   The best part of this restaurant is the Lavas and Humus. I ordered the chicken saute with cream sauce and it was tasteless. The rice was clumpy.

   Very nice experience. Food very good, service good. Only complaint is very limited beer selection especially on draft. No Bosphorus Brown. Still highly recommended.

   Fue nuestra primera vez en el restaurante. Rápido que llegamos nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. El mesero nos explicó todo el menú con mucha paciencia y contestó todas nuestras preguntas. Incluso nos recomendó algunos platos. La comida muy buena y tuvimos que pedir cajitas para llevar porque era mucho. Un lugar para repetir!!

   Outstanding visit to Bosphorous. First time here and will definitely be back again and again. The food was flavorful and cooked to perfection, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was inviting. Can't wait to come back.

    The food was outstanding! It was very popular- make a reservation! The noise level was a little bit high. But we were able to talk easily, and really enjoyed our meal.

    We had the Iskander kebab and the lamb sis. Food was great, our server Romina was very knowledgeable, attentive and on top of details. Travis the bartender made a great Bloody Mary. Staff is friendly. It’s always a pleasure dining at any of the Bosphorous locations.

    Went on a double date with friends last night and everything from seating to finish was smooth. Have been here several times because the atmosphere is fun, the employees here are passionate and knowledgeable, and the food is full of flavor. Bosphorous always serves a great meal and we will be back!

    Host was great, he recognized my companion had a harrowing day and accommodated her. The food was fantastic and came quickly, the lamb shanks were delicious. It was not clear to me that this location was in a mall, luckily parking in the garage was nearby and free. Great place to stop after picking up a guest from the Orlando airport. Slightly noisy for an older guest but we did dine on a Saturday evening so some patron noise is expected. Overall, I will definitely come back for the food and the service. Prices were slightly less than what I would expect for the quality of the food.

    We enjoy this restaurant but this time we went with friends who had never been. They LOVED it. The lamb shank bones rattled on the plate after finishing every last morsel off the plate it was so good. We tried a bottle of the turkish wine that was Excellent. Of course the mixed appetizer plate with the LAVA bread is the best start to any meal. While the restaurant was quiet so you can have a nice conversation at the table, the area outside the restaurant with vibrant with lots going on. Boxi Park was fun with DJs and dancing. The Holiday decorations were beautiful - all in all an excellent visit to Lake Nona for Great Food and Atmosphere.

    I’ve been to Bosphorus so many times and know the menu by heart. This was not a good experience. I asked for my beef kabobs to be cooked medium. They came out well done. Sent back and they came out again way overcooked. Third time was not the charm as this time they cane out rare. Tired of sending back. My husband’s lamb was also tough as leather but he chose not to send back and did not eat. VERY DISAPPOINTING evening. No management came by to apologize

    Not what we expect from a higher end restaurant. They didn’t have our table even after making a reservation. Then they sat us outside. We ordered our food. The main entrees came before the appetizers. When we asked for the manager and tried to tell him the situation, he wasn’t really interested. He simply said they were short staffed. What does short staff have to do with bringing the food in the wrong order? Then he “comped” us our entrees, but we ended up canceling it anyways. Killed the mood for us when we were there trying to celebrate a special accomplishment for my kids.

    This was my first time at this restaurant as I was in Orlando pre-cruise, and I'm glad I took the chance. I don't have Turkish cuisine in my large hometown so I'm always open to something different when I have an opportunity. It was convenient to my hotel (about 500 feet away), and they currently have patio seating if the weather is nice or you just enjoy sitting outside (which I did when coming from a cold location). The service was speedy. I was quickly seated, and having checked out the menu online, I had a general idea of what I wanted. I decided to go straight for an entree and chose the lamb saute, which is slices of lamb with vegetables in a stew type of dish. Served with rice pilaf on the side, the one thing missing was some type of traditional bread too (I guess that had to be requested). The lamb was tender and the sauce wasn't too spicy but was flavorful. The dish was filling and the rice pilaf was a perfect addition. I had prosecco to accompany it, so that was nice and refreshing. The meal ended with a cup of Turkish coffee that hit the spot and made me remember how good it is. I look forward to returning when I'm back in the Lake Nona area again.
