Bosphorus is incredible. I had the Iskender Kebab, and it was delicious. The tomato sauce was incredibly rich, smooth, sweet and went perfectly with the yogurt on the meat. The portion was the perfect size for me to leave full and happy. We also ordered a chicken gyro that was equally as tasty and a large serving as well.
The service was great too. The owner, Melhi, was very kind and interesting to talk to. The decor was fun too. Lots of cultural items from Turkey and symbols of the country. If you’re in Denver and want the best possible Mediterranean food, Bosphorus is the place to go.
Everything was so good, I almost forgot to mention the dark, strong, and sweet Turkish coffee.

The food was so good and so fresh! Even the salad was made to order, and the service was so kind and friendly. This is a great casual spot for a delicious meal.

Ordered takeout from here and was very disappointed. The falafel wrap was dry; no hummus or tahini. There was some yogurt dressing but I think that was meant for the side salad. Overall, wouldn't go back.

So good I could cry. Must try the orange tea and the Turkish coffee. I just ate the Iskender Kebab, and a plate of dolmas. I find my belly satisfied and a portion of my faith in humanity restored. A truly wonderful little hole-in-the-wall where you can get an authentic taste of the Mediterranean.

The sheep's head dish prepared according to the Kyrgyz recipe was the best of all that I have tried in this world.

Maybe I just picked the wrong menu items or got unlucky but I didn't have the same experience as everyone else. I got the lentil soup which was like pureed and liquidy, and was very lacking in flavor and salt.
I also got the gyro sandwich, and the way it was made was the bottom 1/3 is all lettuce and the top 2/3 is all gyro meat so when you get to the bottom you're just eating lettuce. It also just had a single slice of tomato and onion on the very top, so again you're just getting a bite of tomato and onion once but not the rest of the sandwich. Just didn't really make sense how it was constructed.
The gyro meat was delicious though and I loved the baklava. Also love that the garlic sauce is on the table so you don't have to ask for it.
I'd give this place another shot but I wasn't too impressed with my first try unfortunately.
