The Kohkoz Restaurant is Getting Closer to Opening – Here’s What’s Happening Behind the Scenes!

Bringing Real Lebanese Cuisine to 290 Ti Rakau Drive, Auckland
Exciting things are happening at Kohkoz, and we can’t wait to share this journey with you! After years of pouring our hearts into sharing Lebanese cuisine at local markets and pop-up events, we’re stepping into a new chapter - our very own space at 290 Ti Rakau Drive.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening and what you can expect in the coming weeks.
The Journey So Far
From selling our signature garlic dip at markets to becoming a local favourite for authentic Lebanese dishes, it’s been an incredible ride. Every step of our growth has been powered by your unwavering support and love for Kohkoz.
Now, we’re turning the page on an exciting new chapter - opening a space that brings together everything we love about Lebanese food and culture under one roof. Our new home will feature:
- A modern bistro where you can sit down and enjoy our flavours.
- A deli offering a selection of fresh, authentic Lebanese products.
- A manufacturing space to keep up with demand while maintaining the handmade quality you know and love.
We want Kohkoz to be more than just a place to eat; we want it to feel like a warm, welcoming space where food and community come together.
Takeaway Service Coming Soon!
While we’re eagerly waiting on final building consent to bring the full Kohkoz experience to life, we’re thrilled to announce the opening of our takeaway window on January 30th!
You’ll be able to enjoy all your Kohkoz favourites - think: creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, golden falafel, and freshly baked pita bread - all conveniently packaged and ready for you to take home.
Our takeaway window will be open 7 days a week from 11 AM to 8 PM, so whether you’re grabbing lunch, dinner, or a quick snack, we’ve got you covered.
Behind the Scenes: Making the Dream a Reality
The transformation of 290 Ti Rakau Drive has truly been a labour of love. We’ve been pouring everything into creating a space that feels authentically Lebanese, while also offering the modern touches you deserve.
Here’s what we’ve been working on:
- Designing a warm and inviting bistro where you’ll feel right at home.
- Setting up a takeaway service that’s fast and efficient, without sacrificing quality.
- Testing and tweaking recipes to ensure every bite of Kohkoz is packed with flavour.
We’ve also been sharing sneak peeks and progress updates on our Instagram and Facebook pages, so be sure to follow us for behind-the-scenes moments and exciting announcements!
