We had Sultan 2 nights in a row as we loved it...Had Sultan platter and the meat ball platter for appetizer....loved the baklavas and tea...Told our server to open a location in Chicago...bread is amazing..fresh and yummy food with big portions...Customer service was excellent...Even their salad was good..
Great place for lunch or dinner. I Recommend you to try their Baba Ghanouj with hot non-bread for an appetizer, Lamb Shank or Sultan Kebab (plate with lamb, chicken and beef kebab) as a meal �

We stopped by for dinner during our SD trip. The location is super nice and the place was packed when we visited. The environment is pretty relaxed and informal. The server was nice and helping. They asked us to change the table after we started to eat the appetiser! We didn’t mind tho. We drank ayran, a buttermilk drink very authentic to Turkish cuisine. We started with falafel and babaganoush as appetiser. The falafel was great, and the babaganoush was decent. It came with some flatbreads, exactly like store brought flour tortila. We expected hot and fresh, house made pita instead. Me and my husband both shared a single main entree, the platter with some rice, kebab and salad. The rice was just okay, but the kebab ( made with ground/ minced meat) was terrific. The hot and juicy kebab was marinated well, and cooked to the perfection. We ordered a kunafeh as dessert which was terrible, a true disaster. I have had this one many times before in many places, so I had a specific standard. The kunafeh was greasy and chewy! Inside the cheese was almost like mozzarella. When the server was asking about it, we couldn’t resist, but told her the truth. Knowing our heartbreak, she gave us a complementary baklava, which was super. Overall, the food was decent, but the service was super slow and careless.
Very nice and clean place. The food is good. I like most of it except one order, which seems to be not fresh and oily. The service is really nice and the restaurant has lots and lots of room for seating.
The restaurant is located in a very busy area. The prices are in the average, except for the Kunafa, I think it’s a bit over priced. The small dish is too small and it’s for $10, while the larger size is kind of medium or normal size and that’s for $14.
Take a look at the dishes I ordered and the menus they have.
Food is excellent. However, service is slow. We came here for our anniversary which was on a monday so it was not busy. When I say busy I mean only one table was taken. After we were done eating we waited about 15 minutes and still the waiter was not acknowledging us even though he made eye contact three times. Finally I had to go up and ask for desert. If you go to this restaurant be ready to wait before the servers acknowledge you.
We ordered Tavuk Sis and Walnut pistachio baklava. The chicken in Tavuk sis was so soft and juicy. It was cooked to perfection and the overall taste of the dish was also superb. Baklava was a bit hard to cut, harder than what I have usually had but its taste was quite good. It wasn’t too sugary which is what I like. The service was also good. They were really sweet and respectful.
One of the best authentic Turkish restaurant that I have ever been to. Everything was fabulous honestly the food and the desserts were incredible compared to the other Turkish restaurants. Plus the customer service was outstanding so well done 👏🏼
Some of the best Turkish food that I’ve had in a while. The waitstaff here is very friendly and looking to make your meal more enjoyable. Everything that were tried was great and I’d highly recommend the shared plates if you’re in a group of people. Try out their tea/coffee which goes well before or after dinner. Looking forward to coming back soon.
This is the best Turkish Cuisine I have visited in the USA. Prices are very affordable and taste of the food is amazing. Everything tastes exactly like how its supposes to taste in Turkey. They are not trying to “Americanize” their meals. Which I really appreciate. Also server was really polite and helpful.
Must visit place if you are in the downtown area
10/10

This was one of the fancier places we went to in San Diego. With Turkish cuisine being our favorite, this didn’t disappoint. The kitchen is in the middle as soon as you walk in, with seating areas to your right and left. We had to wait to be seated on the left side, as there was only one waiter, and social distancing protocols were in effect. The interior was historically decorative, with a dim ambience.
There was only one waiter who was running around serving multiple tables. As we wanted to try all their meats, we opted in for the Sultan Kebab and Prizola (lamb chops). I usually only like to order house drinks, sowe decided to try the Ayran (yogurt drink). The Sultan Kebab plate had a skewer of chicken tikka (pieces), lamb tikka (pieces), beef kufta (ground), and donar (shawarma) slices. The Prizola plate came with 4 pieces of lamb chops. Both entrees came with salad (side of feta) and yogurt sauce (tzatziki).
All the meats on both entrees were cooked to perfection, and delicious. However, the meat portions were on the smaller side, and the lamb chops were on the thinner side. The salad and feta cheese were fresh and an excellent addition to the plate. The Ayran was more salty and watery than my liking; I’d like it to be more thicker and tart.
Nevertheless, everything was delicious. I’d definitely recommend the Sultan Kebab entree. The prices are a little higher for the portion size and service, but the food quality makes up for it. I recommend it!
I've been looking everywhere for a turkish restaurant since I've visited Turkey a couple years back. They are actually hard to find. This spot in the gaslamp district of San Diego delivers the Authentic experience straight from Instanbul.
The lamb kebab was delicious and had the seasoning that took me back to Instanbul with each bite. The salmon was even better. Perfectly cooked, with a nice glazed finish and flavoring. Both plates paired with fresh salad and basmati rice.
The turkish tea and coffee were both Authentic and delicious. I enjoyed a coffee with a desert. The kunafi is a rare specialty, baked in the oven prior to reaching your table, its a crispy, cheesy, syrupy and perfect desert to pair with coffee.
I was very satisfied with the food and quality of ingredients. If you are craving a taste of Turkey, then you have to check this restaurant out!!
On my out, I noticed they even had fresh turkish delights!! Which I will have to come back for
