I would have given 5 stars if not for the table of loud owners children and being seated beside a curtain that blocked off the dish washing area from the restaurant. The food was wonderful!' Our server was very nice. When we came in were asked if we had reservations We said no and were taken to the back where... More

Great service, great food. We were there for lunch, the food was excellent, a great flavor treat. We will go again. While we were there three returning customers came in bringing friends in for the first time, says a lot for a place. If we lived in the area we would return again and again.

We come here as often as we can. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. You can tell the owners really care about their diners. Definitely try the beef shish kabobs. The meat is flavorful and tender. The hunkar begendi, lamb on pureed eggplant is also worth a try. If this restaurant was near our house, we'd eat... More

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we were in for a treat. Greeted with a genuine smile and welcomed in a kind friendly manner to decor and ambiance ( Proper music) that fits the fine cuisine and finely prepared food by chefs who obviously care. We shared the Dolma, grape leaves , rice, seasoned well as... More

Recently, my son and daughter-in-law came to visit from New York City. My daughter-in-law is of Greek descent and has traveled to Turkey. She loves Mediterranean food so we set out to find a restaurant in Arlington, Texas. On Tripadvisor, we discovered the Istanbul Grill which stays open until 10:00 p.m. on weeknights. Our kids were set to arrive DFW... More

The food was very delicious and the staff make you feel as a regular evan on your first visit. This will be on my list of favorites, and the portions were very large.

The food was great, service attentive, and the belly dancer was fun and personable. We celebrated a birthday here on a Saturday night. The place is crowded. And it is easy to see why. This is a relatively small restaurant in a small strip center --- and it was packed. Once inside, the atmosphere is relatively formal with white table... More

The food and atmosphere reminded me of my trips to Turkey and Greece! Absolutely delicious, great service, nice atmosphere. The chicken gyro Mediterranean salad was excellent on my latest visit. Highly recommend!

Arlington has every chain restaurant in the US. None of these cookie cutter joints are to our taste. While searching for something different we stumbled on Istanbul Grill. What a find. White starched linens and the best Turkish/Mediterranean food ever. We stopped for lunch and ate for the same amount of money we would spend up the street at a... More
