Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe

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!!

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.

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.
