Israeli style Greek restaurant with really delicious options. Service is immaculate with everyone joining in to help each table as needed. Great for birthdays as they accommodate for large groups and do a nice birthday song and music for the special guest. My favorite dishes are the whole branzino served half fried half grilled. The fish comes out juicy inside with a crispy exterior. Perfectly done. The grilled vegetables are really good too sliced thin and have a nice taste of charcoal and come with a delicious tangy sauce. The tzatziki is yummy, not traditional but feels very Israeli so it satisfies my tastes. For dessert I will rave about the Dubai chocolate cake. Perfectly balanced not too sweet with a dark chocolate cake and a must need to close the meal. read more

everything is FRESH and DELI7. Staff are accommodatin. Waitress is also Fabulous. Prices are reasonable

Food was excellent but only two stars because it's really bad business at turquoise restaurant on union turnpike. Rude waiter and worse manager. Tried to cheat us by claiming we weren't there for early bird pricing. Will not be returning. read more

Great food consistently, efficient service - highly recommended. Try the butterflied Bronzino!

This place is PACKED on a Monday night. There's a reason for it. The food is incredible, the service is fast and on point and the roasted eggplant is just salivating. And the fish ofcourse is the reason I'm here. read more

DO NOT GET SUSHI HERE I ordered a roll with spicy tuna and salmon, at the time I said out loud that it tasted a bit too fishy but I kept eating it. The last 36 hours has been hell. I repeat do not get sushi from this restaurant. Cooked fish, enjoy. But anything else your risking your peace. read more

It's ok. The tip was included in the bill and they charged it as 20%. The service was ok and the server was definitely nice but i personally don't think tip should be included‍. Other than that food was alright. The fish is definitely a 10/10. The macaroni is mediocre at worst, and ok at best. The sushi felt like rubber. I've had better good and service before in this restaurant, maybe today was an off day. I do recommend this place to try it out. The service is not bad like other reviews make it put to be. read more

One of the best seafood restaurants in queens the blackened st Pete is my personal favorite go to. It has a nice crunchy fried yet tender inside. The Greek salad is a nice accompaniment to start. They give you there version of bread and butter at the table to start which is nice to have the sauces to dip with the entrees. Will be back and a personal favorite of most is the eggplant with tahini. Not my personal favorite but I'm not a tahini gal. Will be back soon for some good fish and there delicious pomegranate sangria to finish my meal off with. read more

Poor service.. Always forgot to put bread or salat to order ... .. If you charge too much money for services .,, then please provide good service. read more

We were hungry we needed a good hearty meal and we needed Kosher! Trusty yelp app to the rescue ... drove past Turquoise a few times saw yelp reviews and decided tonight is the night for fish dinner. warmly greeted there were a few tables with diners We arrived about 5:20 pm water and bread instantly on the table given menus we see they have a twilight special ...$23 for a full meal including dessert yup I am game since dessert is so important to me choices of salads, broiled or fried fish plus potato or veggies My beet salad was great! cheese & candied pecans with a light dressing I opted for a fried flounder it really was lovely very light breading not greasy or heavy. steamed veggies tasted fresh and good. I liked the carrot I always like light steamed carrots our waitress was very attentive our water glasses always filled as we were eating our meals my daughter and I are saying this is really good food finished off with their biscuit cake its a dairy cake with a flaky crust and creamy filling it was the perfect ending we left with full bellies very happy. Koshers of Queens are never cheap and the regular menu is on par with usual prices but what a great dinner we had and we for sure will return. read more

EXTREMELY RUDE owner. he had MULTIPLE empty tables and made us wait 30 min because our reservations weren't for another 30 min. he told us if we have a problem with it to leave and not eat at his restaurant. Disgusting way to treat ur customers. ontop of that the service sucks. read more

This place gives to little food for a lot of money! I had the Fish and Chips and there was more fries than fish! Still great food, but still very expensive. Also has sushi. Will try their sushi next time I go there. Also installed nice outdoor dining patio. Will come again. read more

As the restaurant's name suggests, Turquoise specializes in fish that is kosher. The ambiance is modern and upscale. The food is simple yet well executed. During lunch hours, you'll find business professionals and likeminded individuals having meetings. Another point to take note of is the lunch price fix menu which includes a salad, an entree, and a dessert for $21. I started with the Israeli salad. The tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions were chopped finely giving each bite a medley of tastes. I also liked the blend of oil, vinegar, and lemon used for the dressing. The salad was quite refreshing. I also liked the garlic and parsley butter which was served with the complimentary bread. For my main course, I opted for the St. Peter's Tilapia with rice and steamed vegetables. The fish was broiled, and it came out very moist and juicy. I have never characterized fish like that before. The breading was light yet flavorful. I finished my meal with a homemade biscuit cake which I would classify in a similar family to a napoleon or tiramisu cake in that elements of thinly baked dough were layered with mousse. The service was quick and promptly accommodated any requests. There was no hostess, yet I was seated fairly quickly. Lastly, I'd like to reiterate that the lunch deal is quite good! read more

Great Food, from Appetizers, Entre & desserts. Bit Pricey But I understand why when you want to have a Fresh Fish! Happening Atmosphere. Overall you would have a great experience! read more

I really enjoyed Turquoise! We started with garlic bread that i devoured!!! The green salad was so fresh and the lettuce was shredded into perfect tiny pieces. Then we had the whole fire roasted eggplant with tahini, tzadiki, and the 1/2 and 1/2 fish. Everything was really yummy and totally craving-worthy plus the service was great! Can't wait to return!!! read more

The food was very fresh and beautifully prepared. I finally enjoyed a delicious meal that was healthy and didn't make me feel like being rolled out of the restaurant. The dishes were simple but very pleasing to the eye. Portions were ample. Service was top notch and turn around time from ordering to being served was very fast. Sangria was delicious. But have a designated driver for sure. . Even the coffee was particularly good. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Great food, good vibes, fast service and knowledgeable servers. Make sure you reserve though. read more

We had a confirmed reservation but when we got to the restaurant the OWNER said they didn't have it in the book. Which was wrong because we showed them the confirmation. So he said we would have to be finished in one hour which is very rushed. We left. And it was NOT THE FIRSF TIME it happened. They have no respect to repeat customers. It's a SHAME. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE! Not recommended! The owner was very rude and disrespectful to us. My fish was burnt to a crisp- the owner yells at me that it's okay to eat that way?!? Are you serious?? Adding insult to injury - when i ordered the Cabernet Sauvignon, they had the audacity to give me the sweet kosher wine instead. Again when I confronted the owner that they gave me the wrong wine he argued with me. I made the waiter pour the Cab into a glass in front of me and then taste both wines!! The server then apologized and the owner was nowhere to be seen (obviously). Eating at a restaurant should be a pleasurable experience. This was completely the opposite. I suggest you skip this place if you want to enjoy yourself. read more

Horrible horrible horrible service. Owner is mean and disrespectutfal. Had a party that started at 8pm and didn't receive our fish until 10:45 will never come back! read more

I've been here a bunch of times the food is always fresh. Hard to get a reservation sometimes. The menu is okay. It's good for going out a bit pricey and the sides are okay. read more

Came here with a group of eight. The food was very good and the desert were off the charts. I was very impressed for fish restaurant it was clean and didn't have the fishy smell. The service needs improvement for it takes a long time to get what is needed. Wether it's a glass of water or to get a clean fork takes a long time. And when the place it packed it very claustrophobic feeling. But then when a place it packed it must mean the food is good. Highly recommended and I will come again. read more

Been coming here for about a year now.. Great spot for family gatherings! Went in today and was compelled to write this review, it's a shame that other people write bad things, honestly some of the best fish and service I have ever encountered, the young man that was our waiter came to our table like 10 times to make sure everything was on point! I loved that! We usually get ronni who is a real class act! He knows how to treat people and they honestly deserve every star! Keep up the great work! (Bronzino) is off the hook! read more

Best kosher fish restaurant in NY very fresh food and salads welcoming service big portions highly recommend

Highly recommend this place if you really like fish. Always tastes fresh and cooked so that its crispy on the outside but still juicy on the inside. Make SURE to make a reservation if you plan to go after 5 on any given day. Restaurant gets very crowded at night and many open tables are already reserved prior. read more

One of the worst experiences we were having dinner and the waiters decided they needed our table we were only there for an hour and the Resturant was half empty But the waiters took our wine glasses and teacups and threw us out DONOT GO THERE read more

Terrible service. Rude waitress. No manager on site. We asked if our food had butter in it because we requested for it not to, and the waitress stated that it did not have but the flavor and texture showed there was clearly butter. Waitress did not take our concerns into account due to health issues with butter. Never going back. Customers consideration was NOT taken into account at all. Run away. read more

Great ambiance for a kosher restaurant (some get to be very schlock) and a nice, casual setting. The food was excellent - my wife and I decided to get the Turquoise Tuna Tartare (listed as a appetizer), Combination Fillet Platter, and a penne pasta dish with broccoli and cream sauce. The tuna tartare was excellent but awfully small - for the price this is not a good appetizer for two people. The combination platter had three smaller size fillets of fish - we ordered Chilean sea bass, salmon, and flounder. All of the cooked fish was well prepared (the flounder was buttery smooth and was my favorite - where do they get it this far out of season?) and tasted fresh, but again with the smaller portions, including the small scoop of rice and steamed vegetables. The pasta was the only decent size portion - to be expected, considering pasta is relatively inexpensive - but was cooked perfectly al dente. We did not have any liquor but the list appeared appropriately priced (read: enjoy a drink when you get home later). The bread served with dinner tasted to be fresh baked in the restaurant, with great garlic butter and a small dish of tahini which was excellent, tasting of lemon and decently thick. The sushi menu seemed appropriately priced as well, and I would expect the fish is as fresh as the cooked options (however we did not have sushi). This place is not cheap...$80-100 for two people looks to be average. Our bill was less since we did not have dessert or drinks. There are far better values for kosher dining, and this place is not for couples/families on a budget. That said, I would recommend this place as a mainly-fish option that is convenient from Nassau and Queens. read more

Was there on Sunday evening. The place was packed, the ambiance is welcoming, the food that I managed to eat was not bad, the service was super slow. Not sure whether it was because of the fact that only 2 wait staff was working during busy time when about 100 people were there or because there should have been more wait staff during such busy time. It's not the fault of the waitresses that were running around overwhelmed, but of the owner. As such, I had to cancel the last of my order because it was getting late and we had enough of waiting. Maybe, big maybe, I will go again Recommendation: don't go off its busy. read more

My family and I came here to celebrate a birthday. The food wasn't bad, although they didn't actually sear the tuna two people in our party ordered. When they commented to the waitress, she claimed that's how it was done at this restaurant. They weren't complaining about the taste, just that it wasn't what they had ordered. I took off two stars due to their service. There were only two waitresses in the entire restaurant, and just about every table was full. Our waitress did the best job that she could given the circumstances, but it took forever to get her attention and service. I felt bad for her because the delays weren't her fault. The restaurant needs to hire at least one more server, ideally two, to handle such a large Saturday night crowd. read more

Food is superb ! Came in with a few friends and ordered a bit of everything. The sushi rolls are heavenly. Specifically the Jerusalem and Haifa roll. The salad is so fresh , I ordered the Greek salad and couldn't get enough. The half and half bronzing was amazing , I liked the rice as a side the most. And the red sangria , definitely worth the calories ! Can't wait to come back ! read more

What a charming and beautiful spot, loved the decor. Was here for double date night this past Sunday night. Place was ridiculously packed. Luckily, seated right away and waitress came to take our order. I liked how they gave us complimentary side dishes to try. Bread, butter, sauces and marinaded veggies. We order the tuna tarter appitezier, sushi rolls. Our friends got flounder and tempera roll. Food was all very good, no complaints. Sushi was fresh, and flavorful. Service was on point until towards the end. The place was just packed. I am not gonna hold it against our waitress, because she tried to be accomendating as possible. They were just swamped, we had to cancel part of our order because we couldn't wait any longer. Really should hire more staff on a crazy night like that. Still, won't let that spoil the experience. I would still come back to try the fish next time. read more
