"Every time I order takeout from Turquoise, I am always impressed by the amazing aroma. Today, when I picked up my order, the manager was there and I told him that I will definitely stop by one day to dine in. He insisted on making me a big plate of rice right then and there. When I tried to pay him, he told me to get him next time. I am definitely going back for more. The food is excellent, the best Indian cuisine I have had so far. I will definitely be thanking them again."

"I didn't plan on coming here first, but I'm so glad I did! I ordered the fish and chips, expecting the usual standard stuff with generic fries and lackluster fish. I couldn't have been more wrong! The portions of fish are huge, and they come with tartar sauce, balsamic reduction, and lemon slices. The batter is not the usual soggy mess you often find; instead, it's crispy, light, and full of flavor. The fries are seasoned so perfectly that they don't even need ketchup. This is exactly what my native New England palate craves. Go for the fish and chips—you won't be disappointed!"

"I’m not sure why there are so many great reviews of this place. It was mediocre to fair at best. The service was fine. The restaurant was too warm. The fried calamari was good, not great, light breading, not rubbery. But it really would have benefited from something other than ketchupy cocktail sauce to go with it. The lobster and crab cakes were the best thing of the evening. Lots of seafood, nice Cajun seasoning to the corn and sauce. My daughter was very happy with her lobster ravioli, but the pool of grease in the bottom of the dish when she was done was unappetizing. Fettuccine Alfredo arrived looking like it had sat too long under the warmer. The trout was overdone and dry. The filet mignon was fine, just not very flavorful. Grilled asparagus was good. Creme brulee and butter cake were tasty desserts."

"The Habit hamburger chain is pretty above the average fastfood place. Speaking of fast food, this place was not! I am going to likely account for the slower service and preparation due to fact that I straggled in pretty late and not too far from closing time. I noticed several of the young staff standing around behind the counter and in the prep area mostly unproductive and doing nothing but loudly talking and gossipping about others amongst themselves. The conversation seemed somewhat tacky, but no big deal. They were having fun. Meanwhile all this personnel standing around and my order is not being prepared. I see maybe 3 employees actually keeping busy . The one that took my order, another person cleaning the dining area and another bagging up orders for a food delivery service that was coming in to pickup the order. Finally, someone does something and drops some fries in the basket. At this point I distracted myself with my phone. After about five minutes a few more last minute patrons drop in and line up behind the counter while the same group of kids behind the counter mostly disperse back to work but continue to chat back n forth about teenage chit chat. I think that must of been about the time my burger probably hit the grill. My Burger was good and tasty no complaints, but my fries were not so good. They were lukewarm and kinda soggy. I think that they didn't cook in hot enough oil and were removed from the fryer wayyy before my burger was finished being prepared. Like I said, a lot of younger staff and right before closing. With such large staff only two or three seemed to be doing all the work. It seemed like time took forever before my puck ever buzzed for pickup. ALSO THIS LOCATION DOESNT HAVE THE GINGER INFUSED FRUIT JUICE DRINK. Was it replaced by the Mango? I chose the berry lemonade and it was fairly watered down. I mostly am really knit picking , as I enjoy having this as a choice for a place to get an above average burger at a decent price for what ya get!"

"The food was just ok. To give some background, I grew up with authentic Mexican food and learned to cook through my mom. This food was extremely over priced for what you get. If you go to a good carnicería and buy some carne asada and make it at home you will a) save money and b) it will probably taste better. It was just...ok and will not be returning. The drinks on the other hand... Delicious but did not stand out enough for me to return just for drinks Also, we were not notified that the tip would be included which was fine. I didn't mind that, I just didn't appreciate that when they brought our tab out, there was no price breakdown and my husband almost gave another tip until I asked for a breakdown of the receipt. That is when we realized we had already been charged the gratituaty of"
