" Brought my family to Turkuaz and we all had a great experience! Everyone loved their food. I tried the chicken kebab which was super flavorful and served with a fresh salad. The ambiance is cozy, though we had to wait a bit for a table. However, the service was excellent, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of during our wait. We’ll definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I can’t believe I just discovered Turkuaz. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. The grilled meats were succulent and seasoned to perfection. I would highly recommend trying the lentil soup as it was one of the best I’ve had. Plus, the owner takes his time to talk with customers which adds a special touch to the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried numerous Turkish restaurants, I can confidently say that Turkuaz is at the top of my list. The freshness of the ingredients is apparent with each bite. I ordered the Lahmacun and it was perfection—thin, crispy, and topped just right. It's also nice to see a store offering authentic Turkish groceries. I left with some spices too! Don't miss this place if you're a fan of Turkish cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Turkuaz last weekend. The service could improve as it was quite slow even though the restaurant wasn't fully packed. The food was great though! Affordable prices for large portions! I loved the stuffed grape leaves, a good appetizer to start. Overall, I think I’d give this place another chance given the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice little spot with a great selection of authentic Turkish dishes. I enjoyed the Chicken Adana, which was juicy and very flavorful. The staff was friendly, although the service could have been slightly faster. There's a cozy feel that makes you want to linger a bit longer, but the wait for seating is a reality sometimes.

" I keep coming back to Turkuaz because the food is just that good! Their chicken kebabs are tender and flavorful, and the homemade sauces they serve are a great addition. The ambiance can feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours although the warmth from the owner and staff definitely makes up for it. I appreciate the attention to detail in their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant time at Turkuaz! The food was delicious and authentic, which is what I was looking for. The Adana kebab didn’t disappoint, served with a side of fresh bread that was baked on-site. The atmosphere is cozy, and even though the place is small, it has a charming character to it. Will return to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)
