I'm pretty sure I previously wrote this review and it disappeared and ended back up in my drafts. Here it is again: great service, pleasant and welcoming staff. I came in one evening after working out with a trainer across the street. I enjoyed the Mediterranean salad. The Mixed lettuces with garbanzo beans were fresh. The roasted red peppers, red onions has a nice fresh crunch and the diced tomatoes were just right. The roasted pecans were a nice touch, and feta Taziki's homemade balsamic vinaigrette complimented the overall taste. I had a side order of falafel and these were very good and fresh. I look forward to returning soon.

SIDE FALAFEL
Austin L.

first time ever coming here and my meal was very delicious! we got the whipped feta, falafel, and the lamb gyro. the whipped feta was creamy and fresh. it had honey on top which gave it a nice sweetness. the lamb gyro was great! lamb was moist and had so much flavor. the falafel was just okay. not great, but not bad. overall, great experience and i would come again in the future to try other items.

Cafe style seating with tables outdoors. The chicken gyro was bland. It was average tasting and the pita was a bit stale. The beef on the beef sandwich was tasty. A few minor tweaks on the food would bump this up. There are many other Mediterranean places in the area to enjoy .

Hummus

We did curbside service today and it was EASY! Completed our order online, pulled up, hit I'm Here as instructed in the email and our order was delivered on time. Food was hot and fresh! Nothing was a miss, will definitely return to this location. We ordered: Grilled Salmon Feast with Tomato Cucumber Salad and Greek Dressing for the Mixed Green Salad. The salmon was cooked PERFECTLY. 5/5 rating For sides we ordered: Hummus with Soft Pita Bread - great flavor! 5/5 Spicy Pimento Cheese with Crunchy Pita - amazing flavor and consistency 5/5 From what we could see, everyone had on their masks and following normal COVID19 protocol.

"Consistency Matters"…read more The food is delish, let's start there. This hasn't been on my bingo card for a while and boo hoo! The garden pizzette and chicken shawarma are fan favorites for a reason. Chicken Shawarma is a (IMO) well seasoned cinnamon forward profile that delivers a tender chew. Don't let the cinnamon description deter you. The flavor is complex, savory, and very good! The garden pizzette is delicious. The perfect mixup of feta, mint, tomato, and cucumber...Chef's Kiss (dip in hummus and/or tzatziki for that extra, extra added flavor). We also loved the tzatziki/lebnah sauce. Perfect balance for our Americanized palate. My biggest complaint, would be consistency. I ordered twice in one week. Each meal was delicious, but noticeable different. Not a huge factor, but one I thought worth mentioning. Bread was whole wheat ... cool/ not a problem .. but also not my preference. All in all, a darn good meal! Sold side options. Fast casual Mediterranean/Lebanese : 4.5

I usually go to the Cary location for multiple catering orders that I place per month. The people…read moreat the Cary location have been very polite, friendly and helpful. I was going to be closer to the Raleigh location this past month so I decided to go to the Raleigh location and see if they could do the same as cary. I went in and asked a young man he said that should not be a problem for me to put in my catering orders and then have my payment done a certain way at the register, as they usually do, in cary. I placed my order and got to the register and then the very nice girl that was there was going to ring me up. She wasn't sure how to manually enter my credit card information that I needed to give, so she asked what I'm going to assume was her manager or whoever was in charge that day? The woman turned around and looked at me as if I walked in and started in her face. Her face was so disgusted, twisted up, and snarled with disapproval. She asked me, with a huge attitude, "what was going on here?". I politely explained the situation, which is that, at the Cary location our company pays over the phone when I arrive. I handed her the phone to give her the credit card information and she was speaking to my boss (who is a very world-renowned doctor) about the payment info. She was so rude to him and said "well usually we don't do this but we'll do it this time". I informed her that from now on, since it was such a problem we will gladly go to the other location or just another restaurant in general. The younger people at the register were extremely friendly and polite and really made this experience the most positive thing from this whole trip to this location. As I was leaving the female who had the attitude earlier did say that she " was sorry, and that she just didn't know what she was walking into". At this point, I really did not care about an I'm sorry, because I will never go back to this location. I don't care who or what she is, but if she doesn't know what she's walking into, then the best idea for her(if she had any business or common sense)would be to approach it in a professional manner and not with a stank attitude. I have worked in doing catering sales,amahing businesses, throwing events, and ordering multiple catering orders for other businesses that I run. I have never and would never, approach anyone like this if I was uncertain of any situation. It puts a really bad look on their whole concept. I have already talked to multiple people about this and told all the physicians that I work with. I have also discussed this encounter with other people who do multiple orders for catering and other event networking groups. I will never be ordering from this location again. I hope whatever they do, they get it right, and start hiring people who appreciate having a job, to make sure that no one else feels so turned off by someone like this. I'm only giving a two stars for the Friends League kids that were at the counter and at the cash register

Came here for a work dinner, and it was the PERFECT spot. Great ambiance. Not too crowded…read more Excellent service. Upscale spot without being too pricey. It was fun doing shared plates across everyone. I don't think I could recommend a more solid spot for a corporate group dinner in downtown Raleigh. Everyone greatly enjoyed and the food was tasty all around.

We chose this high-end restaurant for a special evening celebrating both an anniversary and a…read morebirthday. There were eight of us, several of whom traveled nearly an hour to be together. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable evening became one of the most chaotic dining experiences I have ever had. To be very clear: the food was excellent. The appetizers and entrées were delicious. This review is entirely about the service and overall execution, which was extremely disappointing. My sister-in-law and two friends arrived before I did. Approximately 20 minutes after I arrived, my sister-in-law still had not received her glass of wine, while the other two had finally received their drinks. She was then told that the wine she originally ordered was unavailable--approximately 20 minutes after placing the order. She chose another wine and ultimately waited about 45 minutes after arriving to receive her first drink. Our appetizers were also delivered sporadically. The first arrived after about 25 minutes, with the others coming roughly 10 minutes later. Our remaining drinks took another 20-25 minutes, and at one point two guests still hadn't received theirs and had to remind the staff what they had ordered. I spoke directly with a manager at that point because I wanted to make sure he understood how the evening had started. Given the repeated delays, we decided to order bottles of wine rather than continue waiting 20+ minutes for individual drinks. I told the manager exactly which three bottles we wanted and even pointed them out on the menu when he asked. Five minutes later, our waitress came back with a pen and paper and asked us to write down the exact wines we wanted from the cellar. At that point, I was honestly flabbergasted. When the wine finally arrived, one bottle was placed on the table unopened. The waitress attempted to open another, apparently hurt herself, and walked away without explaining what had happened. I later learned she had injured herself and genuinely felt bad about that, but the lack of communication left us very confused. She eventually returned with one opened bottle--but we had no wine glasses. One of our guests had to ask for them. We requested one for everyone, but two were missing. We had to ask again, and the wine still wasn't poured. When I asked about the other two bottles, I was told she couldn't open them and was waiting for someone else to do it. We had ordered three bottles for eight people and could only actually drink from one. Again, the food was fantastic, which made the service issues even more frustrating. At the end of the meal, I asked to have the bill divided into three checks. We were told their policy doesn't allow customized checks for parties larger than seven. Normally, I would have accepted that. However, given everything that had happened, I asked if they could accommodate us. I wasn't asking for eight separate checks--just for the drinks and appetizers to be divided among three checks so my husband and I could cover my sister-in-law, who had only had one drink. They eventually accommodated the request, but not without considerable frustration. They then offered complimentary desserts because of the problems. We declined dessert and asked instead to have two drinks comped, which they did. Unfortunately, there was one final issue. We were given QR codes to pay our checks and added 18-20% tips, despite everything that had happened, because we knew many of the problems weren't necessarily our waitress's fault. When we received the printed checks afterward, we discovered that gratuity had already been added to all three checks. It had not been clearly indicated on the bills we paid, so we had unknowingly tipped twice. We had to get the manager involved yet again to have the duplicate gratuity corrected. To say the evening was a cluster**** would be an understatement. I worked in fine dining in my twenties and frequently dine at high-end establishments. I understand that busy nights happen, mistakes happen, and not every issue is within a server's control. But this was not one isolated mistake--it was a continuous breakdown in communication, timing, coordination, and attention to detail. What makes this particularly disappointing is that eight people made a significant effort to travel to celebrate an anniversary and birthday together. We came expecting a special evening. The food was worthy of the restaurant. The service was not. I sincerely hope this was an unusually bad night, because with food this good, the restaurant has the potential to deliver an exceptional experience. But at this price point and for a high-end establishment, the level of disorganization we experienced was simply unacceptable.

Come within 2 hours of opening on a Sat/Sun for doner. Get the doner wrap or iskender (if you eat…read morea lot). It is the best doner around, just as good as what you get in Istanbul. 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.

Place was EMPTY on a Thurs at 6pm. Service was truly bad....like we had to get up after being seated for 15 minutes and ask the hostess if we could get a server to help us....in an empty restaurant. 40 minutes after being seated, we got our food. The food was just bad with the exception of the flatbread I ordered that was pretty tasty. My husband had the falafel and veggies and was given horrendously over seasoned and tough falafel with super under seasoned and undercooked veggies (like chunks of raw carrot). The other sides we ordered were a flavorless Fatoush salad and very mid rice. We never got the pita that was offered to us and after the second reminder, we just gave up on that. We tried it. Won't be back. There are WAY better options in the area for dinner.

The traditional lamb gyro meat is tender and flavorful, not too salty. For the price you get a pretty packed on bowl, it also comes with a small slice of pita bread which was the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of, it tasted a bit oily but we also came around 7 pm. Overall I would definitely be back and to try the chicken and falafel proteins.

This area can become busy given the number of restaurants in this plaza. Walking in the Greek restaurant feels casual and very clean. To order you'll walk up to the right side of the counter and let the staff member know what you are ordering. You'll then proceed down the line and add your choice of meat, toppings and sauces/dips. At the end of the line you'll pay for your food and then grab an open table to sit down once you've checked out. I ordered a bowl with a side of pita, lemon rice pilaf for the base, chicken & traditional gyro for the meats, cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta for the toppings, and hummus, tzatziki, spicy red pepper, and creamy garlic for the sauces. The bowl was excellent and tasted fresh. The meats were perfectly cooked and the creamy garlic sauce was by far my favorite sauce. Overall, would highly recommend stopping by Fresko Greek Kitchen if you are in the area.
