This restaurant offers an incredibly authentic culinary journey. Each dish bursts with traditional flavors and spices, capturing the essence of Turkish cuisine. The portion sizes are just right, leaving you satisfied without being overwhelmed. I highly recommend this place. A delightful dining experience!
Lovely lunch in a lovely place! Excellent lentil soup with the right texture and a touch of spicy “heat,” a salad full of surprising textures and tastes, (with poached pears exquisitely combined the crunchy walnuts and crisp arugula and fennel greens, with house dressing that blended it all together beautifully), and a real treat of fresh baked bread and a complimentary spread that was an excellent appetizer.
This was my first visit!
The extensive menu obviously calls for additional visits and deeper exploration of things. Since I am from former Yugoslavia, (more specifically, from Sarajevo, Bosnia), many Turkish foods, sweets, and drinks are very familiar, and I love finding them in Roscoe Village!
All this combined with very pleasant reception by a friendly staff, gave the experience an additional glow! No doubt, I will be coming back!
Cagdas and Gokhan were 10/10! The service here is absolutely fabulous. They were so attentive, polite, warm, welcoming and kind. The food was stellar and reasonably priced. There’s a few reasons they’ve been in business for 25+ years… We will definitely be back! Thank you again!
Had an amazing Turkish brunch here. The authentic flavors were standout, especially the Menemen and Sucuk. Great atmosphere and the service and staff(Manager, Cagdas) was top-notch. Highly recommend for a genuine taste of Turkish cuisine and hospitality.
Very clean and quaint place. Attentive and politie staff. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS FOOD. Excellent portions. I am stuffed with leftovers. Please step outside your normal food routines and give this place a try!
My first time having Turkish food, and wow, this place is incredible! Lovely ambience with live piano music on Friday nights. The cocktails are delicious, but I highly recommend splitting the wine flight with a friend - at 4 full pours for only $28, its an absolute steal!
You HAVE to order the whipped feta with olives. It's so creamy and delicious! The seafood tagliatelle featured well cooked shrimp and salmon in a creamy tomato based sauce. I really enjoyed it, though I think the star of the menu is definitely the kebabs.
For dessert, I recommend the kazandibi, which is a Turkish custard. My friends and I spent around $45/person including drinks and walked out stuffed. I can't wait to come back!

Came here two times one for their lunch and the other one for their brunch.
Nice interior design and Turkish style decorations.
However, I believe they could use some traditional plates and utensils to make their style look complete.
Their foods is good and it worths giving it a try.
We also love their hospitality and respectful behavior.
Was seated on the Bordeaux Lounge side for dinner Christmas Eve and the wine bar is so cozy and beautiful, food and service from Aydin was as amazing as we remember from last visit a year ago. Love the calm quiet and comfortable space where we enjoyed delicious cocktails and kebabs! Thanks as always for a great experience Turquoise! Tiramisu was perfect end to a great family dinner! Also shout out to William who bussed and made us laugh and was as lovely as the server!
Great food with a wide variety of choices on the menu. Good wine list as well. The portions were perfectly sized.
The lahm ajoun was to die for! Went with.a friend who is Turkish and got seal of approval for authenticity! The meza is really good to share and is delicious; you can get a sample of different popular foods
