Nov 17 Turquoise Café & Restaurant

Tucked into the center of Roscoe Village, Turquoise Café & Restaurant feels like the kind of place you stumble into once - and then immediately plan your next visit. Since 2002, this neighborhood favorite has built its reputation on dishes inspired by Turkish and Mediterranean traditions, paired with an atmosphere that radiates comfort, care, and community.

Turquoise is proudly woman-owned and home to a talented, women-led kitchen helmed by Chef Ezgi Bozdas. Her approach blends the flavors of her Istanbul roots with a fresh, modern touch, creating plates that feel both deeply familiar and excitingly new. Even the bread carries a story: it’s baked by the same baker who has been with the restaurant for more than two decades, a quiet testament to the consistency and craft behind every meal.

Tons of food & drink options at Turquoise!

What truly sets Turquoise apart is the warmth that defines the experience from start to finish. Guests are welcomed like old friends, and the space feels intentionally inclusive - open to everyone. That spirit of openness spills naturally into the community, where the restaurant’s Roscoe Village roots inspire collaborations, events, and long-lasting relationships.

Turquoise offers entertainment - such as jazz nights!

Turquoise also shines when it comes to gathering people. Whether you're hosting a milestone celebration, planning a dinner with friends, or coordinating a larger private event, the team offers fully personalized packages tailored to your style, group size, and dietary needs.
