This used to be my favourite local restaurant but sadly the management has changed. We found the new manager over baring (would not leave our table and tried to continue awkward conversation). The evening went from bad to worse when the keyboard and singing came...out. I’m all for a good night but this resembled a karaoke bar in Benidorm. The manager then apologised for his loud singing etc and then continued for another hour or so. Not the restaurant it used to be sadly! Won’t be returning.More

Absolutely awful. The manager is very rude and the music he insisted on playing to us was very irritating. Very disappointing.

I do not know what previous reviews re the new Manager, staff and food are on about! This was our first time here and we were blown away by the ambiance of Turkuaz, all the staff and the really lovely food and drink on offer....We had a lovely evening with my sister and brother-in-law, who were down from Glasgow. They said it would beat any Turkish / Greek restaurant there and would be one of the first places to go when they are down next with us! We felt right at home and had a really good evening, sharing lots of good chat with all the staff there. We will return ourselves very soon!More

Had a fantastic evening celebrating my wife & sister-in-laws 60th birthday. The manager made it by being super friendly & very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble & the banter was great. The food was amazing & will definitely be returning soon! Peter Crowley

First time in the restaurant and I'd recommend it to anyone, Fantastic food, fantastic service, We'll be back, Thanks to the chef and all the staff x

Our first visit, but we are planning on coming back very soon! Great food - lovely meat and great flavours - any relaxed friendly atmosphere! All staff, in particular Can , worked hard to make our sons feel welcome. Thank you!

Great food and overall great dining experience. Staff are all friendly and go above and beyond with service. Matt the restaurant manager brings a great vibe to the dining experience. Highly recommended. Will be back soon. Thanks.

Outstanding review the team here have so much energy. You get a weary welcome great food and the manager even entertains you with musical instruments. The music is always upbeat. The new manager is a real community person

Best experience I loved the food the atmosphere the new manager played the trumpet for my son birthday lamb shank was extremely tasty and fresh , we will be back very soon Thank you Turkuaz team

I’ve been going to this restaurant for a long long time and under the previous management of Ercan and his amazing original team this place was probably the best Turkish restaurant in Leeds. HOWEVER!!!!! Since the recent departure of Ercan and a few key staff...including the very talented head chef, the new management and some of the replacements are nothing short of a joke. The once welcoming warm atmosphere, amazing service and hospitality is now sadly gone forever. Replaced with a circus show that is simply risible. Not even a shadow of its former self. The place has gone from 1st class to utterly shocking under the new management. I feel so sorry for the original staff who seem to be abandoning ship at the first opportunity to find alternative employment. To see the familiar faces of the original team / staff grimace in silence at the rude, obnoxious and downright bizarre disrespectful behaviour of the current management toward both staff and customers is nothing short of shocking!! The once delicious food has lost its edge and quality and the general service is, well tbh all in all leaves you in discomfort. I can only praise the last remaining original waitress for her ability to rise above this calamitous debacle with a brave face whilst holding on to the last thread of originality this place formerly held. I’ve never had such a poor experience in a restaurant nor been badgered so intrusively whilst eating lower than the usual standard food, by an egotistical overbearing manger. And to be frank lacking in etiquette and propriety. What a shame it is for this place to have slumped and declined so rapidly it beggars belief. Overall it’s now abysmalMore

The previous reviews you find are all accurate. Management here is horrible and you can see it both in how they treat customers and staff. Between giving some customers different treatment than others and insulting staff openly this isn't a place to support with your...time or money.More

Manager is so so rude! Rude to his staff and made rude jokes to our partners about us expecting them to be well received. also had bones in our meal and had to ask for the bill 3 times which took 35 minutes. We have...been before but sadly this is definitely the last timeMore
