Made in Berlin-Neukölln
Guests sit together around the open grill and watch the grill master prepare Adana, Çöp Şiş or Pirzola.
Traditionally, the Ocakbaşı was made of copper. More than 25 years ago, back then still as Koca & Igac GbR, we started making it from stainless steel and fitting it with LED lights, turning it into a modern centrepiece of oriental hospitality. Today, The Ocakbaşı can be found in many restaurants in Berlin.

Custom-made with a certificate of conformity
Every Ocakbaşı is custom-made in our workshop in Berlin-Neukölln. On request, we build the grill based on the requirements of DIN 18852:2022-10 (Commercial kitchen appliances – Frying and grilling appliances – Requirements and testing).
As a manufacturer in Germany (Berlin), we issue you a certificate of conformity for this. It is handed over on completion of the work.
Operation and permits
For commercial use only
The grill station is intended exclusively for commercial use. It must be used in compliance with local fire safety and occupational safety regulations.
Installation and cleaning
The grill station must be operated on a level, fireproof surface and cleaned regularly.
Extraction system required
Operation is only permitted in conjunction with a suitable extraction system that meets the legal requirements for commercial kitchens. The ventilation system must have been installed and connected by a qualified specialist company.
Permits for indoor use
The necessary permits must be obtained in advance before operating the charcoal grill indoors. They depend on the location and the type of grill and have to be clarified for each project individually.
Distance to combustible components
Keep at least 40 cm away from combustible components, furniture and cladding, unless local regulations or the district chimney sweep require otherwise. The counter and cladding directly at the appliance must be made of non-combustible material.
Carbon monoxide
Charcoal produces carbon monoxide. We recommend a CO alarm in the dining area.
The unit must not be put into operation without proper ventilation.
