Very cozy place. Had a great meal there with friends. Enjoyed bottomless hot tea along with a satisfying meal. The lamb was cooked perfectly. Of the dishes we ordered the Kuzu Incik (Lamb Shank) was the highlight.

Great experience with the service and the food, I am Metro operator who happens to find this restaurant while walking around in the neighbor. I’ve ordered the food here twice and believe me it’s 10/10✅.

The food is fresh, made from scratch, and delicious! All the flavors were perfectly paired. The owner and staff are so welcoming and the service was excellent. What a gem in Madrona. Can't wait to come back.

We decided to go on a little road trip & stopped at Bistro Turkuaz for dinner. We were very impressed with the unique menu, display of our food & dinner was very tasty. We have a vegan in the group as well as meat eaters & we all were accommodated. Service was 100% - from start to finish. I highly recommend you try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!
Just had wonderful meal @ this bistro, walking in felt like coming home to a favorite aunt, greeting from chef/owner was warm & gracious, her dishes generous with authentic taste of her Turkish roots, lamb chops were grilled perfectly with seasoned rice, desserts homemade, looking forward to go back & try Balik fish!

A lovely place with the best owner/cook. The food is freshly made and balanced perfectly for an authentic taste of Turkey. The menu can accommodate anyone and the lamb dishes are best. Some of the best hummus in Seattle.
I wanted to love this place- nice staff, great atmosphere, one of my favorite cuisines- but the food was not good. Only had 2 things, but they were both bad. The few dolma were the size of chapsticks, served in tomato (?) sauce, and tasted of dirt. Actual dirt. The Traditional Borek, with spinach and feta, was clammy and cold, not crisp but pale and gummy; spinach inside was like paste and there was no feta at all. A tablespoon of hummus. A tablespoon of yogurt sauce. No pita, but I’d lost my desire to eat. And so expensive, too! Sorry.

We had a wonderful dinner at Bistro Turkuaz this evening.The lamb here is so tender and delicious!We loved the humus and that baklava, again the best ever hands down! Such great service and homey feel! You really gotta try this place!!!
In town for work and I’m so glad I was able to revisit Bistro Turkuaz after 5+ years. My sister used to bring me here.The food, atmosphere, and service were exactly as I remembered! Deanne is an absolute gem of a human being, and puts so much love into her food and business.I am overjoyed that she was able to step away from the kitchen to come chat for just a bit. This has always been such a cozy and welcoming place.Wishing you continued success, sweet lady. ❤️

Such a cute atmosphere and the food was delicious. The owner cooks every dish and it was fabulous. She came out to greet each guest. We had a lovely conversation and an amazing experience!

Service was pretty scarce even though the place was almost empty. Food was just awful, terrible. I never had a worse kabob in my life and even their olives tasted like they were gone bad. I ordered a soda and it tasted like their machine had run out of syrup too. Atmosphere was also awful, it was cold and the whole place smelled like mold. Don’t go to this place. Let it die. This place is a disgrace to Turkish food.

A quaint place with decent food of homemade quality but not worth such a long wait (over an hour wait for one kebab?!?!) for such small portions for such a price. Severely, severely understaffed although they are friendly.

DeAnne is one of the best chefs around, having an instinctual knowledge of what spices go together and in what amounts. She also knows Turkish food recipes like the back of her hand! To say that I enjoy what she has made for me over the years, both savory and sweet, would be an understatement, and she is a lovely, generous, wonderful person on top of her cooking abilities!Try anything with lamb and the baklava, and you will leave very happy -- and full!Kudos to you, DeAnne, and the wonderful restaurant you run! Your food is absolutely DELICIOUS!
