OUR STORY
For Chef Oz (Ozlem Oguzcan-Cranston), the owner of Masa Midtown, welcoming people to her restaurant is her "biggest joy." A Brooklyn native whose family hails from Turkey and Crimea, Chef Oz trained at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. But, as her mother always said, "You will never learn in cooking school what you'll learn in your mom's kitchen."
Masa Midtown's recipes are culled from the meals Chef Oz's mother cooked in their Brooklyn kitchen, dishes that graced their communal table.
In early March 2020, the Masa location at 666 Broadway in Midtown Kingston opened as a catering company and event space. Though successful, the Covid pandemic quickly put an end to that iteration. Quickly switching gears, Chef Oz turned the space into a take-out restaurant which cemented Masa in the community as a mainstay. Over the past few years, it has drawn patrons from all over the Hudson Valley looking for authentic, fresh and inviting Turkish cuisine.
