Unlike Ms Zikri I have always found the service efficient and friendly and regard many of the staff as friends. I have been going to the Koha since it first opened, have used it as a venue to meet friends and colleagues, many of whom have then become regulars and have even made new friends from fellow customers. Due to circumstances however I haven't visited for some time. Yesterday afternoon (Sunday 24th April) I planned to visit the Koha with a group of friends. A sunny Sunday afternoon - I expected all the outside tables to be packed and was worried we wouldn't get a table. I was though devastated to discover it was closed. No indication on the door as to why. St Martin's Court was a sad place without it. And there is no comparable place nearby with the open air access, that relaxed ambiance, reasonable prices and friendly staff. However, panic over. Have just rang them and discovered they were closed for a filming project. Whew! What a relief
I've been coming to Koha for years now. I've had intimate dinners, group dinners, pre-theatre dinner and lunch, I've had coffee with friends and have had scores of private parties downstairs. Fadil and his brothers never disappoint. The food is always outstanding, the service is impeccable, the wine list is terrific and I'd recommend Koha to anyone!! If you think Leicester Square is all chains then try this absolute gem lovingly tucked away from the chaos behind the tube station. They've even got outdoor seating aplenty in the summer and heated outdoor seating year round. Keep up the great work guys!
The private party room in the basement is just amazing with all facilities for a good celebration!
I highly recommend this place for everybody.
Staff were friendly and professional.
The prices are very good if you compare with other places in central London.
Thank you for your services!
Excellent service, food and value for money. If you’re going to a matinee please give them a chance to cook the lovely food, it’s worth it 👍
A wonderful restaurant with friendly staff, delicious food and an amazing atmosphere. My favourite spot in London �
I visited Cafe Koha with my Kosovar partner on 29/05/17. We were both really impressed with the delicious drinks, excellent service, friendly staff, stunning decor, and great ambience. It was also a lovely opportunity for my partner to chat to other Albanians, which he doesn't get to do very often in this country. Thanks for the great experience. We hope to come back for a meal soon!

Just popped in for a G & T, very good! Attentive service from Bibi (hope I've got that right, lovely waiter from Kosovo) we shared the tiger prawns, they too were excellent!
Great food and service. Excellent wine selection.
When we are back in London, we will definitely be back!
Beautiful food great service
Excellent staff and service excellent value for money say no more!!!!
We visited this restaurant based on its high rating on Google. We had OX Cheek and Wild Sea-bass fillet for the main course and Cheesecake for dessert, along with red wine from Chile. Everything was excellent, but not quite enough to make me feel the need to return to this restaurant when I am in London again. What I would criticize is that the fish served could have been warmer, or at least the plate could have been heated. On the other hand, what I would praise is the good value for money.
Hidden gem close to Leicester Square station. Celebrated a birthday and the food and service were fantastic! Best starters Salmon sashimi and scallops ever! Then the tastiest Steak that was cooked to perfection. Dessert cheesecake with the freshest fruit. Great selection of wine and a complimentary lemon cello to celebrate the birthday girl. Definitely cannot wait to go back. Best start to an evening before the theatre or just for amazing food!
This was the best food we had during our short business trip in London. We came from Singapore and were looking for a cosy spot serving British/European fare and were sooo lucky to have found Koha. The atmosphere of the place is super cosy and the service staff were impeccable on both occasions we dined there — yes the food was SO good that we had to go back for our last dinner (kudos to the chefs)!! Special shout-out to Shaq and Drill for the amazing service and for making us feel so at home. Thank you for making our trip amazing ❤️
What a find! We were looking for a restaurant close to St. Martin in the fields on our way to a concert and I'm glad we found this gem. Ordered the ox cheeks and I honestly can't imagine them being any better than the ones at Koha. Highly recommended ❤️
Food is quite good although I had a Spaghetti Carbonara which was a bit strange.
Service is good and the Seating area outside is relaxed, especially good considering it's in the center of Leicester Square
What a wonderful gem to have in Leicester Square. Exquisite food with pleasant service. A true hidden diamond in town, thank you Koha!
We were walking around trying to find a place open and with actual seats available, when we found this place. What a discovery. The staff is friendly and polite, and the atmosphere is quite cosy and inviting. Food arrived quickly. I ordered the special of the day which was pork belly, and could literally eat a bucket of it. Dessert was nicely presented and very tasty as well. A very nice place, conveniently located steps from a tube station; serving great food.
Stumbled across by accident; what an amazing find up a little alley. Food cooked and presented to perfection. Staff friendly and helpful. They offered us things off the lunch menu for my daughter - thank you for that! A bit quiet, which we didn't mind, but they really deserve more customers. Very happy to call in again sometime.
This restaurant is one of the best in London. The food was exceptional, delicate, super flavorful, presentation was excellent.
There are so many “tourist traps” in destinations like London, Las Vegas, Paris, etc. This is a true restaurant were you can taste the pride of the chef in every dish is served.
Starts of the night: Carbonara, Oxtail with mashed potatoes and Lobster Ravioli. The Seared Scallops were also just amazing.
Cocktails were well balanced, flavor forward and had great presentation.
The service was exceptional, both times we visited we were greeted right away, place was busy (as you’d expect) but we were seated very quickly. The staff is professional, and super friendly.
Don’t leave London without sopping by for dinner.
Happened to stumble upon Cafe Koha on an early Monday afternoon with little to no crowd. We were immediately seated outside and Fidel was a delight to talk to as we ordered and watched the theater crews arrive. The boar sausage is juicy and creamy without being overbearing, with a matching sauce that completely won me over. My partner ordered the duck breast, which was cooked perfectly. And if they have time to recommend the house cheesecake, you better take up their offer. It is light and airy and creamy and wonderfully decorated with a variety of fruits. Everything is made in-house, the wait staff was super attentive and informative. Altogether an absolute joy to find this place. Looking forward to coming again on our next trip to the city!
We visited Cafe Koha Bar randomly and the reason was it was the only one of the few restaurants with available table on a Saturday night. The staff was friendly and attentive but just kind of slow.
Their menu wasn't in a great variety but pretty decent. We got their Pan Roasted Duck Breast and Rib-Eye Steak with port sauce with a hint of truffle. The portion was good enough to share with two of us with reasonable price.
The food was overall delicious, especially the steak, it was well-grilled, tender and perfect with the amazing truffle sauce. However, the duck breast could’ve been better, it was a little overcooked and tough to chew.
Very conveniently located right next to exit 1 at Leicester Square tube station. Tucked away in a lane way. Had a nice meal and friendly service. Enjoyed the lamb and duck plus desert.
Excellent food! Wonderful atmosphere and company! Hidden treasure in St Martin’s Court in London. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this place. Definitely I will be back. Well done Café Koha team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you deserve the ⭐️
Gorgeous food with lovely homey survives.
Cafe Koha is the first restaurant I’ve visited in the UK 2 years ago, and it became one of my favorite and special to-go place. It’s a perfect place not only for enjoying seasonal cuisines, but also for casual drinks in a warm atmosphere with the best staffs ever. I highly recommend here when you drop by central London.
Had a fantastic meal here tonight. I had the Ox Cheek which was great, and my partner had the Rib Eye steak which was the best steak either of us had had before! Would definitely recommend!
Great pre-theater or after-theater spot right between the stage doors of two West End theaters. Lovely menu with something for everyone, indoor or outdoor seating, and the manager Albi could not be a lovelier host. He really works to make sure you have a great experience.
The outdoor tables have the charm of being between two stage doors; just be advised that theater workers and patrons north like to grab a smoke before the show out here, and there’s not much of a breeze, so it can be “smoky.”
We did not have too much time and had no idea what type of food Koda serves. I think we were a bit too lucky! Gnocci and lamb we had was really good. Will go back for sure to taste rest of the menu!:)
