Sara I. (December 30, 2024):

 “The Turkish Cultural Center is such a warm and welcoming spot. They often host all kinds of events here, such as community or multi-cultural events. I have been visiting the "Turquoise/ Raindrop Center" for over a decade plus. This is a fun gathering spot for all, no matter what age bracket you fall under. The building itself is quite unique and the marble for it was imported from Turkey. They have a small café inside the cultural center, as well as a prayer room. The folks that run this place, such as the staff, are all incredibly warm and friendly. This is a wonderful spot to visit, it will surely make you feel like you're out of country, or completely elsewhere. It gives me the travel bug to visit Turkiye, but it also gives me an appreciation of living in such a diverse city such as Houston. Check-out this cultural center; it is warm and welcoming to all, no matter your origin or background. You can even subscribe to their email list in order to ensure that you don't miss out on any events! A cool home away from home spot, they even have a park in the backyard for children. See it for yourself!”
