Bosphorus Restaurant — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

Small restaurant but delicious food…

I have read the reviews of this restaurant and wanted to try this. What could be better than my birthday to try? It was my b’ day dinner with my lovely wife. We were coming back from seaside heights and called to reserve the table. They said you don’t need it, you ll get the table upon arrival. Closing time was 9 Pm and we reached by 8:15 PM. I live in the same neighborhood from last 2 years but never perceived this restaurant. Glad we come to know about this. Its small restaurant but 35+ people can dine together. We got the table and settled in. There was only one server who was taking care of all 4-5 occupied tables.

We ordered special Adana kabab and Lamb chops. Lamb chops were charcoal grilled and aroma of charcoal increased its taste. It was great and so was Adana kabab. Mutton kababs very well marinated and comes with buttery flavor bread and rice. We enjoyed our dinner thoroughly. Recommended.

Update (14-Apr-2023)

My favorite Mediterranean restaurant. It was a special day, and I brought my friend. Got the table, settled, and ordered the below items

Baba ghanoush: this time instead of hummus, went with baba ghanoush. A mix of eggplant, Yogurt – comes with Pita pieces of bread – great, 4.5/5

Garlic Butter Shrimp: so recently I had this item in one of the Argentinian restaurants, there they just serve 6-7 shrimp sauteed in butter and spinach – that’s it. Here in Bosphorus – it’s small shrimp, full of spices and salad at the side. sumptuous

And then our favorites. Adana kebab And chicken Adana

Comes with rice and salad.

Would recommend, start eating as soon it lands on your table. It tastes great when it’s hot. It’s on skewers, properly cooked with spices, it’s juicy, melting in the mouth– it’s too good.

Service was good, lovely, cute restaurant, staffs are very friendly and will answer all of your questions...

We went here the day after thanksgiving 2017.

We ordered a greek salad and a hummus/baba ganoush platter for our starters. There was a red pepper smoked eggplant side that was out of this world- so so good.

I am a vegetarian and I ordered the falafel. They had very little choices for vegetarian if you ask me. I was very unimpressed, unfortunately. The falafel was basically really dry and lacked flavor. The sauce (which I asked for extra of) wasn't good. I was very sad and only ate like 2 of them because they were so gross.

Everyone else really enjoyed their meals. My brother and partner got a meat dish for 2 to share and both really enjoyed it and said everything was really yummy.

My aunt and my grandmother also both like their dishes.

The Service from the beginning was OUTSTANDING. Very pleasant, prompt, and we never ran out of water which is AWESOME. They were always checking on us, clearing plates, asking us if we needed anything. It was really really great. You can tell they take a lot of care to make sure their clients are happy.

The atmosphere is really beautiful. Everything is really clean and warm and inviting. My only complaint is there are like a million tables and there is barely any room to walk through if you...

A wonderful, off-the-beaten-path experience. We sampled a variety of traditional Turkish fare. The baba ghanoush and Sigara borek starters were fine - obviously freshly prepared, and the borek, which can be soggy and oily in the wrong hands, were crisp and light. The pita was not fresh baked, but was served warm and was good. The three entrees were all nicely prepared: chicken gyro platter was well seasoned (chunks of meat and not thin shaved slices), and the Adana kebab was meaty, dense and crisp, with a dominant taste of good lamb. Both platters came with a generous helping of orzo rice pilaf, and a garnish of grilled eggplant, tomato, and bell pepper. But the star of the show was the manti- these tiny, square-folded beef-filled ravioli were served with an amazingly rich and complex sauce of tomato, dill, and mint, and topped with yogurt. I would come Back to NJ just for these delicious dumplings. The other highlight was our hostess, who was quiet, charming, polite, and friendly. We felt like we were guests in her own home. Highly recommended! (Note: there is a surcharge for credit cards, or if you prefer, a discount for...
