Turkuaz

This place was nicely decorated inside. Simple and tasteful. The service was nice. The food was good. I Like the fact that they don’t force gratuity on you. It wasn’t pushed on you. That was really nice. Definitely check this place if you are craving Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine in Hells Kitchen!

Had a wonderful meal here prior to a Broadway show. Very close and convenient to many theaters. Very nice atmosphere. Waitstaff were very attentive. Appetizers were excellent. Main courses were delicious. Dessert was delicious! Will definitely be back.

The dumplings were amazing. We had the Sultan’s Plate for 2 as our main course. It was mouthwatering. The atmosphere was excellent. Kept looking around to admire the details. I would say this was high end for a date and the prices, at least from what we ordered, matched the taste. Totally worth it!

The food was good but nothing to write home about. I’m glad I went but there are tons of places to eat and though this is a good option if you are close by, it’s nothing to go out if your way for. Good food. Nice serving staff. Overall, meh.

We needed a pre theater restaurant today and as luck would have it we found Turkuaz, 310 W 53rd St. Although we arrived early, we were graciously welcomed in by the owner who allowed us to sit at a table and asked if we wanted drinks. He brought us wine, menus and took time to go over the entrees with us. We started with delicious smokey Baba ghanouj with warm pita bread. Followed by Turkuaz Shish, small tender marinaded lamb cubes on skewers with rice and salad. Moist, delicious and perfectly pink in the middle. Highly recommend!! My husband had a lamb and okra dish that he enjoyed. It was an

The guy who's name is “Jesus” is the one who served us. I liked his hosting. He took so much care of us, and I am still amazed by the Level of Hospitality and The place overall. The taste of the food is fantastic and authentic. This is the place I will always come to when I am in New York.

Great food, excellent service and the personal touch from the restaurant owner who makes each customer special is just perfect. I highly recommend the Meze 👌🏽

It is an all-round experience not just a restaurant but a great atmosphere, amazing food and superb service. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. Thank you for making our meal a memorable night out x

We had a great experience at Turkuaz! Our server, Jesus was awesome and he took such great care of us! The food was delicious as well. It is some of the best Turkish food I have had here in the US. I will definitely be coming back!!

Saturday night it was busy, reserved table for 3 at 7pm. Food was good , ordered the lamb Adana kebab , chicken shish kebab and sultan delight . For appetizers we ordered cheese sticks and zucchini pancake. All tasted perfectly cooked! Only thing is they’re super short staffed for a Saturday. Poor guy who attended to us was running around sitting people, taking orders, running tables , billing people and handling the register . Price is expensive for the food. Service started slow, tables aren’t ready. no cutlery but food was already served, never gave water .

Honestly, you're paying for the ambiance and not really the food. I got the lamb chops, but they had no salt or any other seasonings on it. The salad was more flavorful than the lamb was tbh.
I was really disappointed because it is an expensive restaurant so I would expect more.
The service was great though and the interior design was lovely.

Turkauz restaurant has become a haven for me in the city. I get takeout, have gone on a few dates and had one large gathering of friends at this spectacular place. My favorite meat dishes are prepared with time and care. The dishes have so much flavor- my personal favorite include all the lamb dishes and the stuffed grape leaves (home made). There are different atmospheres to choose from, a well-lit cosy backyard area, and a calm and collected inside area. The hosts are very personable and remember familiar faces. The owner particularly cares deeply about the culinary experience of his guests.

Lovely food, varied menu, and excellent friendly service. Feel at home there because staff are so welcoming and hospitable.

Thank you for making my birthday celebrations so special. Everybody enjoyed the food and were taken aback with the generous portion sizes. The belly dancing and birthday dancing with the maitre-d was an added bonus. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely and cozy place. Great food. Friendly staff. We have been visiting this place for years and we have great family memories there.Totally recommended by us.

I have been dining at Turkuaz for over 15 years, always great good, great service it's a family fun business with authentic Turkish cuisine.
