   Outstanding experience ⭐️ We booked a table for 17:00 The best time as there were not so many people in. All the business starts at around 19:00 So we have our quieter family time together with kids and we can talk and laugh without all the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant. Which was extremely busy by the time we were leaving. Food is delicious and the best review is from a non lamb eater who tried the lamb and said wow 🤩 if you didn’t talk me it’s a lamb I would not know as it usually has that distinguished smell. I am not sure if it was a halal meat or the cook who did great job with all those dishes. Ambiance just perfect, dimmed lighting, table lights that you can adjust to your liking, table ready and set for the guests. All pre booked. Staff so attentive and a lot of waiters as its super busy restaurant. When we were leaving there was so many people we have to wait for a it to pay (which we don’t mind) as all the people in the restaurant decided to order at that moment 😂 We have a great laugh (when paying) with the master waiter/supervisor/manager (not sure who he is in the restaurant but he takes the money 😂 ). Apparently he eat all the baklava from the desert menu so we have to try other desserts and need to get back for the baklava. So please keep him away from the baklava. It’s the best desert that you must have after a meal follow by Turkish coffee or tea. We have ordered the shared plates as starters and main which shops feed 3-4 people. We were 4 adults and 2 teens (15-14) and a baby. And we have no space in our bellies for deserts. Of course there were loads of drinks and Mocktails which I blame for. But we have managed few cakes too. Next time we will not eat for a week to order that dish again! 😂 Kids checked the alcoholic drinks online (of course they can only look, no drink) and they are fabulous art! Moctails were fantastic I recommend the Pinacolada on ice no frozen. And that also the beauty of this restaurant they listen. ❤

   Saturday evening busy as you’d expect Booked a table , was confirmed… admittedly arrived 18 mins late table was gone staff were unapologetic, the response I got Sat night is a busy night and policy is to keep table for 10 mins only … asked me to wait with my family for 30 mins may be longer depending . So I left Can’t comment on service or food though I am sure others may have found it lovely but overall my experience was rubbish…. So thanks for nothing

   Although the food is good we went on a Friday night where there was a belly dancer. It would have been nice to be able to eat our food in peace before the loud music came on and people dancing around us. We weren’t able to converse after this. Our table was an early booking at 7.30pm. It would be better if the entertainment was later to allow those that want enjoy that can and let us who want to watch and chat be able to do that.

   It’s ok but very few Veggie meals. Booked a table but didn’t need to & they didn’t seem to bother to mark our name off to confirm we’d arrived. Menu was far too big & loaded with meat dishes. Was expecting a place where you could come for a romantic meal but it’s not that sort of a place. The seating was very comfortable however but we didn’t stay long enough to enjoy it. I chose wrongly for us & but I’m sure many people will enjoy it pre cinema visit.

   Very nice restaurant the look is amazing only one thing though found it to be very noisy we couldn’t hear each other having to shout environment was rather too noisy we were out on a date and yeah it was a bit much for a quite meal the music levels was too high we had to leave early so we can have a decent conversation. It would be nice if the music could just be in the background to give a calm atmosphere. The prawns were slightly under cooked my husband was sick after the meal the rest of the meal was great .service waiters seemed confused on who is serving what table kept coming with drinks to wrong table asking if we ordered overall nice people took a long time to take payment and we wanted to leave

   We enjoyed our meal at Turkuaz. It was quite expensive but the food was great. We found the music to be quite loud which made it difficult to chat, and there were lots of noisy birthday celebrations with clapping waiters. Our bill was wrong but it was quickly rectified. Overall yes, we’d go back.

   Nice atmosphere was a busy Friday night. Staff were fab and friendly. Food was just ok, mixed meze for 4 came with just one small bread. Chicken supreme was bland but had tons of chicken where my husbands kebab was a small portion!! Had run out of lots of deserts.

    Restaurant was busy. We were expecting some live music and / or traditional dancing to create a better ambiance as shown on the promotional video. Food was great although a little overpriced. Drinks are expensive. Service was ok, staff were pleasant enough but not very attentive!
