The Turkish food you'll come to love is expertly handcrafted by our experienced chefs and their culinary teams. While many of our staff have Turkish backgrounds, it’s the quality and authenticity of our food that truly define us.

We use the freshest vegetables and the most authentic Mediterranean ingredients, many of which are imported directly from Turkey, in our dips, salads, and sides.

    We were celebrating a birthday and wanted someplace different and special. Bosporus Turkish Cuisine exceeded our expectations! Our waiter Aaron was so fabulous! We had the hummus appetizer, chicken sauté & shrimp casserole. Since it was my bday, they surprised us and let us choose a dessert to celebrate 😍. It was delicious and had pistachios on top. I can't wait to come back! Howard & Beth Tripp

    I have been to the original in WInter Park and loved it. I have now been to this location 3 times and love it every time. Great food and well made drinks. If you have not tried this place, I highly recommend it.

    Service was great, food and quality of the ingredients fall short however. Even though they claim to be a Turkish restaurant, it’s more of a Turkish / Mediterranean fusion, don’t go here thinking you’ll get authentic Turkish food.

    Very good authentic Turkish food , enjoyed the food and some good cocktails . Well priced and large portions ( order carefully ) , we shared ‘2 people mixed grill’ between four of us . We have eaten Turkish food in New York and this was comparable to the experience we had in New York . Will go back again to enjoy the great food

    Was a little taken back when upon check in we were told there would be a 20+ minute wait for an inside table when that's what I reserved. Ended up being only a few minutes though. The food was delicious! Definitely returning.

    Delicious food , attention to detail and great service. Once our server found out that we cannot eat spicy foods and foods with pepper he arranged right away fir the manager to come and talk to us. He was very understanding and accommodating. After living in the Tampa Bay Area for over 30 years and dining in several restaurants I never had such a great experience.

    The staff is amazing, the food and drinks are excellent as well. Staff is very attentive but almost a little too much. As much as I can appreciate the attentiveness, it would have been nice not to have been interrupted so many times. We also go a nice table next to the open windows but they were closed to to another table across being cold which was a little disappointing as we were enjoying the open breeze as were others - they shouldhave moved the other table. We also ordered mix platter for two and only received one tiny sauce which it should have at least had two and we were charged extra for the second which was a little annoying. This hence is for the four stars and not 5. Overall I would still recommend this place!

    Wow 🤩, what a nice surprise. Right on S Howard and it took us this long to discover it. Our server Ceylan was from Turkey and helped us through the authentic menu with a beautiful smile. Brandon the manager explained the buildout of his restaurant which resulted in great atmosphere with an authentic Turkish feel. The food was phenomenal. We’ll be back for sure; but don’t miss this one.
