Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine has been established since 2004, and has been family owned and operated ever since. Our first location (on Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL) has firmly established our presence as the premier Turkish restaurant company in Florida. Our Dr. Phillips location (opened in late 2012) was our first endeavor into the South Orlando market. We"re very excited about our newest location in the great Lake Nona community and are quite proud to say that our food, wines, and high level of service are identical to our other locations. Come experience our authentic Turkish cuisine, made in-house, from scratch - every single day. We look forward to seeing you at Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine in Lake Nona!

My mom had the lamb shank and she loved it. My shrimp casserole was delicious. We will definitely go back. The only disappointment was that the diet soda wasn’t available, my husband is diabetic .

It’s an experience that I highly recommend to anyone who loves good food and warm hospitality. We have been regulars for quite some time and Bosphorous never fails to impress us. The service is always top-notch. The staff remembers our favorite dishes and often surprises us with thoughtful recommendations.

Our dinner at Bosphorous was great as expected. Our waitress was quite poor from beginning to the end. Took forever for our first cocktail and had to actually call her out loud to come wait on us. She would just disappear for far too long. She was nice when at our table but couldn’t rely on her ability to serve in an orderly manner and time wise. Not sure about returning anytime soon.

Food was ok. The drinks were watered down.
Meats were not as flavorful as the winter park location. Don’t feel like the value matched the price.
