Koza Turkish and Mediterranean Market

Incredible food and service. it genuinely feels like you're in Turkey! Huge thanks to the owners and staff. We’re already hooked and plan on ordering from here every single week. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality is so good it's completely worth it. Get the Adana kebab, it’s an absolute must!

They have a surprisingly wide selection for a spot you’d probably overlook if you weren’t paying attention. Tons of Mediterranean and Turkish staples, fresh items, and a good mix of packaged goods you don’t usually see at standard grocery stores. Prices felt reasonable for what you’re getting, and everything looked well-stocked and organized. Definitely one of those places you’re glad you randomly found. If I’m in the area again, I’d go out of my way to stop in.

My third time here in 10 days: I've been trying different dishes (sucuklu pide, iskender, çılbır, sütlaç, Konya usulü pide). Everything has been delicious so far. The music is good, too. It's mostly Turkish pop, but I even heard some jazz with Turkish lyrics that seems to be a pop--big-band fusion, something I had never heard (in Turkish) before. NOTE: I'm writing about both the restaurant and the store. For years, my gold standard for international groceries was Barbur World Foods, which, of course, is great and truly international. Koza is definitely for Turkish tastes. (There are a few Armenian, Azerbaijani, etc. imports, but it's mostly stuff from Turkey.) Not only do they have a vaaast array of ingredients for cooking; they also have a variety of packaged foods, from mantı and İnegöl köftesi to *almost* all the candy bars I remember from my childhood (and some I didn't know). There are jams (eggplant, apricot, vişne), juices and sodas (şalgam! Uludağ, etc.), many types of olives, pistacchio pastes, packets of hazelnuts, many types of pickles, Turkish, American, Yugoslavian, and other condiments, and non-food grocery, kitchen, and other items. Konya pidesi was great: just sligh

Just like being in a cafe in Istanbul! The food is amazing—Iskender Kebab is a fave—and their mezes are delicious. Tea served in Turkish tea glasses, wonderful breakfasts too. Sit outside or inside, and bring your friends. Yum! (And don’t forget to stop by the Turkish market next door afterwards as well to stock up on more goodies.

Amazing Turkish food that tastes just like your grandmother would make. We had the Adana and İskender kebap — both were absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Even though you place your order before sitting down, they bring everything out fresh and hot after it’s cooked. We sat outside and enjoyed the relaxed vibe — perfect for a casual, flavorful meal. Afterwards, we stopped next door to grab some Turkish breakfast items for the next day. It was a great overall experience. We live close enough to go back more often!
