Best Turkish Restaurants in Wheaton

My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

Wow, where do I begin? From the time my husband and I walked in, to the time we walked out, the experience was “chefs kiss”. The staff, the beautiful decor, the music, the food, the dessert was amazing! This is our new hidden gem! We will definitely be back this weekend to watch the belly dancers! Oh and our waiter gifted me with a beautiful belly dancing scarf for my waist!! What an experience! Oh, last but not least… THE ROBOT delivers your food!! I’m speechless…. 10/10

Ottoman Taverna in Washington, D.C., provided a memorable experience for my mom and me on Christmas Eve. We were treated to a wonderful prix fixe menu that perfectly captured the flavors and richness of Turkish cuisine. As someone who had never tried Turkish food before, my mom was pleasantly surprised by the variety and authenticity of the dishes. From savory appetizers to tender kebabs, each course was a delight. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a special holiday meal. The service was attentive, and overall, it was a fantastic introduction to Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended!

Our server Omar made our night! Very courteous and cheerful! Delicious food —offering a tongue and such utensils could make it easier to manage the table.

One of our favorite places to eat when in DC! Great food and super friendly and attentive staff.
