Went at at a quiet time. Service was good. Food outstanding. The seats and tables were basic but ok. If you are looking for comfort, this wouldn't be the place but if you are looking for good service, reasonable value and excellent food then it certainly is.

We had a wonderful anniversary meal the food was presented well and plentiful ,my steak was the best I have had. The surroundings and ambience were pleasing and staff attentive. A couple of tips to management we had great problems reading the menu even with mobile torches due to darkness and it would be nice to have longer time between courses. But thank you all for a lovely meal and the extra touches to make it special

This was our 2nd time visiting Kosk and again we were not disappointed. The service, food, taste/flavours were exceptional and our waitress Deniz was the most welcoming and attentive person we could ever wish for. Absolutely highly recommend Kosk to everyone.

Fabulous little restaurant. Attentive staff, warm welcome. Vibrant decor. Offered water immediately. The restaurant was full, so you must book. The menu is clean and simple and I could have chosen everything on it to eat! I didn't, tho. We had starters, mains and dessert. Wine and beer. All of it was delicious. Shared starters between our table of 4. We shared some of our tacos too. I kept my churros to myself! Our whole group enjoyed tasty food, energetic atmosphere, a lovely evening out with friends. I would highly recommend. This is our 2nd evening visit and we will go back again. Lunch is also good, different menu. Well done to the owners, Emily and Ollie. Keep going. We love it.

    Went for our anniversary and we were not disappointed everything was A+. The mocktails were delicious, the goats cheese starter was the best I’ve had, the mains were excellent and plenty of it, service was spot on and the restaurant itself was modern with a great ambiance. Will be back very soon.
