💥BIG NEWS ALERT💥 So happy to finally share with you all that we will be opening... OKLAVA BAKERY + WINE in Jan 2020 on 64 Grafton Way, Fitzrovia. But, before we do that I need a little help from you all to make my cool room dreams come to life. ‘What does she mean’? I hear you say, well please please head over to our Kickstarter page (link in bio) to find out more about our newest project and about why I need YOUR help! Thank you for reading, thank you for your pledges in advance! I promise you plenty of deliciousness in 2020🥳 (Apologies as I’ll probably be quite annoying until we reach our target too!😳)
Çemen Glazed Lamb Chops, Cabbage, Citrus & Coriander Salad Gently cooked over coals that lamb fat with spice, smoke and saltiness is the one for me @oklava_ldn
4 years ago when I put Grilled Hellim, Lemon, London Honey & Oregano on the menu @oklava_ldn little did I know it would turn out to be a phenomenon. But, it’s not just any grilled cheese now is it, it’s Oklava’s grilled cheese! Never gets boring, never comes off the menu, never needs changing 🤤Big 🧡 to @kuprosdairy @mroliveoil @london_honey_co @londonlogco
Some of my absolute favourite bangers @oklava_ldn right now back on the menu, including this one.... Cheese, Kale & Baharat Pide, Burnt Cabbage Butter 😍 3 cheeses, kale, garlic & baharat on the inside, raw kale & lemon salad on the outside
The return of the 🐙 pide....@oklava_ldn Marinated Octopus, Ricotta, Olives, Pickled Caper Shoots & Honey
Kaburga - Cured & Smoked Lamb Ribs back on the snacks @oklava_ldn

It is with sadness I bring you the news that we will be closing the doors to @kyseri_ldn on Dececember 21st. We gave it our all and are incredibly proud of what we created with our brilliant team but these are hard times, and so had to come the hardest of decisions. Thank you to all our customers, to have woken up so many times and read reviews that say ‘stand out restaurant in London’ is a feeling like no other. But, on the VERY bright side, we are incredibly excited for our next project at our lovely Fitzrovia site, we will be announcing details in the coming months. I guess all that is left to say is, get that manti while you can!🥰 And fear not @oklava_ldn is alive and well! 💪
The only pasta you should be eating on #worldpastaday Beef & Sour Cherry Manti @kyseri_ldn
If you could smell this you would fall in love immediately I reckon, I just did! On from tonight @oklava_ldn Brisket, Feta & Garlic Pide 🤤
In front of house briefing a few days ago I ended talking about this dessert by saying ‘I think this is the best dessert I’ve ever created’ They said... ‘but what about the Künefe?’ I said... ‘I didn’t invent the Künefe but I invented this one’ ‘I think, maybe, possibly 🤔’ It’s one of my absolute favourites anyway and you should get down to @oklava_ldn to try it! Warm Spiced Rice Pudding, Pear Sorbet, Wild Pear Ice-Cream, Hazelnut & Caramelised White Chocolate Crumble 🧡 to @natoora for those little Wild Sorbe Pears!
It’s an original menu item @oklava_ldn It’s back. It’s crispy. It’s oozy. It’s sweet ‘n’ sour. It’s even smokey. It’s the Baked Lamb Fat Potatoes, Fried Egg, Hellim & Sherry Vinegar Caramel👏 Welcome back baby, I’ve missed you.

London’s BEST Iskender, that’s what you all tell me, can’t lie I totally agree 😁 Lamb & Beef Döner, sitting on top of grilled flatbread dressed with slow cooked tomato-chilli sauce, yoghurt and a final flourish of nut brown butter, what’s not to love? Only available ... @oklava_ldn ✖️ @arcadelondon
