Lauded as a “great modern take on Turkish food”, cozy Oklava takes its culinary inspiration from chef Selin Kiazim’s native roots. Sophisticated small plates are the order of the day, from complimentary bread with Medjool date butter or nibbles of chili-roast cauliflower studded with “jewels of pistachio” to a meaty braised octopus with ricotta, green olives, honey, and “tangy” pickled caper shoots or well-seasoned char-grilled chicken with Kayseri pastirma dressing and thyme. Oklava restaurant is located in Finsbury, London.
