Turkuaz Jakarta

Indulge in the World of Ottoman Turkish Delicacies

As you step into Turkuaz, you will be taken into the historic ambience that depicts the glorious of Ottoman Empire while variety ranges of authentic Ottoman Turkish food and beverage items on the menu are set to spoil your palate.

 

Chef Sezai Zorlu is the man behind the creation of the menu since July 2011 when we first opened Turkuaz, which has been awarded as one of Jakarta’s best restaurants.

 

Nestled in strategic South Jakarta’s elite neighborhood, Turkuaz transports you from the city’s hustle and bustle to a peaceful, Turkish-inspired atmosphere. A unique chandelier shaped like traditional Turkish tea glasses and a large picture of the country’s founding father Kemal Pasha Attaturk pay homage to Turkish heritage.

 

Each corner of the restaurant, from the color scheme to the furniture and decor, has been carefully designed to reflect the beauty of Turkey. Artistic and rare pieces hand-carried from the country are displayed on the walls and ceiling, offering guests a glimpse into Turkish culture and history.

Meet The Chef

Chef Sezai Zorlu is an exceptional, self-taught chef with a deep-rooted passion for authentic Ottoman and Turkish gastronomy. The Chef grew up on his grandparents’ farm in Iskenderun, Turkey where he developed his culinary savvy in crafting and cooking palatable cuisine from his native country. Ottoman Turkish food is not comparable from Turkish fare you can find in most of the establishments. Ottoman Turkish cuisine blends the traditional Turkish delight with the palatable foods from Greece, the Balkans, parts of the Caucasus, and the Middle East. Chef Sezai is truly beyond an ordinary chef, as he is among a very few in the world and the only one in Asia who know the true secret of creating the sumptuous Ottoman Turkish fare – not to mention Chef Sezai’s long-standing portfolio at various reputable F&B establishments, including his previous role working hand-in-hand with his father who was the personal chef of a royal family for 15 years. Indeed, his portfolio has enriched him with in-depth knowledge of the regional cuisine. Now based in Jakarta, Chef Sezai own and run two restaurants under Turkuaz Group: Turkuaz and Abang Turki, serving you with the unparalleled authentic Ottoman Turkish fare.
