Turkuaz Brasserie is a Turkish restaurant at 6 South Grove in Highgate. Open from breakfast into the evening, it combines the flexibility of a neighbourhood cafe with a full restaurant menu suited to lunch, dinner and relaxed family meals.
Cold and hot starters provide an easy way to explore the kitchen, with hummus, salads, vegetables, yoghurt, pastry and other meze style dishes designed to be shared. Fresh herbs, olive oil, lemon and gentle spice bring balance before the richer mains.
Charcoal grilled meat, house specials, fish and vegetarian dishes form the centre of the menu. Rice, bread and salads support the grill, while casseroles and other cooked plates offer an alternative for diners who prefer slower, sauce based preparations.
Desserts and hot drinks make the restaurant useful beyond the main meal, and the long opening hours accommodate an unhurried visit. Turkuaz is best for groups seeking a broad introduction to Turkish food in a straightforward, welcoming Highgate setting.
Address: 6 South Grove, Highgate, London N6 6BS, England
