We found this place on the hunt for vegetarian friendly restaurants. The sampler plate was great. Everything tasted good and I was FULL. I couldn't eat it all. The Pita bread was different from the Pita bread Im used to. My guest had the chicken kabob and he said it was very well seasoned. The apple tea was sweet and the hit black tea came with sugar cubes in the side but I enjoyed it as is. read more

Sultan Kebab - Vegetarian sampler - Turkish Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

We visited my fiance's family in Charlottesville and they brought us to a Turkish restaurant. It was my first time and I would say I am amazed. I really love their tea. It is hard to beat. The quality of food is excellent. It was raining outside and we were seated also outside so it was a little difficult but otherwise the experience was still enjoyable. I ordered the lamb with rice and vegetables and I really loved it and finished the huge plate. The other picture shows the beef one which was also great. I would love to come back. There is ample parking space on the street. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Charlottesville. read more

If you want delicious Turkish food in Charlottesville, this is the place to go. I've been here several times now, and have never had a bad experience. I would recommend starting with the grilled halloumi cheese appetizer. It only comes with two pieces, but it is delicious and salty. For entrees, my family normally goes with the kabob platters or combos. My favorites are the lamb and the Adana kabobs, but my family loves the chicken as well. All of the giant kabobs come with rice, salad, and hummus. My only complaint about the food is that I wish they included more hummus with the kabob entrees. It's so good I want to smother everything with it. I also really enjoy the Turkish coffee, it's a little different but is great after a meal. Service here is a little more relaxed, but not in a bad way. The servers come when they're needed but they don't bother you unnecessarily, giving you a chance to really enjoy your meal. The new(ish) location is quite lovely too. There's lots of seating and some beautiful murals of places in Turkey. All in all, Sultan Kebab is a great restaurant, very reasonably-priced, and will remain one of my favorites in Cville! read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend. We were seated immediately in the open concept dining room. I like the tile mosaic they have on the wall - fits the Mediterranean decor perfectly. We received great service throughout the meal. They have Efes (the beer of Turkey) which was a nice touch. I got the halloumi appetizer vegetarian sampler plate and everything was really good...quite like the food I had in Turkey years ago. Prices were reasonable too. Great spot for a quick meal, lunch, or outing with friends. read more

Authentic & DELICIOUS Turkish Food! We were out for a ride in our RV with some family from out of town. We decided to go to Charlottesville for all of the obvious reasons. Our guests only eat halal so we had to find a halal restaurant. We searched and found Sultan Kebab-- lucky and delicious find! They easily accommodated 11 of us. We (I) immediately ordered appetizers which included the beef pizza (everyone loved this especially the kids), eggplant (it was cold so not everyone loved this as much but I did), baked hummus (yummy, we had to keep ordering more warm bread to go with it) and the fried cheese (you only get two small pieces and it was yummy). For the entrees, we had 6 kids ages 5-16 and 5 adults-- we were initially going to order 5 entrees but with our waiters suggestion we ordered 7. We ended up having too much food because the portions were so large and so delicious... you will not mind taking these leftovers home! The food is obviously fresh and all made to order! I think we got every kind of kebob they had-- they all were delicious but I personally loved the chicken! My husband asked for some type of spice and they had a delicious sauce that they make themselves. The salad, the rice and kebabs were a perfect combination! Even though we were stuffed we had to get a kunefe. It takes a few minutes to bake and it says that on the menu so be sure to order it early. It was omg melt in your mouth delicious!! If I were alone I would have eaten the whole thing!! It's a small serving probably for 2! Overall it was a beautiful and delicious establishment! It appeared to be family owned and run-- the service was very good and the bathroom very clean! We could not park our RV anywhere close but not everyone arrives in an RV. I felt for the taste, quality and portion size it was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend for a nice dinner/lunch, date night, family outing, work lunch, etc. We also chose to walk around town after overeating and there were so many beautiful buildings, railroad tracks a rich history to see! Did I mention how delicious everything was? Delicious, Fresh, Authentic and large portions-- we hit the jackpot today and will be back! read more

My wife and I had talked for a while about eating here and one rainy afternoon we decided to finally check it out. Not disappointed. I went for the Inegol Kofte sandwich which was delicious. I am a big sausage fan so this was just heaven for me. I tried a Turkish coffee which wasn't to my liking but thats just a taste thing. I'm just used to good ol' fashioned dinner coffee I guess! The service was really great and the open, airy space and decor sets the mood for a Turkish experience without being too garish. Would go back to try a tradutonal kebab and try their Turkish delights. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! I love baba ghanoush, but his time i fell for their hummus. Kebabs were juicy, rice very flavorful, generous side salad. All in all, food tasted very similar to what I have eaten in Istanbul (local, not touristic places). Be careful when ordering, because meals are humongous! read more

Soooooooo delicious!! Very clean, and amazing customer service!! Wait time was quite long, but definetely worth it for such a scrumptious meal!! read more

Terrific food, friendly, attentive service and lovely Turkish wines! Love their new location! Great art and just off the C'Ville mall. Started with the humus and roasted eggplant with sweet peppers in a lovely, light olive oil. We had kebabs of lamb and beef, hummus, rice, and a great side salads. Topped off with lovely Turkish wine (the red based on the Okuzguzu grape was excellent) and then a phyllo dessert, which was light and perfectly baked! Definitely another great spot to eat in Charlottesville! read more

It left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was delicious, and the service was very nice too, but unfortunately when the bill arrived , the prices did not match those on the menu, and the meal cost me about $10 more than I thought it would for two of us. read more

Pleasantly surprised!! I hit up the vegetarian platter here not too long ago. Let me tell you, it was not a bed of lettuce and some half-ripe tomatoes, the thing was legit. There was a nice variety of different dishes in the sampler. You *will* leave full and happy. Place is also clean and the staff is friendly. A little bonus is that they have some Turkish art and cultural books available to view. read more

EXCELLENT!!! Turkish authentic cuisine. Do not pass the opportunity. Reasonable pricing for the quality and generous portions. Service cordial. Definitely worth a repeat visit. read more

Sultan's Kebab is by far my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Cville. The menu is extensive and the prices are fantastic for the portion size. The lamb kebab is my absolute favorite; it's seasoned perfectly and cooked to the perfect balance of crispy, juicy, and tender. The side salad and rice are also fantastic. I also tried their pita sandwiches and really enjoyed them. You get your food pretty quickly so it's the perfect place to visit if you're famished! There's plenty of seating so it's a safe place to go in busy hours without reservations. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back for more of the lamb kebab! read more

We had dinner there tonight and the food was delicious and so fresh! Can't wait to go there again!

Oh, Sultan Kebab. In truth I should have written this review months ago after my first visit to the restaurant in August, but I have consistently found myself at a loss for words in how to describe the lovingly-prepared and delicious food as well as my overall experience at the restaurant. It will be obvious from the moment you approach the restaurant how much time, energy, and unadulterated love the owners of Sultan Kebab, Deniz and Serhat, have poured into their restaurant. Everything from the outdoor trellis and seating area to the inside decor and tableware suggest that they have gone to great lengths to transform their little space in a generally unappealing strip mall location to a place of warmth and good spirits. Deniz, my gracious host for the evening, simply could not be more welcoming or charming. The food is just indescribably good. I had an opportunity to try a fairly wide assortment of their offerings, including the hot apple tea, the soup of the day (I believe it was a lemon-flavored lentil soup... highly recommended if they have it!), the hummus casserole, the baba ghanoush, and shrimp casserole. Everything I had just tasted so fresh and so carefully prepared that it really is quite hard to put into words. All I can say... is you can taste the love! And at the extremely fair price points, there really is no excuse to at least check it out and see if you agree. I took many pictures of my meal so please see those for reference. I also actually have a video of one of the casseroles when it came out because the cheese was literally still bubbling from the oven! Unfortunately I don't think Yelp supports video additions just yet but if you don't believe me, get in touch and I'll send it your way! read more

Nice place, the Turkish coffee is a must-try, the taste is so full and it got a subtle sweetness in it, the portion is small only a shot. Lentil soup is also good, texture is very rich. We ordered baklava & ice cream for dessert, it is so good, much better than what I had in NYC. Last but not least, the main dish --- i ordered lamb&sausage combo, the meet was juicy, the hummus and bread were awesome. My friend ordered lamb & grounded beef combo and I had a bite on the beef, I think lamb is the best meat among all 3, highly recommend the lamb read more

Amazing place for lunch and dinner. Prices are affordable. Service is very fast and helpful. The food is so delicious, I have tried many items from the menu and couldn't think of anything that I wouldn't like. My favorite is def a Lamb and Chicken. Love their dessert Kunefe, so amazing. Just my top 1 place in Cville. read more

The dessert is absolutely stellar. The interior of the place and service is good! I had a good time here and it was very affordable.

Chicken was moist and flavorful. The hummus had great taste. The hot sauce they offered was absolutely delicious and I assume homemade (and beautifully spicy). The side salad was lightly dressed with the reddest and freshest tomatoes I've seen since August. Great spot and my favorite Mediterranean food in Cville read more

Absolutely delicious food and the management went out of their way to accommodate us by opening a table on the close patio so that we could dine with our dog. The appetizers were delicious, the bread was fresh and homemade, and my main course salad and my husbands meal were delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone! read more

Ever since these guys from Izmir, Turkey opened their spot near 29N they have excelled. Now they have a beautiful restaurant with patio downtown. They excel in customer service, excellent fresh food, consistent quality! I'd eat here everyday if I could. AND: do NOT pass on the baklava! It is THE best I have ever had, even in Turkey! They make it in-house. read more

Sultan Kebab is an awesome Charlottesville gem! Healthy and great Turkish food is always a must, but it's especially encouraging to see a restaurant offering full services and hours during COVID. You have to try it! read more

I found this restaurant to be very good the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are incredibly nice ( they let me borrow a charger even ). They are helpful when it comes to ordering, especially if you have no clue what to get... you do get a lot of food, however if you are a german like me and you like bread they only give you a specific serving of bread. I full heartedly recommend this place to those with an open mind and eager to try new things. read more

Delicious Turkish food. I love Iskandar Kebab platter. I always order this dish everytime i come there. Turkish coffee, a somewhat pizza version, salad is always good options. Platter comes with rice, the sauce and yoghurt. Next time you are in Downtown Charlottesville make sure you make a stop here and enjoy good food and great service!!! read more

We love Mediterranean foods so we chose this restaurant and used Grub Hub to have it delivered to our motel. When it arrived promptly we were so happy. But, the wrong order was given to us. When we called to let them know, they not only sent the correct meal they also let us keep the other meal. All was super delish and very authentic. What a wonderful business. Please get their food for a wonderful meal! Thank you sultan Kebab! read more

Food is excellent and staff is great. One entree is vegetarian and can be made vegan. Some appetizers are vegetarian. Meat eaters in our party really enjoyed the lamb kebab. Baklava was delicious and not too sweet. read more
