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. Elena was a very attentive server! We were with another couple catching up/visiting with friends and we had a great experience.

    We arrived on time and were promptly greeted and shown to our table. Dylan was our server and he was very polite, friendly and professional. He explained the menu and the food and made some recommendations. The lunch portions were perfect and hot. The lamb dishes were delicious! We’ll be back!

    Food tasted great but pretty overpriced. Got the shepherds salad which was just a combination of raw mixed veggies in dressing. Was tasty but not for over $20 😅 our server was great and the inside is cute!

    After enjoying the Bosphorous locations in Winter Park and Lake Nona, it's great to finally have one here in Tampa. All of the staff from the hostess to our server were so friendly and happy. The food was delicious and exactly what we've come to love from their other locations. The restaurant is beautiful inside. Some of the most delicious tasting lamb and chicken kebabs I've ever had.
