Love the food and the sitting area but only compliant is the atmosphere. It's a silent and awkward and the lightening is too bright. If they had a little more ambience we would definitely be regulars. Please get some music playing and turn the lights down!

The food was delicious! We stopped in for Sunday lunch and had sarma (grape leaves), lamb pide and dish turkuaz. Every bit of it was hot, fresh and tasty and our server was knowledgeable about the food, friendly and provided excellent service. Would highly recommend!

Food was super delicious and fresh and even though it wasn’t big servings it was high quality and the service and sitting area was really nice. And they give a 5% discount for using cash!

Mediocre at best, and definitely not authentic Turkish cooking
Having read the positive reviews, I was looking forward to eating at Turkuaz. Ever since visiting Turkey years back, I have been a big fan of Turkish cuisine. But boy, what a disappointment.
First came some lentil soup, or should I say black pepper soup? Best to avoid.
Then, my partner for the meal ordered the hummus. I was wondering if we will get the Turkish style hummus or the classic Lebanese version. Instead, we received hummus with the wrong texture. Homemade, but in the bad sense of the word. It came with store bought pita bread.
Then came the Turkish entrees. The Kofta Kebab came as five meatballs which were too dense and lacking salt. We had one each, and the remaining three had no taker. It came with a little bit of rice and salad, and more of the store bought pita bread.
Next was a Lamb Pide. But instead of making it with the traditional dough, it was made with a yellowish something (some crepe or tortilla or something, with the wrong taste and texture). The filling was some thinly sliced mystery meat, not chunks of lamb. Was that from a factory processed gyro meat?. This was a real insult to Turkish cooking. So much so, that I feel compelled to add a photo I took last week at a Turkish bakery in Sunnyvale, CA, just to show what authentic Pide looks like.
At least the server was nice and tried his best. Probably a student that had never had Turkish food elsewhere, and doesn't know what he is serving.
Bottom line: for authentic Turkish food, you'll have to go out of town.

I have wanted to stop here for years. Certainly did not disappoint! The lamb was delicious. The atmosphere is great. It's not too high-end. It reminded me of a couple of places I visited in Istanbul.

Chill environment with tasty food, the soup was so flavorful and the lamb pide was delicious. Everything was promptly brought out and my water refilled frequently. Bathroom is large and clean. I would go back for sure ✌?

Authentic flavors transport you to Istanbul! This hidden gem serves up some of the best Turkish cuisine I've had outside of Turkey. The gyro is a must-try, featuring tender, well-seasoned meat wrapped in warm, fluffy pita bread with fresh vegetables and a tangy tzatziki sauce. For mains, the lamb kebabs are tender and beautifully spiced.
The warm, inviting atmosphere with traditional decor adds to the experience. You can choose between regular tables or opt for a more authentic experience with low, traditional Turkish tables. This touch of cultural authenticity enhances the overall dining ambiance.
Service is attentive without being intrusive. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.
Whether you're a Turkish food aficionado or new to the cuisine, this place is sure to delight. Can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!
Lovely people, absolutely delicious food. Very fresh and tasty.

Not a turkish restaurant. I mean technically it is but food is not. You have been warned. Don't order baklava as well.

My mother and I came and it was not busy at all, so our service was great.
We got two appetizers, a gyro, and a pide. I think the appetizers were amazing but a bit pricer than i would expect! ~10 dollars each which is about the price of some of the entrees. The samras were my favorite.
The gyro was amazing, but the tzatziki sauce was all at the front of the gyro, so unless you open it up and spread it, it'll be gone with the first few bites. That's not normal from my experience, but if it is traditional my mistake.
The pide was also good!
