We really enjoyed eating and spending some time here. The sandwiches and coffee were delicious with high quality ingredients. The staff was incredibly friendly and came to check on us a few times and asked a few questions. They even gave us a complimentary dessert to share!

Came for a weekday lunch for the first time, and the place was hopping! A small, cozy space, and you grab a table if you can, then order at the counter. The staff were super-helpful to our group of 3 to manage to put a couple of 2-spots together while we were in line for food. The menu was a little overwhelming, but I was looking for the Turkish specialties of the house. Decided on Turkish Lahmacun, Mangal Style (Thin wrap with ground beef & lamb with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices), lemon on the side to squeeze onto the lamb - fantastic! The side salad was hearty and tasty. We also got Turkish Borek (pastry layers filled with feta cheese and parsley), also delicious. The salad with prosciutto that our third party got was humongous! Staff was very friendly, even coming over to explain why they don't automatically put plastic silverware into the bag with the leftover salad . Can't wait to come back for more!

Our first time eating here on a recommendation and we were so glad we stopped in. The food choices are extensive from interesting salads and sandwiches to full dinner selections. We started with the feta Turkish Borek and side salad. We split the Turkish style stuffed peppers and the lamb shank, both were so flavorful and tender. Of course we had to try the walnut baklava which was oozing with honey as you cut into it, absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is charming and cozy. There is no alcohol served so bring your own. Mehmet, chef and owner stopped by our table and we chatted for a while and he introduced us to his co-owner Gul as well, such friendly people! My husband told him that his restaurant is the kind of place you want to hug everyone who made your meals. We'll be back very soon.

Food is always solid. Dinner menu is special...and the lunch menu is fine. I personally love their feta, tomato chicken dish (not sure the name) and their baklava is delicious.

Walking through the door of Cafe Mangal, I immediately said to my friend, "I already love it here." This feeling lasted the entire visit from the sensational menu offerings, the dining atmosphere, through interacting with the wonderful people who make Cafe Mangal the spectacular place that it is. It felt like I was on a vacation abroad to a wanderlust hidden gem. The food and drinks were an epicurean's delight adding to the uniqueness of this place. This experience has staid with me since dining there two weeks ago. I look forward to returning to Cafe Mangal again and again. Thank you!

Cute little place with self-seating. Menu is small (I only went for lunch, maybe dinner menu is bigger) but food is very delicious and on the healthy side.

Met a friend for lunch today. Food was great as always. My tuna nicoise was delicious. My friend ordered tuna and avocado on greens. We love this place. The vibe is always pleasant and the staff is wonderful.

Maybe the best tuna salad I’ve ever had. The atmosphere and service was so lovely, and the owner was extremely kind and welcoming.
