So surprised to discover this place around Fountain Square, truly authentic Turkish food + menu, felt like I was back in Istanbul.
Live the decor and cozy atmosphere, staff were very attentive and friendly! Would definitely recommend this for a night out or date night.
Menu was affordably priced, had the Falafel + Babaganoush eggplant dip + Lamb mediterranean. Spices were well blended and the lamb was very tender. Dessert was well worth it.

Excellent food. We ordered the çay tea, babaganush, stuffed eggplant (I think), and Bosphorus Special. I loved the rich flavors. The meat was cooked nicely – tender and flavorful. Serving sizes were generous. I love the atmosphere. The decor stands out in creating a unique experience. The music was quiet enough to be conducive to a friend reunion. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Would happily visit again!

The appetizer sampler was delicious, generous portion size. It’s all vegetarian as well. And I also got the Sultan’s Delight, which was tender lamb sautéed with bell peppers and onions over a bed of eggplants. The dish had so many elements but each layer of flavor married each other nicely. It was a delicious and fun medley of flavors and textures. I would definitely recommend this dish if you like lamb.

I’m not sure there is any way I can properly describe this establishment …. other than the food was simply outstanding, the staff was incredible and the food was presented where you could not wait to taste it all! (Hence why I have no photos of the appetizers).
We started with Falafel, Hummus, Borek and Babaganush. The Borek was my personal favorite. The cheese inside was sheer perfection. Full of flavor, melty goodness. The Babaganush was so so good – lightly smoky flavor perfectly paired with warm bread. The Falafel – oh my! Hummus was perfect with everything!
I had the Spinach Chicken (Ispanakli Tavuk) The chicken was so tender and flavorful, the grilled asparagus, spinach with yogurt made the dish not only beautiful to look at, but delicious to eat! This was my birthday dinner – and I was graciously served the Baklava for dessert. The best Baklava I have ever had in my life. Lightly sweet and crisp edges – it paired perfectly with the Turkish hot tea. If you have the opportunity to dine at Bosphorus – DO IT! We will be back soon – hopefully next week, I have so much more to try!

Cute homey cafe decorated with lots of rugs and knickknacks. Owner and staff are very friendly and attentive. We had the appetizer platter and it was amazing. Their tabouli is different than any we’ve had before but very good. The lentil soup was simple but delicious. Turkish delight is a good option for vegetarians. Baklava is the best we’ve had outside of the Middle East. We went two nights in a row when we were visiting Indianapolis because it was that good. If we’re ever back in the city we’re definitely coming back to this place.

Every other month my husband and I come to Indianapolis for business. Every time we come, we try a new international restaurant. We love food and learning about other cultures. On the way up, I was looking for where we were going to eat this time. I found this restaurant online, and let me tell you…I am SO glad we did. The atmosphere was peaceful and interesting, the owner and staff were so very friendly–just like family, and the food….WOW! So much food and it was AMAZING! We don’t typically repeat restaurants when we come up, but we enjoyed everything so much, we WILL be back and HIGHLY RECOMMEND to any and all! You won’t be disappointed!!

This Turkish cuisine restaurant was the most authentic I’ve ever been to. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere made it a great place to enjoy the delicious food. I highly recommend it! Carl was best and every one was great thank you for having us.

Tried the chicken burrito, it was HUGE. Couldn’t even finish half. Plus, it came with fries. The hummus as an appetizer was somewhat bland. It came with a basket of pita though. The Doner was tasty. It came with a very small (maybe 1/4 cup) side of rice. Overall, a tasty dinner.
Note: parking here is street parking only. There is a restaurant beside it, but it strictly states it’s for their business parking only.
To enter, there are stairs to go up to get into the building.

My friend and I came to this place during our trip in Indy. He had never tried Middle Eastern food and he loved it here. He enjoyed the Turkish coffee. I enjoyed my food as well and I would say it was my most enjoyable meal of the trip. It seems to be pretty popular, as this place was full at 4PM. The service was friendly and prompt.

We’ve just recently discovered this jewel of a restaurant. Everything we’ve tried has been amazing! The Doner is so tender and flavorful. The chocolate cake is to die for it!
