Reviews Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine

Food was great ! We will definately be back for more.

We visited Bosphorous with a pretty large group tonight. It's a beautiful restaurant in a fantastic location right in the middle of Lake Nona Town Center. The wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu, and also very excited about some of the dishes. I was sold on the lamb shank before even reading the menu just from her description of it and it did not disappoint. So good! I did, of course, look through the menu and I definitely need to come back because there were several other things I really would like to try. They have three exclusive beers brewed by Crooked Can, a Turkish lager called Efes, and tons of other options including some really nice looking cocktails and a nice wine list (which includes some Turkish wines). This place is great! I can't wait to go back and try a few more things. Everyone in our party was very happy with the food and the service. It's a bit pricey, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. This is a top notch dinner experience. Pro tip: They only have one kid's menu item; grilled chicken skewer with rice. If your kid isn't into this, ask for the cheese pizza without tomatoes. It's basically a cheese flatbread.

These pictures were taken from two visits in one week. I just couldn’t get enough! The entire staff were professional, welcoming, and friendly. I’m not a fan of hummus but the one served at Bosphorous is amazing! Also, the lamb is unlike anything I had before. Meat comes right off the bone and packed with flavor. My date and I also had Pistachio Baklava for dessert on both visits and I didn’t take pictures of it because it was so delicious that we couldn’t resist devouring it the second it was placed on our table. The food is a bit pricey but worth every penny!

I had some friends coming into town, and I always like to take these friends somewhere special when they're in town, so of course, I brought them to Bosphorous! I loved the first two locations I tried, so I thought I would come to this third location to see if it was just as good. Spoiler alert, it was. A beautifully Turkish designed interior was a wonderful contrast to the hyper-modern Lake Nona that it is surrounded by. We all got seated, all got our delicious Turkish sodas, and looked at this lavish menu. We all kind of shared some apps, including the staple Lavas (Our signature, baked to-order bread creation). Look up pictures of this thing. It's glorious. I love a good flat bread that you can rip and dip and use to eat all other parts of your meal. Like tortillas when I was growing up. What did I use it to eat? The Mixed Appetizer (A combination of Humus, Babaganoush, Sautéed Eggplant, Muhammara, Ezme, Tarama, Haydari and Zetinyagli Yaprak Dolma). Every one of these cold dips is amazing in its own way, and I recommend you venture outside of your comfort zone if you think this sounds off. It'll be worth it. My favorite is the red pepper one right nuts in it. Forgot the name, but it's there! I also got to try the Sigara Boregi (Crispy filo dough stuffed with creamy feta cheese and parsley). It was like a mega crispy feta cheese eggroll. One bite and boom, filo flakes everywhere. It's a lot of fun. Very decadent. Dip it in a few of your dips! For entrees, I got to try Moussaka (Roasted eggplant layered with fresh ground lamb and tomatoes, topped with a light béchamel sauce and kasar cheese, then baked to perfection. Served with rice pilaf). This was wonderfully different from any other moussaka I've had before. The eggplant wasn't very eggplanty, if that makes sense. It's just a nice solid thing to eat with our yummy ground lamb. Covered with a ton of cheese, served with rice pilaf. Can't go wrong here. My main main was splitting the Mixed Grill for Two (A delicious combination of Doner Kebap, Chicken & Lamb Adana Kebap, Chicken & Lamb Sis Kebap, and Chicken & Lamb Köfte. Served over our rice pilaf). I've had this three time before. You can't go wrong with it. It's perfect. Chicken and lamb served in a wide variety of textures. I know that sounds boring, but take a bite of that chicken kebap and the juicy char flavor that you will experience will make you understand. I am in love with this dish. Get it. Even if you're alone. Overall, all three locations I've visited were lovely. You just can't go wrong with any of them. Please come here.

Omgoodness here for work and when I say some of the best fried calamari I’ve ever had seasoned an fried to perfection! The charbroiled sea-bass skin crisped just how I like it I sat down not really hungry had a pretty big lunch but wanted to get something with the idea of taking most of it back to my room only problem I couldn’t stop eating. Jonathan my server was so attentive & friendly even the manager came out and check on everyone filling water glasses the sign of an effective and efficient ran restaurant definitely will be returning before my stay is over

High recommended restaurant! Can't miss. Very good if not amazing food quality. Menu options are worth it of multiple trips and price is very competitive. Service is five stars and there is plenty of parking in the area. Cannot say enough good things about this place.
