Right off the bat, stepping in felt super nostalgic with the smells and vibe of the place (like grandma's house). The Koobideh was one of the best I have had ever (including CA restaurants). The texture was great, it had the perfect uniform chunks, it wasn't super spiced or burnt, just fab. I also normally don't order stews but the gheyme was also really good as well as the shallot yogurt. The lady who served us (perhaps also owner?) was the SWEETEST. She took the time to stop by every table several times and really get to know the customers. Also brought out some tea for us on the house for Nowruz, which was incredibly kind. I wish I'd found this place sooner, it really felt like home.

I heard a lot of good things about Kennedy's fried chicken on Chestnut Street, I was coming home and there was a parking spot open so stopped in. I only wanted two pieces of chicken one thing I've noticed about Spanish people, they want everyone to try their rice, so the owner tossed in a container of rice for me to try, he said you'll love it. I just had the best piece of fried chicken I've had in 30 years, I ate that shit down to the bones, the skin was nice and crispy, the chicken was moist and juicy, the rice was good traditional rice I will definitely be going there more often it's less than a half mile from my house

I'm like OK just had a bad day no problem. When the food came out I just simply asked in a kind way if they have any hot sauce. Instead of just politely saying that they do but it cost, he very visibly annoyed said "it doesn't come with it .. I'll bring it". I was like okeeey what's the matter with this guys and when he does show up with the sauce even more visibly annoyed said it costs but he'll give it to me. But literally in every aspect it was really annoyed said. I refused to take it and paid for it of course. Why couldn't he just like a normal polite person said it's not included and there's a charge? Why make this experience so bad and be so rude and visibly annoyed? I don't need a smile just BASIC courtesy and not making me feel bad for just asking few basic questions for gods sake! I don't need this horrible service for over priced food!

She gave me garlic sauce and hot sauce both of which were great but the food didn't even need it!! The Iskander platter was so good, thinly sliced meat on a bed of croutons with a tomato sauce and cool creamy yogurt sauce beside it. Next time I'll probably only get they - but only because the soup and grape leaves just made it too much food!! She tried to get me to get rice pudding too but I had nowhere to put it.

They do serve a menu with schwarma and hummus, and a few other things. Coffee menu is limited to authentic coffee, so no sugary junk. I love this for a quick stop!

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!

I used my handy-dandy Yelp Boston app and landed on Nour cafe! I saw that they had #shawarma and that it was some of the best in the area, so here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is literally a gas station, but there's nothing wrong with that. You pull up to the Shell, get some gas or park at a pump that's out of order or one of the available parking spots off to the right, but this place isn't really designed for you to dine in. Lol. Yes, you can sit in and eat off to the left side, but they really want you to leave. Once inside you make a right and above the drink coolers are a series of TVs that show you the menu. Continue to your right and you'll see the kitchen where all of the magic happens. Simple setup here. Service: There isn't any. You walk up to the counter, order your food, pay for it where you'd normally pay for gas then wait for them to call your name. My food was ready in 10 minutes. Food: I went with the mixed grill plate because I just FELT IN MY SOUL that I'd get a WHOLE LOT of food. Boy was I right! Lol. So the mixed grill plate comes with chicken shawarma, steak shawarma, ground lamb kabob, rice, a big pita, pickled vegetables, a slaw, a grilled onion mixture and hummus. Wow. Everything was SO good, SO seasoned and SO filling. I literally could eat on this for 2 and maybe 3 meals! I broke the pita into 4 smaller pieces and then made mini shawarmas with different meats in them! Lol. It was a bit messy, but you can totally eat this with a fork and knife without a problem. The food was excellent. Value: $16.99 is what I paid and when I got to my hotel then opened the lid to see all of that food I was just so blown away. How did they make any money by giving me all of this?! Lol. Astounded. Everything on the menu is cheap and there were many things under $10.00. In conclusion, I'd definitely pull up and get this exact same meal again! I went with the mixed grill to experience the different meats this place had to offer. I loved eating from here.

I know, I should have caught on, it is in the name after all (: I definitely needed the ranch and Dave's sauce to help cool down the medium level slider and the spicy bbq nuggets. Not gonna lie, my favorite part of the meal was the Mac n cheese. It was so creamy. Hear me out, a bowl of Mac n cheese with chicken on top, as an entree. I'm here for it.
