It was alright

Had the Doner kebab, Kotlet kebab and a hot chocolate.

The hot chocolate was interesting, they put actual pieces of dark chocolate in the drink....you end up with lumps of slightly melted 70% dark chocolate (or even darker?); idk, if you like that then you'll like this. Personally, if you're gonna surprise people with that then you might want to add some sort of marshmallow or whip cream to balance out the bitterness - 1.5/ 5

The Kotlet kebab was great, loved the slight crispiness of the outside, the chilli and tzatziki sauce on it was good, lovely taste and texture overall. The bed of rice was good at first, but because there was quite a bit of it, you soon realise that it is quite dry and soon got hard to swallow when there's no more Kotlets left. All in all, flavours were monotone, some form of side salad would have broken down the rice more - 3/ 5

Doner kebab tasted good, loved the fresh onions and other veggies in there, tasty seitan. The Barbari bread was very thin and crispy, it was like eating air almost. I think a bread with a bit more width would be better. More chilli spice would have been nice too - 4.5/ 5

Wonderfully atmospheric place in Montpelier

Great venue on the main road, with on road parking nearby. Great service with original food. We had a mix of 6 mezze a local pale ale for me and a red wine for my wife. The eggless kookoo was so tasty. The artichoke dip was unbelievably creamy and the Gaymeh I would have more of. The flat breads seemed to be fresh out of the oven and were themselves wondrously light. If we lived clower, we would eat there regularly

Pros: Friendly service, Tasty food, Lively

Mezze magic.

We had 8 dishes and a bread between two of us. A range of dips, salads, falafels etc. Also a bread which was just about enough for a chap who eats a lot and his partner who doesn’t eat as much. Great flavours which used a lot of mint and pomegranate. Luckily I like mint and pomegranate to a degree. Nice vibe in restaurant and I even managed to park for free on a Saturday opposite the restaurant. Dessert was extremely good, a saffron cheesecake accompanied by a rose hot chocolate which was equally great.

Pros: Good range of dishes, Great cheesecake

Heaven

My favourite vegan restaurant. Nothing else like it. We had such a great time. So many options on the menu and all the ones we tried were delicious. When you eat this food you will understand why it’s so popular. The place has been packed every time I’ve been and I totally get why. It’s bright, colourful and just makes you happy. Such good value for money too. Plus don’t get me started on the cocktails! The apple crumble cocktail is what dreams are made of. Highly recommend.

Pros: Food, cocktails, friendly staff, great location

Cons: Honestly can’t fault this place. They’ve nailed it

Perfection

We have been a few times and have always loved it here but some how it’s even better now then before. The new venue is ridiculously beautiful and stylish. The new menu is unbelievable varied and tasty. I had the new chicken kebab which was the best thing I have eaten in a long time. My 9 year old son had the saffron and tahini kebabs and he literally demolished them. My friend opted for Mezze which we shared and every dish was different, unusual and absolutely delicious! The staff were also really friendly. This place has such a nice vibe. I could literally eat here everyday.

Pros: Amazing food , Friendly service , Wonderful ambiance

Cons: Nothing this place is perfection

Great potential

We had high hopes for this, however the service was terrible. We were outright ignored on entry and then seated next to a phone that rang none stop. The glasses provided with the water were dirty and drinks took a while to arrive. I ordered the chicken kebab and it just tasted like this isn't chicken and nothing else. We ordered baklava to finish which took 10 minutes to arrive and was clearly defrosted.

Pros: Lots of options , Good pricing

Cons: Poor service, Good was subpar

Amazing- probably the best food ever.

Fantastic Persian mezze. All vegan. Now in bigger premises with a bigger menu.
Just go there. It really is as good as all the reviews say.

A must for any vegan visiting Bristol

Koocha is one of the best vegan restaurant you can find in Bristol. Some great vegan takes on some good comfort eats such as kebabs, chilli fries, Hot dogs and a good range of mezze style food. There's a good range of vegan deserts and beers as well, highly recommended.

Pros: Everything is vegan

Tasty Vegan Food

Really enjoyed the food at Kooch Mexza. The menu wasn’t as vast as I’d hoped, I was expecting more of a Mezze but for £4.00 for each dish, this was quite a lot. Instead I went for the doner kebab and chips and my husband had the falafel burger. Mine was a huge meal and took some finishing but it was very tasty. Nothing liked I’d tried before. The service was quick and friendly enough.

Pros: 100% vegan, Tasty, Good atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Such good food!

We went here last week and it was super busy but managed to get a table outside. We had the doner kebab and special fries and my husband had the loaded doner fries. The seitan used for the doner meat was tender and tasty and the portions large. My daughter proclaimed it one of the nicest meals we had had! Well worth a trip- vegan or not.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Large portions

Best kebab

The service was fantastic and the food was equally as brilliant. Smallish venue with lots of charm. Was absolutely brilliant and already can’t wait to go back to eat it all again. I had the kebab, fries and some hummus which was all delicious.

Most flavoursome Persian food!

The dishes taste amazing and you try them all with the mezze option! You don’t get any rice with the dishes but I’d highly recommend the zattar flatbread to soak up sauces. You could taste all the flavours in the food and it was fresh and not oily. One of my favourites was the ‘eggless kookoo’. It gets super busy so you definitely need to book a table and they also have outside seating perfect for a sunny day. The prices aren’t bad for the quality of the food and the staff are very friendly and will explain dishes to you if you need more information.

Pros: Amazing flavours, Friendly staff, Best vegan Persian restaurant

Cons: Gets busy quickly so book in advance

Overall pretty decent.

Visited for lunch. Small and busy. Selection was pretty good, but not an extensive menu. Friendly service. Kebab was very good. Loaded fries also good. Few of the mezze items were a little disappointing and overall the proces seemed high for that end of town.
