Bosphorous, a popular Turkish restaurant in the Orlando area, will soon open a new location in Tampa Bay.
The concept has signed a lease to debut within the new mixed-use Edge Collective at 1246 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg, according to a press release from developers PTM Partners and hospitality investment organization DoveHill Capital Management.
While no exact opening date was given, Bosphorous will open on the ground floor in a large 5,000 square-foot space previously occupied by Furnish Me Vintage.
The space, which is across the street from Hawkers, will share outdoor seating with the neighboring Moxy Hotel.
Bosphorus' menu focuses on classic Turkish cuisine, featuring everything from kababs, baklava, hand-carved halal meats, pides (flatbreads), and more.
Founded in 2004, Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine's first location opened along Park Avenue in Winter Park. The company has since expanded with outposts in Winter Garden, Lake Nona Orlando and Dr. Phillips Orlando.
The restaurant also a new location planned for Tampa in June at 714 S Howard Ave., says St. Pete Rising.
