We’ve always been happy with the Turkish food in this friendly place, but this Thanksgiving discovered that they also offer a turkey dinner on this day. $50 per person for tasty turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, special rice, plus pumpkin pie and coffee. Since we no longer want to be bothered at Thanksgiving we will probably return here.

I have been to this restaurant a few times last year in October (to honor Turkish Heritage Month) and my last time going to this place so far was on the nineteenth of May to celebrate the day the Turkish War of Independence began. I love this place very much and to my knowledge, I have dined in on five occasions.

It's always a wonderful experience coming to The Bosphorus in Nutley. The environment is warm and the restaurant workers are very kind and friendly. Their grilled octopus and kebab platter are top notch. Very good price for the food you have and service you receive.
