“For Cozy Restaurant, I envisioned a space where guests feel at home. I aimed to blend warmth
with a touch of luxury by incorporating natural tones, soft textures, and warm lighting.”
There’s a comfort in familiarity, the kind you feel when a meal reminds you of home, when every bite is honest and the world outside slows down. Cozy is this feeling made real; food crafted with care, a setting designed to soothe and moments filled with warmth.
Comfort Food
with an Inspired Twist
Since 2024, restaurateur Emrah Gencer and chef Hüseyin Kılıç have poured their passion into every corner, from the open kitchen, where familiar dishes find fresh expression with a refined and simple approach, to a thoughtfully crafted menu that celebrates comfort food with an inspired twist. The kitchen is relaxed and clean, focusing on straightforward, well-executed flavors that feel both nostalgic and modern. The flavors are honest and layered, speaking softly but surely to those who seek nourishment beyond the plate.
The Feeling of
Home
As the evening deepens, the bar becomes a gathering place where signature cocktails and a curated wine selection invite guests to fill Cozy with laughter, dance, and music. Cozy brings its close ones closer, those who love to dance, share moments with loved ones, and embrace the feeling of home.

and sexy atmosphere in Istanbul.”

#Cuisine
A kitchen grounded in ease and precision.
Flavors speak for themselves, clear, familiar, and carefully layered. Dishes are built with seasonal ingredients and a respect for rhythm: not too much, never too little. But always, the food is elevated, refined, but never distant.
#Cocktails
Freshness, variety, and consistency come together in every glass.
Each cocktail is crafted with precise techniques, using thoughtfully selected spirits and seasonal ingredients. The result is a menu that embraces diversity, not just in taste, but in tone, texture, and mood. Modern flavors are reimagined with subtle twists.
Hints of the Aegean, touches of the Mediterranean, and quiet nods to art shape the character of each drink. Balanced, expressive, and always intentional, cocktails made to feel personal, without trying too hard.
Music that mirrors the moment.
Inspired by the warmth of the South with
sun-worn textures and 80s and 90s echoes in its walls, Cozy isn’t just a restaurant nor a club. It’s a home, one that knows how to move.
Here, music is never just background. It’s curated live hour by hour by a team that reads the room: the light, the weather, the rhythm of the guests. There are no pre-set playlists. From noon to midnight, sound flows with intention.
In the evening, the energy softens. Jazz, bossa nova, and funk set a mood that lets you taste, talk, and feel fully present. Then slowly, the tone shifts.
As the night develops, so does the music. It never jumps too loud or too fast. You’re guided gently from calm into motion. The warm-up never rushes because movement begins when the moment is right.
At that moment, the music goes live and becomes fully integrated into the atmosphere. That is where 90s and 2000s disco step in, familiar, joyful, and full of rhythm. Shoulders sway, conversations melt into beats, and the room becomes something else entirely.
