Best Authentic Restaurants in Rochester

We recently celebrated my dad’s birthday at Turkuaz Restaurant in Rochester, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic evening. The food was absolutely outstanding—every dish was packed with authentic Turkish flavors, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. The mixed grill was a highlight, bursting with tender, juicy meats, and the meze selection was fresh and flavorful. The homemade baklava was the perfect sweet ending to our meal! The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, ensuring everything was just right and even surprising us with a birthday treat for my dad. Their attention to detail and friendly service truly made a difference. If you’re looking for a place with delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service, Turkuaz is the place to go. We will definitely be returning!

Manta was very hospitable. The food was lovely and we enjoyed the special dessert a lot. Unfortunately one table was exceptionally noisy and made it difficult to have a conversation. Best to request customers to be courteous of others.

Very well looked after and lovely food - we always use this restaurant and will be back again.
