A lovely cozy small restaurant and it was very busy when we went for lunch. The staff was very helpful and flexible with my friend's food choice from the menu. The restaurant was full but the noise level was moderate as me and my friend found it easy to talk. Overall it was nice but the only downside was that the coffee wasn't hot at all, it was warm. We had two rounds of coffee and did mention to the staff that the first two coffees were not hot when we placed the second round. Howerver, our "extra hot" coffee were just a bit warmer than the previous ones, still not hot. Don't know where it went wrong but I did get a very hot water at the end.

This place has a really unique menu & vibe and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular! I’ve come here a few times with my most recent visit being last weekend. I ordered the Turkish eggs which was tasty and spot on in terms of what I envisioned taste-wise. I also had a good portion of merguez sausage which I paid extra for. The food was of good quality, with the flatbread on the side being especially tasty and soft - much better for mopping up sauces as opposed to toasted bread which some other places do! I found the staff a bit unfriendly which lets the place down. I feel like it overshadowed my otherwise great experience with the food, which is a shame (hence the three stars). Maybe it was just an off day and will try again in the future but due to both my friend and I feeling a tad unwelcome, I probably won’t be rushing back here.

Came here for brunch after nonstop hearing about it for years! Good service and really nice to see different options for breakfast! We had the hot honey habibti and the Turkish eggs; unfortunately we were very underwhelmed, both poached eggs were overdone and the hot honey dish was very chaotic and didn’t quite make sense, there was slaw, chucks of cauliflower stem, and for the price £12+ just very underwhelming. The presentation was nice though! The coffees were good, although they weren’t very hot, but would probably come back to try the more simpler dishes

Went for brunch and had an enjoyable experience. Got the Turkish eggs with an extra merguez sausage on top. Big portion and seasoned well. It is a little on the pricier side, especially if adding extra toppings, but it's a nice treat every now and then.

When the meal arrived I thought, “I’ll be surprised if the taste lives up to the presentation”… it wasn’t an issue. The pictures are from two different times and the food has been consistently excellent. Also, the coffee is first class. House of Koko are really taking “cafe” food to a whole new level. Price is a fair reflection of the excellent standard. My single, minor criticism is that I’d have loved a tiny bit more sourdough to help soak up the flavoursome oils and sauces of the dish. The baked goods are also as instagram-worthy as their flavour. The service is great. Thankfully, kids and dogs are welcome. Yet another gem of Chapel Allerton. Don’t miss it.
