenty of choice.
Edit: Since going back I have found the whole menu has been available so I think they have resolved any supply issues!
2024 review: Still delicious; they regularly make changes to their menu to switch things up but they keep the old favourites on there! I have been twice for their roast dinner, which sadly has now stopped for the year, but I think they usually bring it back for the winter. They have said they are continuing to do a few roasts on Sundays which are first come, first served! It's an amazing roast, best vegan roast in Bristol.

Come here!!! - Edit
I'm SO happy we can get persian (enough) vegan food in Bristol! As a Persian I love bringing friends here to show them how delicious our food is. Its obviously not all fully authentic, some is inspired by, but it is definitely worth many visits!
