    The Bosphorus, the 32-kilometer (20-mile)-long north-south strait, has been a waterway of the…read morehighest importance since ancient times in Turkey. Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.

    06/11/2026 Always love coming here…read more Came with wife and SIL and once again, Zeugma delivered. Pretty much the same meal as last time, with one exception. We tried the Antakya Hummus (Pine nuts, cucumber pickles, tomatoes, brown chili butter) and will be adding this to our list of favorite appetizers... So very good! The sea bass my wife and SIL were again, beautifully prepared and delicious as always, as were my lamb chops (Kuzu). While the lamb hummus was excellent, the miso calamari was.... not as tasty as I remember it. Different chef, different day... won't keep us from coming back soon.

The pan seared calamari was naked which is more healthy than fried! The miso aioli made the big difference with the squid! It was different and delicious. The squid was tender and not chewy! For dinner I ordered the beef shish kebab. It came with two kebab. The beef tasted delicious with the Turkish style marinade. I think it would have been more worth if they added another kebab stick. The pistachio rice was good. It was a different taste with nice almonds slices. The only negative were the kebabs and rice were cold like the onion salad. And I loved the onion salad. We also ordered the salmon artichoke. The pan seared salmon was over cooked. They should have seared it in a shorter time. And it lacked seasoning believe it or not! The artichoke Brussels were a little on the burnt side. The spicy tomato sauce tasted more like ketchup. We will not be ordering this in the future. We also ordered a side of fries and Tahini brussels. The fries weee very tasty and I savored every piece. The Brussels were tasty as well. For dessert, we ordered rice pudding and baklavas. Both weee very good.

Which was a bit of a shock at first but honestly as parents of a 2 year old, we welcomed the silent room (besides the Lebanese music). Ordered the dinner for 2, the cucumber yogurt dip, and a mint tea. We were so happy with this place. The ladies working were so sweet and everything came out quickly and fresh off the grill! Let me also point out that the grill master was a woman. Awesome. Can't wait to go back again for a casual night and BYOB next time. Just curious why the place was empty! And we didn't see one person come in to pickup takeout. What's the deal?

    Five years later, still five stars…read more Stopped in today for lunch and got some baba gahnoush. It was delicious, smoky and creamy. Also tried the Burak and they were good, not overwhelming and they had a nice crunch. My mom ordered the sujuk and it was great. The sausage almost tasted like chorizo. I asked for the chicken shawarma gyro but I got a platter instead. There was some miscommunication but I'm kind of glad there was! It was delicious. The rice pilaf is very good. The hummus is also smooth and tasty. It was shockingly empty for lunch but I suppose they do a lot of takeout and are busier on weekends. The ladies who were serving were so sweet and accommodating. Love this spot!

I've never seen it where seating wasn't available though I always get takeout. Food: VERY good. My husband always orders the Athenian gyro which he says is very good. I opt for the build your own with Chicken Shish- Grilled, diced cucumbers, Kalamata olives, power greens, Greco garlic spread dip, and drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette which is top tier. I always order with whatever platform has the best deal. Because this was a spontaneous trip I didn't do my research though and now realize I messed up. I used Menufy which is their business platform and was disappointed that I could only get 3 toppings though it says the toppings are "unlimited." DoorDash is up to 4 toppings and is actually $1 cheaper for the build your own. From what I've seen DoorDash is usually least expensive with the most incentives so try that first.

I went in to pick up the food, the restaurant was quite clean, it was small but there was some seating available. I ordered the platter (yiayias platter) and Greek salad. Yiayias platter comes with rice, beans, potatoes, chicken and tzatziki. I'd say portion wise, I wish there was more rice. But otherwise it was a lot of chicken for a decent price (I find Greek food generally more expensive). Everything was really good, cooked well and flavorful. The Greek salad was fresh, no gross yellow or rotting veggies. And the sauce and feta cheese was plentiful. I'll definitely be coming back here!
