“ Great combination of Mediterranean options. Plenty of meat and seafood entrees. The deep fried camembert was delicious. High quality food for the price. Good place for a date night or small group outing. Plenty of shareable items but still intimate vibe. Family run restaurant. ”
“ Lovely atmosphere! The owner is very welcoming! My friend arranged for a surprise birthday dinner for me and the staff and owner made it more special! A nice place to have dinner! The food was really good! Definitely recommend! ”
“ Even though this place is fairly new, it deserves to be so much busier. It's a hidden gem in a city full of soul less chain restaurants. The food is expertly cooked by a talented chef, and most importantly, his care and attention to detail shines through, from the presentation, to the quality of the ingredients and delicious flavours, you won't find bought in frozen food here. Really good value and attentive service. I've lived in Norwich for over 40 years and have tried most of the restaurants over the years so I'm always happy to see quality establishments in the city. A highly recommended, independent restaurant, easily as good as the other Turkish restaurants in the city which deserves a try. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ We had a lovely meal celebrating my mother in law's 80th birthday. The food was excellent particularly the seafood dishes. Staff were friendly and helpful. They went over and above bringing out desserts with candles for the birthday girl. Thank you for helping us celebrate in style! We had a lovely evening. ”
“ I’ve visited this restaurant twice now, and both times have been absolutely wonderful experiences. The service is consistently warm and friendly; everyone who works there is polite, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The food is delicious and generously portioned, making every meal feel like great value. One thing I love is that they serve a free, tasty starter before you even place your order—a lovely touch that sets a positive tone for the meal. One of my visits was on Mother’s Day, and a staff member, whom I believe is the owner, went above and beyond to make it special. They surprised my family and me with an extra-special starter and gifted us a selection of generous, delicious desserts on the house. It truly made the occasion memorable. I’ve attached images of all the free gifted starters and desserts. The way the food is made and presented shows that a lot of effort goes into every dish. The restaurant's hygiene is also well-maintained, which contributes to the overall great experience. The food was also served in a reasonably time, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent food, amazing hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere! ”
“ After reading all the bad reviews, I honestly didn’t want to go, but my friend wanted to try it. I’m so glad we did! The service was really fast, the food was good with big portions, and the staff was nice. Plus, dessert was on the house, which made our day. I’ll definitely come again! ”
“ Fantastic meal and Excellent service, great atmosphere too. Absolutely loved the garlic prawns and mussels as starters. The main course OMG was amazing with everything nicely presented, thank you Turkuaz for the lovely dinning experience ”
“ Went with a friend for a midweek dinner after work and I think I can honestly say it was the best service I’ve had at a restaurant in the UK in memory. We were served by such a kind and humble man (the owner?) and had the most relaxed, chilled, well looked after, attended-with-kindness experience. I will definitely be going back and will recommend to everyone. The food was yummy and he took care to explain to me what the dish was I was ordering. So kindly brought us a little dessert as we were paying, wanting nothing in return. If you are looking for kind, genuine service and experience, with good food I cannot recommend this place more highly. And thinking back, yummy hummus, bread and olives for start too! ”
