The sesame flavor of bud bread was perfect. We tried beef adnan which was a bit spicy and delicious on jasmine rice with pickled cabbage on the side.

Interesting and cute decor with attentive service. Will definitely return soon.

We got the mixed grill platter (4 kebabs and lots of food) and the Turkish pizza thing (I forget the name). Both were absolutely delish and my son liked it too. Would have given them 5 stars if they would have been a little bit more accommodating for my son who wanted a wrap. They serve them at lunch, I offered to pay more to have the kitchen do it but the server just said he wouldn't do it (he never asked kitchen). Putting meat in a wrap... Its in a strip mall/plaza sort of place, not fancy but definitely a sit down. Lots of booths and tables. I would be back.

The good: the hummus and the chicken shawarma were amazing…read more The bad: the tabouli was awful. I love tabouli and order it at every Mediterranean restaurant I go to, and this was the worst I ever had. The ingredients might have been off (either the ratio, or maybe something even went bad. It looked normal but tasted terrible). When we asked for cups of water (after spending upwards of $100) we were told they "don't do that" - because obviously they expect you to purchase bottled water. I find this to be unacceptable. Last but not least: we witnessed a cockroach crawling across the floor. One of the little German ones. Although not as scary as their larger, American counterparts, they still carry lots of germs that can make you sick, and when you see one you can assume there are many more close by. Would I be back? Hard pass. I'm sure I can find great hummus and chicken shawarma elsewhere.

We had the Lava bread and the select two which were the hummus and Muhammara which is a Puree of red peppers, walnuts, garlic, olive oil & pomegranate. $12 My husband ordered the Red Lentil Soup but he wasn't a fan, it tasted like Tomato Bisque. For our entree, I had the Lamb Sis Kebap which I shared with my mom and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. This was a big portion. My husband ordered the fried fish, it came with a big salad and rice. He said the fish needed some seasoning. The prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. We also ordered Turkish coffee and the Kunefe which none of us had ever had and I must say it is my favorite dessert ever! The restaurant looks nicer at night. It has a better ambience. The lighting was super bright. Definitely had a great time and will certainly be back.

We ordered the mixed appetizer and the famous lavas bread. To our surprise we got a flat, deflated pita bread instead. 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. If I go back to Bosphorous it won't be this location. Parking was Ok but it was also Wednesday.

My husband and I were in Orlando for a convention and decided to have dinner at Taverna Opa because…read moreit was nearby. Unlike the venue in Hollywood, Florida, which is near our home, this one is larger and brighter and more spacious. The food is just as good and the atmosphere also is cheery and bright. We had the saganaki and the grilled octopus appetizers. Both were very good. Although we are used to cold, marinated octopus we thoroughly enjoyed this grilled version. For dinner, hubby had the lamb board and I had the slow-cooked lamb. Both were savory and satisfying, and we had enough leftovers for the next day's lunch. We were adventurous and tried the Galaktoboureko dessert, custard wrapped in honey phyllo. It was served warm, and it was sweet and creamy. Our server Rafael was very attentive. About the only problem we had was that the appetizers and entrees arrived at the same time. Say what? Nico, one of the managers, chatted with us before and told us he had worked at the Taverna Opa in Hollywood. After our meal, he stopped by to see if we liked this restaurant and even offered us a taste of mastiha, a Greek liqueur. Hubby doesn't drink, but I gladly accepted a shot (and really liked it). We had dinner around 6 pm and the entertainment was starting just as we were leaving a bit after 7 p.m. We couldn't stay longer because we had to catch a speaker. Dinner for 2 with 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 1 dessert, tax, and tip was $137.

Lale is a small, cozy restaurant with the most delicious food. I am a huge fan of Mediterranean food, but had not had Turkish food before. I ventured to try out a few new things and everything was stunning. Fan favorites for me and the table included the mixed grill (even though it says serves two, if you order appetizers it can absolutely serve 3), the hummus (truly some of the best I've ever had), and the Kunefe. The Kunefe - oh my goodness - it's like nothing I've ever had before, but our table devoured it and stated that they just found their new favorite dessert. The service is attentive and you can tell that there is a lot of love put into the food that is served to you. I look forward to returning many, many more times in the future!
