Indianapolis Indiana's first and only Turkish restaurant
Welcome to The Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe!
Indiana’s and Indianapolis' first and only Turkish restaurant features a variety of truly authentic hand-crafted Turkish Mediterranean appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and desserts. We offer a wide variety of vegetarian and halal menu choices. Located in Indianapolis’ historic Fletcher Place neighborhood in walking distance from Fountain Square. Our restaurant features beautifully hand-painted designs on floors and ceilings, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Important Information
We’re opening for in-restaurant and patio dining on May 15!Following the guidelines in place by Governor Holcomb, we will be opening with seating limited to 50% capacity and tables spaced 6 feet apart. While we have always adhered to the highest cleanliness standards, we will continue to go above and beyond implementing additional procedures and measures. All of our employees are screened daily and required to wear mask and gloves. Of course we will ensure restrooms are always fully stocked with soap, paper towels and hand sanitizer. High traffic areas and surfaces such as door knobs, switches, faucets, levers will be sanitized with increased frequency. To avoid overcrowding in our narrow entrance way, we are implementing separate entry and exit doors. The entry continues to be the one you are already used to at the front of the restaurant. We kindly ask to call us upon arrival so we can let you know if we are ready for you to come in and be seated. When entering the restaurant we will perform a quick contact-less temperature scan before showing you to your table. In the dining room we will reduce table items to a minimum and be performing additional sanitization steps for each guest, including menus, chairs, credit card pads, pens. We will also be setting the tables once you have been seated with clean items. If you, someone at home or a person you have been in contact with has been or is currently sick, please remain home in order to keep our restaurant a healthy and safe place for all. As always reservations are not required but highly recommended. Due to the reduced seating capacity, it will be easier for us to find you a nice table without having to wait. We strive to make your visit as pleasant and safe as we possibly can and are very much looking forward to welcoming you back! |

Food tastes delicious. The ambience is amazing. I think they converted a home into restaurant. This was decorated very beautifully inside and the food options were great. You have to park on the road because there aren't any private parking. This place is right on the street. They have a variety of vegetarian options. Although I want to give 5 stars, the waiter who served the dessert was quite ruahing us. read less

The hummus, pita, various Mediterranean & Turkish dishes, and the baklava (to DIE FOR!!) are all amazing! The owner obviously puts a lot of love into the recipes. If you want a fabulous experience and you love Turkish, Greek, or Mediterranean food, this place is for you. You will NOT be disappointed. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read less
