Kapara Restaurant Soho

We had a really lovely dinner at Kapara in Soho last night. The food was great especially the beef skewers and the lamb neck, both full of flavour and beautifully cooked. We also shared the hummus with pita and the ceviche to start, which were fresh but the note the small plates are very small. The only small downside was the wine carafes they really need replacing. Even the waiter struggled when pouring and it spilled quite easily, which isn’t ideal (especially with red wine and a nice outfit involved!). Thankfully nothing landed on me, but it was a close call. That aside, it was a genuinely enjoyable dinner and we’d happily return.

Loved the quality food and friendly service. Lots of yummy dishes on the menu and perfect for sharing. Spent about 75 per head with 2 drinks each. The 3 citrus ceviche was great but order at least 2 if yoy are 3 or more. The chicken was really one of the best tasting one i had in ages and the home made Jaffa Cake for desert was really perfect to round of all the big flavours. Will def come back next time there is a special occasion!

Kapara in Soho more than lived up to the buzz — it’s exactly the kind of place that surprises you in all the best ways! From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about guiding us through the menu, which always makes a huge difference. The vibe is electric but never chaotic — perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a lively night out. The cocktails were a highlight: I had the chocolate orange drink and it was truly unique, beautifully balanced, and fun — like dessert and drinks had the best baby 🍊🍫🍸. We went for the vegan/vegetarian tasting menu, and honestly it was one of the best plant-based experiences I’ve had in London. The menu featured a delicious mix of vibrant small plates and shareable dishes — think perfectly seasoned spiced olives and nuts, creamy hummus with house-made pita, delicate date & miso aubergine with tahini, and other playful Middle Eastern-inspired creations that didn’t feel like afterthought vegan options but like the stars of the show.  The whole meal felt thoughtful and flavourful — plenty of smoky spices, bright citrus notes, and really clever contrasts that kept every plate exciting. Service was smooth throughout, and the team gave great recommendations without ever being pushy. Would definitely recommend Kapara for anyone who loves bold, sharing-style food and cocktails with character — whether you’re plant-based, meat-eater, or somewhere in between 😉 Can’t wait to go back and try more off the menu! 🍽️🥂

We shared several small plates to start, all of which were very interesting; I particularly enjoyed the salmon and cabbage. For the big plate, I chose the catch of the day—the fish was incredibly delicate and flavorsome. We also loved the background music, which created a very soothing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

First time coming and not our last! The food was great and the cocktail was delicious and boozy! Dejan was a pleasant host and his presence added to our meal experience. Thank you for making us feel valued. Till next time!

Got a £50 voucher, so give it a try with a friend! We really appreciate the service by Jubear as he is very patient to explain all the drinks and food since the beginning. Thank you! Overall food is really nice however it’s really pricey so maybe it’s best for celebration? Or I will definitely revisit if I got the voucher again! Food: HUMMUS WITH SHORT RIB, CEVICHE CATCH OF THE DAY (sea bream) SWEET POTATO WELLINGTON, and BLACK & GOLD. Drinks: Tibi tibble and Passionfruit & Basil

Delicious dinner date with a friend. The food was all delicious, friendly and attentive service. There were fab cocktails at £6 between 4 and 6.30pm that are well worth trying. The Jerusalem bagel and Hispi cabbage were the true highlights.

Good food and good atmosphere. Went there for a Sunday roast for a late lunch. The restaurant was relatively empty so I was able to get a seat without making a reservation. I had the short ribs which came with a delicious brioche like bread. For dessert I got the Jaffa cake and though I'm not a big fan of candied orange peel it was surprisingly good.

Service wasn't fantastic but sufficient:/ ambience is beautiful with some quirky subtle details, like the bathroom tile;) food was good but nothing fantastic.

I had a really positive experience at Bala Baya a few months back so I was excited to try the sister restaurant and unfortunately it just didn't deliver. Despite it being nearly empty, service was SO slow. It took almost 45 minutes for one of my dishes to come out. They didn't have either glass of white wine I wanted on the menu so I settled for a rosé. I ordered: 1. The frenah loaf (£11). 1/5. It was so dry and I didn't rate either of the dips it was served with. 2. The aubergine heart (£13). 4/5. This was a great dish, flavours were very balanced and the aubergine was cooked well 3. The oxtail hummus (£15). 3/5. Overall tasty, but the oxtail was lacking in flavour. The pitas tasted store bought. All in all they would be better off paying more attention to service & quality of food rather than the aesthetic (which, to be fair, is lovely - it's a gorgeous restaurant).

Disappointed to see the low reviews as we had a lovely meal here. Great ambiance and service. Our waitress was lovely and food came out promptly. Best dishes were the tomatoes and the oxtail!

What a treat our evening at Kapara was. If they offer you a seat at the kitchen bar, take it. We had so much fun chatting with the chef as he cooked and learning his story. The food was delicious and inventive, and the presentation was impeccable.

What an outstanding restaurant! Some of the best dishes I've tasted in a long time anywhere (and I live in NY!). The eggplant and artichoke were two of my favourites. As for the cocktails - stunning!

Yum the food here is so good. Glad I got to try it when I was visiting London. We were a group of 5 and got shareable plates including cheese balls, broccolini, hummus, and ox tail. Everything was flavorful and filling!

Thank you for accommodating our large party on short notice. The food, service, and atmosphere were all so exceptional. I'll be back when next in London!

The food and atmosphere at Kapara are both exceptional. The service is also phenomenal. Can't wait to go back again.
