    Fell in love with Bosphorus in Lake Nona on our way to a rocket launch at Kennedy. Been back to that location 3 times - and SO excited to have a location here in Tampa. The lamb shanks were just as incredible as I remember them! INCREDIBLE meal. We will be back.

    Great staff, great food! I have a gluten allergy, and the manager, Brandon, came to our table and went over everything with me. The food was amazing, and I, most importantly, did not get sick. We've been to their locations in Orlando and Winter Park, and the food is consistent. Looking forward to the opening of their St. Petersburg location and Sarasota. Always a great experience!

    Wanted to try this new place as I like Turkish cuisine. The food was ok, flavor wise not as authentic as I have tried before. Restaurant ambience was nice tho and the server very friendly.

    The service took long 40 min wait for food. The server was extremely great! It was Friday night. The food I had was very bland. I am a New Yorker and I have been to many restaurants. Needs more flavor for Turkish food. The manager extremely knowledgeable and courteous! ☺️ Overall it’s a nice ambiance! Happy 2025

    Our dining experience was adequate overall but a few misses in my opinion. The service was inconsistent. One meal came out 15 minutes later than the rest. The waiter seemed to have too many tables and not all in the same location so better management and assigning tables is needed. The portions were plenty but some food lacked flavor. We dine often at Bayshore Mediterranean and although the atmosphere is lacking, their service and food wins hands down. I’d give it another try considering all the good reviews but you pay more for the location.

    Our server, Umit, was top-notch. He spent time talking with us about the menu and making suggestions. The food is delicious and flavorful. The manager stopped by our table to review food allergy items (as I’m gluten free). I felt safe with their knowledge and prep. We will definitely return.
