London's theatre district is a buzzing area full of people, shops and restaurants. KOHA is a small hidden gem found right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, providing a reprieve from the crowds with great food and a friendly atmosphere. This family run restaurant and bar has over two decades of experience in hospitality and stands its ground in theatre land thanks to a menu featuring fresh, daily delivered ingredients from local suppliers.
A menu of modern European dishes draw in a popular crowd, particularly in pre-theatre hours. It's specific pre-theatre menu changes daily but features a two course example of the head chef's take on modern European cuisine.
Located between two stage doors, KOHA is a great spot for a three course dining experience that will only lengthen your post-theatre buzz. Start off with an oven baked camembert served with a rosemary-grilled bread that's perfect for dipping in the oozing truffle honey baked cheese. For mains, the slow cooked shoulder of lamb is sure to keep your taste buds singing - cooked for 24 hours, the soft, delectable lamb is served with creamy cancelline beans and steam broccoli, all topped with a generous portion of rich lamb jus. Another stand out option for the main course has to be the pan fried fillet of salmon that combines a cauliflower puree, spinach and chickpeas with a cherry tomato confit, creme fraiche and a fine drizzle of basil oil.
To finish, the menu plays with the traditional creme brulee by flavouring it with butternut squash and star anise; served with a mango sorbet, meringue, and passion fruit sauce, this is a unique combination featuring exotic global flavours. If you want to stick with a simpler option, the creamy, vanilla cheesecake is balanced out with a tart, wild berry compote for a fine ending treat.
