"This Turkish restaurant is often full of so many couples the only things that rival it are swinger conventions and Noah's Ark. You can find people side-by-side on a long couch digging into crispy, peppery lamacun while some longtime Roscoe Village residents on a double date split a bottle of wine and tender beef-stuffed manti swimming in a zesty tomato sauce. But despite its bonafide date spot status, Turquoise is a solid spot for friends who want a bunch of grilled chicken, beef kabobs, and some baklava." - john ringor
"Turquoise’s long dining room is often full of so many couples, the only thing that rivals this Turkish restaurant is Noah’s Ark. You can find people side-by-side on a long couch digging into crispy, peppery lamacun or some Roscoe Village neighbors splitting a bottle of wine and tender beef-stuffed manti in tomato sauce while on a double date. But despite its bonafide date spot status, Turquoise is a solid choice for a sit-down dinner even if you’re not looking for romance. It works just as well if you want to eat a bunch of grilled chicken and beef kabobs with friends and round out your night with some baklava and Turkish coffee." - John Ringor
"A long-established Roscoe Village Turkish restaurant widely regarded as one of Chicago’s most popular, known for a meat-forward menu and high standards set by its founder, Mustafa Guler, before being sold to its current owner in 2017. The spot's emphasis on hearty, meat-centric dishes contrasts with the vegetable-forward experience the Wicker Park chef brings to the new project; that chef now helps oversee this Roscoe Village operation along with the group's other venues." - Ashok Selvam
"This Turkish restaurant serves classic dishes, including mucver, imam bayildi, lahmacun, and more. The space itself has a timeless cafe ambience, with doors that open onto a large and inviting patio. And yes, there are plenty of delicious kebabs." - Brandon Summers-Miller
"This Turkish restaurant is available for carryout and delivery." - adrian kane
