A New Era for Authentic Turkish Flavour Köz Oakham Moves to Larger Premises
Fans of authentic charcoal-grilled meats and vibrant Mediterranean mezze have a new reason to celebrate. Köz Authentic Turkish Charcoal Grill, which has rapidly become a cornerstone of Oakham’s independent dining scene, has officially transitioned into larger premises to keep up with its booming popularity.
Since its initial opening in late 2023, Köz has earned a reputation for bringing the true taste of the ocakbaşı (Turkish fireside) to Rutland. The move marks a significant milestone for the local business, allowing for an expanded dining area, a more refined bar experience, and the capacity to host more of the local foodies who have made it a "must-visit" destination.
What sets Köz apart in the heart of Oakham is its dedication to traditional methods. The center of the kitchen remains the authentic charcoal grill, where real lumpwood charcoal is used to infuse dishes with a distinct, smoky depth that gas grills simply cannot replicate.
The expanded menu continues to feature the favorites that built their following:
Signature Shish & Adana, hand-minced lamb and marinated chicken breast skewers, grilled to perfection.
Cold & Hot Mezze, from creamy Hummus and Saksuka to crispy Sigara Boregi and seared Sujuk.
The Shared Experience, large "Mixed Meze" platters designed for the communal style of dining that is central to Turkish culture.
The new premises offer more than just extra seating. The interior design blends contemporary "Bar & Grill" aesthetics with warm, traditional accents, creating a space that works just as well for a casual midweek lunch as it does for a celebratory Friday night dinner.
With the move, the eatery has also enhanced its bar offering, providing a curated selection of wines and spirits that pair perfectly with the bold flavors of the Mediterranean.
Whether you are a long-time regular or a newcomer to the scents of the Turkish grill, the new-look Köz is ready to welcome you.
