I would definitely recommend this place to you. If you love Turkish music and good food, this is the place to be. I loved their quick service. My friend and I wanted something light, so we ordered hummus, lentil soup, and Yalanji, which was surprisingly good. The shisha added a delightful touch to our experience. A special shout-out to Sehida for her amazing service, and it was first day of her work. Many congratulations.

We checked out this newly opened spot in North York, for our date night and it instantly became one of my favourite finds in the area. The space has a clean, upscale feel that’s still warm and comfortable — perfect for a relaxed dinner, a hangout, or even a small celebration. Their Mediterranean menu is impressive from the start. The Coco Salmon was rich and perfectly cooked, the mix pides were decent too , and the creamy lentil soup was comforting and surprisingly memorable. If you love seafood then coco charcoal fish is a must try recommendation. The shisha really stood out too — smooth, flavourful, and definitely some of the best I’ve tried in the area. It’s the kind of place where you can easily settle in for the night. With its layout and vibe, it’s also a great option for private events or group dinners.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that serves both style and substance, Cocobaz Lounge Restaurant in North York delivers in every sense. With its chic interior, glowing ambiance, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, this spot is where good taste meets good vibes — literally. We started with their signature sauces: creamy Hummus, smoky Baba Ganoush, and bold Muhammara, each one bursting with freshness and perfectly balanced spices. The Yalanjii, stuffed grape leaves with zesty rice and herbs, offered a tangy bite, while the Cigar Rolls were crisp, cheesy perfection; the kind of appetizer you can’t stop reaching for. Then came the showstopper: the Coco Kebab Platter. A feast for both the eyes and the taste buds, it featured tender, juicy skewers grilled to smoky perfection and served with all the classic Mediterranean accompaniments. Every element, from the seasoning to the presentation, felt thoughtfully done. Pair it all with one of their signature cocktails, and you’ve got a dining experience that balances elegance with heart. Between the food, the drinks, and the dreamy décor, Cocobaz Lounge isn’t just dinner: it’s an experience you’ll want to dress up for. Highly recommended!

Everything was good, great service all around by all staff, Sarah did a great job with her service. Ordered fries, were good, nothing out of this world. Gave me complimentary baba ghanoush, muhammara, and humus, all were delicious. Shisha was good, nothing to complain about other than wish they had more flavours to offer and heat management instead of foil Aesthetics were different than what was Instagram. Only main issue is parking is difficult in the plaza. Will be coming back if I’m in the area. Wish it had booths as well for seating, but more restaurant style.

Wow! What a place in the area! The food is delicious and the customer service is top-notch The atmosphere is cozy and pretty, with amazing Turkish coffee, and my friends really enjoyed the shisha. There’s no alcohol, but the vibe is great — just depends on what you’re looking for. The only small downside (but manageable) is that the pictures on the menu website don’t quite match the actual dishes served. For example, our dessert didn’t have the dramatic presentation shown online — but it still tasted fantastic!
