Fantastic food and helpful, friendly service. One of the best places to eat anywhere in the Denver area.

Wonderful food, friendly staff. This is a must visit. A small place with just a few tables. Everything was on point.

Best for take out, since there are just a few tables and not much space. But the food is wonderful, served with a friendly face. Portions are large, and the taste is just like in Turkiye.

The food was tasty. Atmosphere is very monotone and drab. This place could really use some warmth.

It must have been close to 8 years ago the last time I utilized this tiny and yet mighty (in quality) business that quietly exists in the city of Englewood. I lived in one of the nearby apartment complexes where walking to get to it only took me 5+ minutes. And just yesterday, I was able to pay homage to this restaurant after so many years. It's not that I have to drive miles and miles to get to it from my current house in northeast DTC. With that said, my visit to appreciate this business was overdue. And this was no joke. At yesterday's visit, I realized that it was still the same Bosphorus that I used to know. I do remember that I got a solid 5-star service and quality of food at my last visit. And yesterday's visit was about the same in everything (of course in a good way.) I simply couldn't think of anything negative to say about everything I experienced. Two young male employees were having lunch when I stepped inside the restaurant. They immediately jumped out of their chairs to assist me. They let me take my time to choose what I wanted from the menu. I felt no coming from them. In many cases, instead of getting a huge combo plate, I pick a few items from the appetizer section when I do a takeout. I decided to follow this tradition of mine. Hence, I picked 1) Fried eggplant and 2) Hummus plate. Once I had placed my order and settled the tab, the young gents immediately started working on my food wasting no time. The food came out pretty quickly (well, I was the only customer at the visit.) Quick service: who doesn't like that, right?? As soon as I got to my car, I immediately opened the containers to check them out. As much as the Eggplant looked wonderfully made, I was shocked to find out how big the hummus plate was. The portion of hummus in the center could easily serve 5 people. Goodness gracious, they surely don't have the word "stingy" in their restaurant bible or dictionary for sure! And freshly cut cucumber slices as well as tomato slices decorated the hummus. Along came were some pita bread pieces. I couldn't stop saying "Oh my gosh" while I was taking photos of them. I carefully and slowly started eating the two dishes to truly savor all the ingredients included in the two dishes. The Eggplant pieces were so soft/tender and well cooked. The hummus was creamy and tasted so home-made. I could tell the absolute "attention to details" the workers put into the dishes as I savored the two. Despite all of this goodness, I came to appreciate their true humility that is reflected in everything they do. With the kind of reputation they continue to get from people that utilize them, they can expand their business and yet, they have continued the way they have always been for many years. So yes, humble and yet mighty is how I describe this restaurant.

Amazing hidden gem in Denver! Be forewarned, this is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a tiny interior. However, the food was divine and more than made up for appearances. I came with two friends, and the 3 of us shared a sultan platter. It comes in three sizes: for 2, for 3, or for 4. It really lives up to its name - the plate was huge (see my picture for reference)! The beef and chicken were so juicy and flavorful, and the white sauce they had at the table was amazing. One of my friends said, "I want to drink this sauce!" Underneath the meat was rice, allowing the meat's flavor to soak into the rice. We left stuffed and with plenty of leftovers - we could've easily shared the "for 2" platter instead. Next time I'm in Denver, I will definitely be back here!

I've been craving Doner Kebab ever since I got back from Germany, and my partner found this place to see ifnit would curb the craving. While they dont have Doner Kebab, they do have delicious food. How many wonderful things can I say about our visit to Bosphorus? Let's start with the quality of service... This neighborhood spot is a cozy gem with limited seating but so worth the wait. When we arrived, the restaurant was full, but the host was super hospitable and encouraged us to wait for a table to open. As soon as one did, we were seated and waited on immediately. The host was incredibly kind to us, offering recommendations, and the food arrived swiftly. The kindness factor is always a huge for us because together we represent being BIPOC, queer, and trans, so we never know how we'll be received at an establishment. Wow, the food... the meat was prepared perfectly, the flavors were melded perfection, and the potions were super generous. We had so many leftovers for the next day. Then, to top off our meal, we finished with some Turkish coffee and baklava that we were told was the best in the city. Being the food critic I am, I raised an eyebrow. Really, the best baklava? We'll see about that. And then he promised if we didn't like it, it was on the house. Well, how could we resist? I hate to tell you, we liked the plate clean. He was right. I swear it's the best baklava I ever ate. The flaky pastry, the light sweetness of honey with the robust nuttiness... I wanted to take an entire box of baklava home with me. Throughout our visit, we were tended to, entertained by our host with great humor, and he even gave us the dessert on the house even though we (well, me actually) licked the plate clean. If you're looking for some delicious food, great hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, then this place is a no-brainer. We'll definitely be back again!

Okay you come to Bosphorus for down home comfort Turkish food. The interior is more like someone's comfy kitchen ( 10-12 seats and you can hear all the cooking going on...yes they cook everything here...unlike what some fool said). I ordered the Friday-Saturday special which is an amazing selection of meats: chicken, sirloin, lamb in various different preps. It comes with rice, salad, bread....and is an huge amount of well prepared food for $46. It could easily feed 3-4. I also ordered their Hummus which tastes homemade, delicious and authentic. Amazing service! Owner is a fantastic person who cares about quality and his customers. Highly recommend as the food quality and price is such a fantastic proposition that you should really try the place.
