Delicious, inventive Basque food in the funky Broadway Market in Tooting. A great addition to the local food scene.
Owner is so lovely and always smiling and the food is delicious, clearly made with fresh, good quality products. Will definitely visit again. Thanks Kova
Can’t fault the food which was absolutely delicious and the service and attentive to detail worth 5* alone! Tooting culinary of international food with a '‘Basque’ twist certainly a revelation. Go enjoy and support Kova located in trendy Tooting Broadway Market!
Food is a work of art and palette is tantalised by the array of flavours
Simply wow! An absolutely delicious meal from this family restaurant in Tooting Market. The food was exceptional especially the white asparagus, the duck egg & black pudding, prawns & scallops, flaming chorizo and signature black rice. Really well priced and in the heart of Tooting market. We will be back!!
Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic service. This is my third time here and won't be my last.
All the food is extreemly well presented and the wine, which hails from the Basque region, is outstanding. Just watch out for the long pour.
Tokova has a good range of vegetarian options, is dog friendly (there was a house dog there when we went) and has an amazing market vibe.
One to visit again, no question. Small and intimate like most Broadway Market restaurants, but unique food very well prepared you don't always get. I wouldn't call myself a foodie but loved every dish, that's all that counts for me. Very kind host and chef make for a wonderful evening. Oh, and little cooper the dog...rounds it off perfectly, so cute.
Best restaurant in Tooting market. The food is almost Michelin star quality for a v reasonable price, the service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Would highly recommend! We live close by and can’t wait to go again. Cocktails are also incredible. Very accommodating for gluten intolerances.
Absolutely lovely - I had high expectations from the website gallery but they were definitely exceeded. Only took one photo because we devoured everything too quickly. Fresh and authentic food with such a unique Basque menu. We sat at the bar so got to watch the kitchen too! Will definitely try to come back
Surely this is the best restaurant I've been to in London. Tokova combines the best of Basque cuisine with the welcoming and indie vibes of an open market. I went there with my girlfriend and I was impressed with how the dishes were well presented, elaborated, and unique. Very chic and tasty! I drank a few glasses of the house wine and I would be lying if I say that I am a wine expert, but I can assure you that this was a great wine. On our way back home we were both feeling light and satisfied, with no headaches on the following day...Last but not least, we had the opportunity to meet the owner, she was so kind, a true Basque Londoner. Tokova is great and authentic with an amazing service, congrats to the team!!
Had a lovely meal here last Saturday. It was easy to book a table online and the staff were very welcoming on arrival. We ordered six dishes as tapas - they came out one after another which made it feel like a six course dinner and it worked really well, each one coming almost immediately after finishing the previous. The chorizo, lamb, duck egg and black pudding and celeriac ribbons were all excellent. The squid ink rice could have been a bit less salty and I prefer my pardon peppers a little more cooked but still enjoyed them. It’s relatively expensive but worth it.

Astonishing basque dining experience in the Tooting Broadway area! Every dish was so thoughtfully prepared and inventive that we wished we would have ordered more! The owner took a great deal of time to explain every single one of these to us as well which was very attentive and showed a true passion for her craft. If you want an authentic open kitchen dining experience in the heart of Broadway Market, you have to give Tokova a go!
This place never disappoints. I’ve been 5 times and the food is exquisite. I’ve been lucky enough to sit at bar overlooking the kitchen in all its professional glory. The staff are great the foods superb. It’s a firm favourite and wouldn’t look out of place in San Sebastián. I urge you to treat yourself and give it a go. Criminally overlooked and deserves some accolades.
I am a regular there and love the mother and daughter welcoming service. Every dish was well executed .. I enjoyed the asparagus dish last night, the black rice and the steak. Highly recommend, fun and relaxed atmosphere and good value
