Turkuaz takes its name from the turquoise colored sea in Turkey and Mediterranean and brings both a culinary experience and an ethnic one to NYC. We started twenty years ago, in the Upper West Side and moved to Midtown West in 2019. Our food is healthy and flavorful, with a lot of Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean delicacies, our service is friendly and professional and our atmosphere is romantic and transporting. Our location is ideal for theater crowd and tourists. Whether you are on your own and are looking for a quick bite, or you want to spend time with your sweetheart or friends, you will have a great time at Turkuaz. If you are one of our previous patrons, please come and check us out at our new locations. If we have never met, try us out, we have been in this business long and strong and have built a good brand. Enjoy!

Some new dishes. The appetizers can fill you up and make you smile. And the desserts, especially the Baklava and the Kunefe, are to die for!

Service was very friendly and attentive. We were there pre - show and were able to leave with plenty of time for our performance. Appetizer spreads were good. Fish was somewhat dry.

I think the restaurant is great. The only problem is that they only accept cash tips. In this era a lot of people don’t carry cash with them . I wanted to leave a great tip to my server who was great , but couldn’t because I did have no cash with me. They should have an ATM machine on site or to change the policy all together so people can add the tip on the credit call. It really ruin your dinner when you want to tip good service and can’t because the restaurant makes it very difficult and doesn’t have an ATM on site .
