Bosforo

Bosforo is a chef-driven Turkish - Mediterranean restaurant by Chef Seckin Sage Anlasbay, located in the heart of San Diego’s Adams Avenue, Normal Heights. Inspired by the lively meyhane-style restaurants of Istanbul and the coastal flavors of the Mediterranean, Bosforo brings bold meze, fire-grilled kebabs, and wood-fired artisan pizza to the table. Signature dishes include our handcrafted Adana kebab, lahmacun, seasonal meze plates, and lamp chop. The space is warm, modern, and communa with an open kitchen, open pizza bar and a full bar serving rakı-forward signature cocktails. Veteran-co-owned and proudly rooted in San Diego, Bosforo delivers Mediterranean hospitality with California soul.
