Fantastic food and friendly service. I’ve loved everything I’ve ordered here, but the Doener wrap is particularly tasty. The Turkish coffee is also wonderful. Be prepared to wait a little bit (it’s worth it) because they make so many things here fresh!

Got take out for a family Sunday dinner. Food isn’t cheap, but it’s homemade, tasty food. We got the hummus, falafel, chicken kabob, and the mixed meat platter. Every dish was amazing. If I had to offer the slightest criticism, the falafel is good not great. My definition of great falafel is Falafel Inc in Tyson’s corner mall.

“Absolutely loved the Taste of Istanbul in Reston, VA! The food was incredibly delicious and packed with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Turkey. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were attentive and helpful in recommending dishes. The ambiance was delightful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A must-visit spot for anyone craving a taste of Turkish cuisine! #TasteOfIstanbul #RestonVA #TurkishCuisine #DeliciousEats #FiveStarExperience”

We ordered lunch and enjoyed both the grilled salmon & chicken kebab entrees. The rice served had a nice texture and was flavorful along with the sauces & salad provided. This place has outdoor seating, which helps, when there are easily bored kids with you. It’s not a fast food place, so kindly expect reasonable wait time for your orders to be served. Our dessert pudding was tad too thick. Overall a great experience and would certainly be trying out other dishes in the future.

Visited Taste of Istanbul yesterday (8/30/2023) with my family and from the oldest to the smallest of the 5 of us enjoyed absolutely everything. We were greeted by one of the guys(shame on me that I didn’t asked for their names) and right after he moved some tables just to accommodate all of us in one table. Then, he came back to us wiped the tables and gave us the menu and let us know how their system works. Simple and easy, we saw what we wanted then we went inside place the order and when it was ready they brought it out to us. Food tasted amazing I left my plate clean the same as the rest of my family. It did bring memories from when I visited Turkey . 100% recommended this place.

We ate Doner wrap and Lahmacun here on a easy Sunday noon. Both were very delicious but not the way we used to eat back in Turkey.
