A little loud, but we could still hear each other. The service was quick and peppy! We got an old fashioned, which was great. I got the half chicken with rice and a Greek salad. Wow. It was moist and flavorful and I loved the seasoning. The rice was amazing as well and the Greek salad was a huge portion and everything was fresh. R got the souvlaki plate with lamb. The lamb was cooked perfectly and tender. He also got the rice and the potato's. It came with a salad, which he didn't order, but they made it right immediately. The pitas were warm and the tzatziki was delicious. Overall, we have nothing but great things to say! We will be back soon and will add this place to our take out rotation. Excited to try more.

One of my friends recommended we try this place. I was having some terrible GI issues and was…read moreextremely limited on what kinds of food I could keep down. This place was everything I wanted and needed it to be. I kept it simple with just a chicken kebab over rice as a main and to start we split a pinto bean and tomato dish. I say I kept it simple with a kebab and rice, but the chicken was juicy and the rice was buttery and soft, with the right chew. Absolutely done right. Thank you!

The bartender was polite, our drinks were made quickly and we enjoyed them. Though there were 2 other parties at the bar eating full meals at right around 9, we opted not to order a second round of drinks because of the time. The bartender brought our check without asking if we wanted another round so it was pretty clear she wanted us gone. I went back last night to grab some food and another drink I had seen on the menu I liked the sound of. I was going to get a table but the bar wasn't busy, so I told hostess I'd sit at bar. I was sitting down as a bartender walked by. She never even looked at me, just walked to end of the bar and hung with a group of 4-5 people who were there. There was no eye contact, no hello, nothing. I had no desire to sit there after that, so I went to hostess said I had changed my mind and would like a table. Told her I could sit at a hightop in the bar as well. She said no, i'll get you a table. She led me to a table in the smaller room where there were no other people at all. A couple of tables away from me was a large table that looked like it sat either 6 or 8 people, that was totally a mess. I couldn't believe the table hadn't been cleared off and cleaned as soon as the guests had left. My table felt sticky too but I didn't see the others looked much better. Food-wise, the burger was cooked OK but as others said, it was nothing special. The french fries were like McDonalds, the thin kind. The waiter did as best he could, he was polite, but I think they may have been short-handed because I saw all different people delivering orders. It was very awkward being the ONLY person in a dining room instead of around other people. I couldn't wait to leave and when the waiter came to ask if I wanted dessert, I just asked him to bring the check. The drink I'd planned on getting was a dessert type martini and I had no interest in staying there to get it. I left him a decent tip because I felt he was trying, but overall, I felt somewhat discriminated against by where I was seated. My impression is that the staff for the most part, have no interest in being there. The restaurant now looks old and rundown, from when it first opened. I won't be going back.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Istanbul Diner Cafe! Every visit is an absolute pleasure,…read moreand a huge part of that is thanks to Richard. He's one of the most welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind employees I've ever encountered. Whether you're a regular or walking in for the first time, he makes you feel right at home and truly adds to the warm atmosphere of the restaurant. The food is unbelievable -- every single dish is bursting with flavor, and the meats are always cooked to perfection. Never overdone, never dry... just tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. Honestly, there are no bad choices on the menu. Every plate is consistently delicious, and you can tell how much care goes into each recipe. They also offer a great variety of drink options, from traditional Turkish beverages to your usual sodas, teas, bottled water, so there's something for everyone. The space itself is super accommodating. Whether you're stopping in for a quick solo lunch or coming with a big group, there's plenty of seating without ever feeling cramped. Very clean tables and seats. The music playing throughout the restaurant sets a nice vibe -- noticeable enough to add energy but never too loud or overbearing. I absolutely love coming here, whether it's for a quick bite during the day or a cozy dinner at night. Istanbul Cafe has truly become one of my go-to spots in Saugus, and I can't recommend it enough!
