Review: Bosphorus Istanbul Café
Bosphorus Istanbul Café, located in downtown Indianapolis, is a restaurant with authentic Turkish cuisine. When you enter the restaurant, you get a sense of the exotic atmosphere through the authentic décor, which includes handmade rugs, pictures from the country and trinkets that represent good luck and fortune for new establishments. Instead of sitting inside, the al-fresco option of dining was more appealing on a nice fall evening. First, the hummus was a must and was so large it could be split between three to four people. Then, for the entrée, I ordered Mediterranean lamb, which consisted of lamb, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and spices served with rice. The taste of all the different spices combined with the juicy lamb made for the ultimate dish. Turkish tea, flavored with honey and lemon, warmed up the cool evening. They also offer an array of kabobs, lamb, beef, chicken and vegetable dishes, all at reasonable prices. Bosphorus Istanbul Café was pleasing to the palette.
