Bosporus Türkisch Essen in Essen

The food was very tasty, our wishes were taken into account and the staff was very friendly

Delicious Turkish food and very nice staff. Freshly and authentically prepared.

Nice, friendly and attentive service, excellent food.

Very nice service and great food!

The Bosporus restaurant impresses with its quality. The interior is unique in its style, and the taste is sophisticated, especially considering the range of Turkish cuisine in Essen. This justifies the moderate prices. The restaurant itself is usually busy, meaning guests always feel surrounded by families or older couples. Depending on the order, the meal is served in three courses. The staff seems a bit temperamental, but also interested in the general well-being of the customer. In my opinion, the Bosporus restaurant is a pioneer of Turkish cuisine in Essen and therefore definitely worth a visit.

The food is great. The prices in the restaurant are reasonable, but far too high for takeout.

Highly recommended. Meat, fish, and vegetables from the charcoal grill. We had vegetable doner kebab, lamb skewers, and lamb soup. All delicious. And the service was friendly and prompt.

"Highly recommended! Super delicious cuisine, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere. The dishes are creative and lovingly prepared. We'll definitely be back!"

I've eaten at Bosporus several times. Most recently, I ordered a lamb skewer with fries. For starters, I received a small plate of salad and dressing. There was also a small bread basket with toasted pita bread and three sauces: tzatziki, garlic, and a spicy sauce. All sauces were homemade. The highlight was, of course, the lamb skewer. It came in a delicious marinade, and the meat was very tender. The fries were crispy, and overall, I was very satisfied with my meal. I can also recommend the chai I ordered with it. The portion was generous, and I was filling. It should be noted that card payments are apparently not encouraged, but are still possible. The prices are in the higher segment compared to other Turkish restaurants. As for the service, I found the waitresses to be just okay overall. They performed their duties well, but seemed a bit passive-aggressive in some situations. The restaurant is divided into two areas: a snack bar and a restaurant. The snack bar functions as a traditional kebab shop. The restaurant area has its own menu. Eating food from the snack bar menu in the restaurant area is not permitted. The restaurant area is, of course, much more stylish and cleaner than the snack bar. There's also an outdoor terrace in the summer. All in all, Bosporus is one of the better addresses in Essen when it comes to Turkish cuisine.

Charcoal grill, incredibly delicious food. Best regards, Martin Brandt Brandtravel Motorhome Rental Essen Stadtwald

I've visited Bosporus several times now and I'm absolutely thrilled. The starter comes with a delicious salad, bread, and dips. The grilled meat is very high quality. The portions are generous. I'd especially like to mention the waiters. I've rarely been treated so kindly and courteously in a restaurant. Keep it up!!!! I'm very satisfied.

Delicious food and very attentive waiters. Always worth a visit.

Wow, the service was very friendly, and as soon as you walked in, you were given your menu. You also get free bread with delicious dips. When the food arrived, a pot of dry ice was placed on the table, and dry ice smoke billowed out. It was a very exciting and enjoyable experience.

Super delicious and authentic! I've been coming here for years; it's always worth a visit.

I ate there with my team yesterday. Great selection and very friendly staff. There was an unexpected show when serving the main course. One colleague thought the fries were too salty, but otherwise, 9 out of 10.

I like eating here. Simple, good Turkish food. Fits.

I was there spontaneously today with my partner and my parents. We sat outside as the weather was wonderful. Our table was cleaned immediately and we were able to order our drinks quickly. The gentleman who served us was really very friendly to us. We received our drinks and our food quite quickly. The food was very tasty and, above all, very attractively prepared. We all enjoyed and enjoyed it very much 😊 We will definitely come back when the time comes. Keep it up 🍀

We were ignored by the waiter upon arrival. At first, we were shocked and thought he might not understand English, but we quickly realized he was deliberately ignoring us. He turned his back on us and made it clear he did not want to serve us, so we decided to leave. If you are Black or Arab, I strongly advise you not to go there, as you may not be treated with respect. They deserve NO stars.

Great snack and a very nice restaurant area (also with an outdoor terrace)!! You have to try the wine.

We had an absolutely perfect evening! The food was not only a highlight in terms of taste, but also beautifully prepared. Every course was creative, fresh and prepared with great attention to detail. The service was attentive, warm and professional and you immediately felt welcome. The ambience was also cozy and stylish at the same time. Everything is just right here, we will definitely come back! The kunafa was the best kunafa I have ever eaten in all of Essen😍 just wow!!!!

Exelent food, love it , guys put some nice music, bring it a designer to create atmosphere with proper light cartons and plants and you will do really good. Great potential, serve with a smile

Today, my wife and I entered because it was on the road, we regretted that we entered, we were going to get up, unfortunately they brought the appetizers, we said no cheese pita, no spinach pita, no minced meat pita. Anyway, my wife told us that she came to Adana, there is neither bread nor lavash with it, I asked the waiter for lavash, the answer was that we don't normally serve lavash on the side. We're almost done, this is not the place to go, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone anyway.

There were four of us there today. We made reservations in advance and were warmly welcomed. The menu is varied and the prices are absolutely fair. Had Tavuk Şiş and the meat was juicy! The service was very friendly and we will definitely eat there again in the summer because there is an outdoor area!👍✨

The portions were far too small for the price-performance ratio. Unfortunately the service wasn't good. Some items in our order were forgotten. We also had to wait a long time for the food. Therefore unfortunately not recommended.

Decent restaurant! At the front there is a “döner kebab shop” with a lot of selection, at the back there is a nice restaurant with a good menu! Yummy ! Recommended!

It used to be one of my favorite shops in the city forest. However, a drastic price increase was made. €25.50 for a normal grill plate. For me that was it. Too bad.

Everything was great... highly recommended 👍👍

An absolutely recommended Turkish restaurant! The service is excellent – ​​attentive, friendly and fast. The food was simply fantastic, fresh and with authentic taste. We were particularly impressed by the price-performance ratio, which is truly unbeatable. There is also plenty of parking space, which makes the visit even more relaxing. We'll definitely be back!

The food is healthy and delicious. Prices are affordable. A friendly and friendly service is offered. I recommend the meat soup (kelle paça) and lamb shish kebab. A different home-cooked meal is available every day, and I recommend you to check it out and order it. We are here at least once a week. Our little girl loves meat soup....

The food was so fresh and delicious. Good selection. We'd love to come back

Largest kebab pocket in the Ruhr area (probably ;-). Lots of salad, delicious meat and bread for a good price. Friendly service and parking nearby. We'd love to come back!

Unfortunately, the employees seem very listless and not really friendly. We ordered a kebab plate which was a disgrace in terms of price alone (€15.50) and also tasted very bad. We asked several times what meat it was since we don't eat chicken/turkey and were assured that it was veal. When we looked at the meat we immediately realized that it was definitely NOT veal. After asking 3 times they only admitted that it wasn't a veal but a turkey. As a restaurateur, lying to your customers like that is not possible at all! Chicken skewer was also not cooked properly and not tasty at all. If we hadn't been hungry we would have preferred to leave it alone. We will definitely never go here again.

Hello, we were here at the weekend. I've been meaning to do it for a long time, but never done it, why not🤔so I can recommend it, great dishes, everything fresh and what's great, freshly prepared on a CHARCOAL GRILL👍👍👍YUMYY👌😁 Nice service, so just take a look pure. Greetings Anne😘

..auf die (höflich gestellte) Frage, ob ich mit EC Karte zahlen kann, kam die patzige Antwort:“ab 30,00 Euro. Da ich alleine war und etwas togo bestellen wollte, war es eindeutig, dass ich die Summe nicht erreichen würde. Ich habe Verständnis für einen realistischen Mindestbetrag, aber hier ist es willkürlich und unverschämt. Für mich nie wieder!

I would eat the Bosporus restaurant in Essen Recommend to everyone, the food is very tasty and the plates are beautifully decorated. The waiters and staff are very hospitable. The dessert Revani was also super delicious.

The food wasn't good at all, as everyone said. Afterwards I had a severe stomach ache. Service with a woman who seemed likeable at the beginning but became very unfriendly towards the end because she made a mistake and couldn't accept it. Don't respond to the customers and didn't even want to exchange the food, which was wrong. Any normal restaurant would have done this. Not recommended!

NOT RECOMMENDED‼️ Experiencing severe bloating and stomach pain after eating. The waitress, who was very nice and personable at the beginning, was very unfriendly towards the end and didn't want to exchange a customer's food and said: "You didn't tell me, it's your fault" everyone would exchange the food.! If I could I would give the restaurant 0 stars... !

Very disappointed with the staff, extremely rude....definitely not coming back

Very tasty and above all super fresh!!

The food and service staff are excellent! I can only recommend it!

Today my husband was treated very rudely by two male employees when he tried to pay with a card. The employee's behavior was disappointing and unprofessional. I think it would be helpful if the staff received training on how to deal with customers to avoid such experiences in the future.

Wonderful food, so varied and always delicious. Super wine too. Great atmosphere

Great food! Çok güzel! Had a lovely dinner here in the restaurant (be sure to enter the right door, or you'll be in the take-out part of this place, there's a more cozy part around the corner). Dinner was very nice. All real and authentic Turkish food. The sigara böreği was excellent and I wish we had more dolma... Next time I'll try the İmam bayıldı. We came in quite late, and were the last to go, but we had a lovely chat with the very friendly staff (in German, English and Turkish). Teşekkür ederim!

Very cozy, large portions and fair prices. Very friendly staff!

Cash payment only (greetings to the tax office), I picked it up and unfortunately did the math too late when I got home: I paid almost €20 too much. Food is ok, but not special. And there is another way to be friendly.

It was very, very tasty and I will definitely come again 👍🏽

Delicious food and nice service.

Das Essen war insgesamt ganz gut. Reichlich und gut gewürzt. Aber Insgesamt etwas unsauber und ungepflegt. Die Preise sind zu hoch. Kein gutes Gefühl.

Everyone is super friendly. The food is delicious and plentiful. Always my pleasure.

Delicious food for little money

Food in the restaurant is actually delicious. The snack bar next door is served from the same kitchen and tastes the same. However, card payment is only possible if you order in a restaurant. (But then paid at the snack bar counter using the card machine). When ordering at the snack bar at this counter with a view of this device, only cash payment is possible. 1 out of 5 tax office stars.

We ate there and it was very good. Can only recommend

Food ok, shop looks a bit tidy like the day before yesterday. The facility could be improved, but unfortunately the service is also subpar given the prices quoted. Nope, thanks.😎

We ate in the restaurant and were very satisfied. The food was not overpriced and tasty. The service was very good and also quick. Only recommended.

Very good Turkish cuisine and very nice staff

Super delicious food, nice service, would be happy again

Great cuisine, more of a restaurant than a kebab shop. Adana Kebab was fantastic, I'm someone who likes to add spices, but this wasn't necessary here. Even the fries are very seasoned. Of course, the meat is also great and fried to about medium rare and therefore still very fluffy. Atmosphere is a bit hectic due to a larger intersection in front of the door. For this reason, the garden doesn't have the most relaxed vibes. There is enough parking nearby in the evening. Things can get tricky during the day. Absolutely recommended.

Small restaurant with a snack bar. Outdoor terrace with parasols. Very friendly service and good food.

Small kebab 8 euros. Doner kebab ok, different sauces, spicy etc is not even offered. Staff not particularly concerned about friendliness. There are few alternatives in urban forests.

We were able to enjoy the beer garden. The food was delicious

Super tasty lamb skewers with rice and bread. Small salad. Everything was fine

Simply not recommended, I was really looking forward to an original Turkish dish, but the lamb dish was just mishimashi. The service was also rude and inattentive.

A perfect environment, a great local with great taste and service. I would like to thank everyone who contributed. I highly recommend it to everyone 😘😘😘

One of the freshest and tastiest kebabs I've had.

Wir waren gestern mal wieder im Bosporus am Stadtwaldplatz in Essen essen. An der Qualität der Vorspeisen und des Hauptgerichts gab es wie bei allen Besuchen zuvor nichts auszusetzen, sehr lecker. Der Service war wie immer ebenfalls sehr gut, kurze Wartezeiten und sehr freundlich. Was den positiven Eindruck allerdings erheblich getrübt hat, ist die Entwicklung der Preise über die letzten Jahre. Ende 2021 kostete das Lammkotlett mit Salat und Pommes 14,90 €. Laut Homepage beträgt der Preis 18,50 €, tatsächlich liegt er jetzt bei 21,50 €. Der scharfe Hackspieß mit Salat und Pommes kostete 2021 noch 12,50 €, laut Homepage 17,50 €, tatsächlich aber jetzt 19,50 €. Die Preise sind seit 2021 also um ca. 35-40% gestiegen. Ein Weißbier für 5 € und ein Raki für 5 € sind auch nicht günstig. Mein Gehalt ist in den letzten drei Jahren nicht um 40% gestiegen. Fazit: qualitativ wirklich gut, den Peis ist es aber nicht mehr wert

We picked up kebab today. The kebabs tasted very good. But we can't understand why the prices on the homepage aren't even updated. They are totally outdated and are now significantly higher.

It was very delicious . Especially the three dips that were available as a free starter with fresh flatbread.

Apart from the incredibly delicious Adana and chicken, super nice service, even our Chihuahua was full! Always my pleasure !!

Very tasty food! Friendly staff. Would love to come back.

Spontaneously for a lunch, it was the surprise of all. The lamb's head soup was sensational. The Adana exceptional. We will be back. The very friendly service is also a reason for this.

Very tasty Turkish dishes, freshly prepared. Absolutely nice and fast service. The price/performance ratio is also right. The restaurant and the snack bar are highly recommended.

Really great, exceptional food! The (separate) mix of snack bar and restaurant is particularly successful. Depending on how much time and leisure you have. The grilled dishes are prepared on charcoal (a difference you can really taste!) and everything is particularly delicious. The only thing you have to watch with children (or people who don't tolerate it well) is the sharpness. We'd love to come back again and again! Thanks so much!

The food was delicious, the service was attentive and the ambience was great This restaurant is a must and I recommend it to everyone.

We got kebab there for the first time today, super tasty. Meat not over-seasoned, side dishes super fresh even though it was already 5 p.m., great presentation of the sauces and chopped vegetables. The various grilled skewers also looked very appealing. Price performance is also right. You get full.

We ate in the restaurant and spontaneously got a seat without a reservation. The service was very friendly and the grill platter for two people was very tasty. The dessert, tangerine cake in a glass, was also very good. We'll definitely be back.

Everything was great, the food was great, the service was very friendly and I would recommend it 👍🏻👍🏻

Prices for the kebab increased to 8 EUR and reduced in size! Are you crazy? Ok, there's still meat in it, in contrast to the rest of the Essener Leberkäs kebabs, but that's still way too much!!

Yesterday I treated myself to a grilled plate and it was one of the best I've eaten. Apart from that there was also a show and we were very happy with my girlfriend.

Unfortunately I have to revise my review significantly downwards. €21 for 2 kebabs and a large fries. Everything has its limits and for us they have been exceeded here.

Discovered today by accident Ate very tasty Vegetable kebab Something completely different

The BEST kebab north of the Bosphorus! With an attached restaurant, there is a lot of choice from Turkish cuisine here, not just the classic snacks, but also incredibly delicious daily specials that I can only recommend! Staff nice, it wouldn't necessarily be my ambience to eat there, but many people like it that way.

3 stars for everything. Dürüm in ready-made wraps from Lidl, briefly thrown on the contact grill for a bit of heat, filled with absolutely run-of-the-mill content for 9EUR. The price/performance ratio is not right

It's a shame that the prices on the website are not correct.

Very nice service, super delicious food

8 euros for a small kebab? Certainly not. In other cities it only costs €5.

We were satisfied with the food and the service. The meat was fresh, flavorful and grilled to perfection. The starters were also very good. Price performance great.

Absolutely authentic Turkish cuisine. The food was excellent and plentiful. The food tasted like you were on vacation. Price performance good and justified. We will now be regular guests. A huge compliment for such a great meal in a very clean restaurant. Staff very friendly and accommodating

Super tasty food (starters and main course) and friendly staff. Very good price-performance ratio.

Sehr schöne Restaurant gute Ambiente . Nette Personal freundlich und aufmerksam , alles wird frisch zubereitet . Wer die türkische Gerichte mag wird nicht entäuscht . Mit ruhigen Gewissen kann ich weiter empfehlen . Absolut empfehlenswert .

Super freundliches Personal Gerne wieder.

Es war eine schöne Betriebsfeier. Wir hatten einen heiden Spass. Die Bedienung war unheimlich nett und schnell . Wir kommen wieder haben alle gesagt. Und auch wenn wir die letzten waren, sorry eigentlich wollten wir nicht gehen , es war ein schöner Abend , lecker essen, und beide Bedingungen sind sehr nett und sehr aufmerksam. Wir kommen alles Gruppe und auch alleine gerne wieder. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt

Sehr gutes Essen, aber ich muss es selber mit bringen Kuss an meine Mutti. Der Services ist sehr ungenügen (6).

Sehr leckeres Essen zu fairen Preisen. Sehr nettes Personal. Verschiedene türkische Gerichte als Tellergerichte (vor Ort) oder zum Mitnehmen. Gute Unterteilung zwischen Imbiss und Restaurant. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

Lieben Dank für das lecker servierte Essen,

Ich hatte leider kein Bargeld dabei und Kartenzahlung ist nicht möglich. Als ich den Inhaber in vernünftigem Tonfall darauf hingewiesen habe, das ich das für nicht mehr zeitgemäß halte wurde dieser ausfallend. In Kombination völlig untragbar. Werde einen großen Bogen um den Imbiss machen. PS: Zu den Anmerkungen des Inhabers (su): 1. Das wertet den Service noch einmal ab. Wenn doch im Restaurant Kartenzahlung möglich ist, warum hat der Inhaber das dann nicht angeboten als ich mitteilte das ich kein Geld dabei habe und nach der nächsten Sparkasse fragte? Das wäre guter Service und über den eigenen Schatten springen gewesen. 2. Mein Tonfall war sachlich und ruhig, leider war das Gegenüber sofort aggressiv und laut. Dem habe ich mich angepasst, muss mich als Gast ja nicht anmotzen lassen, nur weil ich meine Meinung geäußert habe. Bin ich nicht stolz drauf, schäme mich aber auch nicht dafür. Wie es in den Wald hinein schallt.... Der Inhaber scheint bei dieser Kritik leider sehr dünnhäutig zu sein. 3. Ich habe nichts "entschieden", sondern nur meine persönliche Meinung zum Ausdruck gebracht, das ich es für nicht zeitgemäß halte, wenn man Kunden nicht elektronisch zahlen lässt: Ob auf spanischem Flohmarkt oder in niederländischer Strandbude: ich konnte dieses Jahr überall problemlos mit Karte zahlen, aber der Dönerladen in Essen macht es nicht? Das kann man schon hinterfragen und ist natürlich kein guter Service. 4. Ich habe die Bewertung nicht aus Frust geschrieben, sondern nur objektiv meinen Besuch bewertet: schlechter Service (keine Kartenzahlung möglich, obwohl im Restaurant ein Gerät vorhanden ist) und unterirdische Atmosphäre: (meine vernünftig vorgetragene Meinung wurde mit Lautstärke und Aggression beantwortet - Argumente wurden mir keine genannt). Das Essen kann ich ja nicht bewerten und habe es auch nicht getan.

Das Bosporus Restaurant hat mich mit seinem authentischen Geschmack und freundliche Service beeindruckt. Die vielfältige Auswahl an türkischen Köstlichkeiten war einfach herrlich. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich. Ich komme definitiv wieder!

It’s by a busy area so it tends to get a little loud but the employees are super friendly and the food is just perfect. I’d go as far as saying it’s my favorite restaurant in Essen. 10/10, definitely try!

They offer the best lamb soup in the whole world, I would say.

Sehr lecker aber leider wird die Portion von Monat zu monat weniger hab ich das Gefühl
