1st, your atmosphere is wonderful, but exuberant fellow patrons made conversation difficult. WORTH IT every way! My husband, son & I savored every morsel & the wonderful food eased our spirits. And I just found a word re: our table person, Shahada, royalty. She is radiant.
I’ve been part of the Bloomington community for five years, and Cafe Turkuaz has become my absolute favorite place to eat, truly the best food in town. The authenticity is unreal. With family living in Istanbul, I know what real Turkish cooking tastes like, and Cafe Turkuaz captures it perfectly.
11/10 meal and atmosphere. Highly recommend trying the aryan / doogh to drink with your meal. It's the perfect compliment for anything cheesy or meaty. The flatbread (pide) and pita were magical - perfect texture, and if you listen and ask nicely, you can pick up a few words in Turkish and Farsi to go with your food. I will absolutely visit again the next time I'm in Bloomington.

Cafe Turkuaz offers a delightful dining experience with freshly made, authentic Turkish cuisine. The Baba Ghanoosh, kebabs, sarma, lamb pide, and dish turkuaz are praised for their exceptional taste, quality, and for being hot and fresh. The service is excellent, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who provide helpful recommendations. The sitting area is really nice and the atmosphere is great, not too high-end. While parking can be challenging, the overall experience is great, earning the restaurant high praise from satisfied customers.
