Review: Bosphorus Turkish Fine Cuisine

Turkish food are considered as one of the three most renowned food in the world, just behind the French and the Chinese. I always wanted to try them, but it's a bit hard to find authentic Turkish food in Malaysia. I straight away enter Bosphorus when I saw they served Turkish Fine Cuisine.

The atmosphere is good, but for a place that served fine cuisine, I expect more.



Due to my lack of experience, I really don't know what to order and can just stare at the menu. Therefore, I decided that I will let the waiter to help us on choosing what to order.

The first thing that came is the free nan with some garlic (or whatever it is). Although it's free, but seriously I find that those nan selling at mamak stalls are better.

My rating "Nan": 2/10



For the appetizer, we had "Imam Bayildi", also knowned as the Imam's favorite dish, making it one of the most famous dish from Turkey. It's basically braised eggplant stuffed with onion, garlic and tomatoes. Although the taste are not bad, and is actually the best dish served at that night, but I am fairly disappointed with it. The taste is quite blend, nothing amazing, and seriously, nothing worth to shout about, especially being the most famous dish in Turkey.

My rating "Imam Bayildi": 4/10



The next food that being served are "Dag Kekikli Tavuk Sote". It's chicken marinated with mountain oregano, and then cooked with spring onions, green chillies, tomatoes and mushrooms. Well, I am totally not impressed when the dish came. It just look so normal, and same goes to the taste.

My rating "Dag Kekikli Tavuk Sote": 3/10



The next dish was the "Iskender Doner". It's actually kebab topped with tomato sauce, lemon butter, and fresh home made yoghurt. Again, this dish failed badly. The meat itself is a bit hard although it was sliced thinly. I won't say the sauce taste bad, cause it seems to be too dull.

My rating "Iskender Doner": 2/10



Overall, I won't step in into Bosphorus Turkish Fine Cuisine at Pavillion again. It totally not worth the price at all. I pay a total of RM163.30 for the dishes above, but even if the price are slashed to RM50, I still won't come back again. I however, still won't give up on Turkish food. So anyone know where I can eat nice Turkish food, please tell me.

Total damage:

"Imam Bayildi" - RM16.80
"Dag Kekikli Tavuk Sote" - RM50.80
"Iskender Doner" - RM58.80

How to get there:
Level 6, Pavilion KL
