We have been to Bosphorus Cafe Grill a few times now, and always had a great experience. Today we had the Lavas bread, Turkish ezme, fried liver cubes, mixed grill, lamb chops, and Iskender kebab. All were amazing, succulent, fresh, and full of flavor. Special mention to the friendly, attentive, and highly proactive service. Vibes are always relaxed and friendly, space is clean and calm. We are definitely coming back soon!
Easily the best Turkish restaurant in Long Island. The lamb kebab was incredible, the chicken was amazing and the desserts were awesome.
This is one of our go-to places for delicious, healthy Turkish food. The fresh mezze appetizers are so good to share. My favs are the yogurt based ones, and the spicy feta, but they’re all great with the homemade bread. Love the lamb dishes. Expertly done. And if you go for brunch, try the menemen, eggs with tomatoes and peppers, or the breakfast pide, which is fresh bread baked with egg and cheese inside.
Outstanding food quality! The manti is absolutely phenomenal. We’ve come here a few times and the staff and food service never disappoints. Also the pistachio halva with turkish tea at the end of the meal definitely makes it worth coming every time. Great staff!
Diverse, tasty menu of Turkish fare. Even those not used to Mediterranean food will find many options here! Outdoor and indoor seating, lovely decor, friendly servers. We especially enjoyed the fried zucchini pancakes, chicken kabobs and Turkish fries (w/Feta cheese, parsley). Good value for the area.
My only complaint is that they took their best item off the menu. The yogurt chicken adana. It's. A layer of croutons, topped with yogurt-marinated grilled chicken kofte, topped with herbed Turkish red sauce. The fresh lavas is great. I also enjoyed a tasty gin tonic cocktail.
Just discovered Bosphorus Cafe Grill, and I’m so glad I did! We had the authentic fried liver (so good!), delicious moussaka, perfect Turkish pizza, and a super fresh salad with perfectly grilled salmon—moist and flavorful, not dry at all like it often is elsewhere. Cetin was an excellent maitre D, making us feel right at home and even putting on French music for us, which made the event extra special. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their best dishes! This place is a real find for Mediterranean food lovers.
I recently dined at Bosphorus Cafe Grill, and it was an exceptional experience. The Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine was a delightful blend of flavors, and the ambiance transported me to the heart of Istanbul. The staff was attentive, and each dish showcased the authenticity and skill of the chefs. I highly recommend trying their kebabs and baklava for a true taste of the region. A must-visit for those seeking a culinary journey through the Mediterranean.
