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. At Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine, we prepare each dish daily using only fresh, never frozen, Halal meats. 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.

    The food was great. The two of us split a cold appetizer, some bread, the turkish pizza, and an entree and could barely walk out of the place. Our server Umit had great recommendations.

    I was super excited to try this restaurant. My friends asked to book a place because I have challenges with allergies. Usually middle eastern Mediterranean food is pretty safe except for nuts. When I got to order the manager brings up an allergy chart that I think is awesome to keep their clients safe. However everything had soybean oil. I was down to one side dish without the rice because that’s the only oil they use to cook. My disappointment in this particular restaurant cuisine is to stay true to the roots of using olive oil or another none soy based. I understand it for the frying part as most everyone uses it due to cost and high index of heat. But in your overall dishes, even the hummus and eggplant were made with soybean oil, in my experience is not acceptable. Overall service was great, my friends said the food tasted good.
