Ocakbaşı & Grill

Area

Leyton & Leytonstone

Köz Restaurant is a Turkish ocakbaşı grill at 602 Lea Bridge Road in Leyton, close to the Bakers Arms junction where Leyton meets Walthamstow. It is a neighbourhood restaurant with dine-in tables, takeaway and delivery.

The menu covers the full range of a Turkish grill house: cold and hot meze, salads, döner, charcoal-grilled meats, yoghurt-based dishes, seafood and vegetarian plates. The meze list is long, so it’s easy to build a meal from small plates before the grill arrives.

It suits a relaxed family dinner, a group who want to share meze, or a midweek takeaway if you live nearby.

What to order at Koz Restaurant

The meze and grill sections are where Köz is strongest. From its delivery menu, look out for:

• Ali nazik – smoky aubergine and garlic yoghurt, topped with meat
• Soslu patlıcan – fried aubergine in a tomato sauce
• Kısır – bulgur wheat salad with herbs and pepper paste
• Acılı ezme – spicy, finely chopped tomato and pepper salad
• Sigara böreği – crisp filo rolls filled with white cheese
• Sucuk – grilled spiced Turkish sausage
• Lahmacun – thin flatbread topped with spiced minced meat
• Çoban salatası – shepherd’s salad of tomato, cucumber, onion and parsley

Atmosphere and good to know

It is a casual, family-friendly room with high chairs and step-free seating. Alcohol is listed as served. Halal options are mentioned in third-party listings, but the restaurant doesn’t state its halal status, so ask staff.

Vegetarians do well here, with falafel, a vegetarian section and plenty of meat-free meze. Delivery is available on Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
