Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine

Turkish spot with a bar that works when the dining room is full. The lavas bread is the move.

The review

Our take

We came on a Friday night, but no tables available. We were offered to sweat outside or sit at the bar. We took the bar. We ordered the Mixed Appetizer. Pretty good. The Lavas is the thing to get here. It’s a giant balloon of pita, steaming hot and the size of a school bus steering wheel. You stab it, steam pours out, and it’s gone in two minutes. Six bucks extra, but it’s worth it and we did not regret it. The rest of the menu is on the expensive side, but looks appetizing.

What stood out

The Lavas. Giant, hot, puffed up, and gone fast.
