Gyro salad with some fresh mint tea

First time and I loved it. From the scenery to the food was amazing relaxing vibes. I will be returning.

8 Homemade Grape Leaves Hummus

Good service and easy phone call to place my order. Loved the interior of the restaurant and loved the food even more when we returned home. I really loved the falafel and hummus but everything else was good, too. I tried a similar meal in Clifton and enjoyed this more. We just didn't receive our baklava :/

Gyro
Amy D.

I was invited to eat here for lunch on a Monday with friends who have been before. I never would have known about it otherwise. Oh my gosh, I was so impressed with everything. The decor is just lovely with the blue swirly floor, to the live plants everywhere, to the repurposed screen door hanging from the ceiling. The service was so warm and personal. They didn't seem to mind that we sat there for two hours talking. I don't throw 5 stars at a place lightly, especially for lunch. But this food was authentic and fantastic! I have never tasted falafel that was so perfectly fried and the spices were as important to the dish as the chickpeas. The hummus was so creamy with a good amount of seasoning and a lovely olive oil. The grape leaves were a little boring, but I haven't had them but one other time in my life, so maybe that is the way they are supposed to be. The gyro was indeed messy to eat, but the meat was SO tender and perfectly spiced. Their tzatziki sauce is great and they put plenty on the gyro so it is not dry. Fries are spot on. Pita is perfect. The Beef Shawarma platter is huge and everything blended perfectly. My friend really like his chicken shawarma sandwich. This family obviously knows their stuff. This place is a step above the other Mediterranean restaurants in our area. Highly recommend.

Chicken Kabob
Moses D.

Without exaggeration, one of the best meals I've ever had. I had the Chicken Kabob Platter. Cooked to perfection. Great ambiance. Clean. Attentive employees. If it weren't poss9ble I'd score them higher than a 5. Authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.

Used them to cater my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party. Everyone loved the food! My favorite was the kibbeh- melt in your mouth good! Highly recommend for your next gathering!

We ordered carryout, and it was ready as quoted. The food was delicious and traveled well. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has great decor. 1. Wings - these were prepared well, with great texture and crisp, and the seasonings were on point. (5/5 ) 2. Hummus - prepared well and the spices added to the flavors. (5/5 ) 3. Gyro - be prepared for a lot of food! The meat was falling off the pita, but great flavors and a little messy. (5/5 ) 4. Chicken Shawarma platter - the chicken was and the accompanying sides paired nicely. (5/5 ) Overall, great food and friendly service. We will be adding it to our restaurant rotation.

What a amazing place to eat! Very Fresh - Healthy- Vibrant Food. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The Restaurant is bright & clean. Plenty of parking.

Chicken Kabob
Dantez N.

I'll save you some time - definitely worth the trip! Visited this unique middle eastern restaurant Christmas Eve and was blown away by the fresh ingredients and flavorful food! There was no wait luckily and we were told we could pick anywhere to sit which was refreshing. The ambiance wasn't anything spectacular but the food was delicious! My partner and I both got the chicken kabob meal - which comes with a salad and rice. The kabob and rice were hot and tasty, and the salad was exceptionally fresh! To top it all off the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be returning.

Inside

This place is amazing! The moment we walked in the beautiful lady working the counter made us feel so welcomed! She was so helpful and joyful! This place is a small family owned business with exceptional customer service and awesome food! We ordered: a Gyro Combo, Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Combo, and Chicken Tenders Combo, and Hummus. All the combos came with French Fries and your choice of a fountain drink or a drink from the refrigerator. Everything was absolutely delicious, moist, and fresh! The atmosphere is welcoming. The place is clean with lots of lighting. The decor is beautiful and authentic and the music was authentic and really added to the experience. They have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as take out available. I highly recommend this place! We will be back and tells others about it.

Part of their menu!

Getting to Sultans is a bit of a trek but well worth it. I have enjoyed everything i have had, from…read moreappetizers (cacik, stuffed grape leaves, and baba ghanoush), entrees (chicken kebab, doner kebab, kofte, baked eggplant, and Ali Nazik) to desserts (both rice and almond puddings and baklava). The meats have been tender, juicy, and flavor packed. A friend who is a regular highlty recommends the Red Lentil Soup, which I hope to try on my next visit. I would recommend the Family Special for individuals visiting for the first time and wanting to sample a number of dishes.

If we're talking food, Sultans absolutely delivers. The flavors were packed, the chicken was…read moretender, juicy, and full of that grilled goodness, and every bite reminded me why Mediterranean food is elite. The entrée salad was simple but perfect -- finely chopped lettuce with a light vinaigrette that tasted fresh and clean. Even the rice was cooked perfectly with just the right seasoning to hit the palate. The cabbage rolls were a standout -- soft, flavorful, and held together beautifully without falling apart. Truly, the kitchen knows what they're doing. Food is a solid 5/5. Now... the vibes. This is where things took a turn. When you walk in, the atmosphere just doesn't feel welcoming. The server didn't offer suggestions -- even after we mentioned it was our first visit -- which was disappointing but not a dealbreaker since we still managed to pick great dishes. The dining room was so quiet you could hear other tables cutting their food, and the music kept cutting in and out, which made things feel even more awkward. The staff wasn't rude, but the energy just wasn't there. Service is a generous 1/5. Would I recommend Sultans? For the flavor -- absolutely. Would I dine in again? Probably not, at least not until the atmosphere matches the quality of the food. So overall, I'm giving this place a 3.5 out of 5, and that score is solely carried by the incredible food, not the dine‑in experience. In the meantime due to the vibes I got we will be looking for somewhere different unfortunately. Skip the coffee you will see in the pictures on my black coffee.
