But don't let that fool you. They serve some of the best Turkish food you'll ever have, hands down! Their labneh and fresh bread are absolutely amazing. The chicken kebab with brown rice is one of my favorites -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Honestly, I don't think there's anything on the menu that isn't good. I personally prefer the chicken dishes, and they never disappoint. A true hidden gem! I love the service Merve is such a sweetheart!

4 stars for the dishes we ordered today. What I truly…read moreappreciate about this place is its commitment to "All Grilled Cooking". It is very rare to find a Turkish restaurant on Long Island to stay do true to grill. No fuss just simply beautiful grill food that lets ingredients shine. One bite, and I felt like I was straightly transported to Istanbul.

Ali the owner and his talented staff always make the experience great no matter how busy the restaurant is. I came here with very good friends of mine that I knew loved Turkish food. We came here on Saturday night and when I arrived the restaurant was packed. Despite that we never felt rushed, they were well staffed and worked together as a well oiled machine to make the experience flawless. The weather was perfect so we sat outside, there is ample parking either in their parking lot or across the street. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with hand blown glass chandeliers from Turkey. For the sake of brevity I'm going to list all the dishes we had. Each one had its own unique flavor down to the Lavos Hollow bread with its slightly buttery flavor. You have to try each one. Prices are very fair and portions are great. We had the eggplant with tomato sauce, Turkish Ezme, Calves liver cubes, a large Shepherd salad, for appetizers. For entrees we had two of the Bronzino, the Shrimp Shish, and the Lamb Shish. For desert we had the Chocolate Baklava, the Kunefe, the Turkish coffee, and a of the Apple tea. Ali made a couple of special dishes including an eggplant dish and home made hot Halvah for desert. It's amazing how small the world really is. My friends thought they knew the owner Ali but could not pinpoint from where. After talking for a while they realized they knew him from when he worked at another Turkish restaurant in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn called Liman. It has since moved to Coney Island. Ali opened Bosporus Cafe Grill in Port Washington in 2014 and I'm am glad he took the risk to go out on his own. His business partner is the chef and is also a butcher. They've combined their talents to provide one of the best restaurants experiences you will ever have. I've been coming here for several years and it never gets old. I highly recommend them for great food, service and atmosphere. There's a lot to see in Port Washington and you can take a stroll by the water afterwards.

When we got inside, we were greeted with one of the owner, who looked like a sweet grandma. She handed us menus and guided us to our table. We wanted to have a real experience and asked for her recommendation. Best decision! First we were provided with tea and water and then the spread. The spread had a cheese roll up, the best fresh buttered bread, dried bread, two different types of cooked eggs, different cheeses, nuts, jama, veggies, etc. The joy of mixing all the flavors together... It was so much fun. You could create a different taste with every single bit. Fresh ingredients, great host and chill spot. We love to experience this again!

We've gotten their mixed platters (for 2 and for 4 in a bigger party) which always includes lamb chops, chicken chops, doner, shish kebab, chicken kebab, Adana and a Turkish meatball alongside rice/bulgur and cheesy bread, red cabbage pickle, and salad. Always fantastic with meats cooked to utter perfection. We've also tried the yogurtlu doner with tomato sauce which is solid, but not my fav. Shepherds salad seems unassuming but is FANTASTIC. Hummus is mid-tier but passable. Adana Kebab is absolute perfection and a little spicy and delivers very well too. We also tried their onion kofte kebab special which I wasn't sure about at first since I'm not a huge fan of lamb that tastes like lamb but it grew on me fast -- a little sweet and sour, tangy, and extremely rich from the fattiness in the meatballs. Truly a perfect plate, though perhaps not everyone's cup of tea. The service is always attentive and not overbearing. The restaurant is massive, clean, and always has patrons -- very cute interior and lots of booth options (yay!) Desserts are solid though I feel they are a touch overpriced. I enjoyed the ice cream and the lava cake. Dervish has become a staple in our comfort food rotation.
