Istanbul blue is a beautiful local (vienna, va) restaurant that is always delicious either for lunch or dinner. eating is great and the service is top notch.

We had a nice meal at istanbul blue. the food was excellent, and the service was good. the only part was that it was a bit cool in the room.

I ordered spinach pastures. very tasty. simple parking space.

The food was excellent, especially the meat. desserts (milk pudding and rice pudding) were unforgettable. in any case they want to dinate here again soon!

The waiter was very nice, but there was a bit of a communication issue. Service was also very slow. The lighting is way too bright. Felt like you were eating in...

Istanbul Blue offers a charming blend of authentic Turkish cuisine and cozy decor, drawing guests in with its inviting atmosphere. While some diners rave about the delicious offerings, such as tender doner and flavorful appetizers like lahmacun and moussaka, others have faced frustrating service and dish unavailability. Although many patrons appreciate the attentive service and quality food, inconsistencies have emerged, particularly regarding wait times and meal accuracy. With its potential for greatness, this neighborhood gem invites you to explore its culinary delights, yet a return visit may require patience amid the bustling dining scene.

We received courteous and professional service, and enjoyed the food. I recommend the Adana Kebab as an entree.

The sausage pide was very good. The stuffed grape leaves were the best that I have ever tasted.

The kabob was fantastic. I had to request rice because the staff mistakenly believed that gluten-free meant no rice.

The food was not good at all - too salty, dry, and overall lacking in flavor. The rice was also excessively oily.

Very rude staff. Tried to up charge us and then hung up on us when we called back for clarification. Overpriced for quality provided.
