Perfection! Absolutely amazing from start to finish! We came for a birthday celebration and to start with we received a birthday card signed by all the staff. A really nice touch that made the experience even more special! The service was impeccable, staff were friendly and helpful which you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre. We had the full tasting menu - every dish was better than the last. They were all unique, flavoursome and unlike anything we had ever had before. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I am not sure why some of the reviews are so negative. It is easily the best restaurant we have ever been to and we look forward to going back. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience it was a pleasure to dine with you!

We had an amazing dinner here. The best Mexican restaurant in London. We lived in California and we miss Mexican food so much. To enjoy Mexican cuisine in the form of fine dining with crazy creativity and marvelous flavors is just a very rare experience. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, a good place for family gathering.

KOL takes the crown as my favorite restaurant in London, and 4th in the world. The two month long wait to get a table was worth it. Let's start with our entrance - the host and hostess were both cheerful and checked us in quickly. We were brought to our table (which was such a comfortable little both right next to the kitchen!) I really enjoyed watching the chefs at work. You'd think sitting next to the kitchen would be loud, but the environment was so peaceful. Service wise, everyone was attentive and patient with our questions about the food and drinks. I want to highlight the sommelier. We didn't know much about mezcal, so we decided to go with the mezcal tasting. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable as she gave us a background on how each mezcal was made. Portion sizes for the mezcal tasting were perfect. I thought I would pass out afterwards, but her pours were perfectly sized for me. Finally to the food - I couldn't rate it higher. We began with an amuse bouche of a bit of a spicy mezcal soup. It was strong, but I've never had such high quality mezcal where I didn't gag afterwards. We then moved on to a tequila and a mezcal margarita with their restaurant name in the ice cube! I highly recommend the mezcal margarita. The last small starter was a little waffle sandwich with enoki mushrooms. Now to the bigger starters: yellow pepper with creme fraiche, and scallops with a cucumber. They were both light and refreshing to prepare my palate for the larger dishes. I usually adore scallop, but I think this was one restaurant where the scallop wasn't my favorite. The scallops flavor tasted a bit bland next to the cucumber. I still liked the dish, but not as much as I was expecting. The next two dishes were two of my favorites: langoustine taco, and the wagyu tarte. We had to squeeze this citrus juice from the langoustine's head onto our taco. It was such a fun dish - I was absolutely playing with my food. The wagyu tarte was an add on, but absolutely worth it. The beef was cooked very slightly so you could taste the flavor of the meat. The next dishes were vegetable dishes - one that surprised me and one that was a crisp break from the heavier tastes. First, the kohrabi was refreshing and cooling. Next, the purple carrot was actually quite heavy. It felt like eating meat, but it was a vegetable. The sauce was very heavy. Next up were our mains: a wrapped fish, and the pork cheek tacos. Both were savory and I wished we had another! The pork cheek came with several toppings like mushrooms to pop on top. Finally, our desserts were each light, but full of flavor to end the meal. I couldn't give a higher rating for this restaurant. We had an amazing experience and will be back again!

Fantastic dishes, novel creations, seamless service and lively setting. We enjoyed every dishes and the pairing was done brilliantly with lots of creative wine and cocktail selections.

First time trying out at a michelin star mexican cuisine restaurant. Didnt suit my palate and the dishes were not fantastic. Service was ok as well. Overall atmosphere was great but could do better for the price tag.
