Great restaurant. The selection of food was awesome the staff was helpful and attentive. The lavas was nice. I would order a bit more crispy next time. The humus was nice but nothing crazy spectacular. The red lentil soup was so good. I could have made a meal with that and the lavas. The Shepard salad with beef Shis Kabob was plentiful and filling. Paying extra for Feta cheese was different for this type restaurant but was plentiful and tasty. Wish I live near one of their locations. Will be back to visit when in the area.
This place is worth the trip.. if you never had Turkish food before, this is a great introduction. Our server Nadya walked us through the menu and made good recommendations for us.

Appetizers: lavas bread, humus

Entrees: Lamb shank and Chicken Sauté

Dessert: Pistachio Baklava
Absolutely delicious meal in a beautifully unique setting! Definitely not a cheap meal but well worth the money. The hummus was phenomenal!

The food was absolutely delicious. Portions are very generous, we took leftovers home. Great service.
Great atmosphere enriched with beautiful lamps, lightning and cultural music. Food tastes delicious. Justin the manager is great and he makes sure you are pleased and enjoying your time while he answers any questions or explain the best way to extract the best out of your Turkeish plates. Our server Jesse was very attentive and provided great service with a smile at all time.

Mmmm, service was good… but food was average and pricey. I had their house salad with chicken… the chicken was great… salad average. Blueberry mojito was nasty!! I’m a mojito aficionado and that was horrible.The lava bread was delicious… just get the bread…😒

This is our go-to spot in Hamlin area. The food is consistently good and the service never let us down. The ambiance is always nice but note that I only come here not during popular time. I always sit outside with my dog and the servers always bring him his own water bowl. My favorite dish is the Grilled Lamb Adana Kebab. It never disappoints. I always end the meal with a nice pot of Turkish tea.
Pro Tips: Come during off hours for the best experience. When I come during prime dinner time, the wait time can get up to 45 minutes and I never wait around for that since I would start getting hangry.
Food is never ready when ordering ahead for takeout. Be prepared to be told it's almost ready and then wait 15 minutes, even when it is empty. Very small seafood and vegetarian selection. No vegan. Food is pricy, but usually very good. No free bread. Despite owner response, 4 visits and never offered or given complimentary pita bread.
First time here. Had a business meeting here with a client from California and ironically he happens to be Armenian. Wonderful food. Our server Tanya was very good. Will definitely come back here again.

We love Bosphoros! Great Food! Terrific Service! Unusual Mediterranean choices. The Lamb Shanks are to die for. So good. The Feta salad appetizer is just yummy. Fast but never rush you. Just a great place! The shaved veggies (in lieu of rice, which has wheat in it) has an unusual tasty sauce. So Good!
I honestly always love this place. I usually get the platter for two that way it gives a variety for me. I like to also order the bread to eat with my meal. I usually order the Turkish sauv blanc which I enjoy. Service is always average to good. The ambiance inside is pretty with all of the lighting decor. They also have outdoor seating as well and can accommodate larger parties. Parking is nearby.
Service is awesome. The quality of their food still amazing, even throughout the Pandemic Time, they delivery 1st class service and quality! KIARA is a great server, she accomodate everything for us and give us a 5* service, we will be back! Best Turkish Cuisines in town!🤩
I started out with the Bosphorous in Winter Park, and it was amazing. So I had a friend who lived out this way, and I wanted to show her how great this place was. The Winter Garden location did not disappoint. Equal quality food, great service, excellent experience.

I started out with old reliable: the Mixed Appetizer (Karisik Mese) (A combination of Humus, Babaganoush, Sautéed Eggplant, Muhammara, Ezme, Tarama, Haydari and Zetinyagli Yaprak Dolma). This is an amazing sampler platter that has a dip for everyone. My personal favorite is the red pepper-based one that's a little nutty. Don't remember the name, but you'll see it.

That sampler would be useless without the Lavas (Hollow Bread) (Our signature, baked to-order bread creation. Highly recommended for all soups & appetizers). This massive flatbread is hollow, but you get double the visual surface area to rip up and use to scoop up those amazing dips from above. Not only that, but you can use this on your entrée to make little wraps/taquitos.

Speaking of entrees, I got the Lamb Sis Kebap (Skewers of tender lamb marinated in our chef’s unique seasonings and chargrilled to perfection). Their lamb is perfect. The hunks of lamb are so big that they do not overcook. Super tender and juicy, perfect to cut up, put in a piece of lavas, and top with some of the pickled veg they give you for a nice little taco.

I also got to try the Turkish Style Pizza (Lahmacun) (A popular Turkish dish with freshly ground lamb blended with peppers, tomatoes, parsley and fresh herbs on thin crusted dough). This was truly excellent. We got warned when we ordered it, telling me that a bunch of unhappy, vanilla people probably were unpleasantly surprised by this dish, but I loved it. A crispy flatbread, splattered with veg and ground lamb. Very unique. Very good.

So finish things off, we got the Turkish Pineapple Delight (Layers of moist yellow sponge cake, pineapple and mousse topped with white chocolate shavings). This was nice. Moist cake, soft mouse, a lot of softness, not a ton of texture, but no complaints. It was delish. Not too sweet.

Overall, another five star location. I'm gonna check out Lake Nona later on this month. I'm sure it'll be the same.
