It's been a while since we went, and I don't remember specific foods, but we were wowed by the flavors and atmosphere. We sat at a table on the floor which was fun.

Turkuaz has the best desserts in town! My fiancé and I frequently go here for birthdays and anniversaries. The waitstaff is always friendly and helpful. The entrees are delicious and well priced, but make sure you save room for tiramisu and pineapple cake! Always a great experience!

I had been meaning to try Turkuaz out especially since one of my close friends recommended it to me. We started off by sharing a yaglama (appetizer) which was really good! The only thing I didn't love about it was the yogurt dressing on top, it tasted a little sour but overall it was pretty good and the bread was amazing. I ordered a chicken gyro that came with a red lentil soup. The red lentil soup was delicious. It had a nice kick to it but wasn't overly spicy. The chicken gyro was also good. The tzatziki sauce on this wasn't as sour tasting as the yogurt dressing on the appetizer. I'm not sure if they were both tzatziki but I enjoyed what was on my gyro! I will say that the chicken needed a little more flavor or something, but overall it was enjoyable. They have tables and then an area where you can sit on the ground and eat which is pretty cool. I would recommend for the experience!

Turkuaz is awesome. Great people and great food. Extremely hospitable and they go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your experience. The red lentil soup is a great starter, the yaglama is delicious, and the Turquaz kebab is my favorite entree but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Must try if you're in Bloomington.

Amazing, the lentil soup and veggie combo pide were fantastic. Very good service. Cozy place. Loved it. The Turkish tea was also exactly like the tea I had in Turkey.

My wife and I loved this restaurant. I went to turkey 17 years ago, before we were married, and took her here to show her the kind of food we ate. Everything was good; really good. The Muçver, the Pide, the Lamb Gyro, even the red Lentil Soup and black Turkish tea (in the glasses like I used to use). The Baklava was dry but really good tasting regardless.Dietary restrictions: They have halal/kosher options and lots of them. Gluten-free is gonna be harder, but still available.Parking: Limited parking spaces, but free, for the whole building, quite close. No complaints, but if the restaurant were full it'd be really difficult to find parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love sitting on the cushions on the floor at the low tables.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no stairs, easy to get a wheelchair in at a table.
