Great staff, but you do have to wave them down instead of them checking up on you. Saltah (Fahsa) w/ Meat: Was so excited for the supposed fenugreek cream topping, which I didn't see. The lamb itself was tasty tho and came out smoking hot. Less spicy than Indian cuisine. 8.5/10 Chicken Mandi: Lacked flavor and wetness. We asked for spicy sauce, which was a spiceless onion-tomato blend that didn't pair well with the Mandi at all. The chicken did fall off the bone tho, so bonus points for that. Shown is a full $30 portion, which is too expensive. 5/10 Soup (Lamb): Yum, too salty for my dad. 8/10

I often get the same few sides- fava bean salad and mjadarah (amazing rice and onion dish), with the chicken pasta or vegetable lasagna. It hits the spot EVERY time. Not to mention the food is so fresh, tastes homemade, and is healthy. There's a meal for every dietary preference here. The meals are also cheap and you can do pick 2/3/4 meals which allow you to try so many of the delicious sides. The service is nice and easy, and lines always go quick.

I dare you not to get the Pistachio Baklava French Toast. It's so freaking good and even kiddos liked it. The Benedict is also a classic and the burrata app is one of the best I've had. I can't wait to try the lamb hash and dive into their big cocktail menu. The table behind me had a cool shareable cocktail bowl. Great place to bring friends, it's one of the best looking restaurants in town.

They do run out of doner before dinner. The place is full at lunch, so come early. Delicious bread with a nice olive oil-based sauce is complimentary. They refill it, which is a very nice touch. Plenty of staff to take orders and clean. You will be in and out in an hour or less unless you need to wait for a table. Very impressive restaurant near downtown in Cary.

I came to Bosphorus on a Sunday evening for dinner with friends, and the restaurant was packed…read more Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The service was friendly, though it seemed like a team effort, so different staff members would take our order or bring out food instead of one dedicated server. That occasionally led to delays when we asked for refills or extra plates, and we usually had to repeat the request to our waitress later. For dinner, I shared the Kofta Kebab and Lahmacun with a friend, and the portion size was just enough for both of us to leave full. Unfortunately, parts of the kebab were burnt, so maybe we just caught them on an off night. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the warm pita bread they brought to the table. If you're looking to try Turkish food, Bosphorus is worth checking out, but I'd probably order different dishes next time or visit when it's a little less busy.
