Very nice Mediterranean restaurant. I visited this place on the day before Mother's Day, and it was…read moresurprisingly not super packed. It's got a nice location on the central road in Squirrel Hill, but it's a bit hard to find parking. When I got there, I got to try their shish tawouk (chicken kabob), mujadara, salad with feta, and iced mint tea. The tea was pretty alright. Refreshing and a nice mint flavor; I think they might make the blend in house. They also brought out some nice pita before we started the meal. For my main course, I ordered the shish tawouk. You usually get this meal with the rice pilaf, but they were out, so I got to try the mujadara. I'm actually quite glad! The chicken was tender, and the portion was very fair. They served it with a nice tomato sauce, but I also asked for some garlic sauce on the side. The sauces both seem to be homemade, and definitely go well with the chicken. The mujadara was surprisingly delicious. They top the dish with crispy sweet onions. It's a mix of lentils and some other grain. Very good! One thing to mention generally is this place closes quite early, usually around 8 or 8:30 PM, so do keep it in mind. It is also very clearly a family endeavor, with the mom managing most of the tables and the kids always helping out. Very nice place!

Lamb shish kebab dry and overcooked I don't even know what soup we got but that was horrendous I would like to mention the baked good did look great but I had zero desire to spend anymore of my money here Inside was very spacious so seating shouldn't be a concern if you actually waste your time going.

Some restaurants have a quality difference between dine in and takeout and I've not found that to be the case here. My fave items on the menu are: - lamb shish kebab - adana kebab - pide with Turkish sujuk - lahmacun - hummus Parking is really easy since they have a lot and they have multiple tables inside. For events, they have an area on the side of the restaurant to set up a long table which was great to fit a larger group. The only reason I removed a star for this place is because I've not had the best luck with desserts. The pastries in the case look beautiful but I've tried them multiple times and didn't enjoy them.

I got the Beyti and it was very good, though I wished it had come with a salad. My wife did not like her lamb shish as much as my meal, but I think overall we liked both.

A huge part of what makes this place so special is the owner, who is often (if not always) working the front. He embodies the absolute best qualities of true hospitality: he is attentive, genuinely warm, and deeply welcoming. He has this wonderful gift of making you feel completely looked after and valued, which is the ultimate comfort after a long, exhausting week. It is rare to find a place where the service feels this personal, consistent, and heartfelt. Whenever we order from Bosphorus, I get the Karniyarik, and I freaking loooove it. My bf loves any of the kebabs. The food is always incredible, full of flavor, and never disappoints. Whenever we can, we will sit on their patio which is dog friendly. Great vibes all around!

Easy, timely ordering and pickup. The food is excellent too. The meat dishes were delicious; we had chicken and lamb Adana and both were very tender. Each dish also comes with a good helping of pita. Falafel was excellent too. The platter comes with six pieces, rice, and salad, whereas the appetizer comes with four pieces. The Bosphorus salad was very tasty and had a nice light dressing. Cigarette Borek was a crispy, yummy and beautifully presented appetizer. We also went in person one Friday evening. The food was delicious as always but the experience wasn't quite as great.

During my visit with a few companions, our main issue was the wait time: a collection of reheated falafel balls, premade salad, and hummus -- all of it uninspired -- took about 20 mins. to arrive. Moreover, the service was downright lazy. Not only do you have to order from an electronic, self-serve kiosk; and not only will the servers (if there are any) not bring your food to your table; but you even have to maneuver BEHIND THE SERVICE COUNTER to get a drink, should you choose to buy one, from the refrigerator!
