"Located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking nearby. Nice and Cozy inside. They have all these chandeliers from Turkey which adds to the atmosphere. The restaurant is an open model with a few booths on either side. Pros : Fresh and Tasty food. We tried lava, hummus, shish, adana chicken platter, and the teapot. The taste of the food was fresh. Kanufa and baklava was fresh and tasty as well. Cons : We ordered Tea but weren't given We finished all the good food. Lava bread was delivered late too. Maybe an oversight from staff but the Taste of the food made up for it.

"It was a warm summer night. We were in the mood for some Turkish food. In came Bosphorus, a Cary gem. This place offers authentic Turkish cuisine. The meat on the kabobs is very juicy, we had the platter which included everything from lamb to beef to chicken and even gyro meat. The baklava is also very delicious. I highly recommend this place."

"Only my second time here, but they made my sub wrong. I asked for no mushrooms, but the sub was FILLED with mushrooms. Luckily, it's a preference (and not an allergy), so I was able to pick them out. Also, not all of the fries were fresh. There were old fries mixed in with new. Haven't had my cookie yet... hopefully it's as good as they advertise. Not sure if I'll be going back, given the price I paid.

"I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation. At first, I wasn't very impressed, but once the aroma of the food being cooked wafted through the air, we decided to stay and give it a shot. Everything we tried was delicious, and I suspect the whole operation is run by just one man and his wife, as you can see into the kitchen and he seems to do all the cooking himself. The service was surprisingly quick, especially considering the limited staff. However, I noticed that neither the staff nor the cooks were wearing masks despite the existing mask mandate. Additionally, I really wished they had some bread to soak up the sauce, but the only bread option was a focaccia with olive tapenade, which we couldn't order due to the olives."

"I love to support local caffes and hopefully find new ones to add my favorite list. we live in durham and have a full of excellent coffee shops with locally roasted beans. when we found ourselves shopping in Morrisville/Cary furniture yesterday, I searched google and found meeple’s close by with excellent reviews. I didn't know this was the board game coffee shop I heard from until I got in. I think that explains the high ratings and popularity, not necessarily the coffee. I admit, the board game spectacle is pretty cool. the reason I give this 2 stars is because 1 the coffee is waaaaay more expensive than any other coffee shop in the triangle; 2 the espresso roast is a bit burned tasting like dieucks, but not terrible; and 3 the service is incredibly slow. I ordered an ice-cold latte with milk. this drink cost me $7 before the drink. for a 16 ounce drink! at the day before I had $6 for the best tasting hafermilch mocha I had in a local coffee shop and it was a 24 oz drink (new world caffe in raleigh.) so the quality doesn’t add to the extravagant cost of espresso drinks at meeple’s when compared to the dozens of other local coffee shops we have visited the these are airport prices! the drink was decent, not the best lavendel latte I had (cloche coffee in durham deserved this title in front of location, the well coffee shop in boston deserves the highest honor), so I admit it for the greatest part, but it was not worth the price tag. the brat wasn't my favorite. it had a bit of a burning taste like dieucks is famous. because I had a lavender latte, it was more subtle, but I could still say that it was roasted in the aftertaste. my man tasted it and was not a fan of espressos, although his favorite drink is a lavender. he only took one and said that was enough. Maybe we're just coffee-snobs, because we're the type that pays $25/lb for 100% cona coffee beans and they're regularly sent to us. I expect the price to be the same as the quality. the service was also very slow. it took 10 minutes to go my icy latte. during this time the girl made only 1 latte and a cup of tea for a few dining rooms. other coffee shops would have scrubbed 10 cups in the same time. the place was busy playing with people games, but don't order coffee drinks. only 2 other customers came in the 10 minutes I waited, and they got their coffee pretty fast as they were cold roast coffees that did not need the espresso machine. so it was not as if they were so busy or with orders secured. there was literally only one in front of me to make one of these objects only a cup of tea that does not require much effort. they had 3 employees, but apparently only this one girl could drink an espresso while the others were busy. the concept is unique and interesting, but I will not return. the price marking did not justify the quality or the lack of this of the small one. I think what they really pay is the experience, not the product."
