It is very rare you meet people like Turabi. He goes above and beyond. He really stands by his words and trust others to do so too. Turabi let us try a couple rugs before making a decision. And even after that he made sure we were satisfied! Amazing service. I would purchase again. The rug was a good price too! read more

We moved to Seattle early this year (2023). We love nice rugs and went searching. We found Turabi online and decided to go see what they had to offer. My wife and I were not disappointed! Not only do they house hundreds -- if not thousands -- of beautiful rugs, they have INCREDIBLE people working there. We worked most directly with Ahmet and he is such a great person! He showed us so many rugs, which is a lot of time and effort, without batting an eye. He was patient and encouraged us to take our time. He knew the inventory inside and out; where the rugs originated, what they were made from, how they were made, etc. Finally, after a couple visits, we purchased two rugs - dining room and living room rugs. I'd have to say that our favorite part was eating flat bread with Ahmet. We are grateful he wanted to share with us. We did not take that gesture for granted! On top of all that, we recently discovered our dog urinated on one of the rugs. We immediately got in touch with Turabi and they were so helpful with getting it cleaned. They first tried to see if it was something we could clean at home, but then decided it was something they should handle because of the yellow. Turabi is a place we will continue to recommend to friends and family, and anytime we are in the market for a new rug or runner, they will be the only place we go. Thank you all so much for your knowledge, warmth, hospitality, and generosity!! See you soon! read more

This beautiful rug brings us great joy every day. Thank you Turabi for a wonderful shopping experience! I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. read more

Updated review Wow! Almost 10 years later, I have more good news to share about the wonderful experience of purchasing rugs from Turabi. We were recently updating our home and headed in a little bit more of a transitional/modern style vs. traditional. Turabi has a HUGE selection of contemporary rugs, and they even have the ability to assist in custom design and order if their vast floor selection doesn't have the perfect rug. They still have many traditional and antique rugs as well, and they have a great eye for bringing in current and classic colors. Once again I spent hours in the beautiful store in Pioneer Square while they painstakingly pulled out rugs, explained the country of origin and materials and processes used. They were also honest with me about durability and helped me understand maintenance and upkeep, which was important to me with kids and dogs. I was also encouraged to step on/walk on/ stand on the rugs barefoot to feel which were softer because we are a no-shoe house. Once we got it narrowed down, they brought a few to the house to see it in our space. We narrowed down further with their great counsel and then I was able to live with a couple of rugs in my space for a few days to see how it changed with the light, how it felt etc. The rug we loved the most was going to be too large and cover our fireplace hearth. But Turabi's team had no problem taking exact measurements, cutting a notch around the hearth, and putting a new edge on the rug. You would never know. It is stunning and we get compliments every time someone walks into our front door. Their exceptional service and high quality will always make me a repeat customer. I look forward to working with them again. 5.0 star rating 6/9/2010 Previous review: I would never go anywhere else for a fine carpet. Their level of service and patience is impeccable. They came to my house, looked at the room I wanted the rug for and came back with loads of choices. Do you know how heavy rugs are to haul around? We did this multiple times and they never once showed any signs of impatience or frustration with the hard time I had making a decision. I have 2 kids and a dog, and they let me 'test drive' several rugs at a time so I could see them in different light and live with them in order to help me make my decision. They brought rugs in from both their Phinney and Pioneer Square locations. I loved working with them and my family enjoyed them too. My daughter who was 3 at the time affectionately named Turabi "Robby" and would ask if he was coming over to see her each night. After our transaction was complete, I was assured that I could trade the rug out if we moved or changed paint colors. I would not hesitate to work with them again - they are trustworthy, knowledgeable and dedicated to truly magnificent rugs that are heirloom quality but still attainable. read more

I had a guest dog chew off the corner of a very nice Persian rug and was pretty upset. The rug repair & cleaning business where I initially left the rug (which also has a good reputation) felt it was beyond their capabilities and, with my permission, sent the rug to Turabi Rug Gallery. The day I went to pick up the rug I was concerned as to what the repair would look like. I couldn't have been more pleased. If it hadn't been pointed out I'm not sure I could tell which corner was repaired. Keep in mind, this was not just a solid one-color patch, but a fairly intricate design. I can't say enough good things. Turabi is a gentleman and an artist, or maybe a magician. Either way, while I hope I never need another repair, if I do, I'm going back to Turabi. Also, the next time I'm in the market for another rug, Turabi Rug Gallery will be my first stop. What a selection! read more

I've been collecting high-quality hand-knotted rugs for over twenty years, and this is my favorite source for them. The owner has a great eye, and thus, he offers an excellent variety of rugs from different regions, providing styles for a wide variety of tastes and budgets. But what I feel sets this store above the others is their outstanding customer service and integrity. It is always a pleasure doing business here! read more

TURABI's Rug Gallery can be summed up in ONE very important word---INTEGRITY. 1.)

We purchased a lovely Turkish hand woven rug. These exceptional quality rugs are VERY attainable. WE look forward to returning to TURABI's for ALL our future carpet needs, buying, cleaning and repairs. 2.) INTEGRITY of Service- Turabi's has a high level of first class service. They listened patiently as we explained our need . Turabi pulled the perfect carpet, and then customized it to fit the room. The workmanship and skill level was impeccable. This store deserves MORE than a FIVE STAR service rating. 3.) INTEGRITY of Character-LAST but really FIRST, this is a long standing, successful business built on, and because of the distinctive qualities that Turabi and his staff possesses, honesty, generosity, kindness, trustworthiness, and deep knowledge of their product. Hat's off to your exceptional business model. We look forward to our next visit. Thanks so much for an incredible experience. Marjorie D. read more

Fantastic Service! Completely professional and knowledgeable. Needed an older rug restored and Turabi's did a wonderful job. Never going anywhere else for rugs or rug-related services. Thank you, Turabi!! (and despite the info appearing above, I'm in Seattle, not San Fran) read more

I have worked with Turabi over the past 11 years and have found him to be consistently professional, personable, reliable, knowledgable and amazing to work with. He has always communicated in a timely and personable fashion and shared his extensive expertise freely. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality rugs. He is truly an exceptional human being. Carolyn H in Gig Harbor read more

Great guy very fair with customers, largest inventory both new and antique. His cleaning and repair business is top notch, in fact other shops in Seattle and surrounding cities send their repair business to him. I have been purchasing rugs from him for over 20 years as well as having many repaired and can honestly say if you become one of his customers and you love rugs like I do you will return. read more

I have been buying rugs from Turabi for 20 years. He has a great selection, and is always willing to work with my needs and budget. His service is impeccable and he is truly a decent human being. As for the quality of the rugs - I have had several for 20 years, and they are still beautiful. I have them cleaned by Turabi every so often and they always look great. He can also do repairs. He has always worked with me on trade ins as we have changed houses 3 times since we started working with him. You will never regret buying a hand-loomed oriental rug. There is no better rug on the planet. read more

I can't say enough. Went down to replace my kilim of many years. They didn't have quite what I envisioned and he said he'd bring by something from the warehouse. It was perfect! Turabi installed it without hesitation. Just a wonderful experience. This is the last of the great Middle Eastern rug dealers in Seattle. They last forever and a day and if you want them repurposed for another use or smaller space they can help with that too. Go visit you won't ever regret it. read more

Read the good reviews here and decided this was the place to find a rug that would really tie our living room together. Excellent decision. Turabi himself helped us. He took the time to show us literally every rug in his gallery of the appropriate size. They were all gorgeous. He helped us narrow our choices down to 7-8, then brought ALL of those rugs to our house so we could see which ones looked best with our furniture. What a difference that made! We picked the perfect rug and it was already in our home. Plus he cut us a rug pad and gave us an extra one for a rug we already had, free of charge. He also said he'll do all future cleaning and stain removing. Love this place! Amazing first class service. Also if you call ahead to say you're coming to his shop he will validate your parking. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Turabi Rug Gallery has done excellent rug restoration and repair service for me on several occasions for my antique rugs. Their staff are experts in rug identification, rug appraisal, and most importantly rug repair and restoration. I was amazed when I saw the quality of their work and yet the price was very fair. The Pioneer Square store is quite large so they have thousands of rugs in their inventory too - you can spend a long time looking at all the options, but they are great at guiding you to the type you might be after. read more

Turabi and his team (Ahmet) are wonderful. My husband and I were trying to create a new look for our living room and by far the most important piece was going to be the rug. Out of the immense selection, two very different rugs struck us. We were allowed to take the rugs home over the weekend, "live" with them in our space and decide which rug we preferred. We couldn't be happier. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Turabi is the "real deal" carpet store. They have a huge collection of modern and antique carpets from Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, Tibet, Pakistan , India and more. This is the place to go to find one-of-a-kind carpets that are individual works of art. The selection is great. The owner and his family are knowledgeable and generous. We bought five rugs and he included the liners and storing them for a month. This will be our ' go to' carpet store for our family! read more

This is THE place to go to buy a special rug. The inventory is extensive, but what really sets Turabi apart is the service. Ask for Ahmet. He has a decorator's eye for what you're looking for. Plus, he is very accommodating - he'll bring rugs to your house and let you live with them before making a decision. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Turabi. read more

Turabi and Ahmet were very helpful and wonderful to work with. Helped my partner and me find a rug on a budget that is just perfect for our space. We feel very comfortable knowing that we can continue to depend on them for future rug purchases and cleanings. read more

We had a great experience at Turabi. He immediately knew from the pictures we brought exactly what our current rug is, the approximate date and from where. He didn't try to discourage us from having it repaired so that we would buy a new one from him. We received a ton of information in only a short visit and the prices he gave us for the rugs we liked are comparable to those we found online (or much less). Nice man. Easy experience. Gorgeous new and antique (what I would call vintage) rugs. Now, to buy or repair. That is the question! read more
