“Amazing Turkish brunch!”
Amazing Turkish brunch!! Really delicious food and cozy atmosphere! Thank you, Furkan and team for serving us today! Will definitely be back soon! (p. s. Would be awesome if you guys had multi-level plates to fit all the beautiful dishes, like the tea party ones, I guarantee it will be worth it! :)

I met a friend for lunch at Turquoise Cafe, and I look forward to visiting again soon. The food was terrific, the service impeccable, and I appreciated that we could take our time and didn't feel rushed. We opted for all vegetarian dishes and loved every one! The artichoke dish was especially delicious as was the vegetarian pide. Well, everything was excellent!
