They recently…read moreadded steak to the menu, and in my opinion, it was exactly what this already great restaurant was missing. The steak is incredibly tender from the very first bite, with high-quality meat and excellent flavor. If you're in the Arlington area, I highly recommend giving it a try--you won't be disappointed! And, of course, I can't leave out the chicken. It's juicy, flavorful, and seasoned with a unique touch that, in my opinion, only Istanbul Grill can deliver. The atmosphere is another highlight. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a variety of drinks, while still feeling warm and welcoming if you're visiting with family and children. Overall, Istanbul Grill is a fantastic spot for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

On this last trip I took some friends visiting the area and to start the evening off with the Maya trio dip. I always get the partisan kozleme (absolutely delicious), and added hummus (very good), and baba ganoush (also good). We also tried a new appetizer, their fried brussel sprouts and loved it. I'll definitely have to get again. For my main dish I got the manti, which is one of favorite dishes there, and recommended my friend get the lahmcun, another favorite and one of his as well. To finish things off we got the knife, one of my favorite desserts anywhere. It was a wonderful evening and experience.

Not a fan of Greek mythic beer they had a new Lebanese Pilsner beer that was flavorful. Had Kataeffi Dessert and had the right amount of syrup. Orange flavor missing.

I came here with my fiance for dinner on a Friday night. The clientele was on the older side. Our meal started off with complimentary pita. It was not the most fresh, and it little served with a side of butter (which we found somewhat odd) so we were unsure of how the rest of the meal would be, but we were very pleasantly surprised. We got the appetizer sampler platter for 2 and their specialty, the Doner Kabab (which they only sell on certain days of the week). The appetizer sampler platter included a TON of food for the $25 price tag, and we were honestly full after just that, but the Doner Kabab that came out next was so good that we ended up eating all of it as well. Next time we come back we want to try their "desert sampler platter"!

Came back for lunch yesterday with a couple of friends. I had the Musakka a la Turk, one friend…read morehad the Vegetable Musakka and the other had the Turkish Omelet. The Musakka dishes are served with a side of rice pilaf and the Omelete with a side of fries. Bottom line - all three of us found the entrees to be bland. In fairness, I have only had Greek Musakka before, but I expected more seasoning and flavor, and my friend (the vegetarian) noted that they didn't get a hint of Bechamel - only mozzarella. I tend to agree the entree was heavy on the mozzarella and light on other flavors. We agreed that the rice was very good, both in texture and mild flavor. The french fries also were very good. The service here continues to be beyond excellent. Really good service. If I could give 3.5 as a score, I would, because the service was exceptional. But this is the second time I was here and both times found the entree to be bland. Maybe that's how Turkish food is - if so, please let me know, but I doubt it. The restaurant, which is very attractive and comfortable inside, has been around for 45 years and has an average Yelp score of 4.2. So obviously, a lot of people like it. I just call it like I see it.

Hidden down an alley in Georgetown, My Little Chamomile is the right restaurant for a Georgetown…read morecouple on a date, friends wanting an upscale night out, or a traveler at the Ritz Carlton coming for tasty dinner within walking distance. I was the latter, and wow this is now one of my favorite restaurants in Georgetown. Often I feel like the cuisine in Georgetown panders to the comfortable. It is speaking to parents of Georgetown students, think Filomena's or even Osteria Mozza (I know it's great), but so much of the food in Georgetown is hits that your parents would love. My Little Chamomile pushes you a little, with a unique wine list, select cocktails, and some extremely tasty dishes, we get to explore Turkish cuisine in a way that moves you beyond the every day. The labne and all appetizers served with fresh bread are just so good. You must get something creamy or cheesy, it just feels right. The lamb skewers were also oh sooo good, and the lavash was so flavorfull with the tomatoes. I was surprised and enjoyably so. Cocktails were great, and they have Raki which the bartender comped me, because we were having lovely conversation. Every single person I encountered working at the restaurant believed in the mission, the food, the space. It was stunning to see. There aren't many places better in Georgetown. You can argue the food is similar to Alara, but the vibes are not even close. This feels like a real human run restaurant. You've got to try it!

Our server recommended some good options for us and was very thorough in making sure there was no cross-contamination with my friend's allergens. TEKMIL FAVA - 14 Incredibly delicious dip that's incredibly dill-forward. The bread that came with it was just OK, but the citrusy and herb combination was addictive. We would definitely recommend it! ZEYTİNYAĞLI ENGİNAR - 24 Not the biggest artichoke fan, but my artichoke-loving friend really enjoyed this. It was soft with the perfect texture, but not my favorite. MERCIMEK ÇORBASI - 14 This red lentil soup had a runnier consistency which was perfect. It came out hot, and topped with buttery bread crumbs that was crunchy and tasty. I love soup and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good lentil soup. ÇÖP ŞIŞ - 23 The tomato paste/sauce was so fresh and sweet, topped with fresh herbs and lavash (type of flatbread) as the base. Definitely eat this as fresh as possible. Underneath the flatbread were five lamb skewers, which was smoky and flavorful. The combination of the savory lamb and fresh tomatoes was phenomenal. MANTI - 24 These are delicate and small beef dumplings mixed with a creamy yogurt sauce and spices. The dumpling skin was perfectly thin, and the beef was well-seasoned. The sauce was a bit much, but it complements the dumplings well in moderation. KEŞKÜL - 13 The almond pudding was addictive -- not too sweet and slightly nutty, making you want more and more of it. This was definitely our favorite dessert of the night and they were incredibly generous with the amount of almonds they give you! REVANI - 15 A bit dense, sweeter than I'd like -- this is a corn flour cake with some whipped cream and rhubarb jam on the side. Our server said this was one of the "less sweet" dessert options, so the ones we didn't order are probably a lot sweeter. Food was good, and we had a great experience! Nice ambiance, and they were quite packed on a Wednesday evening. They're also on inKind, so we were able to pay with the app and save on our meal.
