We are located at 203 B Cheltenham Rd The Arches Bristol BS6 5QX

Koocha was founded in 2018 as Bristol’s first totally vegan restaurant – a plant pioneer, we’ve led the way for animal-free cuisine across the city.

What really sets us apart though is the big, unexpected and delicious spices and flavours from Persia and the Middle East that infuse every dish in our bountiful menu.

Our food is as fresh as it comes, sourced locally and sustainably, everything is made from scratch by our talented team. And whether you’re vegan or not, we pride ourselves on our seductive fare – even the most devout meat eaters have declared their love after a meal at one of our tables.

    3 of us ate at Koocha, late on Saturday night, after a night out at the theatre. We were buzzing when we arrived, and the restaurant kept us buzzing - great staff, fantastic food and even though we were the last ones in the place, we didnt feel rushed at all. thank you Koocha

    This was the best roast dinner we’ve ever had! The flavours were amazing & the portion size perfect. I don’t think we’ll ever enjoy a roast dinner elsewhere again. Koocha always delivers on food and service, I recommend to everyone (vegan or not!)

    This was a work event and we thought we would go Vegan so that one of our colleagues was covered. The food was out of this world, who needs meat when you can eat like that? I am going back with my family. The staff were lovely we turned up as a six rather than a five and they offered to move us for more room etc etc. Try the mocktails as well they are delicious.

    Koocha is my favourite restaurant in Bristol...the decor is gorgeous, the staff are all always really helpful and friendly, the food is unbelievable. Had the best vegan Sunday roast ever there yesterday. Oh and it's also favourite restaurant of friends who visit from Birmingham, and as of yesterday, friends who visit from York!

    Chose Koocha for a special birthday meal with family who had never been and all came away very impressed. One member of the party has severe allergies and the waitress went through this thoroughly and spoke to chefs to ensure all OK. Excellent quality food and came away stuffed!
