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.

Lentils...so far the most decent Mediterranean/Lebanese food this area has to offer, but isn't what…read moreI expect. A friend of a friend recommended this place to me, and upon driving up, I was hoping it was a diamond in the rough/hole in the wall type place...but it's not. Ordered the fattoush with chicken, and water. The chicken was said to be shawarma. 1. Salad good, pita chips excellent, but missing lemon in dressing 2. Chicken decent, but needed more spices, and wasn't prepared/cooked the way I expect for shawarma 3. You are not saving money ordering water - they give you a bottle. Also, pricy! Their site reflects differently than what it was in person, and makes Lentils look far more awesome than it was. With smeared/dirty windows, decor that wasn't purposely mismatched - I almost didn't go in, and wanted to leave ASAP. I was also only 1 of 2 tables that dined in...would you want to dine in, based on the above? Overall, sadly, Lentils is the best Mediterranean thus far in the greater Cincinnati area, and it's OK at best. It's not good enough to fend off any Lebanese food cravings I may have.

All together, a pleasant experience that made us all feel treated!!

I stopped here for lunch because I was hungry for a nice gyro sandwich. Although they had a pretty…read moreextensive menu they didn't offer a traditional gyro wrapped in a pita. Instead I ordered a gyro meat wrap which came with fries and a small amount of hummus plus some Tzatziki on the side ($15.98). The wrap turned out to be a flour tortilla-like wrapper filled with gyro meat and grilled vegetables that was sliced up into several segments. It was a mess to eat because the cut segments dripped all over my hands when I tried to eat them so I took the wrap apart and ate the contents with a knife and fork. I'll never order that again! No alcohol. Free parking in the strip mall lot where they are located. Based on my experience, I could only give them 2 stars. I thought their prices were on the high side as well because Tikka Grill down the road on Cin-Day gives you a nice gyro on a pita for a lot less.

We needed something good but not too heavy to help get us home. The staff immediately saw the look on our faces and was super friendly and helpful with recommendations.

My husband's meal was just as good and satisfying. I wish I could've tried a flight of their sauces! The staff, again, was super cool, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was very casual but still relaxing. Can't wait to be back next time we're in the area!

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.

This restaurant is located in a small strip shopping center off Tylersville Road in West Chester…read more We stopped here for dinner and both had the Shish Kebab ($23.95). It came with a side of rice pilaf and some mixed salad. Their Chardonnay wine was $12 a glass. We also ordered a Baba Ghanoush appetizer ($7.95). The restaurant wasn't too busy and we were served quickly. The decor was very nice. We found the Baba Ghanoush was bland and not at all smokey so we sent it back and were not charged for it. The lamb in the Shish Kebab was OK but didn't have a distinct lamb flavor. It could have been the meat, the seasonings or a combination of the two. It was perfectly edible but it wasn't the best lamb Shish Kebob and I would never order it again if we go back there. Alcoholic beverages are served but you have to ask for a separate drinks menu. Free parking in the shopping center lot.

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!
