The food is very delicately spiced and incredibly flavoursome. The cocktails and the wine compliment the food. The experience was great and we will be back again

It was okayyyy. But the spices were not hitting, got warned the vindaloo would be HOT. It was definitely not. The other curries were fine. The starters were fine. It just wasn’t worth the money. In hindsight, I’d rather have Indian food from southall or tooting where the flavour really hits hard for amazing value. Plus it was SO LOUD in there, my throat hurt from shouting over my whole meal. Won’t be back. Sorry. £130 for 3 people.

We loved our first meal at Kokum. Tasty food and really lovely staff who looked after us and even treated us to a little birthday sweet treat at the end of our meal. Starters were delicious and well sized and the mains were equally great. For the price we thought the whole meal was very reasonable given other prices in 2025.

Amazing food! We went for the sea bass and fish curry and they were both great. Don't usually do three courses but I couldn't resist! Service was great with the team friendly and happy to help. It was my girlfriend's birthday and the guys done a little brownie and candle which was really sweet. Going to go back and take my friends for my birthday in June.
