istanbul grill - great food and fun for the family. we tried istanbul grill last friday based on their urban spoon rating and we were so glad we stopped in. a small family restaurant with a good crowd at 7 on a friday night. the owners gave us great pointers on the menu, especially for kids at 15,12, and 10! my picky eaters loved it. we started with the hummus (best in arlington!) and then the 5 of us shared the mixed grill, iskender, and the moussakka. the moussakka is so far probably the best dish i've tasted this year in my travels around the us. think turkish lasagna but with eggplant, zucchini, beef, and potatoes. getting hungry thinking about it!
if you want to try something new, in a fun and new then please give this a try. did i mention the belly dancer that started about midway through dinner?! the kids loved that.
