Ottoman Kitchen Southampton is a Turkish restaurant on the High Street beside the historic Holyrood Church. An open kitchen centres the experience on charcoal cooking, while an outdoor terrace adds another setting in warmer weather. Service extends from breakfast through lunch and dinner, making the restaurant useful for both quick daytime meals and larger evening gatherings.

Cold meze such as hummus, cacık, smoked aubergine, stuffed vine leaves and şakşuka introduce the table to herbs, yoghurt, tahini and olive oil. Hot meze adds grilled halloumi, falafel, calamari, Turkish sausage and pastry filled with spinach and feta. Mixed platters are an effective way for a group to compare several of these flavours before the main course.

The charcoal grill covers chicken and lamb shish, köfte, wings, ribs and chops, with larger platters designed for sharing. Seafood and yoghurt based kebab dishes broaden the selection, while vegetable casseroles and other meat free choices ensure the menu is not limited to grilled meat. Rice, salad and warm bread complete many of the main dishes.

Baklava is baked fresh each day, giving the meal a traditional sweet finish alongside Turkish tea or coffee. Efes beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks support anything from a casual lunch to an evening on the terrace. Ottoman Kitchen’s identity rests on the aroma and directness of charcoal cooking, supported by a wide meze selection and generous hospitality.

Address: 36–37 High Street, Southampton SO14 2DF, United Kingdom
