\u201cIn Istanbul, whether you\u2019re at a fancy rooftop restaurant or a food stall under a bridge, the best dining overlooks the Bosphorus,\u201d said coverage published<\/a> by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay this week. \u201cNow, Tampa Bay is getting a taste.\u201d<\/p>\n

News of the St. Pete opening of Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine has been everywhere in the last week or so. The restaurant launched its first Tampa Bay location with a restaurant on South Howard Avenue last year, and with the EDGE District opening it has doubled its Tampa Bay footprint.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all: Bosphorous is planning to double it again. Plenty have noted<\/a> that the brand\u2019s next stop is in Wesley Chapel. However, an additional nugget also showed up in coverage<\/a> by the Tampa Bay Times recently: Bosphorous also has its sights set on Sarasota, and it\u2019s currently scouting locations there.<\/p>\n

That means Tampa Bay could quickly see its Bosphorous count rise from one to four different locations.<\/p>\n

The Entr\u00e9es menu at Bosphorus ranges from Chicken dishes like Chicken Sis Kebap (Hand-carved fresh chicken breast marinated in our chef\u2019s blend of unique seasonings and chargrilled) and Chicken Adana Kebap (Grilled skewers of hand-ground chicken seasoned with fresh garlic, red bell peppers, light hot peppers & parsley) to Lamb Beef Dishes like Special Beyti Kebap (Hand-carved lamb flavored with garlic, hot Turkish peppers & parsley, then chargrilled on skewers and wrapped in our special pita. Topped with house-made tomato and yogurt sauces).<\/p>\n

There are also seafood choices like Grilled Sea Bass, Atlantic Salmon, and Karides G\u00fcve\u00e7 (Fresh shrimp saut\u00e9ed with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, garlic and herbs, then topped with kasar cheese in a rich cream sauce. Served with rice pilaf).<\/p>\n

The site of Bosphorous Sarasota has yet to be announced but one thing is for sure: Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine is taking the Floridan west coast\u2019s restaurant scene by storm!<\/p>\n
