Kapara is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Soho. From the second we walked in, the energy was ON POINT! The music, lighting, the buzz of the crowd... it’s got this cheeky, glam vibe that sets the tone for an amazing night. The food was so good. We shared a bunch of small plates (highly recommend going that route), and everything was packed with flavour. The lamb fell apart beautifully, the aubergine was rich and smoky, and the kubaneh bread... just wow. Soft, warm, and ridiculously addictive. Also, the cocktails were fun, unique, and properly strong! What really stood out was the staff – super friendly and genuinely seemed to care that we had a good time. Bonus points for the inclusive and queer-friendly atmosphere. Already planning my next visit

One of the nicest meals I’ve had in a long time! Gorgeous setting, nestled in a courtyard just off the bustling streets of soho with gorgeous bright decor, comfy seats and lots of plants! The waitress was absolutely lovely and welcomed us. We started with some cocktails- absolutely gorgeous- I had one with spirulina and coconut (heaven!). It’s sharing plates here so we shared and devoured hummus with slow-cooked lamb, squid, beetroot infused smoked salmon with goats cheese, harissa jeruselum artichokes and potatoes. It was hard to pick a favourite but the squid was super fresh and the salmon flavours were incredible. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert but can’t wait to come back! As an aside, the loos were lovely too!

I booked an event here and had a brilliant experience. So much support and help to get the right food and drinks for my party and on the day the team were so friendly and helpful. Genuinely felt looked after in a way that can be hard to find. We had around 40 people in the downstairs space and it was a perfect vibe of feeling exclusive without being stuffy. I'll be back for dinner and would recommend for cocktails too.

Superb dinner at Kapara! The food was all 11/10, flavors are beautifully combined and strong! We got many different plates, recommend the hummus, was great, a must! Aubergine and date dish, cauliflower, rattle potatoes, jerusalem artichoke and tomahawk steak! Pitas, olives and bagel are great to dip! It was a really good dinner, the atmosphere was on point, staff was lovely! Super recommended, they do TheFork discount, definitely make use of it!

Wow, so delicious ! Had a great visit here, used The Fork app to find the restaurant and was really happy. Decor was lovely and the maitre de was very attentive to us. Unfortunately the food was slow in coming out so they lost a star for that reason. Overall though would definitely go back !

Loved the food and the atmosphere. Plenty of vegetarian options, with the servers being very attentive and explaining dishes well. Had the lumb hummus, aubergine and the kohlrabi wellington, with the wellington being particularly delicious

Deco and vibe is good. Service is good. Food presentation is also great. The cod fish was overcooked to me, and I wonder if it may be the way middle east cuisine usually does. A bottle of red wine is over 40 pounds but you have to accept the price in Central London.
