"Turkuaz has undergone a facelift and come out all glammed up giving Jakartans a taste, smell, and feel of Turkey with its fare, sweet treats, and handicrafts.
They’ve also upped the anti on the interior. The hanging lights, tea cup lamps, walls adorned with photographs, teaspoons, mirrors, and colourful ceramics give a glimpse of the vibrant markets of Istanbul." -honeycombers

"Here is where you can get the best baklava in town, as well as a tasteful Turki’s experience. Inside the restaurant, you can also visit their rug store, all imported products that selected through experienced eyes." -WhatsNewJakarta
