Turkuaz in Winchester

The atmosphere was brilliant, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We had a lovely evening. We had two sharing plates for starters between six and then main courses. They were all delicious whether garlic prawns or lamb cutlets, or the lamb shank. I particularly loved the falafel. We didn’t go upstairs where there is a bar and you can play darts, but I will go back and do that! It really was a fantastic evening.

Lovely place - great atmosphere, friendly and helpful and superb authentic Turkish food. All ground great experience. Will def be returning.

Went with friends few days after opening, it was quite a bit since it was during weekdays ? the food was nice and service was good . Mix grill was nice and livers was too good .

Thank you for a wonderful family celebration for our table of 15 on Saturday lunchtime. Everyone enjoyed the tasty hot and cold mezzze and wonderfully cooked main courses. The kleftiko lamb shanks and bbq grilled meats were beautifully cooked and those choosing fish and mussells were equally delighted. Everyone aged 9 to 90 enjoyed the experience. Service was friendly, attentive and efficient. Hard to believe you have only been open 7 weeks congratulations to the team!

After a long awaited opening, we weren't disappointed. Fantastic cocktails, mezze sharing platers which we demolished and a nice ambience. We will be coming back again, maybe next time to try the darts!

Turkuaz, a newcomer to the dining scene, shows immense promise despite its recent opening. While there are minor areas that could benefit from refinement, the overall experience was highly enjoyable. The food, infused with authentic flavors and expertly prepared, delighted my taste buds. The ambiance, though still finding its rhythm, exuded warmth and charm, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the attentive service added to the overall positive impression. With a touch of fine-tuning, Turkuaz has the potential to become a standout destination in the culinary landscape. I would certainly recommend giving it a try.

First visit here and we were not disappointed! The service was impeccable, the food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and in a beautiful setting

We were taken out for dinner by some very long term friends who had been staying with us. We were keen to try this new restaurant but, for me personally, I was nervous given the "iconic" nature of the building they had taken over. Loch Fyne, the previous incumbent, was one of my favourite restaurants in Winchester!! I did not need to worry on many fronts. The refurbishment of the building was very tasteful and totally in keeping with its history. The menu was innovative and the food was of a very high quality. Finally, and often a deciding factor, the staff were so welcoming, friendly and informative. We'll definitely be back ...... oh, and by the way, the Turkish wine is excellent.

Absolutely beautiful meal and great service today for lunch. Myself and my friend were made to feel very welcome. It’s a stunning old venue that has been decorated tastefully and really looks something special. All the food we tried was delicious and fresh. Best dish for me was the calf’s livers which you don’t see very often on any menu and it has been cooked perfectly. We had a side of feta salad that was also huge and really good value. We had a small dog with us and she was offered water. Thanks we will be back soon!

Such a nice experience. Excellent food, Turkish wine and service. The staff were all so friendly, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. It’s so good to see the building in use again.

Excellent food, service, ambience at a very fair price. We all had a great evening. The staff are fantastic, we had a variety of starters and main courses which were all exceptionally good. The Turkish wine is also nice, and very good value. We especially enjoyed the white, and the red was good too

Visited for the first time, since it eventually opened, and what a fantastic experience. The staff were exceptional and, as for the word, what can I say; wonderful and we will definitely go back.

Great setting with good decor leading to a good ambience, although a little bit wannabe Sheesh'.. Service was awful, need a decent front of house, took 30 + minutes just to get seated and we had a reservation, it felt they were missing a trick with the bar right at the entrance and not inviting us in to order a drink. However, food was epic but had to chase for our main twice with over an hour wait.. appreciate it's just opened so feel it should been given a chance to improve..

This has been a long time coming and we have been looking forward to it opening. We had a great welcome, the service excellent and the food delicious The digital dartboard is nowhere in sight . It is on the floor above the ground floor and people using it will go in the front away from the normal eaters. The interior is a contrast to the barren interior we had when it as Loch Fyne which was very barren. We had the first dish on the speciality menu and thoroughly enjoyed

Very close to Theatre Royal so Perfect for a cheeky supper before or after a performance. Food excellent, staff outstanding and decor beautiful

Best new spot in Winchester! The decor is amazing and perfectly highlights the beauty of the old historic building while modernising it for today’s world. The atmosphere and staff were great. The prices were exactly as we would expect for a high end restaurant in...

Beautifully renovated place, the ambience is great lots of seating, great service but my main reservation is the variety of food on the menu. It's a very meat based samey samey menu, dishes all a variations of each other. I wanted to see more vegetable...

Great welcome and lovely decor. Menu offers very good choices. Our food and drinks arrived promptly and were very well presented. Portions were generous and tasted great. A very enjoyable experience - thank you.

After waiting for a long time to try Turquaz we were very disappointed. As we entered the beautiful historic building I was dismayed to see that the stone fire surround had been painted gold!! The lovely wooden floor is painted orange and there are fake...

Booked a table for 6.30 as wanted an early dinner . Shown to a table . Then took nearly 30 mins before we managed to get a drink or order anyfood after asking We then sat there for another hour and a halve before we...

Good place for drinks. Nice atmosphere and good level of music. I have found their food so so. Order small plates to go with your drinks. That’s my suggestion.

Food was very good as was the service. Decor looks fantastic. Great experience other than the 12.5% service charge. This was a table of two with only one course not a large complex table to serve. A tip should not be enforced it should be...

Beautiful restaurant with excellent food and lovely service. The hot mezze to start was delicious and a great choice of wines. We had a 1 year old baby with us and the staff were very accommodating and playing with him.

Fantastic atmosphere, polite staff and the food was just amazing..,................... it was my first visit to this restaurant, but definitely not my last.

Newly opened restaurant and a 3pm sitting probably isn’t the best time slot to review however the food and service were both excellent ! Hot and cold mezes to start and then lovely main courses for 4 of us. The decor is great and the...

Went here after visiting the theatre royal on a walk in. The food was stunning, decor was lovely, and the atmosphere was warm. Where the restaurant really excelled was with the service. We visited with our 16 month year old baby, as well as with...
