KOL London Reviews from The Last Year

🤮

Avoid like the plague

1/5 by 👻 @Peter N on 07/25/2024

The Food and Wine here is outrageously expensive and frankly rather poor. The meal was over £800 for two and despite being a fan of taster menus this one and the accompanying wine flight was hugely disappointing. Some of the courses tasted rather nasty and the wines weren’t much better. Avoid

Wow

5/5 by 👻 @Gia Koutras on 07/24/2024

Best food experience I had in London in a while. Superb. Definitely coming back. The plating was exquisite but the taste was mind blowing, so simple yet layered, complicated tastes.

😍

Top food and service as always

5/5 by 👻 @Wael N on 06/15/2024

This is the best resturant I have been in, food، and staff are excellent as always. We have been coming here weekly for 2 years almost

Pleasant but quite a bit short of outstanding

4/5 by 👻 @finnlagun on 06/09/2024

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Our first impression was of an attractive restaurant and warm, welcoming staff (though the waiting was a bit fumbled from time to time). We took the tasting menu with drinks pairings. By and large this was creative and interesting, and I enjoyed the chef’s emphasis on using unusual ingredients, yet ones sourced here in the UK. Our overall feeling was that none of the dishes had real ‘wow factor’ in spite of their curiousness and pretty presentation. It was telling that, when staff asked which was my favourite item from the menu, I struggled to identify one, and not for having been spoiled for choice. We felt that many of the dishes required a little more seasoning. The wine pairings, meanwhile, were pleasant though I struggled to get my head around the connection between German and Austrian viniculture and the KOL’s Mexican ethos. Overall we enjoyed our visit but wouldn’t rush back, not least as the bill came to some £700 for lunch for 2. The nouvelle nature of the dishes also meant we did not leave feeling particularly full.

🤮

Avoid!

1/5 by 👻 @Scenic02302442852 on 06/06/2024

Very nice staff who worked hard but the food and atmosphere were massively underwhelming. No idea how this restaurant got so over hyped. No dish truly impressed over our very slow 3 1/2 hours spent in the restaurant. And all this came with a very large bill.

🙂

Great Mexican experience

4/5 by 👻 @Guido J on 05/15/2024

A very good original Mexican cuisine. The menu is very special in it’s tastes but a bit heavy too. Dishes are served in a fast tempo. The service is good and friendly. Don’t forget that a service tax is added to the bill.

😍

Incredible!

5/5 by 👻 @Francesca L on 05/11/2024

Truly amazing spot in London! The staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and on top of service. The dishes were excellent! Delicious, balanced and creative use of local products to show case Mexican flavors. Highly recommend!

😍

Different and flavourful

5/5 by 👻 @Felix on 05/11/2024

Really good food. Tastes and presentation different from what you usually get. Super friendly service and nice atmosphere

Not worth a Michelin Star

2/5 by 👻 @Jess Morales on 05/03/2024

In my opinion KOL should have the Michelin star taken away, I actually don’t understand how they got it, in the first place. I’ve been planning to visit the restaurant for over a year, finally I made the trip to London to try it and it was a total disappointment. Here the highlights of the night: Chef: First huge disappointment, Santiago didn’t even care to stop by the table, despite me traveling a long way from Mexico to meet him, he spent his time chatting with a group of three men dressed in black and covered in tattoos, using a terrible language and all of them coursing in Spanish, very inappropriate for the occasion. Rey Lopez definitely a polite chef, he was very nice and welcoming when we first walked into the restaurant. Menu: After visiting places like Le Maurice in Paris, Louis XV-Allain Ducasse in Monaco, Akira Black and other Michelin star awarded restaurants, I can’t understand how KOL managed to obtain the award, only 2 dishes of their entire menu were good, the quality of the ingredients was not exceptional, good quality but definitely not high-quality, there were flaws in the operation, we were asked to leave our table at 8:45 pm because they had a booking at 9 pm, and there were moments when we had to wait about 15 to 20 minutes for each course to arrive. Dear KOL, you are setting the peace, you can’t expect your clients to speed up eating and then kick them out, that is an operations mistake, paying £449 for this menu and service was definitely not worth. As mentioned before some plates didn’t arrive on time, one broth dish came cold to the table for example. Unforgivable mistake for a Michelin inspector. Perhaps because they got it, they think it is fine not to pay attention anymore to the details. Presentation: The curtains were messy, and unevenly opened and people from the street would stare at you. Staff: The outdoor kitchen looked very packed and chaotic. Pablo, was our main waiter, very kind and amazing person that helped the experience be better, he showed knowledge about the dishes and the history of the restaurant, but in the end broke our hearts following instructions by asking the table back at 8:45 pm, when the kitchen was slow delivering the food. Anyways… For people who really appreciate haut-cuisine and good restaurants, trust me, do not loose your time on this one, you don’t get much value for your money. London has better options, or visit Mexico. On the other hand, if you have minimum £449 that you are happy to let go, I recommend to visit the restrooms, the decoration is thoughtful, boho style, small trip to Tulum, a town in Mexico without exiting the UK. Hopefully they’ll get their operation together and improve if they want to keep their Michelin Star.

Overhyped Disappointment

3/5 by 👻 @ThePromise on 03/16/2024

Securing a reservation at this establishment felt akin to hitting the jackpot – after months of persistent attempts, driven by an enticing trailer that hinted at an unforgettable culinary adventure. Upon arrival, the restaurant's aesthetic matched the allure of the promotional material – chic and thoughtfully designed. Service also met expectations. However, when it came to the food, disappointment ensued. Despite the appetizers menu boasting 8 or 9 items, the portions were so minuscule that they wouldn't even fill a single plate collectively. While the modern Mexican concept intrigued, it failed to deliver on flavor, relying too heavily on presentation alone. The initial excitement was overshadowed by hunger and a sense of letdown. No amount of flashy marketing or trendy ambiance can compensate for a lackluster dining experience. Ultimately, the promise fell short of reality.

😍

Creative, exciting, unusual

5/5 by 👻 @AJCG on 02/25/2024

Creative, unusual, delicious small plates of food with exciting taste and texture profiles. Great sommelier. Came away wanting more. Casual ambiance. Expensive. Chef was in the kitchen.....

🤢

Average at best

2/5 by 👻 @JewelsKene on 02/12/2024

The food looked pretty but that’s about it. The taste was average at best. The pairing (mezcales) with the food was bizarre as it was more of a mezcales introduction class and did nothing to complement the dish.

🙂

Great service and atmosphere some amazing food but a few misses

4/5 by 👻 @Partner792 on 02/02/2024

Great experience at kol with very attentive and informative service, a good wine list with some interesting choices that you don’t often see and a strong menu. The food was very different and some courses were an absolute hit whereas others were a miss. Over the 8 or 9 courses we had I would say 2 or 3 were exceptional 2 were a miss and the rest were good. As a different concept it is worth a try but it is not Cheap Overall I’d go back for the atmosphere and service but there are other places to try for the food

😒

Good food, but not good value.

3/5 by 👻 @James I on 01/29/2024

The ambience, service and food is good however in my view it falls short. More than anything it comes down to value and expectations. A meal for two, with only two drinks each came to just under £500. For that I expect something really special/memorable. An 8 course tasting menu sounds a lot but it was more like 7 canapes and a main. I found the narrative a bit much, with the waiter taking longer to describe the dish than it took to eat it. As a result the meal took three hours. When I told them I wasn't close to being full, they did provide two rounds of the main which was appreciated - good customer service. In summary, nice but poor value. If you are price insensitive, go.

😍

Out of this World

5/5 by 👻 @Vasdev B on 01/27/2024

Dinner was truly unique & far beyond my expectations, particularly liked the cerviche, halibut tacos & chilli gelato dessert, Do go earlier to sip some unique cocktails at the bar too, enjoy

😒

Some good, some bad, mostly average!

3/5 by 👻 @Jos C on 01/09/2024

Visited Kol in mid December and it was very hit and miss. Similar to other reviews we thought the food overall was very bland. There were a couple of very good dishes such as the langoustine tacos. Other than that most were average, in particular the main which was short rib tacos which to be honest I'd be slightly disappointed if I had served this at home. All in all for £520.00 it was just too expensive for what it was and a particular annoyance of mine is restaurants having supplements, in this case an extra course for wagyu and truffle at £90.00 per person (£30.00 for wagyu and £60.00 for truffle) pp. I think for a £160 tasting menu you either put it on the menu or you don't.

🤢

Meh

2/5 by 👻 @RKM036 on 12/26/2023

We were looking forward to eating at KOL during our visit to London, but were disappointed. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t very good. I saw previous reviewers’ comments about the food being bland and I disregarded them because it can be hard to please everyone. I have to say I agree with them though. Most dishes on the tasting menu lacked significant seasoning or flavor other than chilies and/or chili oil. That’s not to say the food was too hot, just not much flavor beyond chili. For the hype and the expense, not worth it. Expected MUCH better from a Michelin starred restaurant. On a positive note, however, the staff and decor were very deserving.
