"With four locations in the Orlando metro area, there’s probably a Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine close to wherever you're staying. The Lake Nona outpost is the largest of their restaurants, but each one has chandeliers from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, handmade silks, and displays of pottery and crafts. The real art, though, is their halal meats, particularly the lamb shanks, braised over four hours to achieve a next-level tenderness." - Cheryl Rodewig

If you're in the Lake Nona area, Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine is an absolute must-try! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The flavors are out of this world—each dish is perfectly spiced and packed with rich, authentic Turkish flavor. Whether you're digging into their tender lamb kebabs, crispy börek, or flavorful mezes, every bite is a delight. The service is impeccable; the staff is friendly, attentive, and really adds to the overall experience. And don’t even think about leaving without trying their desserts—they’re truly to die for. The baklava is perfectly flaky, and their Turkish delight is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. Whether you’re a fan of Turkish cuisine or new to it, Bosphorous is guaranteed to impress. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy dinner, a special occasion, or just to treat yourself to something amazing. Go—your taste buds will thank you!

The first visit was with just one coworker, and we were both impressed by the friendly staff and delicious food. The experience was so great that I brought more coworkers the next time, and we all had another wonderful time. Highly recommend this place for its excellent service and tasty dishes!

This place is right at the heart of the action by Boxi park. We sat outside for dinner and it was lively. My order came in cold but the manager came to apologize and replaced it. I recommend this place on weekends. 11/19/24 Another great visit. Another great meal. Another great experience!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. It can be a bit challenging when dining with my group, but the waiter provided us with excellent recommendations and took great care of our needs throughout the meal.

First time eating here at the Lake Nona location. Overall, it was a great experience. It was Magical Dining. For $40, I picked from the prefixed menu and chose for an appetizer the pita with dipping sauces (humus and babaganoush). The main entrée I chose the lamb shank (very flavorful, tender, and fall off the bone). And for dessert, I chose the chocolate hazelnut baklava (as recommended by the server). It was not too sweet and light (layers of filo dough). It was a great meal and most definitely a great deal with the Magical Dining option. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Lake Nona Area. It's located in the Box Park area with other great places to dine at. I will definitely be back.

Taylor was an amazing server! She helped us with great food recommendations and also explained the menu for us. Thank you, definitely will be back. The patio is pet friendly so we were able to be with our dog 🤍

Incredible Turkish Restaurant. The waiter and the manager both took care of our table with such care and amazing service. The appetizers, the food, the desserts were so authentic and fresh, the portions were great. What a beautiful restaurant. I'm so glad my family and I had a chance to dine here. 10 stars are not enough for this restaurant. The lamb, the hummus, the chicken wow this is a hit.

I ate here looking for some authentic Mediterranean food and I was happy I did. My bf had the lamb with sauce and I had the steak kebabs. The salad was good and so was the rice!

Food - 5 Service - 3 Ambiance - 5 Came here most recently with a large group, and sat outside as the weather was nice. Been here several times over the years. Everything has always been delicious. This time, I got the sea bass platter over rice. SO good. I love that there is a lot of fresh vegetables. The portions are very generous, and everything tastes really fresh and flavorful. We got Kunefe for dessert to share. Crispy, cheesy, and sweet. The perfect end to dinner. My only knock this time was the service. They forgot the Kunefe and we had to wait about 30 minutes after we were done with dinner for it to come out. Not so sure why, but it seemed they forgot about it and it was sitting in the back. They took it off the bill which we appreciated, though. Would definitely return.

Bosphorous Turkish restaurant (Lake Nona) is located there in the heart of the Boxi Park district. Visiting here is relatively easy give. The FREE parking situation within the garages immediately adjacent to the restaurant. On this particular night, Boxi was having its weekend market, so there were lots of families out and about, having a very nice time. We made our reservations ahead of time on Open Table through a link directly on their website. When we arrived we were immediately escorted to our table. The atmosphere is lively inside... colorful, but very warm and inviting inside. This was our 3rd time to Bosphorous, and we've enjoyed each time! The food was excellent! My 19 y/o daughter ordered the Turkish sauté (chicken), my wife wasn't terribly hungry and ordered the calamari for her meal. I've always enjoyed the lamb sis kebabs here, so that was my order. Everything was very tasty, and each had a distinctly unique taste from the other. My daughter's chicken sauce was a very flavorful chicken in this gravy-sauce with vegetables and Basmati rice. The calamari featured lots of rings, but I didn't notice any tentacles, and was just a little oily but it tasted really good especially when you dipped it in the sauce. Thr lava bread is fun: it comes out really tall and full of air, but eventually the hot air escapes and the bread flattens, but it's very very good (we really liked it with the hummus). My lamb kebab was very good (if you like lamb). I ordered mine medium-well, and enjoyed the very soft meat which I was cutting with my knife. The lamb with the vegetable (which I think were radishes, but don't quote me on this) with the rice was a wonderfully paired trio combo. At the end we ended up sampling 2 desserts: the Pistachio baklava, which was a bit heavy on the sweet side, maybe just a bit too sweet. But the baklava was still very good and because we split it 3 ways, the portion was small so it was tolerable. The dessert winner though: the Pistachio gelato (ice cream) was excellent, with little Pistachio pieces in every bite that I had from my spoon. Great food, very attentive service, and fun atmosphere! This has been our experience each of our 3 visits here, so they've been very consistent!

All of the food was excellent. The portions are very large so I would recommend sharing with someone else if you can. I had the Chicken Adana, Lavas (bread), hummus and the Turkish Espresso martini. I enjoyed all of it and would come again to try some of the other things on the menu. The service was outstanding. Our server took the time to explain everything and make specific recommendations and answer all of our questions. He also recommended a few places to visit in the area since we were traveling on business. This would be a nice place for a business dinner or even a date because it's unique and special.

We made a reservation and tried this place for the first time on Thursday evening. The inside is pretty nice and ambiance looks good. Our server was nice. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. We made some changes to our drinks and ordered their mule and old fashioned but without the sugar juice or syrup. This was great because we didn't want the drinks to be overly sweet. Our server said that's perfectly fine. Then we tried their mixed appetizer- see photo. It was delicious. I liked it a lot. For entree we both offered their Adana chicken kebab but swapped the rice with mixed greens instead. That was perfect and tasted very good. Overall the food and service were great and I would return here. Photos are below!

I came here for an anniversary date. It was a our first time trying Turkish food and we LOVED IT! The Bosphorous staff was warm and welcoming, providing us with recommendations for our first time. Their selections were very filling and delicious! We ended up sharing our entree with how big the portion was! We took the half that we didn't finish to go but still wanted to try their desserts. I have a very big sweet tooth, but it was surprising to me that the chocolate hazelnut was so much sweeter than I had thought it was going to be. Although, it was still good. Overall, we had a lovely experience, and will definitely come back again :)

We came here for Magical Dining. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. Be prepared. You'll have leftovers for the next day. It was definitely worth it we got an appetizer, entree and dessert. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful.

Yelp
OMGeee! The food was so good and there was so much of it! I got the lamb shanks. My plate had enough for at least 2 or 3 people. Unfortunately, I was traveling and staying in a hotel, so couldn't do anything with the massive leftovers. I was with a large group for dinner and the servers were good. I got to the restaurant early, so sat at the bar until others arrived. The bartender was very friendly. Great service.

Yelp
For the most part our food was delicious! The chicken was pretty perfect. Good flavors. The zucchini patties weren't our favorite but they were okay. Probably wouldn't get it again. The bread was super fresh and a great side with the meal. The restaurant itself was super nice and rather big. We were seated quickly. We were originally seated at a table meant two people, but realistically it's just not enough space for you to eat comfortably. So we asked to be moved to a bigger table and with no problem they helped us move. This place is more on the expensive side but the prices are justified by the amount of food they give.

Turkish chain restaurant located in a development in what's used to be a cow pasture ; like all the businesses around the area. Swanky; friendly and welcoming. Note to customers who are looking for Halal food.. there are halal options available and indicated on the menu but be aware that they do serve alcoholic beverages and some seatings are close to the bar. Music is played and is above audible. Food : humus; calamari; lentil soup; lavas bread and lemon chicken. Well presented and flavorful. Drinks : water with lemon; serria mist ? Service: attentive and knowledgeable.

Turkey for me, Turkey for us, gonna eat Turkish at Bosphorous. Adam Sandler, eat your brilliant heart out... Good, not great, option if you don't want pizza, bar food, or poke and you're in the area for lunch. Stopped in here for lunch and the food was good and plentiful. It wasn't anything to right home about. I ordered the lunch Chicken Kebap and was a decent size for lunch, especially with the pile of delicious rice. The chicken was a bit dry and I was glad I ordered the $3 cucumber sauce as it needed it. It oddly came with a bunch of raw onions which were a little much. The raw carrots were good and I didn't like the purple cabbage. To each their own, though. Service was a little slow as it was pretty busy, but we were in and out in a little under an hour and were able to get back to solving the world's problems. TLDR: The chicken kebap was a little dry, Sammy Davis Jr. only had one eye.

This Turkish restaurant is a personal favorite of mine! I always opt for the chicken sauté with lemon cream sauce--it never disappoints. While I tried the chicken sauté with tomato cream sauce once, I found it a bit overwhelming. Stick to the lemon cream sauce for the perfect balance. But let me tell you about the lavas bread dipped in lemon sauce--it's a burst of flavors you'll love! Their Turkish coffee is a unique experience, and the desserts are simply delightful. Plus, the service is top-notch, and the music adds to the ambiance. Overall, this restaurant offers delicious cuisine in a lively atmosphere that keeps me coming back for more. It's a must-visit for any food enthusiast!

Atmosphere: Like that they play upbeat music and you are in prime position to view a lot of the area and be immersed. Server: Hadi gave excellent and thorough recommendations. This place is also SUPER dog friendly and brought out a large bowl of water for our pooch. They also provided us a to go container so we could give our pup food too! Drinks: Peach martini- sweet and delicious peach flavor. Blueberry mojito- standard 7/10 Appetizer: Calamari- piping hot, so delicious. Loved the batter and the accompanying almond sauce was served in an edible pita which was cool

Came in 7 pm on a Wednesday night and the place was hopping -- great vibe. Sat at the bar and was handed a menu by the bartender. I saw pictures of the doner kebab on Yelp and knew that was what I wanted. Food came out quickly with a heaping portion of Doner, accompanied by carrots, beets, onions and rice. Everything was delicious and the bar service was exceptional. This place was packed and the quality of food/service shows why!

Went back here with a party of 7 and the service and food was just as good on a Saturday night. Had the white sangria the lamb shank again the lamb kebabs some dips some drinks and everybody was happy except the kids who had to eat chicken rather than chicken fingers but they ate most of my lamb shank lol.

Yelp
We had a wonderful experience. The service was outstanding, with our server providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal. The lavas, a freshly baked Turkish bread, is a must-try and pairs perfectly with the cold appetizers. We also enjoyed the mixed grill for two, which was a delightful experience for a first-time try. However, I would likely opt for my favorite Turkish dish next time because I feel the mixed grill is only good for your first visit. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, and we are looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend giving this place a visit!

Came to Bosphorous for dinner and we had Buddy as our server and he was great! He served us quickly, was attentive to us and as always at Bosphorous, we really enjoyed our meals! We split the mixed grill for two which is an often favorite of ours. I happened to get the Hefeweizen which was very good and my husband got the old fashioned which he enjoyed. We will definitely be back and hope that Buddy serves us again soon!

The ambiance is phenomenal and the menu looks amazing. My wife, son and I came here during Magical Dining and would definitely recommend this place. We tried 3 different dishes from the menu and they were all amazing. All 3 dishes was so good that I could not recommend just 1. I am definitely coming back here. The food & ambience is superb , wonderful service , great portions , delicious food

We have been to other Bosphorus locations, but recently had the opportunity to dine at their lake Nona location. The food was fabulous per usual, the service was wonderful too! We really liked this location, as it felt like you had more space and it wasn't as loud as the winter park location. We did make reservations, but saw that others arriving without reservations were being seated within 10-15 minutes. We really love Bosphorus and would definitely consider coming back to this location!!

Bosphorous Lake Nona.... You did it again! I truly enjoy this location so much between the overall restaurant vibes to the great happy hour deals (delicious drinks btw) and the food always spot on. Our server was amazing, I'm a little upset I don't recall his name! This will forever be my go to Turkish food place and happy hour.

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.

My first visit to Bosphorous in Lake Nona was more than pleasant! The beautiful lanterns hanging from the ceiling, detailed ceiling work, and Turkish music really tied the place together and added to my experience. My server (I wish I remembered her name) was very attentive and even recommended some of her favorite dishes. In terms of food, your tastebuds are in for a treat! The lavas or hollow bread comes out hot, fresh, and bigger than your head. The bread is hollow so do not be alarmed of the size. I ordered two dips for my bread: the babaganoush and cacik (a cold cucumber dip similar to tzatziki). Although I enjoyed both dips, I recommend the babaganoush; it stole the show for me. For my entree, I ordered the lamb sauté which came with rice. The rice was perfectly cooked and the flavorful lamb melted in my mouth. Even though I went to the Lake Nona location, there are multiple locations in the Orlando area. So, if you find yourself near a Bosphorous, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Bosphorous in Lake Nona has a really cute spot amongst a shared commercial area. They've got ample indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating faces two sides of the building and both are covered. There is a play pad on one side so great angle to watch the kiddos playing while you wait for the food to come out. The service is fairly quick and staff are very sweet and friendly. All the food we tried was fantastic. I'll include a list below of the things we liked during our visit here. - Lavas - Mixed appetizer - Falafel - Lamb shank They have a policy in which you have to wait for your entire party to be present to be seated, which I'm not a super big fan of especially on a quiet weeknight. A parking garage is conveniently located right across the street from the restaurant.

Everything from the bread to the hummus to the chicken sis kebab was delicious. Not to mention the impeccable service from our server Can. The recommendations he gave us were spot on. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Orlando. And we just love the way the ambience and vibe this place has to offer.

We went to Bosphorous is Lake Nona, twice in 2 weeks and I live in South Florida. First I have to say I have never had Turkish cuisine and it was amazing. The service was amazing, I can't remember the young lady that helped us the first time but we hugged after our amazing meal and 12/30/23 we had Eunice. He had such a great disposition, and kept us laughing, and was always attentive both of them were I couldn't say enough about their service. The atmosphere is great for dining or having drinks at the bar. The food is absolutely delicious and I have fallen in love with Turkish food and would recommend anyone to go to this place if they're looking for something that's filling but good to eat. We had MIXED APPETIZER (Karisik Meze) A combination of Humus, Babaganoush, Sautéed Eggplant, Muhammara, Ezme, Tarama, Haydari and Zetinyagli Yaprak Dolma. Delicious! For dinner we had red lentil soup, CHICKEN SAUTÉ in a cream sauce, CHICKEN SIS KEBAP, and LAMB SHANKS all chefs kiss. If you are in the area I recommend it. Also check their page and make a reservation, during the holidays the wait could be a little.

Will return. We came for the NCAA tennis championships at Lake Nona'a USTA. Only an hour into the matches, rain came done. So we decided to have lunch. Beautiful lighting features - I'm wondering if the Tiffany lamps got its inspiration from -:) - arts has no borders. I tried their national drink Raki (Maotai to China?) - which is an alcoholic - snaps - made of twice-distilled grapes. Not bad. The namesake lager is good too. The food is delicious, especially the rice : kind of like Chinese oil rice, the most delicious. According to the staff, it made with very little oil. They sauté the raw rice with little oil first then steam (?) it.

Yelp
Service was great and so was the food! The vibe is casual but nice and I was able to get a table immediately. I tried the Chicken Sis Kebap which comes with rice, carrots, onion, and beets. I highly recommend adding a side of the cucumber yogurt (cacik) to eat as a dressing with this dish. Most of the people at the restaurant ordered Lavas (a large round bread similar to pita but fluffier). I'll have to try that with hummus next time! The chocolate hazelnut baklava was also delicious. It came with 3 pieces and could be shared between 2 people.

Here tonight to celebrate 2023 and welcome 2024 with my lovely family ! Glad we booked a few days ahead as this place was teeming with people for dinner time on New Year's Eve. Despite reservation , we had to wait a good .40 mins to be seated . The hostesses were very patient and friendly and I really appreciate how they handled the crowd and multiple requests to be seated early by people waiting. Hard to get a decent vegetarian spread in Mediterranean cuisine . This place has their entire appetizer section without any meat so we ordered the mixed appetizer plate with lavas bread . It was great . Also ordered some Turkish hot tea as I was recovering from a cold -it was so good . My family ordered the chicken kebab dish and more lavas to go with the mix appetizers . It was really good. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I will definitely recommend this place. Will be back here ,next time !

Second time visiting and never fails to amaze me! Really enjoyed this Mother's Day dinner with my family and it was well worth the reservation and time. Best part is we arrived just in time for happy hour so all bar drinks were half off. Tonight I ordered the Turkish peach martini which definitely made my top 10 list of favorite drinks. The sip of that sweet and savory peach flavor brings me back to my childhood when I used to eat peach ring gummies. To pair that off, we ordered two of the mixed grills which consisted of various kabobs of lamb , chicken and amazing seasoning and sauces. I really enjoyed it and kept going back for more. I think one thing that tops off this experience is that the service was Soo quick, friendly , and efficient. Our waitress was always making sure to help and provide us with everything we needed and very very attentive to us. Environment was great with some background music, subtle noise with conversations of everything and praises for the mothers in the restaurants. Parking was easier and located next to Boxi Park and a bunch of other great franchises like park pizza and chroma. Can't wait to be back for all their amazing dishes and desserts!

This was my second time going to dinner here, the first time was at another location, both of which were really good. We had birthday reservations at 7 pm and asked to be seated outside since the weather was so nice. Our server (Richard) was wonderful, he gave my parents an overview of the menu with his personal recommendations all of which were great. We started off with the lentil soup and hallow bread, a really nice combo. The bread was warm, soft, and fresh! My parents ordered the Mixed Grill for Two which was a delicious combination of Doner Kebap, Chicken & Lamb Adana Kebap, Chicken & Lamb Sis Kebap, and Chicken & Lamb Köfte. Served over our rice pilaf. They LOVED it! It was so much food they were completely full by the end of the dish which I'm surprised they even finished. I ordered the Shrimp Sauté which was fresh shrimp sautéed with onions, red & green bell peppers, mushrooms, and rich cream sauce. Served with rice pilaf. The cream sauce was so AAAHMAZING I could have drank it all on its own my goodness. The shrimp arrived swimming in the sauce which I adored because I am a sauce lover. I did have to pace myself while eating because I had wanted to save 1/2 the meal for lunch the next day haha. Even though I only ate 1/2 at the restaurant I was fulfilled. I also had a Peach Martini, which was okay, could have been a tad strong but still delish.

Delicious Turkish food with a nice atmosphere! We had the chicken sauté with lemon and the beef kabob. Both were outstanding! The lavash bread with the dipping sauces is a must! The addition of the garlic sauce was much appreciated! Server was nice and good, but a little slow, but the manager picked up the slack nicely! We tried the pineapple delight for dessert and it was really yummy! This was not our first visit nor will it be our last.

I had a family dinner at Bosphorous last night. I called thirty minutes before to make a reservation and they were able to accommodate us for outside seating. Our server came by immediately after and took our drink order. Fo appetizers we had the bread and a tomato dip. Our server brought the apps but forgot silverware and plates. We still digged in with our hands. The bread presentation was good. The tomato dip lacked flavor for my taste buds. I would have probably enjoyed a hummus instead. After 5 minutes we saw our waiter again and he apologized for forgetting our utensils. We ordered a platter for two. Which was enough for all three of us! It was a combination of grilled chicken, ground lamb served many different ways over rice. The chicken was the best. It was tender and full of flavor!!! The food was warm not hott! So after two minutes from being served our food was cold. The lamb had flavor but it was COLD. Overall I wasn't satisfied nor will I consider dinning in at this location again. A lot of my aquaintances rave about the park ave location. Lake nona location is slacking in service and value.

First time eating Turkish food and had a great experience here. The waiter was kind and we asked him recommendations of what we should get. We got what he recommended and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere of Bosphorous was comforting and well decorated. To start off, we ordered the lavas, muhammara, and falafels. The lavas came out warm and fresh and paired well with the whole meal from the lamb shank to the muhammara. The lamb shank was tender and fell right off the bone as the waiter had said. Portions for lunch were filling. The waiter informed us how lunch is half the size and half the price as their dinner menu.

Such a great place. I have stayed at the nearly hotel twice but this was my first visit to this restaurant. Soo very good! Calamari, hummus, salmon, and salad all delicious. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she was an absolute delight. We sat outside and enjoyed the people watching while we ate. I will definitely be back!

The best lamb ever. Great service and food always is spot on! Complement with the Turkish tea! I feel like I am in Turkey every time I eat there!

While the food was amazing, we would have to put this on the "no" list because of the service. We sat outside, it took a bit for someone to initially wait on us which was fine. we ordered the three course magical dining, but the server forgot to serve the third course. He brought us the check initially but we asked if we could have our ordered dessert first. Then after serving it, he never came back. I had to ask the hostess if we could pay our check. About 4 minutes later, he finally came with the check.

This place never disappoints! Located in the Lake Nona Village Center, the restaurant is conveniently situated next to the free parking garage. The food is so tasty and our server was so nice, making sure we were well attended at all times. I love the turkish ambiance and the music they play. I always come to Bosphorous whenever Im craving Mediterranean food.

As always, the food is absolutely amazing! My wife and I always split the mixed grill for 2 and is always perfect. Great way to sample many different chicken and lb dishes and comes with rice and picked vegetables. Lots of food and so tasty! It is our favorite restaurant!

If you want to eat more rice , raw onion and raw carrot for $35 this is the place for you. Worst place in orlando to spend your money on-a mediocre plate. This if my first post review in 33 years. Im not a social media fan, but this type of experiences need to be shared whit people that likes to go out and try something different than food you can prepare at home.

Excellent! Their food and service is always top notch. Highly recommend the Lavash bread to start with Hummus or Babaganoush. Definitely must try the Boreki, they are so good...basically cheese stuff in philo dough, so tasty! Their meats are amazing. Perfectly grilled. Cannot go wrong with anything on their menu.

I went here today for lunch. I got the babaganoush and hummus with the lavas (hollow bread) for an appetizer. Delicious! We ate every last bite of it. My entree was a veggie dish over rice. I had the baklava for dessert. There are many plant based vegetarian dishes here. The food here is amazing every time. It tastes very authentic and fresh. The waiter was attentive and fast.

Food 3.5 stars Ambience 4 stars Service 3 stars My family and I frequent the restaurants at lake nona town center at least weekly. This evening we dined outdoor at Bosphorous. We expressed concerns about flies/insects outdoors. We had to fan flies away whilst eating, no fault to the restaurant or staff. A fly landed in my wife's beer. The server was kind enough to offer her a new one but to our surprise she brought half of a beer. This was a first. I thought it rather distasteful. I would rather have been charged for a new beer. Needless to say, my wife had no desire to finish her beverage. This would never have happened at a chain restaurant. I did bring the concern to my servers attention and was informed that this was restaurant/bar policy. I'm not saying that we wont revisit bosphorous, but I do think management should reconsider such policies as it does leave a bad taste in a customers mouth.

We tried the lamb shank that was slowly cooked and marinated for several hours. It was ok. -if you're a calamari person, this is the place to have it, it's one of their specialties. -The Lavas bread was divineeee, reminded me of nan bread but perhaps softer. It went really well paired with the lentil soup -The lentil soup was good and is an acquired taste imo -lastly, tried the signature drink. The "Bosphorus Mule" The service was great and the food came out exceptionally fast.

This is my default go-to when I have guests. The winter park location is amazing with it situated next to the park and close to shops. The food is always spectacular and the happy hour is one of the best.
