I absolutely love the food here. The owner is also awesome. The seasoning on the meat is amazing and the portions are great! So so good!

I haven't been feeling well for the last week so take out was in order. Saw the reviews for Bosphorus and had to check it out. Cons: small parking lot in front, side street parking and apparently parking in back though I didn't see how to get there. Tried to call ahead but they put me on hold and never came back. Service time - took about 1/2 an hour to produce 3 entrees and a Bosphorus appetizer platter for two. Restaurant is small and only has about 5 tables and seating for maybe 15. Two other orders along with mine were placed at about the same time. Referencing the item # from the menu really helps. It got a little confusing since there are different "Bosphorous " combos. Bosphorus appetizer for two was the one item that didn't blow me away on value. 2 small stuffed grape leaves, small portion of hummus and basically a standard Greek salad- about $10. Falafel was flavorful but pretty dense. Beef and chicken kabobs are actually small diced chunks of meat; meat appeared grilled with some char. The kebabs and meatballs were a little dry; the gyro meats seem to have that dried crust from being cut in advance. Pros - Value without doubt. Each entree could easily feed two. Ordered the Sultan plate for two and it was a to go clamshell stuffed to the top with the assortment of meat. All the meat had great flavor. Our favorites were the beef-lamb gyro and the chicken gyro - tender and flavorful. The stuffed grape leaves were delicious. We ordered the Bosphorus appetizer platter and wished we just ordered the grape leaves, though the hummus was very good. Owner and staff - exceptionally friendly. Warm handshake from the owner. Acknowledged and apologized for taking so long and already put in complimentary baklava in the bag....which was also delicious. Truthfully, the experience today is bumped up purely by the interaction with the owner. He was warm and friendly as was his staff. Food had a few shortfalls but nothing that can't get dialed in with practice. read more

Nice place! Very small! The owner welcomed me and asked me about the food as he did to all the tables. I told him I came because of the reviews on Yelp! He told me he made the food with heart and haven't read the reviews before. The Turkish coffee and baklava were my favorite. I will visit it again ! read more

Bosphorus - So good! - Turkish Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

YUM! Great food, great staff, great experience. We grabbed dinner here on a Thursday before a show at The Gothic and were not at all disappointed. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and offered a special off menu item. We ended up going with some veggies, meats, and side dishes. I'm a huge fan of grape leaves and these guys have some of the best- flavorful and moist. Nothing worse than a dry grapeleaf! One of the guys working even let us sample some of what HE was having for dinner. I can't wait to come back as my new pre-concert dinner tradition! read more

Wow, again Yelp did not let me down! Amazing food and service. They lived up to their five-star reputation. The flavors were excellent, we had the platter for four. It fed us for more than two days. Can't wait to go back! read more

Bosphorus - dinner special meal - Turkish Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

This Turkish restaurant is great! It's a tiny restaurant with maybe 3 or 4 tables. I have visited many times over the years. The food is always great and the service very friendly. Usually the owner (I believe) is working the restaurant. I usually take-out. I love the dolmas/stuffed grape leaves. I once got a few pounds if their gyro meat for a small gathering and it was a big hit. I tried many items on the menu and always great. read more

Food is excellent & big portions. Spent time talking with the owner. Small comfortable ambiance. Highly recommend getting together with friends to eat the special platter! read more

This place is so good! Such a quaint little neighborhood joint. Very unassuming, but everything is packed with flavor. Their fries are some of my favorite from anyplace, they remind me of McDonalds in all the right ways! read more

Best Turkish Restaurant I have had in awhile. My girl and I split the Sultan Platter and it was a huge portion and it was extremely delicious. Had a mix of meats chicken and beef-lamb gyro, chicken and beef kebab, 2 meatball kebabs topped with grilled green peppers, onions and tomatoes. Served with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pita bread and choice of fries, rice or salad). I can see why this restaurant gets rated in the top 50 in Denver. It lives up to the rating. This is a great hole in the wall with only about 4-5 tables. This place deserves 6 stars. ITS THAT GOOD!! RUN DON'T WALK HERE! read more

Me and my husband in Sunday return this place after 3 years. Nothing didn't change,food was is delicious,fresh,falafels is perfect. Thanks so much read more

The food is fantastic. Probably the best grape leaves in town. The proprietor is a very nice gentleman who is attentive. This place is small, quaint and, at least to me- someone who has never been to Turkey- has a real vibe of authenticity. No frills. Just great tasting food delivered in the perfect quantity. read more

Melih the owner is a true gem, a wonderful burst of energy and one of the most passionate owner's I've ever met. He cares about his business, his customers, the quality of his food and providing an overall great experience. The food he serves is made from the heart. It was made with love and the taste is a testament of that. The moment you walk in you are greeted with his warm smile and comforting energy. My husband and I were blown away by his hospitality. We were even happier with the quality of his food. The gyro meat was out of this world. I had the falafel and it made me think I was back in Israel. My husband had to stop me from stealing his gyro and fries. Melih thank you for opening your doors and letting us all experience your warm and bright spirit and eating your delicious food! We will be back. read more

My friend and I were in the mood for a Mediterranean lunch and chose this place based on price and location and it was a definite win! So much charm and culture in the intimate dining room even the Turkish tea and coffee were served in traditional ware. The food was delicious and the one man operation, (at least that day,) was friendly and efficient. I learned by reading on the menu that the restaurant is named after the first of three bridges that connect the East and the West and they hope to do the same with their culinary offerings. I love this place! read more

Amazing little place with an incredible owner! I had been craving Turkish food for quite a while and was excited to see this place was right by the hospital where I had an appointment. I walked past two very fancy places that were packed for lunch, and I'm glad I did - this is a diamond in the rough! I ordered the İskender kebap and it was very tasty (though I think the sauce could have had more spice). The prices are incredibly reasonable and the food is great. But the overall best part was that the owner and chef asked me if he could sit and chat, and I was so glad I said yes. He's an incredibly nice and well-traveled man who makes you feel right at home. He doesn't do any advertising and prefers to have news spread by word of mouth - and please take it from me, it's worth it! It's a small unassuming place with a big flavor and an even better ambiance thanks to the owner. If you're in the area, please do yourself a favor, stop in and chat with Melih and enjoy some great Turkish food! I will definitely be back! read more

Weird little place, has the feel like you're walking into your grandma's house; delicious food tho, keeping the grandma vibes alive, amazing service as well! I only wish their dining room was a little bigger but the flavors are on point, super authentic! Great job guys :) read more

Fantastic restaurant, best place in Englewood. 10/10 would recommend. The owner is so friendly and generous.

This place deserves more attention. I love the gyro blend meat they serve and i will say. Definitely go here for their platters. Those are the way to go personally. Its always good proportions, sometimes a little too much rice but they compensate with the coffee and the atmosphere. One of the few GOOD middle eastern restaurants read more

Soo delicious I came Sunday and I'm back on Tuesday, can't keep me away from this place 100/10 recommend!!! read more

Bosphorus - platter for two - Turkish Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

D-lish!!! Gyro platter is fantastic... so is the hummus! The veggies are fresh & the staff & chef are attentive and kind. Very good food!!!

The food was just like Turkey. The Donner Kabob, salads, and spinach pie were so tasty. it's a one man operation, at least when we were there, but service was fine. Very small but nice. This is a find! read more

Food is authentic and flavorful! I could literally feel the spices dancing over my tongue. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Definitely worth the adventure!!! read more

Would give 3.5 stars if available. The hummus plate was very good - nice garlicky homemade hummus with fresh pita. We shared what I think was called a Sultan's Delight for 2, which was OK, but would have been much better if the amount of meat was cut by about 1/3 and replaced with more onions and peppers. (There were only a few stray bits of vegetable.) Service was friendly and attentive, and the price was right. read more

A friend showed me this place after his own friend told him about it and we decided to check it out, not gonna lie the place is the very definition of a hole in the wall restaurant, though I mean this is only the best way. Its a one man operation with the food cooked off just to the side so you can see everything that goes into its making. The owner is a nice dude and we had nice talk with his while ordering our food and during the meal itself. The place is tiny with maybe 4 tables in total but it works for what is. The food was affordable and the portions rather large as well as being very tasty, this place is something you should try if your ever in the area and want to branch out to a more obscure ethnic food choice, trust me you wont regret it. read more

I don't go to Mediterranean restaurants that often but me and a few friends, whom all share close to the same birthdays, decided to go to this gem to celebrate. Let me tell you, this place may be small, but their food and customer service speak volumes! The chef makes their own authentic yogurt tzatziki sauce and their chicken gyro meat was delicious. They were kind enough to surprise us with grilled pineapple for dessert. I can see they genuinely love what they do and to ensure their customers are happy. Would recommend this place if you want to make your spirit and stomach happy. read more

They seem to do alright, I've had a few items but not everything they have. I like having them in this area adding to the variety of places to dine from. read more

Absolutely delicious. I've been here many times and it's my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. Mom and pop style place with great service.

This place had takeout during the covid pandemic. The man was friendly with a positive attitude and even offered me a free side of hummus along with my order. It is a small place, I would probably not some in because of the small dining area. For me getting the food to go is important. There was hand sanitizer and the employee wore personal protective equipment. I got the gyro sandwich with fries. The meat was tasty and the salad and sauce on the gyro was fresh. I have been there a couple of times for takeout. I would recommend it to people who like turkish food or might want to try it out. read more

This is the issue with a lack of turkish food here.... no one knows what its supposed to be so they're impressed by what they got. I was so excited when Bosphorus opened as I LOVE Iskendar Kepab. Its supposed to be slices of salty gyro meat over soaked pita bread covered in an oily tomato sauce and covered with garlic yogurt! Translation- delicious and stewy and an explosion of flavors. What I got was unseasoned tomato sauce- about 2 tablespoons worth over dry chunks of bread and little curls of gyro meat. It was so dry we asked for extra sauce which I'm pretty sure was one step away from the Hunts Tomato sauce can. I am sad that people who don't know better don't get the full experience. I can't say we'll ever come back, we'll just wait for the next Turkish restaurant to open! read more

Great food and service. I ordered the sultan platter which come with a big rice plate. The portion is big and so delicious. The hummus also taste really good. read more

Another quarantine discovery. Note the owner (whomever waited on me) was not wearing a mask and didn't keep distance. I'm not taking points away, just thought people should know. I do not recommend getting appetizers. The portions of entrees were ridiculously large. The grape leaves were different from one's I've had in the past, but in a very good way. I tasted a hint of citrus which really brighten them up. The Falafel was nice and crunchy, perhaps a little dry but good. We also got the hummus and I didn't have the capacity to even try it. My wife said it was yum. My main was the Iskander Kabob. I was feeling adventurous and was not disappointed. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful. It really was a portion for two. My wife enjoyed the gyro salad. She too thought the meat was wonderful. She noted freshness of all the ingredients. There were only two kalmatta olives and two pieces of feta in her gigantic salad. Many places make salads with half iceberg lettuce to keep costs down. Not here, all romaine lettuce. The value is very good. The food is fresh. This place is local. Stop by and support your local restaurants. You can thank me later. read more

Always delicious and always welcoming banter especially if you are a footy fan. Been searching for quality middle eastern for a while I'm Denver and this place is my favorite so far read more

I use this app to check out the restaurants before going, but I don't usually post review. The place and the owner deserve the best comments. Firstly, he was so hospitality like Turkish people! He made me feel I am in my home! I have tried meatballs plate. It was one of the best I ever had. He cooked well and presentation of the plate was incredible! I have had baklava and Turkish coffee after meal, they were awesome!! Highly recommended. I will be back for sure! Thank you for everything !! read more

I was so excited when I found out that Denver was getting a Turkish restaurant! I love coming here, the food is great. My favorites are the Iskender plate and the donner sandwich. This is a small restaurant and the owner cooks everything in the kitchen right next to the dining area. He is a great man, very proud of his food, and will always stop by to make sure that you enjoyed your food. Leave room after your meal for tea and baklava, you won't regret it! read more

What am I missing here? While I love supporting local small business, the food here just wasn't very good. It was very 'one-note' if you get what I mean, with no real distinguishable flavors. My experience was very 'meh'. Maybe I didn't order the right thing. I will try a gyro next time. read more

I went there recently for the first time. The place is not big, just a few tables. Nothing fancy; however, you don't come here for the decor, you come here for the food. I was in Istanbul last year and eating here brought me there again. Very yummy and fresh. I got the appetizer plaiter and a meat platter for two people. If you like Turkish food, you have to come here. read more
