Kapara Soho

Celebrate Eclectic Flavors and Warm Hospitality

On stepping into Kapara, tucked away in a serene courtyard just moments from the bustling heart of Tottenham Court Road, I'm enveloped by an inviting fusion of elegance and whimsical charm. With an atmosphere that hums pleasantly with energy, each corner of the restaurant unfurls exquisite aesthetics – from its art deco façade to thoughtfully curated interior detailing. The evening kicks off with an attentive nod from the staff as they masterfully match my vibe, striking a tone that's both personal and knowledgeable, without veering into the intrusive.

The culinary offerings are delightful journeys, courtesy of masterfully crafted dishes that sketch vibrant narratives on my taste palate. One cannot speak of Kapara and neglect the wonders that emerge from its kitchens: tender Mediterranean octopus cloaked in subtle smokiness, the hummus draped artfully beneath thumbnails of ethereal eggplant slices, and the Frenah loaf – warm, welcoming, with a pesto drizzle that turns every bite into a bit of poetry. Shareable platters offer homage to both tradition and innovation but do whisper a small caution thou are best stretched over a spirited conversation rather than serving solely as a belt-tightening meal. Despite slightly premium pricing—even for Central London—the experience at Kapara might be seen as costly, yet it emerges distinguished, memorable, and worth every delectable penny for those yearning a tasteful escapade right in the heart of the city. — Jasper Griddle
