We LOVE Kibou - dined here twice this week alone . The staff never look very happy, there is one happy chappy but the rest of them look downright miserable, zero interaction with the guest. Food is amazing tho - so we keep coming back!

Excellent food and very impressed with the service we received. Sadly I didn't get her name but she was extremely good. I've been to Kibou a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is always so good. A very enjoyable night and a very nice touch at the end when our waitress brought along a birthday slice with a sparkler for my wife's birthday!

I just had my birthday lunch at Kibou, and it was delightful! Bento boxes were very tasty, and truffle tofu was just amazing - gentleman who looked after us was very caring and I felt truly pampered. Thank you very much, Kibou!

Nice friday evening dinner just to be tainted by spoilt poshers' kids running amok. Should limit kids to lunch time only I'd say. This ain't MacDonald's oh wait posh people don't go there.. they go to Kibou instead!
Kibou BatterseaResponded on April 28, 2025

We appreciate your feedback and will certainly keep your comments in mind as we continue working to create the best possible experience for all our guests.
