Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe offers a delicious escape to the heart of Turkey, right here in Indianapolis.
From the moment you step inside, you're transported by the warm aroma of spices, the friendly greetings of the staff, and the inviting atmosphere.
The food is amazing.
Each bite is an explosion of taste and texture, perfectly balanced and utterly delicious.
It's very popular, and you might have to wait a bit, but it's so worth it.

We ordered the appetizer combo and the meat combo - all are amazing! The appetizer combo is really impressive.
The decorations at the restaurant are very beautiful and delicate.
You will amaze by the atmosphere and the food at this place.
The waiter even taught us some words in Turkish! Teşekkür ederim!!

Owner response

Thank you for the glowing review, Wei! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed both the appetizer and meat platters.
It's great to know that our decor and atmosphere added to your experience.
Teşekkür ederim (thank you) for choosing to dine with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Decided to take a detour and give this place a try.
Was blown away by how good it actually was.
The bread/ hummus dip was so good I ate entire basket on my own.
I went with the house special for main dish.
(there's plenty meat variations) this place will fill 2 people up fully.
I then got their coffee and baklava to finish up my lunch.
I'm stuffed and extremely happy.
Just look at the pictures.
10/10 if you're considering it, give this place a try.
My total was 56$ before tip.
Which is a bit steep but would fill 2 people up for sure.
I took half the food to go.
