I am so happy that I stumbled upon Turquoise! The food is amazing and the service is even better. The establishment is owned and operated by a lovely family. We felt very welcome as soon as we arrived. I would recommend the gyro, baklava, and pide (if they have it). Everything we had was homemade and wonderful tasting. They also have Turkish delights and other packaged sweets that were great to have later. We will be back again!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Stopped by for lunch and some dessert today, and oh my, was it delicious!! We split an Ultimate Combo, which includes gyro meat, rice, stuffed peppers and a salad; it was wonderful! There was no sharing dessert though, that my sweet baklava is all mine! An authentic place where the owners take pride if what they make, we’ll definitely be going back.

Good place for Turkish food. Items are daily fresh made, a bit expensive. The owner is a friendly and hospitable person. Loved their Dubai chocolate (pista) sundae. Veg combo (w pita) was around $16, and the sundae was around $12
