Visited this restaurant for lunch. It was my first time there and I'll have to say that I'll definitely be back. Ordered the lentil soup for an appetizer and it was delicious. I've had lentil soup at other restaurants and they have all tasted bland. The Ali Nazik was was also delicious. Everything in the dish tasted fresh and was seasoned nicely. This places serves the best Turkish food that I've had in the area and their staff is very welcoming.

I have been dreaming of the food from Bosphorus ever since I left the restaurant. It was THE BEST. I've learned to love Turkish food from my boyfriend's mother's cooking. Here we were able to sample some amazing dishes that are a little more laborious, so she tends not to make them at home.
The pida bread they start the meal off with comes with an olive oil, spiced tomato kind of dressing to dip in. You could drink this stuff. It's seasoned perfectly. The ayran (yogurt drink) was the perfect consistency and not too salty. For dinner I had the Lamacun, which can be easily described as two very thin personal size kind of pizzas topped with lamb and spices. IT WILL RUIN PIZZA FOR YOU. Lamacun only from now on! It was perfect. For dessert we sampled the baklava which I would like to nominate as the best dessert of all time. Sweet doughy and flakey layers of pure happiness! And of course, to end we drank a perfect chai which was balanced and rich at the end of the meal.
Seriously impressed with the presentation and service of Bosphorus. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This family owned establishment has such delicious food. It's super busy and one of the owners smiles as he serves even as the restaurant was overflowing with people and the kitchen was overwhelmed. Their bread is fresh and different - made with black and white sesame seeds. The portions were large, the take-out time estimate was spot on, the baba ghanoush was so incredibly flavorful, the mixed kababs were soft and full of flavor. I loved the bulgar pilaf served with the kebabs. Honestly, it's fresh, friendly and reliably happy-inducing. It's busy at lunch - try to go on the later side.

I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the service here at bosphorus.
APPETIZER. We ordered sautéed liver as our hot appetizer and it was delicious. Not to mention the unlimited complimentary bread?! Man their bread is perfectly crispy on the outside with roasted sesame seeds and soft and chewy on the inside. It went perfectly with the seasoned liver.
ENTREE. The lamb chunks pide was perfect! There was a generous amount of toppings on this "pizza". It's also a perfect meal to split since they cut them into 4 pieces. I really enjoyed it and look forward to trying another one.
Oh and did I mention the service was incredible? They were so friendly and attentive! We were never low on drinks or bread, and we didn't have to wait long for anything! So glad I found this gem and can't wait to come back!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? In a word: delicious.

The homemade bread and dipping oil alone is enough to keep me coming back. Their apps are all on point. Hummus is good texture/consistency and flavor. (I mention this because there are so many subpar Mediterranean restaurants in the Triangle who are content with serving you bland, runny hummus!)
The Turkish specialties are all scrumptious. The gyro plate and kofta kebabs were delicious and well-seasoned. I love their accompanying cucumber sauce. I still haven't tried the Turkish pizzas but stare with a longing gaze every time the server walks by with one. So. It's on the list.
Service is always super friendly...and happy to keep bringing you that amazing bread. Go to Bosphorus. Like now.

Yum! Bosphorus is a casual family-friendly restaurant serving up a variety of fresh and authentic Turkish/Mediterranean dishes. Judging by how packed the restaurant was for lunch last Sunday, this place must be local favorite! My friend and I shared the Cigar Bourek (fried feta cheese in filo pastry, reminded me of lighter version of mozzarella sticks), the Spinach Pide (white Turkish pizza with generous amounts of chopped spinach and feta), and the mixed grill plate (traditional mixed grilled meats with sides of rice and salad). Everything tasted excellent.
The service was very slow to get us seated, but once we were sitting down it was smooth sailing. Lovely and friendly staff!

Amazing Turkish cuisine found at a hidden jewel in downtown Cary! This place is so good that they expanded their restaurant with an entire room that is beautifully and simply decorated to the right of the restaurant and an outdoor seating area with baby lights to the left! Any dish off their menu is amazing but my favorites would be the guvec and pide (Turkish pizza). Follow dinner with some of their amazing Turkish coffee or a cup of hot tea served in Turkish china.

I cannot believe that I haven't reviewed this place yet! What's wrong with me! I definitely love this place! The food is yummy and the service is friendly! I have been here 4~5 times so far. I have had a couple different types of kabob. I also had the Turkish pizza before. Everything I've had here is delicious! The spicy lamb kabob I had recently really reminded me the lamb kabob from my hometown! Love it so much! The grilled combination is a good place to start with! The pizza is kind of like flatbread. Some of them couple be bold to us, as they are more Turkish style and have many spices. But they turned out to be really good! The bread here they give you here before serving entrees is always warm and yummy.

No waiting at all. A family owned restraunt. Very clean. Lots of food so come hungry. The staff is always pleasant and will always recommend food. They have pizza as well. Its on a pita bread.
