Köz Ankara dining room

From Ankara's embers,
to your table

Köz means glowing ember — the heart of every Ankara grill house. Our story began in 2000, at the family mangal where recipes were measured by hand and judged by smoke. Today we carry that same fire to Newmarket, Ontario: kebabs hand-minced every morning, mezes made fresh daily, bread pulled hot from the oven.

Nothing here is rushed. The charcoal takes its time, and so do we — because that is how it has always been done, and how it always will be.

The Köz Way

What We Stand For

Real Charcoal

Every kebab is grilled over köz —

glowing embers, never gas.

Made Fresh Daily

Hand-minced meats, daily mezes,

bread baked through the day.

Family Hospitality

You arrive as a guest,

you leave as family. Hoş geldiniz.

A warm welcome at Köz Ankara

Hoş geldiniz

You arrive as a guest,
you leave as family

Turkish hospitality is not a service style — it is a promise. Fresh bread lands before you order, çay never stops, and there is always room for one more chair at the table.
