It's funny how from the outside you wouldn't think much of a restaurant with a plain text sign that says "Istanbul Grill". But it caught my partner's eye since Turkish food isn't a very common cuisine.We came here to celebrate my grandfather's 100th birthday and he wanted to treat 30 of his family members out to dinner. The restaurant graciously provided us 3 long tables for our reservation. The interior is very Turkish. Beautiful artistic taste with the evil eye decor and colorful handmade lighting fixtures. The service was unmatched. If you finished your water, right away someone came over to refill. I swear this was the most hydrated I've ever been at a restaurant. The food was PHENOMENAL. Everyone ordered something different, but we shared a mixed cold appetizer platter and a mixed hot appetizer platter. They even served the table warm pita bread. The cold appetizer was a really nice mix and the flavors all blended so nicely together. The most memorable hot appetizer I was able to get my hands on was the zucchini cake - YUM!Since I was with a large hungry group, I knew to order a few things on my own. I got a red lentil soup which warmed my soul. I could order seconds or thirds. For entree, I got a lamb chop which truly tasted fresh off a grill. My partner got a gyro plate. The meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned. Some family members enjoyed a Turkish coffee and Turkish tea - they loved it. The restaurant even provided a baklava dessert platter with a candle for all of us to sing Happy Birthday to him. Wonderful staff, wonderful food, memorable experience. Highly recommend Istanbul Grill.

Huge portions of delicious food. I come regularly with my family and always get the lunch special, including a drink, appetizer, and entree for $14.95 total. I always get water, hummus, and gyro. Love this restaurant!

We have been to this place in the past. Most recently, we went for lunch. They have a wonderful lunch special. It comes with an appetizer, an entree, and a drink. We started with Babaganoush and Hummus. It had slightly different taste than some of the Lebanese places in town. It was delicious. We then had the Turkish Meatballs and Beef Kabob.The service was prompt even though they were busy. The atmosphere was a little more upscale than fast casual. The food was delicious. Try the lunch special if you want to dip your feet in before jumping in. We will come back again.

We like to stop here when we can for lunch since it's not too far from the office. The lunch special comes with an appetizer and an entree as well as a drink. I wanted to try the coffee and it wasn't part of the special but I'm glad i decided to get it. The coffee was similar to an espresso shot and It had great flavor. I started w the lentil soup this time and it was very good. My entree was chicken delight and it was a large portion that came w rice. I could have shared it based on portion size. The restaurant is super clean as well as the bathrooms and the service is always good. Will be back for lunch soon.

Istanbul is simply one of the best places for great Mediterranean food in Arlington. It's a classy sit down restaurant that's big on service and great food. Extensive menu with all the traditional favorites. The salmon kabob is out of this world! We always finish with Turkish coffee and desert.

The food amazing as was the service. I was alone and felt a little under dressed. I would recommend it as a date night visit. I was the only single in the place! lol but hey I still enjoyed it and will go back. It's BYOB. So bring a bottle of your favorite wine.
