The Cigar Porch - Cary

This place was packed good sign. 10/10 rec. Complimentary tea, pide and oil/spice mix. Falafel didn't look amazing but tasted amazing. Mixed grill platter just under $20 came with pilaf, salad, lamb and chicken pieces, gyro and the most amazing kababs ever. The chicken/pide/yogurt dish was one of the most unique things that I had tried and I'd highly recommend. It has some tomato base to it which I love, but you may not so be aware! Pilaf and chicken had a smokey aroma, everything was juicy. The pastrami pide was cooked to perfection with what tasted like halumi cheese. Also pictured is the caramel custard dessert which jiggles like nobody's business, in the best way possible.

If you haven't tried Bosphorus you are missing out. I have yet to try one item from here that didn't taste amazing. I highly recommend the Adana kebab and the stuffed grape leaves. Don't get me started on complimentary pre dinner bread and oil, nothing quite like it around. All of our servers have been kind and attentive, and they always oblige us in a cup of delicious Turkish tea. Atmosphere is chill and especially great for a family dinner or a lunch with friends. I have been quite a few times and will continue to return.

Ordered a great deal of food for pick up when i was visiting Cary. It was almost closing time and the place was still extremely crowded. Ordered Hummus it was okay, i have had better hummus Tabouli never tasted before but was not a fan Baba ganoush if you like smoky flavour you'll love this other you can pass on this one Falafel they were really good but extremely oily! Vegetable pide this was good Bosphorus salad i liked the salad a lot, many greens and cheese Grilled halloumi cheese plate this was good never tatsed halloumi cheese before but loved it Baklava i have had better Overall the taste was okay, but the portions was extremely small for the prices. $8.76 for a very small portion of tabouli baba gounush, hummus around 10 oz! Plus they forgot a few things on my order they were missing which was really disappointing!!

I stopped in here for lunch the other day because I was craving some delicious Turkish food. This place has been on my radar for some time now and I'm happy I finally tried it. I was seated in a booth and was brought complimentary hot tea and fresh hot bread with a tomato oil dipping sauce. Both were delicious. For my entree I ordered the Chicken kabob with rice and salad. The rice was almost like a barley and it was really good. The chicken was incredible. All of the wait staff were very nice and attentive. I really liked the atmosphere too. I will definitely return.

Bosphorus never disappoints. We had Mezze platter, mixed grill, lentil soup and cup of strong hot tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. Bill was also surprisingly low. Will keep coming here again and again.
