Reviews for Turquoise Cafe & Restaurant in Chicago, IL
My first time having Turkish food, and wow, this place is incredible! Lovely ambience with live piano music on Friday nights.... The cocktails are delicious, but I highly recommend splitting the wine flight with a friend - at 4 full pours for only $28, itsan absolute steal! You HAVE to order the whipped feta with olives. It's so creamy and delicious! The seafood tagliatellefeatured well cooked shrimp and salmon in a creamy tomato based sauce. I really enjoyed it, though I think the star of the menuis definitely the kebabs. For dessert, I recommend the kazandibi, which is a Turkish custard. My friends and I spent around$45/person including drinks and walked out stuffed. I can't wait to come back! Read more
Came here two times one for their lunch and the other one for their brunch. Nice interior design and Turkish style... decorations. However, I believe they could use some traditional plates and utensils to make their style look complete. Theirfoods is good and it worths giving it a try. We also love their hospitality and respectful behavior. Read more

My friend and I wanted to try a new place and I'm glad we came here. Service was attentive. Turqoise has a nice list of wines... and Turkish liquors. As far as food, the Lentil soup was so good! I'm inspired to make it this way at home. We also tried thepide with lamb and peppers (no cheese), lamb kebobs, and manti. Solid menu. Read more
I'm very picky when it comes to my kabobs so I hesitated when ordering the kabob platter. To my surprise, it was hands down one... of the best kabob dishes I have ever had. Everything from the chicken, beef, lamb to the shrimp and salmon were cookedperfectly, juicy and flavorful. Even the rice it came with was full of flavor. We also ordered some of the mucver and they weredelicious. Loved this place. Just a heads up that the menu is in fact halal but alcohol is served here. Read more
This place is so good! Well the service was good and the environment is nice. A bit loud but not too crowded and not too crazy.... We really enjoyed all of the food we got starting with the grilled calamari! So so good and the salad with it was awesome. I gotthe salmon and gnocchi which was also really good. My sister ordered the flatbread which was very large and could definitely bea meal (or more!). We got rice pudding and baklava for dessert which were both really good Read more
Fantastic choice for a meal! The atmosphere is great (it helps the weather is nice), and the food has all been amazing. We had... the stuffed eggplant and a few of the vegetarian appetizers, and they were all delicious. Perfectly flavored and balanced,everything from the bread and free spread with it to the eggplant and everything else is delicious. Kadir, our server, was kindand friendly. Highly recommend for a nice evening out. Read more
