I've never visited Turkey BUT Bosphorus must come pretty close in its culinary manner. I HAVE eaten in many other Middle Eastern restaurants and dollar for dollar, Bosphorus offers top value. Last week I enjoyed tabooleh salad and beef liver with onions for lunch – dishes I love – and the liver was better than my bubbie used to make.... More

I have been here 3-4 times now and each and every time, I fall more in love with every aspect of this restaurant. This family run business is exceptional and they are so friendly, the service is fantastic. For dinner tonight we had a potpourri of items we wanted to try for the first time and it was a delightful... More

This is a small local place that serves great food. They aren't the fastest but they have great service and really care about their costumers. Highly recommend for good Mediterranean food!

I eat at Bosphorus frequently as I live pretty close by - I love their food as well as the option to eat inside or outside depending on the weather. I will agree with some other reviewers that their service (sometimes) can be a bit slow, for me it seems to depend on the visit. I have tried much of... More

This place is a fantastic place to have great Turkish Mediterranean food. But beware if you are visiting between 11am - 4pm; you might get the worst service. They seem to be working in shifts; so it's the GUY working until 4pm and a LADY working from 4pm. I gave a call asking if they were open; the guy said... More

We eat here often and the service & food are always outstanding. It is a small family owned & operated authentic Turkish restaurant. Make sure you don'y fill up on the bread before your meal. If you empty the bread basket it will be refilled very quickly. We have tried virtually every item on the menu and can honestly say... More

Love this place. We spent a few weeks in Turkey and this is very authentic. Love the Pidas. Will be regulars. Only improvement would be to spring for a dimmer switch and dim the lights a bit.

At this great family business the proprietor greets all at the door with a smile and gives a level of service I have only seen in Turkey throughout the meal. Don't let the simple decor fool you this is the real thing. The home made pide bread served is to die for, the soup and Kebaps are delicious. And save... More

Ate here today with my hubby for lunch for the first time. We ordered to share, the cigar appetizer and mixed grill meat plate. First the bread, oh the bread. Warm out of the oven, served with a olive oil dipping plate with spices. All food came out fast and hot. The hot tea was excellent, I had 3 cups.... More

Second time we visit the place, and the waiter remembers everyone in the group! The food is awesome, amazingly cheap! and even though they do not serve alcohol, you can bring your own wine. This is our newest pick for our ladies dinner !!!
