We got the lamb kebab, chicken kebab, and the appetizer sampler. Everything was excellent. The wait staff was excellent. I would definitely return.

Another excellent meal! I'm typically a chicken breast type of person but I opted for the grilled chicken thighs this time- Definitely a new favorite! 3 juicy well cooked pieces of chicken, with grilled tomato and long hot, I substituted fries but this comes with Bulgar and rice, a side of pickled veggies which had the perfect amount of acid to this meal. I ordered delivery, everything was neatly packed with condiments and cactik sauce for the chicken too.

We literally live on the far side of the state and yet we make a pilgrimage here on regular basis because it's so darn good. The food offerings are always impeccable. Their drinks are great, but their staff is the true treasure. Our favorite server is Bora, who always remembers us when we come in and always takes amazing care of us. Certain nights I believe Saturdays they have a belly dancer who is amazing to watch and really gets the entire restaurant energized. Don't be concerned about the very full parking lot. It's often that way but inside it's very organized and there is very infrequently a wait.

Delish! We were driving by en route to Pennsylvania from Rhode Island and needed vegetarian "supper-to-go." What fabulous food! Falafel wrap, eggplant, & fatoush salad. What a treat!

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great(especially with the belly dancer), and the service is always friendly. My go to dinner is the chicken shish. I love mixing the pickled veggies into the rice and bulgur. I have one suggestion, pack a little cup of the yogurt sauce for take out orders. I really like that sauce and I forget to ask for it when I get take out. And they make the best hummus. You can't miss out on the carrot dip either... just do yourself a favor and order the cold appetizer sampler platter.

Living so close to Sultan's and driving by for over a decade, I always wondered what it was like. We finally went for dinner and the belly dancing show, and our expectations were exceeded! Everything was absolutely incredible here - their menu is huge, the staff was knowledgeable about the food and very friendly, and the food came out quickly despite how packed they were with multiple large parties. I thought the lamb kofte was so tender and perfectly cooked. You can't beat the mixed cold dips platter either! The belly dancing show was so fun to watch, and we had such a great time that we already decided to bring my grandfather here in 2 weeks for his birthday. All we can say is we're disappointed we hadn't visited sooner! We will definitely be regulars now!

One of our favorite restaurants in CT! The restaurant is always clean and service is very friendly. The owner is so nice and always checks on us frequently. The food is consistently great. Meat is juicy and well cooked, and the mixed cold appetizers with bread is a must. Turkish coffee is strong and the perfect pick me up. Highly recommend visiting for delicious, halal Turkish food.

As new residents of Connecticut, we're doing a bad job of exploring so far lol. We've been so busy and haven't had time to go out much yet. We came to Sultan on a Saturday night so we could have a night out to unwind. It was a great experience. The food was delicioussss. So many great menu options! Very authentic which we loved. They also had dancers on Saturday night which was cool and entertaining. Servers were great, all around a good time. We ordered the various dips, mixed meat platter and for dessert we got bakllava and rice pudding.

11.7.23 This is going to be one of those, I can't believe I haven't written a review about this place. It's one of those long overdue reviews. I've been coming here for a handful of years now and I've visited them dozens of times thanks to Melineh's pics. I've eaten in and had take out. It is authentic Turkish food. The place isn't much to look at from the outside. We've all heard the saying,, don't judge a book by its cover. This is one of those places. Ornately decorated inside. Not to much, but just enough. It is very clean inside. The service has been back and forth with good, great, outstanding & so so. But hey, everyone needs to start somewhere & everybody deserves a chance. Right? Well, they've had some new servers training at times which is to be expected at any restaurant. You take the good with the ok. The same goes with their food. I have had very good & fantastic meals and there have been some misses. Sometimes, like other reviewers have mentioned the meat has been dry because they overcooked it. The majority of times I've eaten here the meat or chicken has been on point and very juicy. I've picked up wraps for take out and that's been most of my least favorite times with their food. They do serve a solid meal with reasonable prices and good portions of food. For the most part the service has been very good. Spacious dining. They have some outside dining for the warmer months. Good size parking lot. Located alongside the highway. Easy on or off regardless of which direction you're heading in. All of the times the food has been fresh. My absolute favorite item here is their fattush salad with their amazing dressing with pomegranate juice. This is a to die for salad. They serve complimentary bread which has always been fresh on my visits. I have also had their Turkish tea after dinner which was divine. Served in an elegant glass coffee/tea cup. So simple yet so delightful. Looking forward to visiting them very soon. Until next time.

It's a lovely authentic Turkish experience in a relaxed comfortable atmosphere! We had the pleasure of being attended through our evening dinner by such a dear young lady named Amy. She really upped the night with her personable & kind nature. Such a good egg! They are lucky to have her. We opted for the mixed cold sampler app with a nice mix to try with their warm fresh hearty bread basket. Then we shared the huge land & sea dinner. WOW factor galore! We couldn't finish anything, but now we have leftovers to remember our great time. We will def be back when we pass through again sometime!
