Diamond Koz

Locals in Rye have found a gem in Diamond Koz, a Turkish takeaway that brings the bold, smoky flavours of Anatolia to this historic town. With a spotless Food Hygiene Rating, this spot has quickly earned a reputation for its authentic approach to Turkish cuisine. The team here clearly takes pride in their craft, from the marinated meats to the freshly baked breads that arrive warm and pillowy.

Their mixed grill is a masterclass in char-grilled perfection — tender lamb şiş, juicy chicken, and perfectly spiced köfte all piled high with buttery rice and crisp salad. The lahmacun, often called Turkish pizza, is a revelation: thin, crisp, and loaded with spiced minced lamb. For vegetarians, the sigara böreği — golden, crispy filo rolls filled with feta and herbs — are dangerously moreish. Whether you're feeding a crowd or treating yourself, Diamond Koz delivers comfort that tastes like it travelled straight from the Bosphorus. Order easily through their website for delivery across Rye.
