In the heart of the vibrant culinary hub of South Jakarta, Turkuaz takes guests on a sensory voyage to the heart of an Ottoman restaurant-gallery. This culinary gem not only tantalises taste buds with authentic Turkish and Ottoman cuisine but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry, travel inspirations and educational insights that define these gastronomic traditions. Beyond its delectable dishes, Turkuaz captivates visitors with its visually captivating interior design, making it a true haven for connoisseurs of both food and art.
The meticulous attention to detail extends to the custom-made furniture that graces every dining area, private room and lounge within Turkuaz. Founder and Executive Chef Sezai Zorlu’s passion for his heritage is evident in every aspect of the restaurant, with many historic decorations hand-carried from Turkey to ensure an authentic ambience that transports diners to the streets of Istanbul.
However, Turkuaz is more than just a feast for the eyes; it is a celebration of centuries-old culinary traditions meticulously preserved by Chef Zorlu, the only Ottoman-Turkish chef in Asia. His commitment to authenticity shines through in every dish, from traditional lamb shank and adana kebabs to beloved favourites like yayla and shish kebabs. The menu reflects the diverse food cultures of Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, offering a culinary journey unlike any other.
No Turkish meal is complete without indulging in the nation’s iconic desserts, and Turkuaz delights diners with offerings such as the irresistible baklava and creamy rice pudding. Complementing these sweet delights are Turkish tea and coffee, adding a touch of tradition to every culinary experience.
