Bayshore Mediterranean Grill

The food was amazing!!! It was my first time at an authentic Mediterranean restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had the best lamb chops of my life lol. We were immediately greeted coming through the door and our waitress was a true gem. Understandably, there was a bit of a crowd, but we were seated immediately and serviced quickly. We'll definitely be back.

My husband and I went for first time and visited this place. It took us 30 minutes to drive to Bayshore. But we were happy and satisfied. The food was absolutely amazing, Staff were very friendly, specially Rania. She so sweet ,patience and super knowledgeable of the menu . Thank you so much Rania. Definitely we would come back again soon.

Mixed grill & mixed cold appetizer were the best to experience pretty much everything this place has to offer. Best Turkish restaurant. A bit more of a drive because it’s in the southern corner of Tampa, so not sure if I’ll frequent, but if I crave the best Turkish flavors, I’ll come down here. Galatea’s restaurant / grocery (formerly Onur’s) in temple terrace is a fantastic centrally located alternative.

What a great local find!! Their food is fresh, tasty, and presented beautifully on the plate. We ordered the combination kebabs and it had a pretty good portion of food on the plate. I enjoyed every bit of my dish. The side of pickled red cabbage was nice, the chicken was tender, and the lamb was seasoned well. The staff was attentive and friendly. I will definitely come back to try some more food.

This place had the BEST food EVER!! The baked hummus... Oh. My God. Amazing! Even if you don't like hummus, you should try it. It is like a cheese dip almost. We also had the falafels, which I don't normally like, but they were amazing. I had the lamb chops... mouth watering. Then we had the baklava, which I also dont normally like, and it was delicious. They were extremely busy while we were there, but our drinks were always filled. The service was great. I can't recommend this place enough. It definitely is expensive, but it is so worth it. The portions are huge. Will definitely be back!

Just left this amazing place, is truly a gem!! We started with the Oven Baked Hummus as an appetizer and OMG it was so delicious and that lavash bread was amazing !!! For entrees I had the Chicken Shish and my husband had the Lamb Shish, both plates were very tasty, those flavors were on point 👌🏻 We couldn’t had dessert because we were so full but we will definitely come back again. Also, the service was A+ !! Everyone was so kind and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant if you like Mediterranean cuisine ❤️

Really cool Turkish restaurant waaaaayyyy off the beaten path. I’ve explored many corners of Tampa yet never been in this area. I’m glad I did. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was really authentic. Lots of unique dishes and exotic flavors. Had fun with the multiple types of rice, lamb, chicken, and desserts! Good food, fantastic spot!

We haven't even left the restaurant yet, this place is amazing. The meals were amazing, and having vegetarian options that were also flavorful without relying on being spicy was such a great change of pace. We tried three different deserts and each one was SO GOOD. The baklava was to die for, we're honestly ready for a food coma now. 😅 The staff was fantastic, and so great. We even lost one of our wedding rings (our own fault) and the staff went above and beyond to help us find it. So many wonderful people, this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We will definitely come back the next time we're in Tampa!
