I'm a sophomore student in Boston, MA. I'm also a food lover. Some of my friends who live in Wellesley recommended me Cafe Mangal. I have recently visited that restaurant for lunch and loved it. I tried "Avocado Tuna" salad it was great. Best! So fresh, so tasty and well presented. Many choices on the menu. Then I understand better... More

Cafe Mangal is a quaint family run restaurant in Wellesley Center. Being family owned & operated the pride taken in food and service truly shines through. I've had the steak, seafood, chicken, lamb as well as several meze and they're all outstanding. My personal favorites being the Chicken Milanese and the Lahmacun, both of which I have cravings for on... More

Cafe Mangal is a dream place. We have recently dined there with our friends and loved it. Menu is mediterranean, very rich and sophisticated. I have found this restaurant through a dining guide rated them "extraordinary". They deserve it by all means. Food quality and presentation is superb. Very nice and cozy environment and extra clean. We tried their signature... More

Horriable worst wait staff, too expensive for no reason , will never go back , had a friend say he knew the owners , and went into the kitchen and it was nasty! Clean on the outside , filty on the inside . Never again

Mangal came highly recommended to me by a colleague when I had a last minute dinner with friends. I was very annoyed that they have their menu on their website - without prices. Between that and the Wellesley location - and the good reviews - I did know it was going to be pricey. So, no real shock there. We... More

Recently we had dinner at Cafe Mangal. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I had sirloin steak which was the best steak I have had all year. Generous portion and cooked perfectly. The only negative was that our chairs were uncomfortable. Service was excellent. We will be back.

My wife and I went here on a Thursday night in February. With our reservation, they had table waiting for us. Good start. It then took close to 30 minutes before could order anything, and that was after my wife stopped a waiter that was passing by to attend to a table behind us that had come 15 minutes after... More

I go to Cafe Mangal often for lunch.They serve generous portions of unusual salads. All are chopped to perfection and presented beautifully - it's their trademark. They also serve delicious sandwiches and home made soups. I like the soup and half sandwich combo which is served with a small salad. At lunch you place your order, pay at the register... More

We made a reservation for a table for 4 on a Saturday night after being told by numerous friends that we should try this restaurant. Table was ready, we were greeted promptly and everything was great from then on! Lovely ambiance. High quality Mediterranean dishes- we tried the duck, chicken and shish kebab after a shared meze plate and everything... More

I went with some friends who have been to Turkey within the past year. We had a variety of dishes (I used Yelp to help me pick). Good food. Service was good. Even dessert was great. (Turkish Baklava is very good! More honey than other types.) Highly recommend.
