Jumping Juniper! Sound the Horns! You have got to put a pin on your map to come here. My wife and I drove out to Vienna, Virginia, to eat at this special place. We have a desire for something Mediterranean, something special for our platter today. Then there it was, Istanbul Blue! We walked inside, and our jaws dropped. We were alone and were greeted with a Smile ! We had the restaurant to ourselves, yippee! How sweet and soooo romantic it was to find this hidden jewel. Check out the pictures for yourselves. This is a beautiful place that had all kinds of desirable dishes. Check out our pictures. Go by and tell them Harold and Vivian sent you. Our meals were served hot, and the cook who had been cooking for over 40 years ensured our meats were tender and tasty. You gotta go by. They take reservations, which I suggest making to ensure your seats are available during high occasions. We will be returning for sure. Save a seat for us! Don’t forget to tip because the service is GREAT! Well, I got to run, give me a like, and follow. Remember, life is short, so don’t pass this opportunity by. Give someone close to you a hug and let them know you love them . It will go a long way. Stay cool, and know that I appreciate you taking the time to read my review. Ciao!

Me and my husband went to this restaurant to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I’m from Turkey and he’s American and we met in Ankara (the capital of Turkey) and dated 4 yrs there and had tons of memories before we got married, so we purely wanted to vivify our first memories by eating some real Turkish food on our first anniversary and it’s really worth it bcs there’s def no difference than Turkey at all. So I truly assure you that if you’d like to try some real Turkish food or miss your homeland you must try this place. I ate much more than my capacity. :,) Thanks a bunch to the chefs and all the staff.

Absolutely wonderful place. The service was great and the food will keep you coming back for more. Chef Ismet Gezgec is a true master at his craft. Hands down the best hummus I have ever tried. Mixed grille was outstanding, the lentil soup, I could go on and on…

I ordered spinach pide. It was very delicious. The restaurant is very clean. There are more tables on the second floor. A little hard to find the parking space during the lunch time.

The food was excellent. Everything was fresh, delicious, and came out hot and fresh. We had steak, lamb, donner, and chicken and it was all cooked perfectly. I think it was also a very reasonably priced meal, especially considering how much meat came with each platter. Our waitress was also very pleasant.

This place has a lot of potential but my overall experience fell a bit short. The decor inside is ok, I think it could use a little upgrade. We had a large group and the service was painfully slow. Our waiter was nice enough but we waited a while before our order was taken. There was a waitress or hostess who stood upstairs staring us down the whole time we were there, it was a little weird and uncomfortable. She literally did not move from her spot for over an hour other than to occasionally serve water.

We were in the mood to try something different. I have only had Turkish food a several times. We decided to give Instanbul Blue visit. This place has received quite few good reviews on yelp. It is a small resturant in a stripmall. The resturant is small and cozy. There were not a lot of customers there when we arrived. We sat at the front by the window against the wall. Very cozy and quiet. The resturant is very nice and clean. I will say the waiter was there when we needed him to be. He let us have space and time to enjoy the meal.
