The Bosporus UK in City of London, Westminster

All it says is review This restaurant is closed The Deco look nice and promising the shutters well mad. The holidays in the window look potentially fun

BAD EXPERIENCE. As expected this wasn’t cheap as it was in Central London but for the price you expect a decent level of food and service. The food for 5 people came at different times - nit complicated stuff just burgers and wraps. They forgot the starter. The waiters were slow and not bothered. The food was no different to what you’d get in a East London kebab house. In the end they wanted a service of £11 which I refused. Terrible terrible terrible.

Zero customer service, first of all they are closing at 12o’clock they didn’t inform and then nobody came to take order, after we placed order within 5 min they come to us and inform they are going to close now so we just ordered Shisha which cost 50£ which we are not able to smok at least a half an hour and we asked for drink they didn’t back to us and said that they are closing in 5min. So over all experience was not so well. Really disappointed. After spending money there is no good customer service.

It was very tasty and fast brought to the table. I recommend the breakfast for two. :) Inside is very beautiful and oriental designed with air conditioning.

We ate here as a party of 4 at the end of May 2022. It was a Tuesday evening so not very busy. The staff were overall pleasant and helpful. I would have expected a bit more attentiveness, especially as it was not busy. The food was great and we enjoyed a couple of Mocktails with our dinner which were very nice. The mix grill platter was a really good choice! The Turkish tea and baklava desert were fantastic! I'd go back just for the desert! The bill came to £160 (including a 12.5% service charge added by the restaurant) which was a slightly above what I expected but in keeping with central London. Overall, we had a great evening with great food and I'd go back.

Expensive!!!! £16 for baclava and ice cream… 20% service charge for very average service from staff who don’t seem to care… 15 min to get the bill… in fairness food is nice… NICE NOT FABULOUS … but wine very nice and not expensive… £30 which is fine when a 500ml water is a tenner £10!!!

Food okay - shame about the service ! Had to wait & wait for someone to take our order … then had to wait whilst the table of 4 Turkish ladies that came in well after us were delivered all their meal … we had ordered cold and hot starters …. Then No one checked if it was okay … Then had to flag someone down to get our bill . They had the cheek to add 12.5% service . Got that removed . Would NOT go back

Have eaten here a couple of times during the last few months and both times the food and service have been great. The food is of good quality and is well prepared and presented. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is comfortable place in the middle of a bustling square where you can relax and enjoy your meal at a reasonable price.

Αmazing place to have a shisha and food, I loved it, Sebastian made us feel so special, the whole team was welcoming and smily we will definitely be back

I was charged twice the payment , after I contacted the general manager he promised that the refund will happen as soon as the process is not on hold . Proof was provided and I have been chasing them for 20 days for my refund

I never write reviews but I was genuinely impressed with everything. Lavish settings, Food was amazing, Reasonably priced considering its based in the centre of Leicester Square. Service was great (thank you to general manager Indrit and waitress Lubjana). Me and my friends will most definitely return in the near future. 5 Star/Circle rating overall. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went to this restaurants for my friend’s birthday and was served by Nicola. She was amazing to say the least and did so much to make sure our night was amazing . She went above and beyond any waiter I’ve seen and she made everyone feel so loved and welcome. I’m so happy for our visit and definitely recommend for other to come and try amazing Turkish cousine and cocktails. ~S

Arrived late yet was seated without any issues. The service was quite slow and the food was bland. It was however presented nicely. Would say overall it's overated and over priced for what you get.

The restaurant, although it has quite tasty food, has a totally wrong idea about portions. A 2 person £23 apetizer meaning a plate with 8 bite pieces, and an 1900 kcal pide being 5 slices that can barely provide for a person. The prices are way too high even for Leicester square. The only thing that I would recommend is not going there at all.

The food there aas nice but what i loved most is Lavinia a very nice and joyful waitress that works there, she made the experience more agreeable to all of us.

The food there was really tasty the vibe was Turkish plus the service there was great , Lavinia was the waitress who served us , she was really fun cheerful and lovely ! GREAT EXPERIENCE

we enter the restaurant in the afternoon to make a reservation for the evening. Mouad the server was very kind and helpful. The dinner after was delicious. the server mouad served us with a big smiley and good recommondations. he was always on point and...

Bestt service from lavinia! Had so much fun❤️❤️❤️ Bestt service from lavinia! Had so much fun❤️❤️❤️ Bestt service from lavinia! Had so much fun❤️❤️❤️

Came for a drink and made us move the table after one hour cos apparently there is a reservation, no one inform when we came I mentioned this and they said , “if you don’t like it don’t come back”

Service was very slow and the food was ok. I went in with higher expectations and was sorta disappointed or dissatisfied with the overall experience. It had a chain restaurant feel to it.

Truly the worst restaurant we’ve been to. Note this is NOT a turkish restaurant. The cheap kebab places sell delicious better food. Extremely overpriced, cold, tasteless “turkish” food and tiny portions. I found tin foil in my food as it was reheated. 0 atmosphere in...

This restaurant has lovely options for breakfast, especially if you are a huge fan of turkish breakfast, then you are definitely right here. Amazing atmosphere on a sunny day outside and also indoor interior is stunning. Staff is very welcoming and friendly, we have been...

A big thank you to Antzelo for his amazing service , very friendly and helpful ☺️ Shqipe!! 🇦🇱🇦🇱 My favourite was the Kunefe which was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend!

My dear friend Gary and I were enjoying a well-overdue catch up and ended up in Leicester Square looking for dinner. We had been in this building before, and on looking at the menu, decided to have dinner. We wanted to see how the interior...

The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Our server, Antzelo was very, friendly, kind and professional. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal at The Bosporus. The ambience of the restaurant was also great. I will definitely be...

It was my first visit and I will come back soon I enjoyed so much the food was delicious and the service was brilliant by Antzelo.

The food was great and we had a great service by Antzelo. My family enjoyed it and we will be back !

Leicester Square resturant. Was myself and friend for lunch, maybe 4 other tables of couples at this time, so not busy considering the size of the resturant. Took 20mins to finally get a waitresses attention to order some drinks. No one was to be seen...

For an authentic Turkish restaurant, it lacked the whole concept of bringing Mediterranean cuisine to the table. Pun intended. We waited longer for the food, than actually eating it. For how busy the restaurant is, they were very understaffed, and many of the waiters were...

I visited on Saturday 26/2/22 , the service was excellent,the food 💯 .Lavinia is such a great host.

We went here for Sheesha and drinks. The service was really good. Ioana was superb. The watermelon & mint Sheesha was excellent and very smooth. I would really recommend this to anyone for a really nice Sheesha experience in Leicester Square.

Didn't bother reading reviews prior as it was a last min booking, now I have we are very surprised at some of the reviews. We eat out a lot and I must say that this is one of the best meals we have had in...

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY! ordered £55 bottle of Red Art Shiraz Rojomoma (£30 in shops) but was served a very average Scenic Ridge Shiraz (£6.49 in shops), receipt listed Rojomoma. Emailed them 4 times last week to ask for an explanation, no reply so obviously they do...

We had a party of 28 here. Layilnia hosted the party. She entertained the guests throughout the party. I strongly recommend holding a party at her presence. The food was amazing, we had ample space of our choice, the presentation of the food was excellent....

We arrived at 7.30 we then ordered minutes later. Drinks were lovely. Half an hour went past and people who were getting there food had arrived after us so we asked the waitress where our food was to be told 10 minutes maximum. Everyone arriving...

Visited Bosporus yesterday for the first time, the food was ok but very expensive for the amount you get. We had a mixed grill for 2 and this was over £50, this was just enough food for one. Childrens burgers were ok, although it’s seems...

Awful experience, no atmosphere, food overpriced for average quality, prawns were cold, brought starters out with main, tried serving us £6 tesco prosecco and kumala wine and charging £32 and £27 respectively!! Overcharged us at the end too. Manager very defensive and patronising when we...

I went here with some friends and had a lovely experience. The staff were really friendly and lighthearted in a way that makes you want to keep coming back. Especially, Lavinia, she was so lovely to us and made this experience wonderful. The food and...

The food was really delightful and Lavinia was very pleasant and made the visit even more memorable.

My friend had 2 glasses of house white wine and was charged £24, to which 12.5% gratuity is automatically added. There are no hard copy menus. You have to download a soft copy to your phone by scanning a code on the table. There is...

I give one star as there is no option for zero! We visited this turkish restaurant as previously have had amazing turkish meals elsewhere. We are greeted with Italian staff throughout with no knowledge of the service expected in a Turkish feel In an empty...

We were looking to go somewhere after our theatre show down the road and not most places in the area were closing. We came across Bosporus and it was in a great location and looked very nice from the outside. As soon as we walked...

Antonella made me and my friends feel like royalty. The recommendations and service from her was outstanding. Originally we had Costa serving us but seemed very disgruntled when we arrived and during our dining experience. Thankfully Antonella (management) was on hand to give 5star service....

Great food great experience Shutout to Antonella she looked after us Nicely I will definitely come back

When we arrived nobody was outside so we walked inside. They asked why we weren’t greeted so I explained. There were special notes on my booking for seating as I have a spinal problem which they didn’t acknowledge. We sat down on a table and...

THE WORST RESTAURANT THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!! NO RESPECT FOR CUSTOMERS!!! UNPROFESSIONAL!!! OVERPRICED FOOD!! BLAND FOOD!!!! RUDE STAFF!!! Did not acknowledge our booking time. Got seated and the waitress walked off. After 30mins of waiting the waitress came over and took our drinks,...

Found this place by chance. Food was great, lots of choice but the only downside was the service from a particularly patronising waiter called Konstantinos. Other waiters and usher were polite and friendly but this particular guy needs re-training

After hearing good things about this restaurant. We decided that we would treat ourselves to a fancy lunch. The minute we walked in the atmosphere was shocking albeit a beautiful place. The man who greeted us was abrupt and asked if we wanted a table...

Amazing service and the food was so tasty.would definitely be back so amazing The knife with ice cream js my favorite

I had a great experience the food was very good and the service great, very friendly stuff, definitely will be back

Amazing service, the music the atmosphere and the food is a real gem. The private room it was perfect for my meetings I'll definitely be back.

Popped in here for drinks outside as it looked nice and cosy all was fine until I got the bill and had been charged double the cost on the menu for my glass of wine £12 for the house wine (which tasted like vinegar may...

We tried to eat here a few months back as 'walk ins' but were dismissed by the bouncer without even checking with the Hostess. Despite this, as we love Turkish hospitality and food, we booked for our next visit to London last weekend (20th November)....

We came across this restaurant on a Friday Night, we wanted just drinks and a place to smoke, that s why we chose this restaurant. Upon arrival, without reservation, they gave us a nice table outside. We ordered drinks, everyone was friendly, quick service, nothing...

Cane across this restaurant and me and my friend decided to get some shisha. The doorman was a bit rude but he got us a table quite quickly.. the other staff was nice tho . We payed £47 and chose the apple flavour, the waitress...

Upon arrival we were asked if we would like water for the table, an accompaniment we believed to be free, as it is in most restaurants. When we received the bill however, we found that we had been charged £6 for “Turkish” spring water, which...

Menu is only available online which makes choosing very frustrating and we were ready to walk out, hard to read on a phone so not a great experience. Staff were pleasant but it was difficult to hear due to noise. Expensive for what it was,

We had a great time. The food quality was superb. Reasonable prices. Big portions. Especial Thank you to Konstantinos. Immaculate service. He went above and beyond to make our experience more memorable and enjoyable.

Nice food. Good service. Brilliant location. Was surprised we could get a walk especially where it was. Would of got 5 stars but price was a lot for what you get. But still nice.

Amazing experience! Came for my birthday dinner and everything was absolutely fabulous🤗 Our waiter (the Greek one) make us very happy, recommend lovely mains and make sure that we enjoy our food

I want to you walking around Leicester Square I found the best restaurant called Bosporus and I was happy with service! Was my first time in my life trying Shisha Was more than amazing and for this kind such Nice experience I just say thank...

Nothing Turkish about this place. Whoever runs this place has no idea about Turkish hospitality. I made the terrible mistake of taking my Dutch wife to eat here trying to show her Turkish food and hospitality. Got turned away by a rude door man because...

The beautiful interior leads you to believe that the food will be of an equally high standard. Sadly this is not the case. Average tasting starters followed by a terrible main course. Dry cold chicken covered with a bland tomato sauce is not the Turkish...

We were walking around with my friends and we decided to stop in this place for sisha,to chill and to have some nice time next to Leicester Square! Alaa make sure we had everything on spot and he offered us Turkish tea and baklava in...

I was really looking forward to eating here as i had read reviews that were very promising. Sadly disappointed- tables were sticky....the chicken was dry...no complimentary bakhlava at end of the meal. Plus the prices were extortionate. The waiters were very friendly which was the...

Second visit to Bosporus in Leicester Square 27/8 we’ve been many time in Dubai - ordered hummus -signature salad - bread & 2 chicken with rice dishes - all was well until the chicken dishes arrived - they were cold - obviously been sitting in...

Food was amazing just so much to choose from. Opted for mixed Meze starter and then the prawn dish . Plenty for 2 people ! Waitress really friendly and knowledgeable , glad I followed her recommendation to try the homemade lemonade ……it was delicious. Will...

Very much looked forward to spending an evening here with the family, having a child with special needs I was chuffed to bits to find a suitable table in the corner away from others, that would work perfect for our situation so we can have...

EXCEPTIONAL BREAKFAST, we are so surprised at the quality of the food for the price. Also Constantinos served us, he was AMAZING! Would recommend to everyone.

Definitely enjoy coming to this restaurant. The foods were delicious,yummy and the staff are lovely but the service were slow. Definitely recommend this place.

Good excellent , staff very attentive . I went there with my friend on a break time . Definitely recommend

The location is great right on Leicester Square! Food was super amazing. We came for the Turkish breakfast in the mornings cants say anything but it was amazing. A huge selection of dishes for two with free tea for only £20. Our server was a...

I don’t know where to start. Google says they’re open till 1AM when in fact the kitchen closes at 10:30pm. The waitress rushed to take the order and physically ran to the kitchen to put the order in. The hummus with the bread was horrible....

My wife and I absolutely would recommend this lovely restaurant. The food was smashing, and the service was tip-top too. I should that they have a new lift to get disabled customers into the restaurant and also fully accessibility toilet. There was an unexpected mechanical...

Honestly it’s my favourite fine dining place. The meat is incredible and I love the decor and the atmosphere

Had lunch at Bosporus and was very impressed with the quality of food- we had the mixed mezi starter to share. It was a substantial amount of food for two and would easily be sufficient for 4. Extra bread was freely available. Service was cheery,...

Delicious food and beautiful ambiance with excellent customer service I highly recommend this place for anyone that’s visiting london anytime soon . Weini

In 04/072021 Being my birthday I decided To go with my 4 r friend to the Bosporus restaurant in Leicester Square where I had to be in the past …Everything was extremely good and the food was excellent ( salmon steak with lamb chops and...

I had a lovely diner at the bosporus my bradda ziko always make my night big up to him man best waiter in uk ❤️

So after seeing this place going viral I decided to check it out myself. Honestly, it lived up to its standards due to the service we received. We didn’t know what to order, however thanks to our amazing waiter ZIKO he gave us an insight...

I visited this place with my friends today and had amazing time. We were served by Ziko who was very helpful on the suggestions of what to order, he brought the food over quite quckily as well as the drink orders too. Very smiley and...

The food was fantastic. We were served by a very enthusiastic and attentive Waiter. Recommend us very nice dishes and I can’t fault anything. Thanks a million and will be visiting again definitely.

Waited 45 mins for someone to take our order, we had to ask twice before someone did. Food was ok, the starter for 2 was rather mean though, and the drinks overpriced. There are better places to eat. We won’t go again.

We were looking for something to eat around Leicester Square and never expect much from restaurants due to high turnover but this place is a gem - it was fairly quiet as it was a Wednesday evening and still partly restricted due to Covid but...

Centrally located in the heart of London in Leicester Square. On a Sunday afternoon on a sunny June day all of the outdoor tables were empty, which perhaps should have rung warning bells. We ordered just drinks, Turkish tea - a staple of Turkish restaurants...

Excellent service, delicious food and the highlight of our lunch was the aromatic Turkish coffee with turkish delights on the side! Very pleasant dining experience and I highly recommend it after a long shopping day in the centre of London!

Decent food and good portions but service ver slow and protocols very very poor. Dirty tables , staff service with masks off and allowing smoking outdoor seats so 1990

The service was terrible and slow and the workers were quite angry not professional enough. Waited 50 minutes for three drinks

Food and service was excellent. Special thanks to Labinya (who made the evening amazing!) and Micaela - and the rest of the staff were brill. Thank you - will definitely be back :)

banging food great recommendations from antonila I loved the food I will defno back soon great effort from antonila

Visited on an afternoon and had an amazing time, Food was amazing, atmosphere perfect, staff friendly and attentive, we were greeted by the hostess, which the was an amazing touch, We had the most amazing steak and the hummus with meat is out of the...

We booked this restaurant as post Eid celebratory meal. We ordered drinks and about 10 minutes later was informed that they did not have Turkish tea... I had a sense of foreboding about how our meal was going to continue!! We ordered the babaganoush for...

First time I've been to this restaurant and I will be back. The food was fab! The staff can't do enough for you. Very friendly and a great atmosphere overall. Thank you! Can't wait to return.

Nice time with my friends at dinner, but what made everything special was the waitress Antonella, She was so funny and nice, best service ever!

Firstly Antonella. F gave fantastic service, adhering to all our needs, was kind and made the experience worth while! Unfortunately couldn’t try dessert as they didn’t have it ready, but the main food and mocktails were good :)

Quiet good experience. All 5 stars go to Antonella 👍 who just made my day. Thank you for your amazing service🥰 I would definitely come back to this place.

This restaurant is such a big joke. We booked for 8.15pm and had to wait 20mins to get a table. After ordering after 10 minutes, we waited for our dishes almost 1h30 !! And when we complain about the delay in service, the waiter answers...

We booked a table for 8pm, we were waiting in a queue for 20 minutes, when we eventually sat down to our table starters came and then we were waiting for the main course for 1hour and a half, the waitresses kept apologising about the...

We visited the restaurant by chance, what an amazing experience , not to forget about our lovely waiter Christian who were very helpful and helped us to order the best dishes . We had cold meze for starter and the beautiful Bosporus mixt grill for...

Nothing we wanted to order was available ( 5 different dishes) end Ed up with the bhosphurus mixed grill. Everything was over cooked. Personally very disappointed in the food. Certain dishes are very hard to mess up yet somehow happened. Adana kebab somehow was over...
