Got a really good and large falafel(nice and crispy) in pitta bread with proper salad, tahini and chilli sauce for £2.50. Price to taste ratio, one of the best lunches in the UK at this point. Plus Dr Pepper in a can, so it is perfect to me.

Decent food, mediocre coffee, unnecessarily rude staff. I see other reviewers from 4 years ago have had a different experience, though.

This is the older and original Kimo’s restaurant, big brother to its sister restaurant based on Mount Pleasant further into the city centre. There appears to be a refurbishment going on here at the moment, so the restaurant is temporarily closed. However, it’s a fantastic place for a quick and easy meal that isn’t going to leave you skint! It’s a very popular eatery for the University of Liverpool Students as their campus and some of their halls of residence are just around the corner from here! They serve a range of snacks including Pizza’s, burgers, salads, and also some authentic Moroccan dishes and kebabs, just as they do in their Mount Pleasant branch! Well worth a wander if you’re fed up with the usual suspects on Hardman Street for a meal, places such as Hannah’s and Bistro Jacques!

This Kimos is quite different to the original on Mount Pleasant which despite being much larger, feels more intimate; there is a nicer atmosphere in the other venue I think; this Kimos gets busy in a cramped sort of way rather than a bustling energy. Myrtle Street is just opposite Liverpool University campus and just yards from Liverpool Community College and this, together with the cheap prices appeal to the student types. The menu is not as extensive as the other venue with a poor selection of bog standard lunches and drinks. Unfortunately the staff at this café are equally unimpressive serving mediocre coffee in a chipped mug with an echo of a smile.

The original student café of Liverpool — well probably not but it has been here for ages and continues to provide all the residents and students of this top end of town with very good and extremely cheap scran. I’m not sure what Kimos specialise in except being able to provide a mix of very good food on the cheap. Its all very healthy too with kebabs — not the late night stripped of e donkeys leg kind — salads, coucous, pastas and pizzas. It does get very busy though between 12 — 2 but you can often come in and just enjoy a coffee either side of this rush. Kimo’s prove you don’t have to eat badly to eat on the cheap — at least that’s something the students have learned.

It’s usually pretty busy in here, for one it’s tiny! And more impressively, two because it’s right around the corner from the Uni campus and serves as a great snack stop; healthy, cheap and tasty with a range of jackets and sandwiches. They also have a mouthwatering selection of mains if you’re super hungry, I ordered a chicken kebab which came with rice salad and pitta, and boy was I full! It was also exceptionally spicy, and took me a while to figure out why I was almost crying but it was the special relish they’d put on the side.(I’ll know for next time!) The pizzas are really good but extra extra cheesy and they serve a range of fruit teas and soft drinks. All this set in a relaxing mediteranean setting with bright hanging fabrics, rustic bare-bricked walls, wooden furnishings and twinkling overhead lights, it’s like eating under the stars!

Kimos is a great place for a snack, but, like Tea Gather, isn’t very spacious and if you wanted to go with a large group of friends you’d be better going to the one on Mount Pleasant. This is a halal café, so the only problem is you won’t be getting bacon and sausages with your full English breakfast, although the alternatives are just as nice. There are various types of breakfast which always seem popular, plus a widely varied menu of other dishes. Again, for more choice and main meals it is better to head down to the larger Kimos. With its location on Myrtle Street, Kimos is popular with students and young professionals alike, and it would be interesting to see if they stayed open later whether they’d still get the same good business.

Excellent student lunch venue serving cheap nutritious food alongside pizzas and kebabs. No alcohol served as everything’s halal, so the chances of you getting back to your afternoon lectures is reassuringly high. Table size ranging from cosy for two to ENORMOUS for everyone you know.

great range of food, taps, kababs, sandwichs(with about 5 differnet breads to choise from), Kimos is the number one student eatery! the menu is great and provides a lot more than any of the on campus food joints that Liverpool Uni has to offer! after three years at kimos, the food has been consistently good! the club sandwiches are without a doubt the best in town! but even if your not a poor student this fab eatery is a must visit for anyone as the food is fab. the mertle street café gets super busy and youll be lucky to get a table between 12 – 1. but after that its ok. a fab location for breakfast as they serve the best med breakfast is town. all day as well =)
