“Recommendation: don't go when they are super busy - go on a quiet night and you will be plased for a few reasons: 1) the service will be great, 2) the food will be great, and 3)if you are lucky sometimes they will give you their UNBELIEVABLE chocolate vol”

Great, great, great food!. This is some of the best Turkish food in Chicago, and very reasonably priced. But the restaurant itself is kind of small, and can be very crowded. I recommend you call ahead to make a reservation.
First time Turkish and LOVED it!. I was there for the brunch one Sunday last winter but only now decided to write a review. This was my first time having Turkish food and I loved everything about the experience. The place is cozy and the old guy who was our waiter was super attentive and fun. The food was fabulous. I was sure going in that there would be at least one thing I didn't like but I was completely wrong! Everything was tasty and served at just the right time. I think I'm a Turkish bread @ddict now, too! This is a great place for a casual, very tasty Sunday brunch with friends or family.…
Worst Customer Service. We, me and my wife, live about 130 miles south of Chicago, and we were visiting Chicago that weekend for a festival. However, one of the attractions in Chicago for us is the Turkish restaurants. So we did not hesitate to drive for about 30 minutes to Turquoise Restaurant since we had not been there before. We did not have any reservations, and we were told we would need to wait 15-30 minutes since they had a lot of reservations. We accepted that and started waiting. About 5 minutes after we started waiting, another family of 5 came. They did not have a reservation either and they were told to wait like us. They also accepted, but kept insisting on a waitress they probably knew there to get one of the tables at which the guests were done with their food, and were waiting for the check. They were given the table before us and we were told that we will need to wait another 5 minutes for our table. Witnessing all this double standard and disrespect for the customer we naturally did not wait and left for another restaurant, after making sure that the waitress understands why we were leaving. They tried to make up excuses that did not make any sense. I think such places should be punished for such behavior, and I do not recommend this restaurant to anybody.…
Great vegetarian selection. My husband and I decided to try Turquoise because of their ample vegetarian selection. We went on Saturday night at about 8:00 (without a reservation) and had no problem getting seated. Our appetizer (delicious zucchini pancakes) and main courses were great, as was the bread. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. My one complaint is that the tables were a little close together. We had the wait staff rushing past us all night, which was a bit unnerving. Otherwise, it was great, and I would definitely go back again.…
Cozy and Delicious for Sunday Night Dinner, Inviting Atmosphere. A friend of mine and I were scouting for a random restaurant recently and stumbled on Turquoise (Cafe). While there wasn't a host/hostess manning their station, overall the service was great. They seated us immediately at 8 PM, brought our silverware, the tasty carrot and yogurt appetizer and took our drink orders. Come here prepared to eat, they have generous portions - especially with their appetizers. I was shocked to see the HUGE pile of mussels they brought us for our first appetizer. This is a great first date place - it's not too loud or quiet, and the overall atmosphere is warm and inviting. Oh - check out their wine list - it's unbelievably well-priced.…
