    We had an exceptional dining experience on Friday at the Tampa Bosphorous. Doved was warm and inviting from the moment we entered. Char, our waitress, was attentive without being intrusive and made our evening run smoothly even with a table of 9. This is a must-visit for anyone craving top-tier Turkish cuisine.

    One of my absolute new favorites! Make sure to try the Turkish espresso martini and lamb kabobs!! They made my mom's 77th bday so special. Entire staff is super cool / informative, and delightful. LOVE the location for people watching. Easy parking situation for a Howard restaurant!! Love love love!

    Wow Wow and Wow. The food was delicious and authentic. We had the appetizer for 2 with lightly puffed lavash bread. I ordered the Lamb Shank, came with rice and 2 perfectly flavored lamb shanks. My partner had the Lamb SIS Kebab, came with veg, rice and lamb skewers that were nicely seasoned and grilled. The services are impeccable. Don't miss it when in Tampa.
