You have to find the good stuff. Usually the nut based ones aren't very good. Rose and Citrus flavors are the best. I had some rose flavored Turkish delight about 15 years ago and I still remember it. Also I've never seen "Cream" or mint flavored but I would assume they are gross.
Personally I like the texture a lot more than other types of sweets similar to Turkish delight. It has a consistent bite throughout, so you aren't stuck ripping or cutting pieces with your teeth, unlike gummy candies you can usually find.
But yeah you have to get a good brand and the right flavor. A Mediterranean cafe/shop near me usually has a few verities, and most of them are gross.
