    Baba Ganoush
    Kevin P.

    I had a great experience at Bosphorous and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and a great atmosphere. The baba ganoush was amazing, full of flavor and some of the best I've had. You can really tell the food is fresh and made with care. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is very bright and vibrant, creating a really nice atmosphere to relax and enjoy your meal. Overall, a very positive experience and I will definitely be coming back again.

    Very dry kabob and rice. I think for Florida it's really nice, but they would go out of business if they had other competition in the area. The bread is authentic but who eats dry kebob and rice just like this. No salad and nothing. This place is way too hyped up and I heard so much about it, and when I finally got to try it, I was disappointed. I'd rather go to authentic home made places.

    "The Black Widow" VC French Champagne by the bottle here OuiOui.
    Cheri Y.

    Popped into this place as they serve Veuve Clicquot French Champagne by the bottle. Upon entry, I told them it was my B-day & wanted some Veuve Clicquot, as it's my fave French Champagne OuiOui. We also ordered Hummus & pita breads. The pita breads are $1 each. The bartender served us hot champagne. We complained, they brought us a bucket & added ice. It was still warm anyway as it was not a cold bottle of Champagne. Yuck. The hummus was served with a grainy texture, not smooth, like it wasn't processed enough. No chickpeas, no sumac. They put paprika on top of theirs. I asked for sumac and they did put some, but it was old, stale sumac, not fresh. Will never return. Do not recommend.

    Lamb
    Andrea D.

    Ended up here on a Sunday for lunch. We tried to go next-door to the French café, but it was so packed that we couldn't move. We came in to Bosphorous we were greeted immediately. The waiter was really nice. He had great recommendations. We had the appetizer mix that came with lots of different dips and the pita bread. I had the lamb on the lunch menu and my friend had the chicken sis, both tasted really great. I was not expecting a whole lamb leg. I thought my order would've had lamb pieces but I didn't mind. It was absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend it. The ambience was calm and inviting. We sat outside and it was a perfect day. Overall I would come back here.

    Babaganoush
    Brittany I.

    Came here to Bosphorous from out of town. Recommended restaurant by my family who resides in Winter Garden. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere here. Food: - Babaganoush with Lavas: ordered Lavas (hollow bread) to dip with Babaganoush. A good eggplant flavour, balanced fresh ingredients and plenty to share! A great starter. - Calamari: lightly breaded calamari, nothing remarkable, but a generous portion & crisp. Good to start off the meal if you like a lil crisp and seafood! - Mixed plate for 2: a plate with doner kebab, chicken and lamb kofta. Served over rice and served with light salads on the side. A great way to share and taste all their meats that they have to offer. Would recommend for sharing between 2-3! Service: friendly, accommodating, and attentive! Came here for my birthday and they were able to celebrate me with a small baklava :) appreciate the kind touches. Overall, would recommend! A great family/group dinner place for Turkish food!

    Hummus and babaganoush
    Victor B.

    I love Turkish food, actually all Mediterranean. I just took 1 stars off because I saw and advertise saying during haply hour, choose 2 dips and enjoy a full labs bread, we asked the server and said there doesn't exist (even when was at their social media) but OK, we ordered the 2 dips and the bread. Bread was really good, could have more seasoning and a little bit more cooked but was good. The babaganoush was amazing. The main course we ordered the chicken adana and the lamb adana. Both were really good, rice was azmzing and the beet so so good! Atmosphere it's OK, they have an outdoor area, but wish our server explained better and explained about the breed at advertisement (but if you go there, order, it's really good)

    We found this place quite by accident and good thing we did, because it was FANTASTIC!! The service, decor, ambiance and food were all OUTSTANDING! I really wish they had a location in Miami, FL. Highly recommend!

    Lamb Shank
    Pat J.

    We always enjoy Bosphorous and were excited to see it offered on Magical Dining this year. Mohammed (sp?) was our server and we appreciated his friendliness and efficiency. Mike's lamb shank was SO tender and plentiful we were able to take some leftovers home. We also enjoyed the half orders of Baba Ganoush and Humus. Lentil soup paired with Lavas was very nice even though it's not really soup weather in Orlando in September. But the copper (?) topped tables provided plenty of coolness to put us in a soup mood. Chocolate Mousse dessert was different from most chocolate mousse we've had but was a very nice, light palate-cleansing end to the meal.

    Mixed grill platter (for 2)
    Vanessa B.

    Visit: June 15, 2025 TLDR: Turkish restaurant - a constant for delicious food ranging from lamb to vegetarian. Highly recommend for everyone, including the kids. REVIEW: I have been to this Bosphorous location numerous times of the years, and we have celebrated a lot here - new years, new jobs, and the latest - recognition for Father's Day. It was very busy - almost a reservations required type situation. We had a seat indoors. There is a nice covered outdoor patio, but it was at 100% humidity because of the impending rain. FOOD: I have never had a bad meal between the Winter Garden and Dr. Phillips location. My husband and I usually share the mixed grill for two, which is a very generous portion of lamb, chicken, rice, and vegetables. My mother-in-law finished her chicken sis kebap. We always get the lavas (bread) and hummus. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. SERVICE: Mohammed was our server, and he was amazing. Refills, high fives for my daughter, everything. He was on top of it. Kudos to the rest of the team too. We have always had great service, which also helps keep this restaurant in the line up for places to go in the Hamlin area. ATMOSPHERE: It is usually pretty lively when busy. It isn't where I'd go for a quiet meal, but that's OK! It is beautifully decorated. In all, I think I made it pretty clear how much I like Bosphorous. I look forward to the next celebration.

    Pretty good. Not great. Kinda pricy. I guess we are spoiled from eating amazing food all over Turkey when we visited. Beautiful decorations and nicely furnished.

    Grilled Lamb Adana
    Nick G.

    We are locals and come several times a year. I LOVE the food here. Today I ordered the lamb sauté which is served in a red sauce and with rice pilaf. Great flavor and a much healthier option than many other restaurants in the area. Big fan of Bosphorus!!

    Tracey E.

    Perfect lunch/dinner vibe. I love turkish food and this always hits the spot. I never remember what the bread is called with the white sauce but we get it every time. Ive been to a few locations around orlando/greater orlando but the Winter Garden location is my favorite. I really like the vibes here. The outdoor patio is perfect. I genuinely cant remember if I have ever chosen to eat inside because the weather has always been so good when I have come here. When i was a kid my dad used to make us turkish rice and honestly this place also gives me nostalgia. The food is so good and fresh. The fresh fruit juices, the food and veggies , you cant go wrong. The cocktails are refreshing and light. Ive never not enjoyed a meal here. Staff is friendly and always polite. If you're looking for a nice place to eat in Winter Garden, id highly recommend.

    Chilean Seabass served with rice pilaf on top of the salad
    Steve R.

    The presentation of the food was very well done. I had the chilean Sea Bass which tasted fine but when compared to true Chilean Seabass that I've had in the Caribbean, there was no comparison the Seabass out of the Caribbean was definitely thicker flake here and this so-called Chilean Seabass was much thinner much fish you're tasting, which makes me wonder if it was truly Chilean Seabass. Everyone in the party had something different and all three other members all enjoyed their meals Of course, the fresh bread which is brought out and looks like a huge loaf because it's inflated with the hot air for cooking was very tasty and I think more people at the table raved more about the bread than anything else Our weight staff a.k.a. service was excellent absolutely no complaints as for the ambience. I can't say this location which apparently is one of six has a lot of ambience to it. It's newer and it's more a typical high ceiling restaurant which carried a lot of noise.

    Do you use halal meat?

    Do you use halal meat?

    Is it costly? I don't mind paying for good food and service but let's face it everything is expensive.

    Costly/price is a personal gauge but dinner can be "pricey", they do have a nice happy hour pricing though.

    Is the menu Vegan Friendly?

    There are several vegan options on the menu both in the appetizers and entrees

    Hi, is this place family friendly?

    No it is not... took my children here and they were extremely rude and treated us like we were going to take off without paying. Definitely won't be coming back with the family.

    Is this place pet friendly?

    Yes it is, they have a large outdoor area and they love dogs.

As you can see in the pic, the chicken gyro with extra tzatziki (which was missing as usual) weighed 9.6 ounces INCLUDING the box and paper...for $12.49!? 2) The size is way down from before. Less chicken, less tzatziki. 3) I tried to put the order in online multiple times with 2 browsers. FAIL. Had to call. 4) We stopped getting the hummus. It's just bland. 5) We stopped getting the sides altogether...they're just too expensive. 6) It feels uncomfortable in the store. Always quiet and like we're an inconvenience being there, so this time we did take-out. Apparently we're not alone, not a single customer was in there on a Saturday at dinner time. It's very frustrating to spend over $26, pick up the order and the bag feels like it's no more than 1 pound with 2 gyros & 2 sides of extra tzatziki in it (b/c the extra tzatziki we paid for ON the gyros is never there). The food is usually fresh (although one of the pitas seemed less than fresh this time), but it's just too expensive for what we're getting. I don't mind paying $11.99 for the base price on the gyro if it's a decent size. It just hasn't been the past few times.

I called in our order and they were quick to answer and the entire meal was ready when they promised. Plus, since I was wishywashy on picking sides, the gentleman told me he'd hook us up with something different for each entree. I unfortunately didn't get the name of all of them. Hummus was good. Babaganoush was tasty. There was a spicy sauce that was tasty with a bite. That was all I got to eat because the rest were lapped up by the others. We each ordered chicken a different way. I got the kabob, parents got a wrap, son got shawarma. Each came with a salad unlike any I'm used to. Lots more exotic than just tomatoes, carrots, and onions. The chicken itself was amazing. So tender, every piece. All on a bed of rice that nice held in the flavors. And the baklava: excellent. As I picked up the food, the place was beautiful inside. Lovely decor and not too big. There was a nice dessert case too. Go check this place out, it is wonderful!

Sweet tooth kicked in as well so we opted for the kunafa (made with katayif and qashta) Qashta is a sweetened milk cream. Can't wait to go back and try other options.

Lavas bread is a signature dish of Bosphorous so I called the waitress and asked why the lavas bread was deflated. Answer: must have a hole. The manager came around so I told him the same and added that I had chosen this place for my birthday and was looking forward to the round and puffy lavas bread but got a pita bread. His answer: some time that happens. Sorry but for a restaurant of this level, they shouldn't let their signature appetizer leave the kitchen if it isn't perfect. End of story. And at least the manager should have cared but didn't. Otherwise, my husband and I shared a mixed grill, my mom had a shrimp dish she liked and they did bring me a dessert with a candle which was nice.
