Major Disappointment
Service was quite neglectful requiring waitress-seeking throughout. Watching many others seated after you getting served well before you is never pleasant. Each course took forever to arrive and, not surprisingly, hot items were not hot upon arrival. Lovely atmosphere, but that was just about the only feature that redeemed a restaurant that could have been so very much more.

Sublime!
I hosted a party on Saturday night at Turquaz that was 6 months in the making. When I walked in with my guests, not only was everything perfectly arranged, but I felt as though the staff were actually happy to be there and SO helpful. It was ( according to a number of my guests) one of the greatest times ever. From the decor, to the belly dancer and that food? SUBLIME! The manager was able to exceed my expectations with such competence and graciousness. I cannot say enough about the food. Fresh, classic, glorious Turkish cuisine. We didn't want to leave!!

A Turkish gift to the UWS
Four of us ate last nigh at Turkuaz for the first time. The food was all excellent -- two generous and very nice salads, a terrific mixed cold appetizer plate, and perfectly cooked chicken and lamb kabobs. Service was very attentive. The back room is a tad dark for my taste, but that is a minor reservation. I strongly recommend the restaurant And if you are not too glutinous, you will take home leftovers -- that is what I am eating for lunch as I type this.

Poor experience
Food was mediocre at best. The assorted cold appetizers were fine, but nothing better than I would expect to get packaged in bulk from Costco. Hot appetizers were greasy. Salmon was too smelly for me to contemplate tasting. Lamb patties were dry and chewy. Service stunk.

Great Turkish Food at Affordable Price
This is overall an excellent restaurant. Both the meat and veggie dishes and the appetizers are all delicious. My favorites are the stuffed cabbage and the lamb. Good dessert selection also (try the baklava ). Service is warm and accomodating and the decor is relaxaing and decorative. Great Sunday brunch at a very reasonable price. They also serve late for an after hours dinner. Highly recommended

Best Turkish Restaurant in NYC
I absolutely loved Turkuaz. The waiters & waitresses are very polite and professional and the food is awesome. Everything from their "mezes" to desserts were delicious. The decor is beautiful, very traditional. I can't wait to go back!
