Bosphorous is a phenomenal Turkish restaurant on Winter Park’s Par Avenue. In fact, Bosphorous is currently the only Turkish restaurant in Orlando. Since Germany has lots of Turkish restaurants and eateries, I have always been exposed to Turkish food – and enjoyed it very much. I have also traveled to Turkey and have since been impressed with their outstanding cuisine. So it is not unusual for me to crave Döner kebab and similar dishes once in a while, and every time I go back to Germany, one of my first visits leads me to the famous “Döner Bude” (to be found at many corners in any German city). I am happy Orlando has Bosphorous because I can confirm: their Döner kebab is delicious! I have been to this great Turkish restaurant several times now and have never been disappointed. Their food is fresh and the serving size very generous. Turkish food consists of a lot of fresh vegetables which makes it a healthy meal. Of course, the cuisine also incorporates lots of meat – however I never feel overwhelmed by it.
During this visit I tried Bosphorous Vegetable Guvec (Casserole) with Chicken. The meal is a mix of fresh green beans, eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers and tomatoes served with white rice. I can highly recommend this entree! Luckily I still had some room for dessert after the meal so we ordered 3 different desserts (for the 4 of us) and split in order to be able to try a bit of each. We had the Kazandibi (baked and caramelized light milk pudding), Sutlac (Oven baked rice pudding) and Creme Caramel – all of them absolutely delicious! So if you are looking for a new dinner experience for a change give this Turkish restaurant a try, I am pretty sure you won’t regret it and as usual, the atmosphere on Park Avenue in Winter Park is wonderful 😉
Bosphorous has been serving tasty food since 2005 and is a family owned restaurant. Make sure you also visit their web site for more information about the Turkish cuisine and why it is so special.

Stumbled across this one. Ich mag auch Döner Kebap…Bin Deutscher, der seit mehr als 30 Jahren in den US (New Jersey und – seit kurzem – Florida (Winter park) lebt. Kenne mich in der “deutschen” community noch nicht so gut aus. Habe eine Frage/Bitte: Ich wuerde gerne eine Skatrunde zusammen stellen, die sich 1-2 mal im Monat in Winter Park oder Umgebung trifft. Dazu benoetige ich noch mindestens einen weiteren Deutschen (Gleichgesinnten). How to go about finding one in the area?
have a great weekend!

Hallo Dietmar! Sounds like a great idea! I will email you directly to put you in contact with other Germans in the area. I am sure we can find someone who would love to play Skat with you 🙂
