A Dining Experience to Remember
Welcome to Turquoise Café & Restaurant, a warm and inviting destination in Chicago’s Roscoe Village where traditional Turkish-Mediterranean flavors come to life.
Since opening our doors in 2002, Turquoise Café has been dedicated to offering a dining experience that blends authentic cuisine, heartfelt hospitality, and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Inspired by the vibrant coastal regions of Turkey, our name reflects the color of the Mediterranean Sea—a symbol of freshness, warmth, and timeless beauty.
At the helm of our kitchen is Chef Ezgi Bozdas, whose culinary vision and deep-rooted passion for Turkish cuisine shape every dish on our menu. With a background that bridges Istanbul’s rich food culture and modern culinary technique, Chef Ezgi brings authenticity, creativity, and care to each plate.
Our menu is rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Turkey and the surrounding Mediterranean, with dishes crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients and time-honored recipes. From classic grilled meats and seafood to flavorful vegetarian plates and handmade mezzes, every dish is a celebration of culture and comfort.
On Sundays, we invite you to experience our signature Turkish brunch, served family-style with a variety of savory and sweet dishes that capture the essence of a true Anatolian morning.
Whether you’re joining us for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a special weekend brunch, we welcome you to relax, savor, and enjoy the warmth of Turquoise Café—where every meal feels like home.
