Bosthorus Resturant

i.e., A local favorite, or highly recommended becauseLast night, our family of 4 had a great meal at the new Turkish restaurant on York Road. We ordered three appetizersthe falafel, baba ganoush, and Turkish cigars filled with cheese. We loved them all as well as the fresh pita that accompanied the baba ganoush (and our one complaintthey didnt give us nearly enoughbut they were quick to bring more when we asked). The texture of the baba ganoush was chunkier than Ive had before, which I loved, but my oldest son didnt love it as much as a smoother dip. The falafels were much smaller than Ive ever seen, but they too were delicioussoft, tender, and perfectly flavored. They were served with hummus that was also thicker than the hummus I usually eat, but good and flavorful. My youngest son thought the cigars were especially divine. Its hard to go wrong with buttery phyllo dough around a creamy cheese filling! For entrees, we had one chicken kabob, two mixed platters (with chicken, beef, lamb, and meatballs), and one adana shish kebab, ground veal and lamb on skewers. The boys (my 2 sons and husband) all agreed the adana shish kebab was the absolute best. They described it as well-spiced, but not too spicy, and tender. I enjoyed the chickenit was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I just wish that there was more of it (and the pieces themselves were on the small side)! Most of our plates were dominated by rice and vegetableswhich were great too. At the end of the meal, the owner came over to introduce himself, ask about our experience, and offer our boys chocolate wafer bars. He seemed genuinely interested in ensuring customers are happy and was passionate about his restaurant. We certainly hope he succeeds. Although the dishes we had were the same in name to those we get at other places, they were distinctly Turkish style (and so delicious!). There is definitely a need in our Citys restaurant scene for a place like this, and hopefully other Baltimoreans will agree!

I must be in a good mood because I am handing out a lot of five stars tonight, but what can I say? I've been eating at some fantastic places lately, including bosphorus bistro !!, Bosphorus is a tapas style restaurant, and I'm pretty sure we ordered 1/3 of the menu. Honestly everything tasted fabulous. Standouts include the hummus, falafel and chicken kabobs. And the lemonade omg ?! Is this heaven? I'd be remiss to not mention the service. Our waitress was fantastic and put up with us (we were having a mini-reunion of sorts so we were there quite a while). This is a great place for dinner and drinks with friends or a date and if I lived in Baltimore I would no doubt return.
