Best Turkish Restaurants in Fair Oaks

We went all in for the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing. It was excellent. Our waiter was charming and available. It is a loud, vibrant space. I wish it was a little less loud and a little more intimate but that is of course prefernce. The support staff is everywhere, dropping off and picking up plates, filling water, replenishing bread. Only once did they mistime pick-up to remove a plate before we were done. Particular favourites included the cretan dakos salad, hommus, garides saganaki, saffron pilaf, steak mishwi, and lemony potatoes. Tapas can be tough if you're not sure what to get. The tasting menu was great. After a full day of being very thoughtful and on our feet at a couple museums, we only had to be mindful when enjoying each plate, not choosing it.

absolutely amazing Mediterranean food with an authentic flare. The hummus is some of the best I’ve ever tasted even in my travels to Israel! . can’t recommend highly enough! 

Went to Istanbal Blue with two girlfriends for lunch - it was our first visit. It's a charming restaurant with a very nice vibe. I appreciated that they still use white tablecothes! The atmosphere felt a tad elevated but far from stuffy or fancy. The service was prompt and effecient, The food came quickly and was very good. My only minor complaint was that the music seemed too loud for the small space. I would have preferred that it be turned down as I found it distracting.

A nice local restaurant for a casual date night with my spouse. The service was very good and attentive. Food was tasty. My doner kabob had too much cooking oil on it but was still tasty.

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