There is not another restaurant like this in the area, so it is a welcome addition. The staff was very welcoming and seemed excited to share their cuisine with my group. The baba ganoush was the best I've had and I really liked the multi grain pitas. I got the Heart of Jerusalem salad and it was massive and delicious. I really enjoyed the sage tea and the presentation was really nice. Baklava was also very yummy. Prices were reasonable and portions were big. We will definitely be back soon!

My server helped me navigate through after I mentioned I had a allergy. The owner actually stepped in and offered multiple options all of which were wonderful.

My meal and my friends were both amazing. The flavor, freshness, quality and quantity were exceptional.this quaint friendly restaurant will definitely be a favorite of many.

Our order: chicken şiş, lentil soup, appetizer platter…read more The Review: It must be noted that their happy hour includes 50% off cocktails. They might not contain the highest quality of alcohol but...fun girls' night (hehe). We started off with their mixed appetizer platter (can't remember the exact name) which was so worth it for the opportunity to try all of the dips! They are able to modify this platter to make it gluten free, and it turned out so well. The real star of the show was the chicken, which was perfectly seasoned and grilled, I can't get over it. The lentil soup was also good but it didn't come out hot, which was not amazing, so we had to ask for it to be heated. GF people note: the rice contains wheat noodles so it is not GF. However, they told us that the grape leaves, which are filled with rice, are actually gluten-free. The staff were so warm and accommodating, and we loved our experience here. Thanks, Bosphorous!

I am a fan of Bosphorous Winter Park and really wanted to go back to celebrate my birthday. I've…read morenever been to the Lake Nona location, so I decided to give it a try. Love the staff!!! The bartender was super personable and our server was very attentive. It did feel less intimate and homey than the Winter Park, but the vibe did suit the Lake Nona area. The food was pretty good overall. Loved the mixed appetizer- the dips were fantastic! The Espresso Martini wasn't the best I've have, and was a tad lackluster. The dinner was beautifully plated and flavorful, though the lamb wasn't consistent with the cooking temp I requested. I did appreciate that the environment wasn't too loud and perfect for good conversation. Moreover, I appreciated my experience and do recommend this location (though my preference will remain Winter Park).

In short : A gastronomic journey through Central Asia to delight your palate…read more This is a diamond in the rough ! I have to be honest .. I have never had food from Uzbekistan.. and I had to google where the country is located (Central Asia next to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan) nonetheless .. it was a delicious adventure. We ordered a pitcher of the organic Kompot... it was a lightly sweet drink with notes of hibiscus , apples and berries . It was light and refreshing . Appetizers : Samsa- a pastry found in Uzbek cuisine. Flaky, savory, and filled with beef/ lamb and onions. This was nice.. we shared one.. it's a decent size . Mezze Platter- your traditional dip platter with hummus ; babaganush, Haydari, spicy ezime (this was not spicy) and a spinach dip. Served with warm pita bread.. also delicious. Uzbek bread- a fresh baked bread served with butter on the side. This was just okay. I wouldn't get this again. Mains- Chicken shish kabob- delicious . Perfectly cooked.. not dry. Served with some type of tomato sauce on the side. To'y Osh- star of the show in my opinion. Lazer rice that is topped with chunks of beef . Cooked with yellow raisins, carrots and sautéed onions. This was to die for . Soooo delicious and very unique to any rice I've ever had !!! Desserts: Honey cake - a buttery tower of beautiful flavors. I cannot describe how delicious this was. Soft, creamy, and gave notes of graham cracker crumbles. Get this! Baklava - just okay .. didn't taste fresh . Overall I highly recommend this unique find .. friendly service and beautiful decor made me feel as if I was in Central Asia . Also we noticed many Russians and Uzbekistani's eating there as well so it much be a good representation of their cuisine!

This was my first time here and I was really sure what expect. I had a peek at the menu online before hand and thought that I'd at least try the lamb. The menus are QR style and already on the tables. The table was also preset with dinner plates and silverware. Once we began filing into the restaurant, our server came out with water and glasses. A beautiful, fancy, blue set of glasses, mind you. I was beginning to think that this is a bit fancier than I had anticipated. For my order, I decided on 2 lamb jazs and a pot of Uzbek green tea. The tea pot was very cute and fancy. Each meal came out correct and everything looked delicious. My lamb was pretty good, and I enjoyed having the warm tea with dinner. The portion sizes were surprisingly large, most of us had to get a to-go box. The prices range from low to high and they seem to have menu that provides something for everyone. Overall, I liked this place and would consider dinning here again.

They were out of my wife's first choice, so she just had a Caesar salad, which was weirdly sweet, as if they made it with honey mustard dressing. Given the name, I opted for the falafel and hummus, and both were just okay. If you really want great hummus, falafel, and pitas, it's only a few minutes to go to Cedar's on Sand Lake Road, and there's no comparison. There isn't really much atmosphere, just some rows of long tables in a brightly lit storefront. Service was a good team effort.

The Vibe: This location is always clean, well-stocked, and organized, and we've never had an issue finding seating--even during busier times. Service: Customer service is consistently friendly and efficient, which keeps us coming back just as much as the food. Our Go-To Orders: I usually build a bowl with 1/2 greens and 1/2 rice, topped with chicken and sweet potatoes. My husband goes for a bowl with basmati rice and steak. For dips, we always get: * Red Pepper Hummus * Harissa * (Me) Eggplant Dip * (Him) Classic Hummus We load up on toppings (which are unlimited and included--a huge plus), and always ask for dressings on the side. I go with garlic sauce + date balsamic, and my husband gets garlic sauce + harissa vinaigrette. Flavor-packed and fully customizable. Why We Keep Coming Back: The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and the ability to customize every bowl makes it easy to never get bored. Healthy, filling, and consistently delicious. Overall: If you're looking for a reliable, fresh, and flavorful fast-casual option, this location delivers every time. We love CAVA and will definitely keep coming back. Pro tip: Don't skip the dips--and always get your dressings on the side so you can control the flavor.

Sometimes you just want something quick, filling, and easy without having to go sit down at a restaurant, and Cava was perfect for that. I got the bowl with harissa chicken, steak, romaine lettuce, brown rice, feta, fiery broccoli, fire roasted corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I tried a bunch of the dips and dressings and my favorite was the garlic sauce, skhug, and the hot harissa vinaigrette. I got everything on the side so I could control how much I wanted to put on my bowl. The service was great and everything was pretty quick. Overall, super convenient and tasty.

I ordered my usual order which is the chicken + rice bowl add corn. The worker literally acted like she was a pit crew worker for Nascar. She grabbed the bowl and was slapping and throwing ingredients into the bowl. I was shocked. There was no line. No rush. No other orders. It was off putting by how it was prepared. Almost as if my food was slop. I don't need the bowl to look like a masterpiece but it was just bad. I also ordered the sour cream pita chips. I sat inside to eat. The dining area could have been better cleaned. This bowl was edible but the worst one I have enjoyed at any Cava location. Also I have had the sour cream pita chips at other locations and this location it seemed like the seasoning was off. Almost like a hint of something strong like a cinnamon flavor mixed in. I threw them out. I probably wouldn't be back to this location.

The chicken and falafel are both really good and usually what I stick with when I go. That said, I am knocking off a star because consistency can be a little hit or miss. There have been quite a few times where some of the ingredients, especially the rice, seem like they've been sitting out too long and end up stale or hard to eat. I also think the staff could be a bit friendlier at times. I understand it gets busy, especially during peak hours, but some employees come across a little abrasive. Overall though, I still keep coming back because the food is tasty, customizable, and a good value for what you get.

I got the add-on of cucumber sauce, which I would recommend the veggies makes perfectly with the chicken and rice. My only wish is that it included more chicken. They also have zucchini patties, which were delicious and I would recommend overall the food here taste great and the sauces really complement each dish.
