I am really sorry but it is a cultural difference that in Türkiye, people would care more about the food than the booze.
Yes, of course, they could certainly offer good quality food + good quality booze at the same time but I personally don't mind the booze part since they have decent food which I could pair with whatever is available which IMO is much better than lounges like the Lufthansa Senator Lounge's in MUC and FRA, BA Galleries First in LHR Terminal 5 where the food is average or below-average but the booze selection is much better than what TK offers.
