The Bosphorus

I have been to this restaurant a few times last year in October (to honor Turkish Heritage Month) and my last time going to this place so far was on the nineteenth of May to celebrate the day the Turkish War of Independence began. I love this place very much and to my knowledge, I have dined in on five occasions.

Tucked away in the middle of the Oranges, this Mediterranean restaurant was a surprising find. The ambiance is elegant and thoughtfully designed, with attention to detail in both the decor and the presentation of the food. The staff is professional, attentive, and welcoming. That said, this is more of a refined, white-tablecloth dining experience—not your typical casual spot. After arriving straight from a hike, we initially felt slightly out of place.

It’s really pricey as well. They also charge $2 per wa

I was here for the first time with my family to celebrate my mother's birthday. My parents had eaten here before, and this was their recommendation. My husband and I were so impressed by the quality and presentation of the food, and our family was taken care of so thoroughly and with such kindness by Nora, the incredible server/hostess. She was attentive from the moment we walked in to the moment we left, despite being the only server there. We all enjoyed the fried calamari and dip sampler, I loved the baby lamb chops special (so juicy and tender), and my husband really enjoyed the adana kabob. The coffee was delicious, and Nora helped dress up a simple birthday cake we had brought in with a special candle and birthday decoration. Thank you, Nora, for making this such a special celebrat
