Our party of 16 reserved for 5:45pm on a Wednesday. We were seated immediately by a friendly host. Not a lot of seating but we had plenty of room. Rather than ordering individual dishes, we decided on sharing 4 appetizer samples - 5 various dips and sauces - 4 baskets of pita bread, and 5 orders of the Bosphorous Special - various types of meat and kebabs. The meat was savory and tender. The sauces and dips and lots of spices and flavor. We were very pleased with the food. Our server was kind and attentive. Very helpful in explaining each of the items on the plates.
The food was fantastic, the owner of the restaurant made us feel very welcomed. We went on a weekday and the service was very quick, the waiter was very attentive and helped us choose from the menu. Very tasty Turkish food! The baklava is a must try! They make it in house and we were blown away by the taste!
Was greeted by the very nice owner. We ordered the appetizer sampler and the main entree sampler and it was an immense amount of food and lemme tell ya, it was all amazing. Highly recommend the sampler if you’re unsure of what to get.
What an experience. Truly authentic food with great atmosphere and service. The food was great and it would be memorable. Service is very friendly, attentive and quick. Portions are large and well made. Bosphorus Special is enough for 2 to 3 people very well. Rest is per person. All in all a great experience.
Dinner in a beautiful little place in Indianapolis. The floors were beautiful as was the ceiling, the walls, halls..... & the food was great. 😋 Forgot to add pics of food.. ate it immediately! Update... We went back the next day for take out - Baklava. It is that good. Very buttery and not too sweet! And ... Yes came back again for lunch. Our last day visiting Indianapolis. Absolutely worth a visit. Be back next year! (DCI)
This place is great. Nice ambiance inside with decorated walls. They have outdoor seatings available. The beef kebab is pretty good but not the lamb kebab. You will get complementary bread pieces in the beginning. Their service is reasonably fast although I felt like the restaurant is a little bit overpriced.
Delicious. Large portions. If you go alone, go hungry or be ready to bring food home. A little costly if compound drinks, apps, entree, and dessert. Come and try it. Come back if you have been already. Great small restaurant with wonderful staff and flavorful food. The only drawback, to me, was the Turkish hip hop music playing. A mellower choice would be preferred. Could still be Turkish, just not hip hop.
I went tonight with a group of 6 from out of town and we loved every bite. The atmosphere is intimate and homey. One of my friends from Turkey was so thankful for it being authentic Turkish food. The owner was wonderful and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend a stop if you are in the area.
