Turkish Lazuri Cafe

A friend was craving for some Turkish coffee, we ended having a full meal. Everything on the menu looked great but everything that we ordered were delicious. Big servings, staff were very friendly, gave us great suggestions. Parking sucks coz of the location but that’s city life for you, and it’s worth the trip. I suggest you take the T. And make sure that you don’t skip dessert. We actually went overboard. 10/10, definitely coming back!

We’ve been meaning to try this place ever since it opened, and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic—simple, authentic, and beautifully executed. You know you’ve found a winner when your wife takes a bite, looks up, and makes that unmistakable sound of pure food joy. Bonus points for a kids’ menu that actually features Turkish dishes instead of the usual nuggets-and-burgers rut. Our daughter loved it just as much as we did. Service was warm and relaxed—attentive without hovering. We’ll definitely be back, both for quick lunches and a proper family Turkish breakfast on the weekend. A real neighborhood gem.

After a deep search for that perfect spot—a place that was both tranquil and vibrantly alive, serving a standout breakfast and brunch—I struck gold at Turkish Lazuri Cafe. I brought my friend and her daughters here with high hopes, and I am thrilled to say it exceeded every one. From the moment you step in, the authentic Turkish ambiance wraps around you. It’s elegant and fancy, yet warmly inviting. We came for the acclaimed entrees, but the pastries are even better than the photos. It’s a breathtaking array of pastries, cakes, and sweets that promises a difficult decision. Our experience was beautifully guided by our server, Ozge. She is the heart of this gem—a consummate professional with a sweetheart’s warmth. When we hesitated over the menu, her knowledge was our compass. She explain

Great Turkish restaurant serving classic Mediterranean foods. Staff attentive and friendly. Food is delicious and quick service. Hummus and falafel are terrific. Portions good and you will go home full.

We tried out Turkish lazuri cafe, great place in Allston that stays open late. We tried their lamb platter, chicken platter, and manti which are turkish dumplings. The lamb was well cooked and tender. The chicken platter well grilled and the smoky flavor made it even tastier. We also tried their tres leches cake and it was delicious. Entire menu is halal.
