About Turkuaz Turkish Cuisine

Positioned right on Enmore Road, this inviting dining room turns out generous Turkish banquets with crisp pides, tender lamb skewers, and authentic hospitality. Diners frequently stop in for a swift, satisfying meal before curtain call across the street at the Enmore Theatre. Stained-glass lights glow above tables loaded with house-baked flatbreads and mezze dips—from pacanga börek to savory manti dumplings. Multi-course feasts flow straight into nutty almond rice, flaky baklava, and glasses of warm apple tea.

  • Enmore Theatre pre-show timing: Tables across from the Enmore Theatre get ticket-holders fed and out the door on schedule.
  • Structured multi-course banquets: Multi-course spreads load tables with hot pides, pacanga börek, grilled skewers, and baklava.
  • Live traditional music: Acoustic Turkish melodies and live strings accompany select evening dinner services.
