Today we started with the $19.99 (for 2) appetizer which was outstanding. Best Falafel we've EVER had. The Doner was amazing for our main meal. Try this place,you won't be disappointe, very authentic Stopped in Saturday for lunch around noon.  It was just us and the owner, Soner, on this visit.  Turned out Mehmet would serve us and we had the opportunity to have a nice chat with him between courses.  We ordered  the Lamb skewer, fries and salad, and Adana, rice, and salad $12.99 every day specials that come with a cold beverage (sodas or waters).  Portion sizes are appropriate and very reasonably priced. Authentic Istanbul Turkish Mediterranean food.  We enjoyed chatting with Soner and learning what else he has in store coming up at the restaurant.  Very happy we gave this place an opportunity and we look forward to coming back and trying more menu items. Restaurant has been there for a year now and is well worth the ride to give it a try if your looking for a taste of this authentic cuisine.

It's a cute little restaurant - there was a big group having lunch when we walked in and all the food looked amazing so I can't wait to come back and try it! "Turk" was behind the counter and was so friendly and helpful (although we don't agree on our favorite Premiere League soccer teams ), giving us info about all the yummy dessert choices. I absolutely loved the walnut crescent cookie - not too sweet, and reminiscent of a cookie my German grandmother used to make. The peanut butter cheesecake was amazing! The others were good, but those two were our definite favorites.

I had two cold appetizers; the ezme and hummus with warm pita bread, the lamb shank entree, and pistachio baklava. I was so surprised at the size and portion servings for the lamb shanks, one piece would have suffice, but I got the whole meal of TWO. I could only finish half of one and had to box the rest up to go. The lamb was so tender that it literally fell off the bone with just the slightest touch.

We ordered the mixed appetizer and the famous lavas bread. To our surprise we got a flat, deflated pita bread instead. Lavas bread is a signature dish of Bosphorous so I called the waitress and asked why the lavas bread was deflated. Answer: must have a hole. The manager came around so I told him the same and added that I had chosen this place for my birthday and was looking forward to the round and puffy lavas bread but got a pita bread. His answer: some time that happens. Sorry but for a restaurant of this level, they shouldn't let their signature appetizer leave the kitchen if it isn't perfect. End of story. And at least the manager should have cared but didn't. Otherwise, my husband and I shared a mixed grill, my mom had a shrimp dish she liked and they did bring me a dessert with a candle which was nice. If I go back to Bosphorous it won't be this location. Parking was Ok but it was also Wednesday.

I wanted something not too heavy and luckily found an amazing Turkish restaurant next door with great value! The owners were very friendly and welcoming.

The restaurant has a good amount of tables with very authentic Turkish decor and memorabilia. I stopped because I was nearby but I'll definitely be back again if I'm nearby or just in the mood for some good Turkish food at a great price!

The man taking our order was patient and helped us make selections for our meal. After paying we headed out to the lovely patio. They kindly brought our food out to us and even checked in later to make sure that we were enjoying everything. The food was outrageously delicious! I was especially impressed with the portions. I ordered a bowl and my sister ordered a gyro and neither of us were able to finish our food. The fries were honestly the highlight - top tier French fries! I can't wait to stop in again.

In short : A gastronomic journey through Central Asia to delight your palate…read more This is a diamond in the rough ! I have to be honest .. I have never had food from Uzbekistan.. and I had to google where the country is located (Central Asia next to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan) nonetheless .. it was a delicious adventure. We ordered a pitcher of the organic Kompot... it was a lightly sweet drink with notes of hibiscus , apples and berries . It was light and refreshing . Appetizers : Samsa- a pastry found in Uzbek cuisine. Flaky, savory, and filled with beef/ lamb and onions. This was nice.. we shared one.. it's a decent size . Mezze Platter- your traditional dip platter with hummus ; babaganush, Haydari, spicy ezime (this was not spicy) and a spinach dip. Served with warm pita bread.. also delicious. Uzbek bread- a fresh baked bread served with butter on the side. This was just okay. I wouldn't get this again. Mains- Chicken shish kabob- delicious . Perfectly cooked.. not dry. Served with some type of tomato sauce on the side. To'y Osh- star of the show in my opinion. Lazer rice that is topped with chunks of beef . Cooked with yellow raisins, carrots and sautéed onions. This was to die for . Soooo delicious and very unique to any rice I've ever had !!! Desserts: Honey cake - a buttery tower of beautiful flavors. I cannot describe how delicious this was. Soft, creamy, and gave notes of graham cracker crumbles. Get this! Baklava - just okay .. didn't taste fresh . Overall I highly recommend this unique find .. friendly service and beautiful decor made me feel as if I was in Central Asia . Also we noticed many Russians and Uzbekistani's eating there as well so it much be a good representation of their cuisine!

This was my first time here and I was really sure what expect. I had a peek at the menu online before hand and thought that I'd at least try the lamb. The menus are QR style and already on the tables. The table was also preset with dinner plates and silverware. Once we began filing into the restaurant, our server came out with water and glasses. A beautiful, fancy, blue set of glasses, mind you. I was beginning to think that this is a bit fancier than I had anticipated. For my order, I decided on 2 lamb jazs and a pot of Uzbek green tea. The tea pot was very cute and fancy. Each meal came out correct and everything looked delicious. My lamb was pretty good, and I enjoyed having the warm tea with dinner. The portion sizes were surprisingly large, most of us had to get a to-go box. The prices range from low to high and they seem to have menu that provides something for everyone. Overall, I liked this place and would consider dinning here again.

Lale is a small, cozy restaurant with the most delicious food. I am a huge fan of Mediterranean food, but had not had Turkish food before. I ventured to try out a few new things and everything was stunning. Fan favorites for me and the table included the mixed grill (even though it says serves two, if you order appetizers it can absolutely serve 3), the hummus (truly some of the best I've ever had), and the Kunefe. The Kunefe - oh my goodness - it's like nothing I've ever had before, but our table devoured it and stated that they just found their new favorite dessert. The service is attentive and you can tell that there is a lot of love put into the food that is served to you. I look forward to returning many, many more times in the future!
