Kitchen Istanbul is a hidden gem in Richmond, offering a fantastic dining experience with a recently updated menu. The extensive wine list, curated by a knowledgeable sommelier, complements the delicious food, including must-try dishes like muhammara, lamb chops, and beef/lamb kabob. Customers find the wine list to be encyclopedic, providing good value for glasses or bottles. The attentive service and friendly staff make it a highly recommended spot, with the team working seamlessly to ensure a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant features a clean, modern interior with well-curated tableware, and the small plates and mains are superbly prepared, showcasing honestly presented, delicious cuisine from Türkiye.
Customers praise the fantastic food, spectacular wine, and attentive service. They highlight the perfectly seasoned and balanced dishes, particularly enjoying the dips, borek, heirloom tomato salad, moussaka, and Adana Kebap. The hummus and eggplant dish are also noted for their amazing flavors. Although some mention that the sound level can be high, the service remains calm, helpful, and friendly. The owners are recognized as dining anchors, maintaining high quality year after year. Kitchen Istanbul continues to be a go-to local restaurant, with customers eagerly returning for more, even coming from other areas.
