    This was our first time at Turquoise and are we glad we went! My SIL was in town and wanted to head to the city for dinner to celebrate her birthday. The 6 of us got to the restaurant on time for our reservation and we were seated promptly. We have all been to many middle eastern restaurants, but the menu here was much more interesting than a typical middle eastern restaurant. For starters, we ordered the grilled octopus, fried calamari, eggplant salad, Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza), and the braised Lemon Artichoke bottoms. EVERYTHING was very good. We especially liked the Turkish Pizza and the eggplant, which both had very unique flavors and were very authentic. For dinner everyone enjoyed their meals. My husband especially enjoyed the Hunker Begendi and my son loved the Manti - both are dishes we have not seen or tried elsewhere. The mussels were large and the broth was very flavorful - a few more would have been nice. The lamb chops were cooked well and the plate was a full meal. The only disappointment was the beet salad, which would have paired better with a balsamic dressing rather than the raspberry vinaigrette. The strawberry shortcake dessert topped of an excellent meal. I would definitely recommend Turquoise Cafe!!

    Thanks for visiting us, Lisa! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great first experience at Turquoise. We're glad you enjoyed our unique menu and authentic flavors. We appreciate your feedback on the grilled octopus, fried calamari, Lahmacun, and Manti. We always aim to please our guests with every dish and we're sorry if the beet salad didn't fully complement the flavors. We'll certainly consider your feedback for future menu adjustments. We're glad you enjoyed your dinner and the Hunker Begendi and your son's Manti. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    This place has really gone down hill used to be one of my favorite places. Terrible service mediocre food and expensive. I was served cold mussels took the waiter about 30 minutes to even get back to our table and that’s after we waived him down which I hate doing but had to. It Took another 30 minutes to replace my mussels with a $32 salad. By that point everyone else in my party had already finished their food. I know things happen but it was Just a disappointing birthday dinner. I don’t think I will go back since this is the second bad experience in a row🙁

    We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience at Turquoise did not meet your expectations. We always aim to provide warm hospitality, timely service, and high-quality dishes, and it's disappointing to know we fell short. We apologize for the delay in service and the issue with the mussels. Your feedback has been shared with our team and will help us improve. We also kindly ask guests to consider the hardworking staff who have been dedicated to this family-owned establishment since 2002. For clarification, we do not have a $32 salad unless a protein is added, which adjusts the price. We appreciate your input and hope to serve you better in the future.

    The food was delicious for the most part. The menemen was flavorful. And the apricot jam was delightful. Something more traditional than french would've been great. The bread was definitely not any kind of assortment, just regular restaurant bread. The staff, while warm and welcoming, seemed a little harried and disorganized despite being light to moderately busy.

    Have been to Turquoise prior to last night and had an enjoyable evening. Last night was a different story. We were RUSHED!! Before we could finish our appetizers, they brought our entrees. By the time I finished my appetizer, my entree was no longer hot. Definitely a disappointment!
