Vegan Persian restaurant Koocha Mezze Bar has won Best Restaurant at the Bristol Life Awards 2022.
Bristol Life said the restaurant “has shone brightly since opening in 2018, becoming a hub for vegan excellence. Had national and international recognition in 2021 and proudly serve 1,000 customers a week.”
Creator and Head Chef Noda Marvani posted on Instagram: “What a fabulous achievement for us! Very proud of my incredibly hard working team!”
After earning her stripes in the kitchen of her father’s restaurant, Noda took over the family business to create a Persian plant-based paradise that was the first of its kind in the south-west, showcasing the best in Persian and Middle Eastern cooking with a commitment to sustainability and local suppliers.
Many recipes have been passed down for generations and have been revamped and rebooted to create modern dishes that are rooted in tradition and designed to be shared with family and friends.
The Bristol-based business hopes to open more locations across the country in the future.
