We've been to the Bosphorus in Winter Park a number of times over the years. This was our first time at the Lake Nona location and it was truly exceptional! We had the mixed appetizers of dips and the Mediterranean sea bass. The food was delicious and the service spot on. We'll be coming back soon!

Food: 5/5 absolutely incredible! I went during the lunch special ( before 3pm) and ordered the lamb shanks and the portion was much better than expected. I love their pickled vegetables, which I had to get on the side (some dishes don't include them). The lavash (bread) is a must! Service: 5/5 very hospitable and attentive. Ambiance: 5/5, love the atmosphere, and there's lots to check out around the area as well.

I live in the area and was craving lamb shank I've traveled the world and that's one of my favorites but hard to find and when you do usually you have to give the restaurant notice. So I actually called to make sure they had it all the time. They said yes and I went for an early dinner. The waitress, Deb, was super nice and really knew what she was talking about she gave me some advice on some appetizers and I was already set on the lamb shank. Since it was early I had the choice of the lunch or the dinner size so I opted for the dinner portion so I had leftovers. The appetizers were super good which made it hard to stop eating before the main course. Deb was very attentive when it came to drinks and food and even took time to talk to me. I will absolutely be coming back the meal was outstanding and so was the service.

Stopped in as a 3 for lunch. Sat at a booth with great views of the bar. Big windows to people watch or sit outside. Waitstaff was pleasant and willing to please. We started with flat bread with a few spreads, hot and delicious. Then dined on lamb, chicken saute and chicken skewer with rice. Personally I didn't want the saute meal to ever end. We had to pass on dessert since we had no room left. It was a dining pleasure. Enjoy!

What a lovely place to spend time with family! Service was impeccable and food was outstanding...! Can't wait to visit again and enjoy the menu. My sister was in town and we got together with our cousins. We all ordered different items from the menu and shared.

This was such a lovely dining experience for my daughter and I. The staff, decor and food all five star. If you don't visit this spot, you're missing one of the fine dining establishments in Central Florida. I look forward to returning.

One of our favorite places to celebrate birthdays. @bosphorous_turkish_cuisine always comes through with exquisite Turkish delicacies, dishes, desserts and cocktails we truly enjoy. Service is always amazing and inviting. And the Turkish decor is simple yet stunning (cue entryway pendant light!). You can never go wrong with their Mixed Grill for two (assortment of meats over the fluffiest rice), sigara böreği, lavas and hummus. This time around our calamari was a bit chewy so it wasn't as enjoyable as previous occasions. Definitely add their Turkish style pizza with ground lamb as topping as a shareable because it will hit all the right taste buds, promise. : : They have multiple locations accross Central FL. but our fave is : 6900 Tavistock Lakes Blvd #100, Orlando, FL 32827

We were visiting Disney in FL and stopped in Lake Nona for dinner. Bosphorous Turkish restaurant was highly recommended for happy hour and lamb. All drinks were half price for happy hour and the margarita and espresso martini were fabulous. We ordered the bread "pillow" that was served warm and was light and airy. We got the hummus and babaganoush which were both tasty and served fresh. For our meal we got the combo platter that included kebabs with beef and lamb and rice. The food was Excellent along with the service. And the area around the restaurant was beautiful for walking around after dinner. Be sure to check out the binary code parking garage and displays around the building that explains the coding.

Bosphorous Turkish restaurant (Lake Nona) is located there in the heart of the Boxi Park district. Visiting here is relatively easy give. The FREE parking situation within the garages immediately adjacent to the restaurant. On this particular night, Boxi was having its weekend market, so there were lots of families out and about, having a very nice time. We made our reservations ahead of time on Open Table through a link directly on their website. When we arrived we were immediately escorted to our table. The atmosphere is lively inside... colorful, but very warm and inviting inside. This was our 3rd time to Bosphorous, and we've enjoyed each time! The food was excellent! My 19 y/o daughter ordered the Turkish sauté (chicken), my wife wasn't terribly hungry and ordered the calamari for her meal. I've always enjoyed the lamb sis kebabs here, so that was my order. Everything was very tasty, and each had a distinctly unique taste from the other. My daughter's chicken sauce was a very flavorful chicken in this gravy-sauce with vegetables and Basmati rice. The calamari featured lots of rings, but I didn't notice any tentacles, and was just a little oily but it tasted really good especially when you dipped it in the sauce. Thr lava bread is fun: it comes out really tall and full of air, but eventually the hot air escapes and the bread flattens, but it's very very good (we really liked it with the hummus). My lamb kebab was very good (if you like lamb). I ordered mine medium-well, and enjoyed the very soft meat which I was cutting with my knife. The lamb with the vegetable (which I think were radishes, but don't quote me on this) with the rice was a wonderfully paired trio combo. At the end we ended up sampling 2 desserts: the Pistachio baklava, which was a bit heavy on the sweet side, maybe just a bit too sweet. But the baklava was still very good and because we split it 3 ways, the portion was small so it was tolerable. The dessert winner though: the Pistachio gelato (ice cream) was excellent, with little Pistachio pieces in every bite that I had from my spoon. Great food, very attentive service, and fun atmosphere! This has been our experience each of our 3 visits here, so they've been very consistent!
