    Dinning area/private room

    Located in a pretty busy area. Specially during lunch hours. It's my first time here. I came with a large group of coworkers. We were seated right away. Our servers were very polite and attentive. They started taking orders right away. That is always a plus when you have to go back to the office. I ordered the Lamb Sis Kebap from the lunch menu. You can order from the regular menu as well. It's a very generous portion. I loved the seasoning. My dish was very tasty. I would love to return with my family to check out their regular menu.

    Came here for a late dinner on a Saturday night. The inside is nicely decorated and staff were friendly and efficient. The food was excellent, my lamb chops entree was delicious and also we enjoyed the falafel and baklava. Food portions were large for each entree.

    Cold Cucumber Dip (Cacik) and Lavas (Hollow Bread)
    Alaina S.

    It was so good I'll be back this week with family! Everything was wonderful. Ordered the lavas and the cacik (cold cucumber dip) and it was phenomenal--the portion was large and bread was so pillowy and warm. The cacik was fresh and flavorful and paired perfectly with bread and my cocktail of choice. There was a little wait between receiving my drinks and app but it was all forgotten when it came out lol. The chicken sis kebab was also yummy--chicken was well seasoned and juicy, the rice was perfectly cooked and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Now let's talk decor--this restaurant is so tastefully appointed with gorgeous glass lamps and lighting fixtures throughout. My server Madeline was attentive and knowledgeable and the entire staff was friendly, ensuring I was having a wonderful experience. Fave restaurant of 2026 so far :)

    First time here but it came highly recommended. I ordered the Lamb shank served with rice pilaf, the lamb was tender and juicy, very well-seasoned, it was a bit too salty for what I typically like, it would have been perfect for me with just a tad less salt. we also ordered Muhammara, it was delicious with the Lavas bread. I would come back to try something else because overall i enjoyed it, service was fantastic and it is big enough to accommadate large groups if necessay.

    Is 10 stars an option?! We lived in Orlando for quite some time, and used to love to go to this restaurant's location in Winter Park. It was delicious and so flavorful- the food was always amazing... so would their Dr Phillips location be just as good as we remembered all those years ago?! Yes! I was in town on a work trip and was staying at a hotel on Universal property. Upon seeing this nearby, I was so excited and knew I had to make it over for dinner while in the area. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the sweetest man! He took us to a nice booth immediately, and told us our server would be there shortly. This was a very warm and hospitable welcome from him. Our waitress appeared almost immediately to ask about drinks. I ordered a glass of wine from Turkey and we also got some Turkish sparkling mineral water. We ordered falafel appetizer, lavash, and their mixed meze plate. The falafel we're perfectly cooked and had great flavor and texture. The mixed plate came with their homemade hummus, their homemade yogurt sauce, their homemade red pepper sauce, and a few others. The lavash bread was warm, buttery, and topped with sesame seeds for great flavor. Each dip was amazing - just when you think you've decided on your favorite, it changes with eat bite because they're all so amazingly flavor and delicious! For main course, we shared their beef and lamb kofta - served with carrot salad, fresh red cabbage salad, Turkish rice, and some sauce. Again - the flavors are just perfect. From the char on the meat, to all of the accompaniments, I could eat here at least three times a week! No room for dessert, but I cannot stress enough how delicious all of our food was. The staff, from the host gentleman when we walked in, to our wonderful waitress... this is such a great place. I'll be thinking about our experience here for months to come! Until we meet again, Bosphorus!

    Went to this plaza to eat at another restaurant originally. But ended up walking in to Bosphorous. I'm so happy that I did. The food was amazing. Had the lunch beef kebab special and Turkish bread. It was absolutely delicious. Great service so friendly and attentive. I will return for sure.

    SPECIAL BEYTI KEBAP:  Chargrilled lamb wrapped in pita and topped w/ tomato & yogurt sauces; serviced w/rice and pickled cabbage and carrots
    Beth M.

    Great food, great service, great ambiance! I dined here with a small group two weeks ago on a Tuesday evening. We made reservations at the last minute, and were easily accommodated. We started with the Mixed Appetizer ("a combination of Humus, Babaganoush, Sautéed Eggplant, Muhammara, Ezme, Tarama, Haydari and Zetinyagli Yaprak Dolma"), Lavas (baked-to-order bread similar to pita), and House Salad. Everything was so good - an auspicious start to what turned out to be a wonderful meal! For the entree, I had the Special Beyti Kebap, and my husband had the Lamb Shanks. Both were outstanding. The other three members of our group enjoyed their entrees as well, which included the Beef Sis Kebap and the Chicken Saute with lemon sauce. The portions were huge, so we didn't have room for dessert AND we took leftovers with us. Looking forward to returning when in the Orlando area again.

    Lamb shank was very yummy! I absolutely loved the flavors, and the meat was tender to the touch, practically falling off the bone. The portion sizes here are great too, so it was quite a challenge to finish. I also tried the lavae bread, which had really good texture, fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Swing by this place for the flavors!

    Wow, wow, wow!!! We have been to this warm cozy and magnificently decorated restaurant many times but we always do the "Lamb Sis Kepap" today we decided to try the "Lamb shank" and it was absolutely amazing. Literally fall of the bone! Our server Olga was also great, kind friendly AND efficient. There are several locations of Bosphorous but I have only been to this one and it never disappoints!

    Turkish Tea

    Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine - Dr. Phillips Blvd (My Review) Every now and then, you come across a restaurant that doesn't just serve food--it offers an experience. That's exactly what I got at Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine on Dr. Phillips Blvd. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere hit different--warm lighting, Turkish décor, and that aroma of spices you just know means the meal is going to be good. I started with their famous Lavas bread, which came out fresh and puffed like a balloon. Tearing it apart and dipping it into the creamy hummus and rich muhammara was low-key addictive. For the main, I went with the lamb chops, which honestly felt like a celebration on a plate. Lamb, chicken, Adana kebap--each one seasoned perfectly, grilled just right, and laid over buttery rice pilaf. If you're a meat lover, this is it. I couldn't leave without trying the Pistachio Baklava. Flaky, sweet, and just enough citrus to cut through the richness--it felt like the perfect ending to the night. The service? Super friendly and helpful. They took time to explain dishes I wasn't familiar with and made solid recommendations. It did get a little busy, but even then, the energy in the place never dipped. If you're looking for something that feels both new and comforting, this place deserves your time. I'll definitely be back--next time with a few friends and a bigger appetite.

    We had a great date night here while visiting for the weekend! Patte was our waitress and extremely helpful and attentive to us. We got the mixed meat combo for 2 to share. All of the offerings it came with were so delicious, we were so glad we ordered the variety and got to try so many things! Highly recommend and can't wait to try the one in Tampa opening up.

    Derek M.

    Good food, great ambiance and service. The bread is very good. The portions are large. We got the stuffed cabbage, chicken patties, and the special beyti. Everything was good. I think next time we would do the mixed grill and share with a couple apps. The rice was surprisingly good also. We split the pistachio gelato for dessert, it was just ok. It lacked the creamy gelato flavor I was expecting, was more like an over frozen ice cream.

    Turkish coffee is unfiltered coffee. It was so good.
    Josephine M.

    Bosphorous has multiple locations. We were in Dr Phillips on Sunday and met up some family for lunch. They have very good lamb dishes. My husband and I had mixed meze with lavas bread and Turkish style pizza. Dishes are in big portion. The mixed meze is an good appetizer and can be shared for 4 people. We had no clues what the Turkish coffee is and our waitress was very helpful and recommended to try it with slightly sweet. It was great and we paired it with a dessert. Bosphorous don't disappoint.

The call was answered by an automated service that seemed determined to not let me talk to anyone. Over and over it told me I must order online. It texted me the link to the clover app for ordering. I placed the order with the app which told me pick up would be in 25 minutes. Then the odyssey began. I got a call from a phone number without caller id. I called back and was told Istanbul Grill is backed up and it would take an extra 20-30 minutes. So I arrived at the restaurant 1 hour after ordering and was told they had no idea when the order would be ready. I finally got my order about 1 hour 45 minutes after placing the order. While I understand they are trying to eliminate staff to take and track orders, the whole process and extra wait makes it worse since there doesn't seem to be any feedback to Clover about extra time required. Once I finally got the food and took it home, we enjoyed every bit of it. The baba and lavas was fantastic and the lahmacun was good. I considered ordering family platters, but did not because they all contained chicken. I ordered lamb based dinners which were also great. A single dinner is enough for 2 adults in our experience. I observed most tables were taking home food. So overall food was great. Ordering and pickup were quite bad.

The restaurant feels cozy and family friendly. It's an open space with booths along the perimeter and tables in the center. We were a party of 6 and were seated at the center tables where I had space for my baby's stroller. The food was portioned well and well seasoned. I ordered two skewers of the chicken Shish as there is only one skewer per order and though I wanted to order the grilled vegetables I was told they were out for the day, so I ordered a side of regular fries. The chicken was tender and juicy and served with sliced raw onion Normally I am not a fan of baba ganoush but this was great and slightly smokey but wonderful on the bread. We ordered a pot of the Turkish tea and it was light and slightly floral but very good though not sweet. The Parmesan and garlic fries were delightful. Not overly oily and the garlic was served as a sauce which meant you could have them as garlic heavy as you wanted. I'm glad they also provided a spicy chili sauce as I like a bit of spice. I also had a salaam cola which was pretty much like a regular coke which I enjoyed! Definitely take note that there are very few vegetarian options. We tried to order the fried noodle dish without the beef but were told it could not be done, and so the only other option was the lentil soup. Most items are heavy on the lamb or beef so few chicken dishes as well. Still a great experience and will likely come again!

First off, you walk in and to your left there's a bar that already sets the tone. We were greeted by Kevin--yes, I'm naming names because when service is that good, it deserves recognition. The man knew the menu, gave solid recommendations, and made the whole experience feel effortless. 10/10, no notes. We kicked things off with the hummus, which came with this massive, pillowy bubble bread that was equal parts dramatic and delicious. Then... fried feta sticks. I don't even have the proper words--just know they were dangerously good. And now, the main event: Turkish pizza. Absolutely loaded with lamb, served with fresh toppings on the side, and a sauce that I'm convinced I would drink if socially acceptable. Bold, flavorful, and honestly the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to process your life choices (in a good way). Between the vibrant atmosphere, standout service, and food that actually lives up to the hype, this place understood the assignment. Safe to say I'll be back... probably for that pizza alone.

It is a very lively atmosphere inside, with guest chatter and warm lighting taking over the space beautifully. There are a few tables outside as well. Our server was prompt and helpful.

Our favorites by far were the lamb & chicken sis kebaps.
