  Honestly some of the best Turkish food I’ve tried in North Atlanta lately. The Mixed Turkuaz grilled was juicy and flavorful & well prepared. Also mix appetizer plate was amazing. You can really taste the quality in every bite. No question great spot for traditional flavors. Definitely coming back.

  Absolutely worth the stop. We tried this new family-owned Turkish restaurant today and were genuinely impressed. The lavash bread is made fresh in-house, and it may honestly be the best I’ve ever had. Soft, warm, pillowy, and somehow still slightly chewy with the perfect texture. It completely elevated every bite. The grilled meats were incredibly flavorful, tender, and clearly prepared with care. Everything tasted fresh, from the crisp vegetables to the sauces and seasonings. You can tell this is food made from scratch, not rushed or mass-produced. The Turkish tea was also wonderful and felt like such a welcoming touch. Beyond the food, the hospitality stood out just as much. Warm, kind service and a restaurant that already feels like a hidden gem. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend supporting this local family-owned spot.

  The food was tasty, but the servings are super small. For example, the beef kebabs are $22 for four pieces of beef about an inch in diameter, a half scoop of rice, and a piece of kavash bread. I'm not a big eater by any means, but even I wasn't full when the food was finished. It's more like a kids meal. There are cheaper options with bigger servings and the same food.

  We finally checked out Turkuaz on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad we did! This place is a total gem if you’re looking for legit Turkish flavors. We ordered the spicy Ezme, Adana kebabs, and kunafa, and honestly, everything was spot on. My family and I visited Istanbul not too long ago, and the food here brought back all those great memories. I’ve tried a few other Turkish spots around town, but this is easily the most authentic experience I’ve had so far. The vibe is super chill and pleasant, and the host made us feel like regulars the second we walked in. It’s one of those places where you just feel right at home. The prices may seem a little higher than some other spots nearby but it speaks quality. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of quality and taste. If you’re on the fence, just go—it’s well worth it and a must-try for anyone who loves great food!

  Nice locally owned Turkish restaurant here in John's Creek! Not too many around the metro-Atlanta area, so it is nice to see this business. It's a small interior but offers some delicious Turkish options with some being specialties that are hard to find. It being Mediterranean food, you can find many other common dishes like kabobs as well. Though nothing made me stand up and applaud for being amazingly delicious, I felt that the dishes were traditionally prepared by maintaining that good flavor. One really good bonus is the portion sizes. You definitely get your money's worth while also enjoying very flavorful food. If you have not tried Turkish food before or love Mediterranean food, I could not recommend this place enough! It is locally owned so I definitely think that Turkish and Mediterranean food lovers should show some more love to this place! Lambchops 8.7/10 - Super juicy and flavorful. It's got a nice char with a nice tender texture, which shows nice cooking method and proper execution. I really liked the portion size. This may have been the biggest portion of any lambchop platter that I have ever eaten. Most restaurants give you some small lambchops and a few for this price, but you definitely get your money's worth with this one! It was not the most flavorful lambchop I have ever eaten at a Mediterranean, but it was still delicious enough for me to recommend. It was certainly delicious and delightful! Mixed meat grill 5/5 - Nice combination of chicken, kofta, and steak kabobs. The flavors from the meats beautifully bathed the lavash bread that it was served over. My favorite was surprisingly the chicken. It was packed with flavor, highly juicy, and tender. The use of chicken thighs greatly improved the flavor. The kofta was nice and spicy, though I felt it could use a bit more salt and seasoning. The steak had the most char buildup and was nicely seasoned with delicious spices. Though it was $35, it was a quite a portion and definitely could feed at least 2 people. It is a nice sample of different flavors that this restaurant offers, so I definitely recommend it. Pides 5/5 - Very nicely prepared and delicious pides! I absolutely adored the how nicely baked these pides were. I can tell they were fresh off the oven when we had received them. The texture of the bread was similar to a baguette. So nice, crunchy, and delicious. The filling may not have been bursting with flavor, but the meat, cheese, and bread combination was very delicious. The Turkish sausage was actually quite flavorful. Though similar to pepperoni, it has its unique taste of herbs and meat quality that makes it taste very delicious. If you have never tried pides before, it is a must try! Get this as an appetizer before enjoying some more delicious dishes!
