While surfing on Yelp I stumbled upon Sultan's. First let me say I am very fond of great food. Today I was just looking for a place as I was in the Come Ave area. I got the eggplant panini and picked up the grill chicken panini for my coworker.Without a doubt this was the absolutely best panini I have ever had!!! This says a lot because I have had many paninis and this gets the perfect sandwich award. The service I received from the two woman behind the counter was fabulous.Well done !!! I shocked myself calling to let them know they really turned my day around. I will be back, again and again. read more

What a cute bakery! We've come here often and what keeps us coming back is the caprese acma. The flavors! The mozzarella, tomato, pesto are the best parts of a typical caprese sandwich. And add an acma to it? The flavor goes off the charts! And when you eat it piping hot, mmmm good. As for their other savory items, I've enjoyed the potato borek, mainly because the potato stuffing has actual spices! It's not plain potato and salt which is such a refreshing change. The mozarella pogaca is good too. Just an FYI, all of this can be quite heavy, so you might want to save some as a snack later. I enjoy their sweet baked goods too. The chocolate and almond caramel tart is such a huge slice (it is for ~$9) but was very tasty. They have cookies, and the almond sugar coated one is my favorite. But the absolute best is the baklava. Wow, the best baklava I've had. It was crisp on the outside, just enough syrup for the sweetness, and fresh pistachios in the center. Why did I only get one serving?! Definitely try this bakery, especially the Turkish delicacies. You'll love it! read more

Best baklava I've ever had in Boston! So fresh and flaky and just the right amount of sweetness. The owner is extremely friendly and is passionate about food. The roasted eggplant panini is also delicious! So creamy and the bread was very well toasted. Also the raspberry iced tea was very refreshing. I will definitely be back for their seasonal pastries!! read more

I had never tried Turkish pastries before, or heard Turkish spoken. It was nice to have Turkish cafe near my place. I had some authentic pastries I forgot the names (attached pics) but they are very good. Also the owner was very friendly and nice. read more

This place is small but very cute! There are a few tables inside and a constant rotation of fresh baked goods. Make sure to always ask what has just come out of the oven and the owner will surely bring out a tray of warm sweet/savory pastries! The coffee was delicious and we were given a complimentary almond cookie when we left just because the owner thought we'd like it :) We ordered coffee, a spinach borek, and a chicken borek - The spinach borek definitely shined the most especially since we ended up ordering a second one! Try it out here for a warm cozy cafe vibe, not the place for a full on breakfast spread if that's what you're looking for. read more

The lady at the front is so. sweet. She guided us to choosing a couple wonderful choices. Others have said all there needs to be said, but to reiterate: The feta/olives acma (pronounced "achma") is bomb as is the pogaca (pronounced "pogcha", as far as I can remember). Perfect buttery pastry dough with flavorful fillings. Everything looks so good! We'll have to come back. read more

The Acma is excellent, very fresh and tasty croissant with fresh ingredients. I had the ham, egg and cheese, my daughter had the egg, cheese and veggies. Well decorated interior, and warm, polite service. I will try the pastries and desserts another time! read more

This little cafe is a hidden gem! Authentic sandwiches, pastries and Turkish coffee all served in a charming, plant-filled cafe. The owner is lovely, very friendly and happy to help you order if you're not familiar with Turkish food. Most of the recipes are from the owner's mother which adds a nice touch. The lentil soup and Caprice (basil-tomato-mozzarella) Acme sandwich, were absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a place where the food and the service are equally wonderful, but Sultana's does just that. I will continue coming back read more

I went here twice over a weekend period. The place is small and quaint. When I first tried to go in, the woman was rude. She was cleaning the front outside area of the restaurant because it was dirty. It seemed like I was bothering her and I had to ask her if she wanted me to go in. After saying yes, I ordered the ham and cheese quiche, which was sizable and good. I went a second day to try their lunch food, which were the paninis. The paninis were big, but they didn't taste that great. I tasted a lot of bread. Overall, giving this place a 3 for semi rude service and food was ok. I would go back for breakfast.. would pass on their sandwiches. read more

Sultana's Bakery and Cafe is one of a number of businesses located on Comm Ave by Washington Street. Parking is rather limited in the area with many street spots marked for permit only, which leaves us visitors to the area out in the dust. I did manage to find myself a parking spot that seemed legit, and was relieved to find no parking ticket on my windshield upon my return. My visit was instigated by a voucher deal expiring in July, but I appreciate the opportunity it granted me to be introduced to this nice little cafe situated diagonally across from Tasca. In my normal course of activity, I would not naturally end up here. But since it was but a hop, skip and a jump from WGBH, I scooted on over for a bit of something savory after having lined my belly with ice cream, cotton candy, and chips. The bakery is Turkish with seats for about 10. They opened only just last year, in either October or November. With $20 to spend, I decided a sampling of Sultana's was in order: Feta and Olives Acma Sandwich $5.99 Spinach and Feta Borek $5.99 Chicken Borek $5.99 Corek with Mozzarella $3.49 Homemade Lemon Tart $5.99 I wanted it to-go, but the tart was being made fresh for me, so they offered to bring me the sandwich first so I may siit down and enjoy it in the meantime. Now I'm no olive lover, but given the accolades on Yelp, I went with the Feta and Olives Acma Sandwich with its olive spread anyways. It arrived a rather large (circumferencially) yet thin hoop filled with bright fresh vegetables (namely halved grape tomatoes and sliced bell peppers). It was salty sweet, crisp soft tender. It was a good portion, so I took most of it back with me. My mom liked it too, and she generally doesn't like olives either. The lemon tart had a good crust, but I was hoping for a more striking or intense lemon flavor - this was more creamy calm, than in your face. We couldn't tell the two Boreks apart till we cut into them. Per instruction, I baked them in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes after their overnight in the fridge. The chicken was a tad dry - perhaps because its stay in the oven was on the longer side - while both were pretty good on the whole. The Corek with Mozzarella was seasoned and savory, reminding me of a tender pizza crust. I hope to return for another sandwich made of their terrific acma bread! But I also wonder if they will sell that bread on its own, and for how much? read more

I had been to Sultana a few times before and always appreciated the family feel of this local spot run by a mother daughter team. The baked goods are always fresh and have that homemade taste which eases the guilt of eating out. In the past I normally opted for the burek which taste pretty great here. During the quarantine I tried out a delivery from Sultana and I could not have asked for a better experience. Everything was packaged in a sanitary manner and the delicious pogaca was still very warm on arrival. The bakhlava and pistachio topped apricot pastry I tried were also on point! overall don't miss out on this local gem. It will definitely impress read more

On a quiet and unsuspecting part of Commonwealth Ave you can find this authentic, family opened cafe that offers great coffee and light but delicious menu featuring salads and paninis.

Cute coffee shop/ cafe at Washington square. They have a few vegan/vegatarian options as well as some other good looking food. Coffee is solid but my favorite part is the plants and decor in the tiny seating area. Very unique. read more

Great food. And when it's tasty and not too unhealthy, that shows quality, which is a nice change from the typical restaurant. I dined in and had the chicken panini and lentil soup, both delicious and a good size. Very interesting exotic lemonades too... ex. saffron rose water lemonade! Authentic Mediterranean atmosphere, with very nice staff, and reasonable prices. Definitely going back! read more

I've never been so quickly obsessed with a place! The owner was warm, welcoming and quick to make suggestions, which, as a painfully indecisive person, I love. And the food matched the mood! Acma was *chef's kiss* and the chicken panini was flavorful and delicious. Can't wait to be a regular here read more

It was simply a delight to eat at this place. I felt like I was welcomed into someone's home to have a meal. Super cozy, and very delicious food! Both the mother who cooked and the daughter who took care of us were so gracious and caring. We stopped by for breakfast. I had an egg, cheese, and turkey sandwich. My friend had the feta sandwich. Not sure what kind of bread the sandwich was served on, but it was awesome and I believe freshly baked :) Definitely check this place out!! read more

Quirky little spot in Brighton that has a home-y feel to it. You'll usually walk in to find the owner hanging around with her adorable dog. Part of the cozy feeling this place gives is that she never hesitates to sneak a free sample into your bag. Food is delicious, especially the Baklava.

I used to order from Sultana's in 2016 and it was delicious back then. So, when it popped up on my delivery app this morning I was very excited to to try it again (I figured it had gone out of business). Unfortunately, it didn't live up to what I remembered. The acma egg and cheese sandwich was literally wet with moisture. The bread was soaked right through and there was condensation at the bottom of the container. I figured I'd just push through and eat it anyway until I started taking bites of the egg, which was extremely overcooked. I'm not picky about my eggs by any means, but this one was *hard* with dark green inside. It seemed like it had been cooked earlier in the morning and set aside for later, as if it had cooled fully and then been reheated. Needless to say, I gave up on the acma sandwich. The quiche unfortunately wasn't any better. It wasn't wet, but the quiche filling was hard and unappetizing. It was nothing like what I used to get. The shell was also extremely dry and had an off taste to it. Finally, the gooey butter cookie was overcooked as well. I recognize that it's not supposed to be literally gooey, but it was basically as dry as a shortbread cookie. So, this was definitely disappointing. I don't know if they've changed ownership or what, but when several things I order are this bad it's hard to imagine that this was just an off day. read more

This place is a quaint spot in Brighton to try something new. I went today for my first time and it was definitely unforgettable. The menu is up on a large chalk board and they have pastries all along the counter that all looked really good. Initial impressions...At first there was no one at the counter to great us or take our order, but then this sweet older woman popped out from the back but she didn't speak much English. Luckily my friend and I were still deciding what we wanted to try, and then someone else came out and was able to help, and she was very nice. We tried the acma sandwich, which is a Turkish style bagel but soft and more like a pastry than bagel. I got it with bacon and eggs and my friend got bacon eggs and cheese. It was very very tasty, the pastry bagel was probably my favorite, mine kept falling apart but only because the lack of cheese. I still enjoyed it. The other items on their menu sounded really good and I will definitely be going back to try some of their lunch options! Definitely recommend coming here if you're in the mood to try something different. read more

This place gets five stars because it exemplifies the best parts of Allston. It is a unique and authentic little place run by someone who displays true passion for what she does and great friendliness to every customer. I really like how the owner seems to love to share the Turkish baked goods with anyone who comes in. I would highly recommend this place to someone who is looking for a little unique experience that is becoming more and more rare as international chain businesses get more and more of the market. read more

The lady that runs this place is as nice as can be. You can tell she really works hard and cares a lot about her customers. The place itself is pretty small but furnished like a quaint cafe, or the inside of somebodies living room. I stopped by for breakfast right as it opened and was talking to one of the workers because the owner hadn't stopped by yet. I ordered an caprice açma. I would descibe açma as like a bagel but with the softness of a croissant. It came out extremely warm, soft, and slightly oily. I'm not usually the biggest fan of pesto and ordered the caprice by accident but I actually enjoyed it very much, which makes me think maybe I just don't enjoy store-bought pesto. It was garlicky and refreshing. The tomatoes were fresh and the mozzarella melted in a really satisfying way. I don't usually get breakfast sandwiches, but this was very satisfying without being too heavy. I also got some Turkish coffee which was pretty strong and I would recommend a decent amount of sugar to. When the owner came she was extremely apologetic about being late even though it was barely an inconvenience since my order was still being made. I came up a little short on cash and decided to use my card instead and she told me to just pay what I had and to come back and give the rest next time. I was telling her how I was going to Istanbul in a couple weeks and she started offering me advice and told me to come back with a list of restaurants I planned on going to so she could ask her friends and family that live there about them and give me their feedback. Overall I had a great experience both with the food and with chatting with the owner and I will definitely be back. read more
