Turkish Cuisine

In the spirit of my culinary exploration, my friends & I dined at Bosphorous in Winter Park this weekend. I’ve been to Bosphorous before, but only to sit at one of the outdoor tables and try some tobacco (shisha) on the hookah. (And yes, we went the girlie route and choose the chocolate flavor.)

The time, there was no hookah involved, but instead a real dinner. Considering Bosphorous is a Turkish restaurant, I immediately steered myself towards the lamb section of the menu. After going back and forth between a couple items, I finally decided on Grilled Lamb Adana Kebab (freshly ground lamb flavored with red bell peppers & light hot peppers, then char-grilled) accompanied by a Turkish pilsner, of course.

It was delicious! And so was my friend’s Doner Kebab (tender lamb, thinly sliced and grilled vertically). I didn’t get a chance to try my other friend’s Lamb Kofke (ground lamb and veal blended with garlic & chef’s seasoning, then char-grilled), but I heard it was great too.

While I might be one of the last long-time Orlando residents to eat at Bosphorous  – I do highly recommend it to anyone who has yet to try it!
