I was incredibly disappointed by the value at Istanbul Grill. For two adults, our bill came to $120. They added a mandatory $19 'service charge,' yet the receipt still prompted for an additional tip—a very frustrating and misleading practice. When you consider that many nearby restaurants offer high-quality buffets for $27–$29, the pricing here feels completely unjustified. The food was okay, but certainly not worth the premium price tag or the sneaky fees. Save your money and go elsewhere in Arlington.
