Köz Restaurant - Holzkohlegrill Stade

We had dinner there on Xmas eve since this was one of the few restaurants open. Grilled lamb and chicked dishes were delicious, salads were fresh and sauces were tasty. Nice atmosphere of the restaurant was slightly compromised by a visit to the toilets, which were in need of a good clean.

We chanced upon this place today for lunch. It is a fairly big place on the main road just outside altstadt. We ordered one Mixed grill platter and one Adana kebab plate. We were presented with Naan bread and three types of dips on the house to start off with until we waited for our orders. The mixed grill had a choice of chips, baked potatoes or rice. The quantity of meat served was enormous and even with a good appetite one would struggle to do it justice. It was well cooked yet very succulent and was served on a large bed of rocket and parsley leaf salad. Half a large fried tomato, slice of cucumber garnish and a not too pungent long green pepper with plenty of Tatziki completed the offering. My wife's Adana kebab plate was also sumptuous and was similarly accompanied by all the above except for a portion of Turkish pilao rice instead of chips. The kebabs just melted in the mouth. Both these plates also had very thin Turkish pizzas topping them. We were so full at the end of this experience that we had no ability left to try the most tempting Baclava or Creme caramel kept on display. We left Koz restaurant satiated and satisfied. One more happy customer.

Central located restaurant with charcoal grill and tasty turkish food (especially adana & iskender kebap), friendly staff. Homemade ayran is a must!
