Fried chicken near Downtown Ottawa

Fried chicken in Downtown Ottawa

Kozhi is downtown Ottawa fried chicken — our Centretown kitchen on Somerset Street West is walkable from the office towers, hotels, and theatres of the core. It's a natural for an after-work feast, a pre-show dinner, or a client table: share the Super Kozhi feast, order a round of cocktails, and let the champagne close the night. Takeout is ready Tuesday through Sunday for downtown pickup.

Every plate starts the same way — brined long, dredged twice, fried hot — then finished in your choice of Gochujang or Ghee Roast. Come in for the five-course Super Kozhi feast, or order takeout for pickup at 820 Somerset Street West.

After work, before the show

Downtown Ottawa empties out at five and Kozhi fills up — we're the short walk west that turns the end of a workday into something worth staying out for. The room takes an after-work crowd well: share the feast, order a round of cocktails, and let a bottle of champagne stretch the night past the last email. It makes an easy client table too — central, unstuffy, and memorable.

Catching a show at the NAC or a game downtown? Come early and eat properly first — the feast is paced for conversation, and takeout is ready Tuesday through Sunday if the night's on a clock. Hotels, offices, and theatres are all within reach of 820 Somerset.

Whether it's a Tuesday debrief that runs long or a Friday that earns a bottle of champagne, Kozhi is the downtown fried-chicken table that treats a weeknight like it counts — central, warm, and built for lingering a little past closing time downtown.
