Turkish Restaurants near Salem, MA

“Absolutely incredible food and great chefs! There were 9 of us that all ordered different things and we all raved and wanted to share with each other, but our portions were all so filling. Wish we weren’t traveling because I’d want this place in my neighborhood!“

“I’ve been driving by this place for months and finally stopped in this evening. Should have gone earlier!

I tried the iskender kabob plate. I’ve never had that dish before so I have no baseline, but it was tender meat in a delicious sauce served over bread cubes that soaked up all of the goodness — all with a side of yogurt. Amazing dish, I will return for more. Portion size was huge too. Tried the baklava for dessert, also excellent. Bonus, the person working behind the counter was super nice.

Will definitely head back to try many more things here.“

“If you are looking for authentic Turkish food north of Boston, look no further than family-run Istanbul Diner Cafe in Saugus (or their original location in Revere)! Pics are from my fourth visit to the newish Saugus branch, a fantastic Adana kebap, with a homemade rice pudding for dessert, on a blustery Saturday. A meal here will transport you to Türkiye for the moment!“
