“Regarding ordering food - our order was simple. They brought us almost everything correctly. I'm disappointed from the fact that I particularly asked for fresh vegetables with my kofte. But they brought me kofte with chopped onions and piece of grilled tomato. It's my fault that I didn't specify that I don't eat onions like this. But the grilled tomato is NOT fresh vegetable. Grilled means gone through termical treatment and cooked. For me the cooked tomatoes are disgusting and that's why I specifically asked for fresh tomato.”

Try breakfast. Consider breakfast for two if you want a broad spread; reviewers describe the selection as generous and convenient.
Share portions. For a group, consider the Bosporus Mixed Grill or a mixed mezze because several reviews describe portions as large.
Visit off-peak. For a quieter meal and smoother breakfast service, avoid the morning rush and peak periods.
Check parking. Street parking in front may be paid; reviewers also mention free rear parking, though its surface is described as sand or dirt.
Ask about seating. Choose indoor or outdoor seating deliberately: outdoor tables may be intended for smokers and can be near roadside noise.
Confirm leftovers. If taking food home, check the packed leftovers before leaving after one diner reported missing items.
Plan the visit
One review found the lamb chops cold and the mixed starter oily and reheated.
Breakfast service can slow down during the morning rush.
Several diners consider the pricing above average or high for the area.
Roadside seating can be noisy, although one diner found the distance from the road manageable outdoors.
One group reported that part of its requested leftovers was missing when it got home.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Bosporus Turkish Cuisine in Jumeirah is a sit-down Turkish restaurant that works for breakfast, family meals and relaxed dinners. The menu gives you plenty to share: the Bosporus Mixed Grill, cold mezze, kebabs and freshly baked bread are recurring strengths. Manti is worth noting too, since one reviewer called it a rare Turkish dish to find in Dubai.
Breakfast has its own following, with generous set menus and options such as breakfast for two and cheese burak. For dessert, the crisp kunefe, baklava and Turkish ice cream are the safer bets from the reviews; complimentary Turkish tea is also mentioned by diners. The setting is warm and Turkish-inspired, with indoor and outdoor seating, and one review highlights a second-floor skyline and sunset view.
There are a few practical caveats. Breakfast can slow during the morning rush, and the restaurant may feel crowded at peak times. One diner received cold lamb chops and an oily, seemingly reheated starter, so it is reasonable to flag temperature issues promptly.
Pricing is described as above average by some reviewers. Parking in front is paid, while rear parking has been described as free but sandy or unpaved. Outdoor seating may be designated for smokers and the roadside can be noisy.
