Turkuaz Restaurant

“A beautiful and very peaceful Turkish restaurant. The food has an authentic Turkish flavor that makes you feel as if you are in Turkey, with the lovely decor, music, and delicious dishes, all in the heart of New York. The service was excellent and highly professional. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area. A special thanks to Oyku and Cem for their outstanding hospitality and professional service. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely visit again.”

“We had a fantastic meal at Turkuaz and will definitely be coming back. A special thank you to Oyku for her wonderful service—she was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout the evening. The food was exceptional from start to finish. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and incredibly tender, the meatball clay pot stew was rich and full of flavour, and the chicken shish was juicy and beautifully seasoned. To finish, the rice pudding was creamy and comforting, while the baklava was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Excellent food, great atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommend Turkuaz to anyone looking for authentic Turkish cuisine in NYC.”

“I normally don’t leave reviews, but I felt compelled to write one after our experience tonight. I may not be pronouncing his name correctly, but our server, whom we remember as Jasus, was an absolute gentleman—extremely polite, genuinely kind, and always welcoming with a warm smile. His positive attitude and professionalism truly stood out. He made us forget the stress of the day and allowed us to fully enjoy our evening. The way he carries himself reflects very well on the restaurant. I especially wanted to thank him for making us feel so comfortable and valued. Thank you, Jasus, for making our night so enjoyable. I truly hope you continue to be recognized and appreciated—you deserve it.”
