SOME OF OUR REVIEWS...

 

The Turcuisine mix is equally impressive with a more than ample serving of doner kebab, the house specialty of thinly sliced spit roasted marinated lamb and beef, as well as a chicken and a lamb shish kebab, a grilled lamb chop and kofte, patties of lamb and beef, served with yogurt sauce, tomato sauce and rice or, if you prefer, french fries.

  • THE GOURMETRO: Turcuisine in Herndon. So. GOOD. Very friendly and attentive service, for starters. We ordered the dolmas as a starter (rice pilaf wrapped in grape leaves, served with tzatziki and lemon)and they were SO. GOOD. Well, assuming you like them to start with...
    Then, Adana kebabs in pita and a Kofta. I have to say, they were some of the best kebabs I've had. I've had some issues with kebabs being heavy and food-coma inducing, but these were light, and well-spiced, with some of the fluffiest pitas I've had. with two Turkish coffees sweetened to taste, lunch ran approximately $35 for three people. I highly recommend you try this restaurant if you're in the area

    • Great For Work Lunch

    By A Yahoo! Contributor

    Took a large group of 11 coworkers here for lunch. Attention to detail and service were impeccable; food was great.
     

    • Excellent Modern Restaurant

    I eat here 2 or 3 times every week. The owners are very involved with every aspect of your meal and they go to great lengths to insure that you are completely satisfied with your meal. I personally like the Adana Kabob and the Salmon dish. The lamb chops are also very good.

  • This place rocks! I spent some time in Turkey, and the food and preparation here are the real deal. The place is beautiful also, so I was surprised at the quality of "home cooking" Turkish as opposed to "fancy restauant" food. The wine list has a dozen reasonably priced selections - the only Turkish wines are KAVAKLIDERE, which is a bit of an acquired taste. Good beers including Efes and Efes dark. Food prices were very reasonable as well.
     
  • The food is consistently excellent---well prepared and presented and nicely flavored. The service can be a bit amateurish and uneven, but the servers are always friendly and well-intentioned. A great place for a quick, full meal.
     
  • The food here is exquisite! Not your average kabob shop at all, the mezza platter is spectacular, everything they serve is not only delicious but beautiful!
     
  • Comfortable contemporary atmosphere with a touch of Turkey. The menu has something for everyone, and it's all delicious, from the mezze which are the traditional appetizers to the Turkish "pizzas" and everything in between. The service is attentive, eager to please, and the food is always on time. We have been there with our family numerous times, each time a pleasant experience. Would highly recommend, a fair priced meal in a clean comfortable place.

  • The restaurant is small and without frills, another mall eatery but one with a twist: primarily Turkish food packing plenty of spicy heat---the lamb adana kebab has a chili infusion and a hot dipping sauce besides, making this the entrée or wrap of choice. Don’t skip past the silken hummus either, a real delight with its rich, nutty flavor. It’s available as a side, but you’ll want to order it as an appetizer as well. We also recommend the baklava---dense, moist and super-rich.

  • This strikingly low-lit restaurant exudes an urban chill that you'll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in suburbia. The intimate (read matchbox small) Turcuisine is staffed by some of the nicest waitstaff you'll find. Of course, they could have been overly indulgent towards me due to the fact that I was one of 3 groups of diners that night - it was a Wednesday. But I like to think they treat every customer to bright smiles and spot-on service. The food was typical Turkish fare, above-par in taste and design. I would have like to have lingered over my boat-shaped pide and shiny stuffed grape leaves.
  • Excellent choice of dishes, friendly service and reasonable prices. A grand experience. Will definitely go there again. JAY A. McLean, VA.
     
  • Excellent Turkish food. Since I have been to Turkey and Greece, I can tell you their kabob doner, and side dishes are very authentic. I usually go their for lunch and get their combo wrap. Excellent portion and very nice setting..get the adana kabob (spicy) if you like your kabobs on the hot side. AMER S. Alex, VA
     
  • My girlfriend and I have been frequenting Turcuisine for a few years now; it's definitely one of our favorites restaurants to eat at. I always get the Adana Kabob, which is amazing. The grilled vegetables, rice, and tomato sauce that accompany the entrees are all vibrant and fresh. DALLAS S. Centreville, VA

  • Food was pretty good if you're looking for a good lunch. wraps are delicious and well portioned
     
  • "Amazing food and service!! Go now!!"
     
  • We tried this place just because it offered 1000 points. It was great. Service was friendly and wonderful. Food was exceptional. If you enjoy strong coffee, the Turkish coffee is worth it. We plan to go back. We tried it for lunch and had the doner wrap. Lots of meat on it and the sauce was wonderful. It came with a choose of side - French fries, salad or humus. We got the hummus and the salad and tried each. Both very good
     
  • "The food here was great! We had the Sigara Borek & Cheese/Soujuk platter as an appetizer. My 3 year old, who ONLY ever eats Mac & Cheese almost ate the entire Sigara Borek appetizer himself! I was also surprised at how much food came on the Cheese/Soujuk Platter! For our entrees, we ordered the Adana Kebob and the Turcuisine Mix. Both were incredible in flavor and quantity. We will definitely be going back!"
     
  • "It was a little hard to find since I am unfamiliar with the area. But it once I found TurCuisine I was quite satified with the atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly and kind. I actually forgot which person was my waitress because everyone came to make sure that we were satisfied. The resturant is small and quaint and the food was delicious as well as the Turkish Wine. I would recommend this resturant to anyone looking for good Mediteranean food."
     
  • "Service was friendly and prompt; food was delicious. We had the hummus appetizer, chicken shishkebab and kebab trio, and would definitely order all those again. Baklava was by far the freshest, most delicious I've ever had. The bellydancer was friendly, engaging, and a lovely highlight to our evening. I would heartily recommend TurCuisine for an evening out--dates, groups, and families will all find themselves comfortable here."
     
  • "Only our 2nd visit but there will be more. Glad I found this Gem via Mileage Plus Dining."
     
  • "After living in Turkey for a few years I was happy to find a restaurant that brought back the tastes that I was searching for. Great place."
     
  • "The food was good, the price right, the service good, and the restaurant design interesting-- very fresh and modern. We look forward to dining there again."
     
  • "My wife and I really liked TurCuisine. We went on a Friday night around 8:30pm. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, as it is in a strip mall. Inside the decor is pretty cool. They had a belly dancer for a little while. She looked Irish, but she was really good! It sort of livened the place up for a while. This is one of those places that could get a standalone building and do well. They have the atmosphere down pretty well and the food is great. Prices are also reasonable.The food was excellent. Both of us were more than happy with our meals, and the portions were very generous. The service was also excellent. We probably will return."
     
  • "As usual, the food and service at TurCuisine were excellent on our recent visit. This small restaurant has a very minimalist, modern decor. There are a few outside tables available when weather permits. The Donor Kebab and the Kofta are my favorites here, but I haven't tried anything I haven't liked from their menu. I love their rice and their sauces. Great little place!"
     
  • "The staff was very friendly and explained menu items thoroughly. The food was absolutely delicious! Very authentic Turkish cuisine."
     
  • "This place is unbelievable! The food is amazing, the service is great, and we were very surprised to see that prices were pretty good. They have mostly Turkish wines but other are available, and they also have some Turkish, Lebanese, and other middle eastern beer. Unique and very good. I highly recommend this place, you may think it won't be that great because its in a strip mall type of environment, but it is a hidden gem!"
     
  • "This was a nice find for those who enjoy turkish food. We had a very nice dining experience."
     
  • "Food was excellent and best service we've had in Virginia!"
