    Lamb kebab
    Olga S.

    We were in town at the GREAT wolf lodge and came across this place in a google search. They've only been open a few weeks but you could never tell. It's a well run perfect preparation establishment. Lunch prices are very reasonable. Portion size is small enough to finish the entire meal. The shish kebab and baba ghanoush or both top notch. If we lived closer, I would be here all the time.

    This was our first time trying Turkish food so we didn't know what to expect. The service was excellent from the start and there was a relaxed atmosphere. My daughter and I both ordered Iced Turkish tea to start while my husband started with Diet Pepsi. Fresh bread and their special red sauce were delivered to the table while we waited for our meal, and wow, that was delicious! My husband ordered the Adana Kebab while my daughter ordered the Chicken Adana Kebab. Though it wasn't what they expected, it was good and had a great flavor. I ordered the Chicken Kebob and it was tender for the most part and flavored beautifully (çok gúzel). They rice and the salad that came with our meals were amazing! Great job to not only our waitress, but also to Istanbul! We highly recommend this restaurant and will be back.

    Terrific new restaurant in Mason, you should visit it soon. I had the Greek Salad with a Chicken Kabob added on top. Perfect.

    I just discovered a new gem in the area. They have outdoor seating and a full bar with a great selection of wines and beer. We ordered the lentil soup, which is by far the best I've ever consumed. They brought out a dip and bread, which was very tasty. It does have a slight spiciness to it, *chefs kiss* I ordered the chicken steak. It came with rice pilaf and a salad. Everything was cooked perfectly, and flavored extremely well. No complaints. I also had the Turkish tea, never a let down. For dessert we had the rice pudding, and we both agree, it's the best in Cincinnati! The wait staff is very pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend for any occasion, you won't be disappointed.

Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything was incredible and cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be coming back here again. Unfortunately, this time, we had no room for dessert, but maybe next time.

    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.

Was interested in having the Doner Kebab, but they did not have that available for lunch even though it is listed on the menu. Had the Adana kebab instead. It was tasty. The salad that came with it was interesting and then some plain rice. I thought it was good and would come back here again. Next time I hope they have the Doner Kebab available.

Looks to be a quick serve setup, where you order and pay at the counter and they deliver to your table. I saw a few people dining in. Nice and clean inside with simple and soothing decor. Got two gyros and an order of stuffed grape leaves to go. The gyros were absolutely enormous where you need a fork to eat at least half the meat before you could even think about holding it. Nice and fresh and very tasty, though I was expecting the meat to be much more thinly sliced, and it was a wee bit short on the Tzatziki. Note to self: order extra on the side. The grape leaves were perfect, lemony and refreshing with a nice slightly crisp bite to reveal the tender filling. Beautifully wrapped too so nothing spilled out. I called my order in. I noticed the website must be directly powered by a third party delivery system as it had inflated prices, even if you choose the pickup option. So pick up the phone and call if you want to pay the regular menu prices. The gentleman who took my order and waited on me was very polite and cheerful. I'll be back!
