Sultan’s Kebab

I’ve done some traveling throughout Turkey and this place takes me right back. This place is legit Turkish food and it’s amazing! I was able to order a chicken Iskender which wasn’t even in the menu. The doner is just how I remember too. The atmosphere is super casual but very clean too which is great.

Ambiance is really nice. Try not to come in during lunch or dinner hours because they could get really busy even outdoor seats are packed. Prices are reasonable and the staffs are friendly.

Love the combo shawarma plate, falafel and their incredible hummus! The organic, made in house lemonade is always refreshing as well.

I got the Falafel’s and the lamb shish wrap. The wrap was pretty good, but the falafel was absolutely spectacular. Probably the best falafel I have ever had.

My husband found this place while trying to figure out what to eat for lunch today.
I requested, Adana Wrap + Garlic fries. I liked the flavor of Adana wrap + loved the hot sauce that came along. Oh, did I mention how BIG these wraps were in general? My god! I never seen a very long wraps before. haha
My husband ordered House Falafel wrap + Veggie Wrap, he enjoyed both.
I was told, Sultan’s Kebab was packed however the service was very slow.
Overall, we’ll definitely try out this place again!

Best falafel wrap I’ve ever had — oodles of hummus and fresh veggies and flavor. Crunchy and satisfying. Even more fantastic with their yogurt condiment. Alot of food, unfortunately so much so that I couldn’t even fit a piece of yummy-​looking pistachio baklava =(
The lunch line here gets unexpectedly long and busy… we got here right before the tsunami and the food came out pretty quick.

Food ordered :
Falafel 5 stars: Absolutely amazing, we got it piping hot and with nice flavorful sauces. Can’t get enough of it.
Chicken Kabob 4 stars: Chicken was well marinated and perfectly cooked but the flavor was something that lacked the WOW factor.
Lamb Kabob 3 stars: Lamb was flavorful but chewy, probably the cut was not a nice one and the pieces are too small that kind of doesn’t give a full chance to relish the dish.
Garlic Fries 1 star: Pretty bad considering the quality of other dishes
Pros :
1: Good customer service
2: Outdoor seating was nice
3: Clean indoors
Cons :
1: Not enough space around the counter, so crowd management is not easy during peak hours.
2: Restroom was not clean enough.
3: Not good for big groups.

Chicken sheesh wrap. Its not the favorite thing I had. The sandwish was mainly stuffed with chicken and lettuce. The sandwish was arid and barely had any flavor in it.

I love mediterranean food, and this place is closeby so I had to check it out.
I came here and ordered the lamb schwarma, chicken schwarma, fries and falafel.
I think the fries were okay, they weren’t all that great. The falafel is tasty.
As for the lamb schwarma, the meat’s good. I stuffed it in the pita that’s provided, added the vegetables and spread hummus on it. They also give you some hot sauce, so I add some of the hot sauce to it as well. As I finished my pitas, I noticed there’s rice in my plate, so I ate some rice. THE RICE IS SO GOOD. I took a bite, and I realized this isn’t just any ordinary rice. It goes so well with my lamb schwarma.
My biggest complaint of this place is they don’t have beef schwarma.
Overall, I would definitely come back for the schwarma plates. I am curious how the schwarma wraps taste like so maybe I’ll try those next time!

This place is tucked away on the side of a business plaza. It’s a clean place, medium size restaurant. I got the chicken kabob and my husband got a combo plate with chicken and lamb. The food was nothing spectacular. According to my husband my chicken kabob was better than his plate. It came on 4 skewers which was quite enough for me. It came with white rice and a fairly fresh salad. I was a little surprised at the white rice. There was a bit of flavoring but I sort of expected saffron rice. Not a huge deal. The falafel was okay. The hummus was bland. Prices are affordable and the service was fine. Overall the food was mediocre and I probably wouldn’t return.

Every time I go, I have a superlative experience. The last time we were there, the owner brought 4 freshly made falafel’s with pita and condiments to our table, ON THE HOUSE!
The food is consistently superb. This has become a weekly hangout for us.

Meh, not great but not terrible, just alright. I came here on a weekend night with some friends, and it was pretty full when we came. I ordered a combo plate with beef and lamb; it came with two skewers of each, rice, salad, and hummus. The salad was fresh but didn’t have much flavor, the bottom of the rice was pretty clumpy. The hummus was pretty average, though it did have a great consistency. I thought the flavor could have been better though. The beef and lamb were both really flavorful, but they were both overcooked and too hard. Quantity of the food isn’t very good for the price either; it was $ 12.05 post-​tax for this meal. There are definitely better mediterranean places around!

I normally do drive a good 25 – 30 min for this place. Solid tasty food, with decent prices. The Fresh-​Outta-​Oven Kenafe are AMAZE BALLs. and shawarma’s are always on-​point.
They also have pickled turnips, the good kind, which is a pretty rare commodity it seems.
So why not 5-​stars. Even though the you see the seekh of shawarma always being worked on, a couple of times I get mine a little on the cold side. Still tastes amazing, but just not consistent

I LOVE this place. I work in Koll Center, so it is very convenient for lunch. Usually I’ll call in my order and then drive or walk over and grab a table — the food is always ready to go when i get there.
They are fast and all of the food is amazing.
I have gotten the Shish plates in all different meat options, the wrap, and the salads. My favorite of their meat is the lamb, i think because i don’t get it anywhere else. It is always very flavorful and tender. The white sauce (tzatziki i think) that they have on the tables along with the chili paste — it is to die for. I smother everything in that delicious sauce.
Also, the Dolmas and Falafel are killer!
Sit outside in the sun on a nice afternoon!

I was starving and decided to stop in here before picking the dog up from dog day care !
I ordered the combo Shawrama salad. It was huge ! I absolutely hate when restaurants use plastic bag salad mixes ! My salad was not from a plastic bag. It was super fresh and the portion was huge for the price point of $ 9.99. The meat was very tender, juicy and flavorful .
I’ve also had their kabobs. It was cooked extremely well and very flavorful
The humus is delicious, extremely creamy.
*I love the individual falafel they sell! So gooood!
I’ve ate here multiple times since. The food is always fresh and you get extremely large portions .
Customer service is not the best at all. I always order food to go because every time I’ve ate here the service hasn’t been the best however the food is really good.

Located in Koll Center business park next door to the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
I wanted to try this place because every time I am in the area, it’s crazy busy here! There’s always a line at the register. It took over ten minutes for my co — worker and I to get our food. That’s critical timing when you’re on a lunch break! I’d recommend calling ahead or getting take out if you’re in a rush.
I ordered the lamb and chicken kebabs with rice and a small house salad and wasn’t impressed. The plating was nice but the food definitely lacked flavor. The rice that came with the dish was yummy and the best part of the meal. I didn’t like the salad at all, it ended up going to waste.
They serve each dish with fresh pita bread and hummus for dipping and it’s delicious!
I wouldn’t come back here but it wasn’t the worst dining experience.

Wow, it’s taken wayyy to long for me to try this place. First timer here and gotta say, totally love it!
Ordered a beef kabob plate with salad and rice and every bite was amazing. The meat was perfectly flavored and tender, the salad was crisp, and the rice had some flavoring thrown in that added that extra awesomeness to this place. You also get some pita bread and hummus with your meal!
Staff is very friendly and quick to serve and help you with anything. Very busy during lunch time but I suggest you brave the line, you won’t be disappointed!

I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Wrap. I got here right before the lunch rush, so my food came out in less than 10 minutes. I’ve been here a few times, and as all the regulars know, you HAVE to get here before Noon, or you will be stuck in a long line, that moves a little slow.
At $ 6.99, this wrap is hard to beat. It is a pretty decent sized wrap, so you may end up just eating half of it, and saving the other half for your next meal. They chicken was very tender and juicy. Their special white sauce is the glue that brings all the flavors together.
You will notice that they have fresh baklava by the ordering counter. Although it looks really good, I haven’t got around to trying it. I promise that on my next visit, I will order something different, and I will order some baklava as well.
The atmosphere here is pretty laid back. The dining area is not that large, but there are a few tables outside if you prefer outdoor seating.
Side note:
They don’t actually have a Salmon Wrap on their menu, but they will make it for you. I got it once, and it was amazing. My only complaint was the price. It came out to $ 11 and change. A little steep for a lunch wrap right?
Conclusion:
It’s a great Mediterranean place to hit when you are in Pleasanton!

This is clearly a popular place in Pleasanton (massive lines during lunch time, along with a frenzied staff rushing around). Our group lucked out and was able to grab a table, without having to wait in too long of a line.
~COMBO SHAWARMA SALAD
The chicken and lamb shawarma was actually quite good, but the salad portion of this dish was lacking. The avocado served to me was unripened, and the vinegar content on the rest of the vegetables was too high for my taste. There was (oddly) one sauteed mushroom on my salad, which was delicious, but still, very lonely.
~HUMMUS
It wasn’t bad, but the shells on the chickpeas weren’t removed (at least, not from the ones topping the hummus), which made it a little mealy tasting.
Sultan’s definitely does very well for itself, however, and the service is quite good considering how swamped they are.

My family loves to go to Sultan’s Kebab for an easy dinner any night of the week. On my first dine-​in experience, I felt like they had good quality food at decent prices. The service here is also really great; it appears to be family run and everyone there is welcoming.
I absolutely love their falafels and my mom even ordered a bunch as appetizers for a dinner party once. When you have them fresh, they are a little oily, but let them sit on a paper towel for a few minutes and they are perfect. They have a crunchy exterior and a well seasoned interior. At first, the color is a bit surprising because I have never seen falafel this green before, but they taste delicious.
As my main course, I ordered the Beef Shish Kebab with the Salad. The salad is quite substantial. There’s a lot of lettuce and on top is half an avocado. While I love avocados, the two halves that I had (my boyfriend gave me his half) here were a little too firm. The meat looks like there isn’t a lot of it when it comes out, there are four little skewers with small pieces of meat, but the dish overall is very filling. The meat also tastes really good, the pieces are all succulent and flavorful.
The restaurant is very casual and family friendly, and I really love their outdoor seating. They have cute little benches with pillows that make a perfect spot on summer nights.
My only concern in the experience was that the young lady that brought out our food offered us some bread to eat with our meal. We accepted the offer, but she never came back with the bread.
Overall, I would love to come back here again. The food is great and service was nice. Even though we didn’t get the bread, I can’t really complain about something I wasn’t expecting to get anyway.
