Wonderful live music on a beautiful summer evening. Each dish was large and shareable for our group. Excited to come back again soon.

Love the appetizers! Waitress was very sweet and attentive .

Quite disappointed with the dishes. Most of the items we ordered were not good representations of Turkish food. The kebab dish was overcooked (almost charred). The service was pretty good, our waitress tried to accommodate. We have been to Turquoise a number of times before and they have changed ownership with a new chef. Our latest experience does not come close to the level and quality of the food were in the past.

We were disappointed. We were there several years ago for New Year’s Eve and loved everything. Not so much this time—the mussels were a little fishy (sauce was delicious) and the salad was just a bunch of arugula with three pieces of pear. Thankfully, we added chicken kabob. The mushroom risotto was okay. Probably won’t return but there are lots of other restaurants on Roscoe. Sorry, wanted to like it.

What a gem this place is! From the decor, service and food, it was all exceptional! Everything we had, which included fried calamari, hummus, risotto to the kabob were all exemplary!

Reliably good food at this small neighborhood gem. Easy (free) street parking. Service was outstanding at this visit, our fourth. Suggest more vegetarian options - though small plates could easily make a great meal. We had a table outdoors, very pleasant despite idiots lighting fireworks nearby.

Excellent food and drinks. Very authentic style cuisine with hefty portions. Will definitely be coming back!

Delicious food and cute sidewalk twinkle lights atmosphere!

The food and restaurant were fine. The service was horrible. The waiter was nice but literally came to our table after waiting an hour between courses and said "please don't leave." We don't know whose fault it was (his or the kitchens) but it was inexcusable. They gave us complementary dessert but served it to us while we were still eating our entrees.

Most of our meal choices were good, but the artichoke app was bland and the flatbread was nothing like I expected. It was tasty but more of a stuffed bread vs a true flatbread.
