    Falafel Sandwich
    Amanda C.

    I've only been here twice and have only done takeout of the falafel wrap... both times this sandwich has been IT. So good, nicely toasted wrap, and keeps you full for a while. About $12 for the goods. I need to come back and try MUCH more as the full menu looks great. But I can't help myself to get the same thing each time... will be back. So far, so great.

    vegan menu

    Everything homemade with the best ingredients, cold pressed juices and vegan selection with excellent service. Tried the wheat grass, wheat grass ginger, and tumeric shot with avocado toast and eggplant / Zaalouk. Had a bite of roasted cauliflower as well. All delicious and we will definitely be coming back.

    Falafel Sandwich by the water

    We stopped here based on Yelp reviews and we're not disappointed! My sis and I both got the falafel sandwich - baked falafel mixed in with veggies and tahini. The owner isn't super talkative, but was very pleasant and friendly. The sandwiches are really tasty and there were so many amazing looking options! I don't live very close, but would love to come back and try something else. I love the decor and ambience.

    This is the cute cafe that you think of when you want some place quaint in a small town with good, fresh food and pleasant service. Nearly everything can be made gluten free upon request and all items are freshly made to order. It's a great place for small meetups, too.

    The sandwiches and matcha here are so good. You can always count on fresh ingredients and nice customer service.

    Falafel Sandwich!
    Lisa H.

    Visited Leaf and Ginger for the first time this morning and had an excellent experience. The young man who took my other was lovely, very helpful and very patient with me. I ordered the falafel sandwich based on the yelp reviews and it was just as described, amazing. Will go back again and again because I think I need to try everything on the menu! Everything looks so great and I am so happy to have found this place!

    Artisanal Chocolate
    Dan W.

    Wow, this place is the real deal. Stopped in late afternoon on a Saturday. It's on the Main Street of Wakefield; I recommend parking on one of the side streets because it's tough to find a spot on the main road. We ordered a Caprese sandwich and falafel pita sandwich. Amazing. The Caprese was my favorite though, because of the great (seemingly homemade) bread, and the thick slices of mozzarella. I loved that all of the to-go packagings were compostable. They sell some tremendous artisanal chocolate at the register. Low on added sugar and sweetened with just a touch of honey. I highly recommend the spicy cayenne. The staff was very friendly; it seemed like a family-run business. Great to see that! Check it out, it's worth the drive, and you won't be disappointed.

    Zaalouk and Falafel Sandwich
    C S.

    Hm... have had some questionable meals here the last two times we got food from them. Inconsistent and weird. Zaalouk was stone cold (you could tell it was previously hot) and smelled not great, falafel sandwich was not tasty and even hot sauce didn't make it better. I also had the beet juice here a few visits ago and it was undrinkable with all of the ginger falling to the bottom and the temperature of the juice was lukewarm. I'll stick to the smoothies.

    Caprese Sandwich
    Nich W.

    I was excited to learn about a new healthy option in Wakefield, and it definitely did not disappoint. This place replaced the former Subway sandwich shop on Main St. I've stopped by three times so far and have tried a different smoothie each time that were all delicious: the Post Workout, Chocoholic, and Paradise--so far, I've liked the Paradise the best. I also ordered their caprese sandwich twice which was absolutely tasty and fresh. I look forward to visiting again to try more of their menu.

    So glad to see healthy, vegan and Mediterranean options in Wakefield. Brand new addition to town next to the Honeydew in the center. Hummus was among my favorites and can't wait to try the falafel and baba when she hasn't run out of them. Restaurant focused on providing healthy eating options.

Both my husband and I have been in the restaurant business, and we know the challenges of service, but this just seemed to be a lack of awareness. So, tonight I received a call from the restaurant- I couldn't take it so it went to voice mail. Fair is fair. It was an impressive call, and something rarely done these days. The person representing the restaurant, ( wasn't clear on his name, sorry) said they were very sorry about the experience. They take the reviews very seriously, they did speak to the server for improvement, and asked us to consider dining with them again. He said they would like to offer apps or a round of drinks if we came. The call was exactly the right thing to do, and as I said, very impressive. It deserves to be recognized. Just please don't take this as a reason to complain hoping to get something free, we certainly didn't. Just give them a try and form your own opinion. I will go back.

We knew that they were very good at handling large groups, and we were treated once again to excellent and attentive service by our server, Gabi, and the hostess, Mariana. We arrived at 6:00 PM and were given the time to linger, closing the restaurant at about 9:15. The entire evening was leisurely and allowed for conversation between courses, including a nice break for coffee and dessert. We enjoyed and shared a variety of the small plates (which are not at all small, in reality): Mussels, Calamari, Falafel a la Petros, Greek Fries, Greek Salad (Horiatiki), Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Baked Feta, and Taramosalata. Our party chose beers and also shared the Decoy Cabernet and the La Crema Chardonnay. The main courses were all very pleasing, and managed to satisfy the vegetarians and those who need to avoid gluten. Among us, with some sharing, we had the lamb shank, the mushroom pappardelle, the Moroccan crusted tuna, the blackened salmon, the gnocchi & burrata, the baked eggplant, and the roasted chicken. The service was excellent. Gabi was careful to allow everyone to finish each course before removing any plates, which really encouraged sharing and made us feel like family guests. One of my pet peeves at restaurants is when servers begin to clear plates and cutlery while others are still eating. We had eaten so well that we shared just 3 desserts with our espressos and Greek coffees: Molten Chocolate Cake, Galactobouriko, and Ekmek. We lingered over desserts and had great conversation, since we had guests from England and western Massachusetts and we really needed time to chat. At no point did Gabi or Mariana make is feel that we needed to leave. It was a great evening!

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!
