Beautiful ambiance lots of plants and florals for a natural vibe Opted for the combo shwarma (chicken and lamb defaults) over salad. This was the lighter option instead of a plate which comes with rice. Hot sauce and cream sauce is separate so you can add your own to your heart's content The Turkish delights look amazing, so colorful and lots of flavors. Can buy a sample set that comes in a nice box for about $16 if you want to try read more

Sultan's Livermore location has a full bar and a DJ as well on the weekends (atleast Saturday). The food is at the same bar as their Pleasanton location. Limited options for the vegetarians but the falafel work pretty well. The staff is friendly and after you place your order at the counter, they bring the food to you. Love the desserts, so I always pick some on my way out. read more

I came to Sultan's Kebab on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a beef wrap which came with a salad. The beef was well seasoned and the veggies were fresh. My friend had a chicken pate. The portions of my plate were average. It is a pretty restaurant inside. There is a red sauce on the table which has a kick to it. I recommend trying this restaurant if you are looking for a healthy meal. Service is not like a sit down ambiance but the restaurant looks like it could be that way. You order at the front, put a number at your table and they serve you :) read more

This is the third Sultan's Kebab location we have been to. It is our understanding that each Sultan's Kebab is owned by a different family member(?), and they certainly all have a little bit of differences in menu offerings and taste. We came for a weekend dinner. The decor and mood has definitely a modern feel and vibe. There is plenty of interior and outdoor patio dining. Service is typical of others. Pretty straightforward and nothing overly notable. Food arrived fairly quick. We ordered our usual, the Sultan's burger. This was probably the worst of all three locations we've been to. There was very little flavor and the fries were not crisped enough. We also chose two other unique dishes we have not seen before at the other locations. The Pide with half chicken and half ground lamb/beef is essentially a pizza. While the chicken meat was was moist and full of flavor, the ground lamb and beef was disappointing as it had a very herby taste to it that we did not like particularly. The Lahmacun was essentially a flatbread with similar ground lamb and beef. Again, this was not really to our liking. Given this food experience, we will definitely not return to this location and choose instead to go to our favorites elsewhere. read more

Under the same ownership of Sultan's Kebab and Falafel in Danville, I knew the food was going to be great! Located on the corner of 1st St & Maple in Livermore, there was ample parking on the side. This location is bigger and spacious than the Danville location, with a touch of Christmas lights for the holidays. Also has more offerings too. Ordered a combination plate, wrap, lamb casserole and a Chz & Pastirma Pide (flatbread pizza). For dessert, had Kunefe and a variety of Turkish Delights. Everything was made to order and food was fresh and delicious! The guys at behind the counter were very helpful in explaining some dishes, even suggest to delay the Kunefe it would served warm. What I also like about this place is that they have bottomless self-serve tea, which we took advantage of to command the cold weather. Highly Recommend if ever in the Livermore Area! read more

We celebrated a graduation at Sultan's Kebab in Livermore recently. Every employee provided the utmost attention and exceptional customer service to every guest, which made us feel so comfortable and welcome. The decor with all the flowers is also very relaxing. The DJ was very kind and had a diverse selection of music available. He would happily and quickly play your request. The entire family danced and had a fabulous time! I was too busy running around showing my hospitality to all, so I did not really get to taste much of the food. I had a nibble of the adane kabob and lamb shank and they were both soft and flavorful. I also took a bite of the salmon kabob, which I REALLY liked. The mixed shwarma plate did not have much flavor. However, most guests were satisfied with the food. Thank you, Sultan's Kebab, for a pleasant night and helping us celebrate our graduation at your place! read more

Great casual spot in downtown for mediterranean, park in the small attatched lot, on the street, or at the big lot a block away. Order at the front and they'll give you a number and bring your food out to wherever you've chosen to sit. Big portions, and always delicious. I usually get a schwarma plate and it comes with rice, salad, meat, and pita bread. Sit inside or in their covered patio. Great for groups of all sizes. read more

I LOVE coming to Sultan's Kebab! It's conveniently located across from the movie theater and in downtown. I always order the combo shish kebab plate with chicken and beef. It comes with a good amount of food and I always leave stuffed! The salad dressing is to die for. The meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection. The pita with hummus combo is elite. My FAVORITE item is always the rice. It's buttery and just always hits the spot. The ambiance and service are always lovely. Definitely always a happy camper when I go here! Can't recommend Sultan's enough!!! read more

I wanna start off by saying, I really don't like Thai, Indian, German, or Turkish food. HOWEVER, this food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and pleasant, and I highly enjoyed the ambiance with a mixture of music choices, from American to Turkish. My Turkish friend ordered the Iskender Kabab and allowed me to try some, and it was sooo good!! I ordered some Pita with Hummus and it's the best I've ever had. For dessert she ordered some Kunefe (very interesting dessert) and I had a cinnamon milk roll, and tried some dubai chocolate for the first time!! I will be taking my bf here in the future. read more

We came on a cold day so sat inside for the first time in a booth, and it was nice!

Service is good at the cash register. read more

I've been dying to try this place after hearing so many of my neighbors rave about it online (and honestly watching the characters on Ted Lasso eat kebabs, ha!) Great ambiance, generous portions, and fresh food. The staff is friendly and always helpful, which is plus. Parking can be tricky since it's located in downtown Livermore but they do have designated customer parking in a shared lot. The best thing is they are open until 11:30 pm each nice which is useful for a late night cravings! read more

Still a great experience every time we visit. I've been loving the chicken kabob plate lately: the chicken is tender, the rice has almonds, and the hummus is amazing! read more

I went here 3 different times, I live in San Jose so I make the drive out for the delicious food. I like the interior and the vibes, the service is great. The food is amazing, the kabobs were juicy and cooked perfectly, the salad is refreshing to cleanse your palate, and the rice and hummus just pairs so nicely with the kabobs. All the dishes on their menu are worth the try and I can't wait until they open their Campbell location. read more

Great spot for delicious Turkish/ Mediterranean food. I really enjoyed the shawarma salad, Lahmacun, and Turkish delight. Large outdoor seating space for eating outside on a warm evening.

This is my and my bfs spot we come here at least once a month and have never been disappointed. We were so glad when we saw this location opened because we would go to the Pleasanton on before and didn't have great experiences with the staff the food was always great though but when we saw this location open we gave it a try and have never had any issues with the staff or the food the staff at this location is always so friendly and welcoming along with who I assume is the owner who walks around checking on tables and is just a super friendly guy. We absolutely love this place read more

Always had a delightful experience here! And the owner's hair is fantastic! But anyway anyway! More importantly! The food is delightful. A nice couple recommended this place to me, and even though it was a bit later (past 9pm is later at my age), the owner greeted us quite enthusiastically! Before I even noticed the food, I noticed the bar. I was a bit surprised to find such a well stocked bar, but hey a win is a win I suppose! We ordered at the front, and after a brief wait and amusing banter with the bartender, our spoils arrived! Sooo...the food was fantastic! The beef and lamb were so tender and juicy. And the pickled veggies really hit the spot. Prices are a bit high, but definitely a quality experience! read more

Review #874 Posted on 4.16.25 We came here after bowling for a bite on Saturday the 12th. This spot is on the corner of 1st Street right across the street from the movie theater. The place was packed, and this was around 10:40 pm. They have a ton of options to choose from. We ended up splitting the garlic fries and a chicken swarma. The garlic fries had this like orange colored dipping sauce, honestly I don't know what it was, but it was smacking. The swarma was fresh, and really tasty. There's tons of places to sit outdoors or inside. Outdoors was still warm enough, and had big tables together for bigger parties. They have hookah here too. We'll definitely come back for sure. read more

I've been coming here for years and I've always had a great experience with the place. This time I got the falafel plate and the chicken Shawarma plate. The plate has so much meat and it's a great value for the price. The inside eating area and outside eating area is very clean. The outside eating area also has heaters for those cold days. Service area, top knowledge and they help with questions you may have about the menu. read more

My partner and I have been coming here frequently since they opened. Every time we visit is a 5 star visit. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. Everything is clean and orderly. They have self serve water and piping hot tea. Ordering is easy, you order and pay at the counter and take the table number back to your seat of choice. Food comes out looking exactly like what you order. Beautiful every time. I feel like a lot of places get away with leaving things out from what was pictured on the menu. I enjoy the combo shish plate and salad. I can never choose between chicken and beef because they're both so flavorful and juicy. The chicken shawarma plate never misses. Don't forget about the white yogurt sauce! I'm not sure what it's called but it's delicious. Their desserts are to die for and they have a wonderful selection. My favorite is the rice pudding. Rice pudding is one of my favorite desserts and this one is one of my favorites so that says a lot about it! I love that they're open late! Parking is a little hard but they have a tiny parking lot and plenty of street parking. You might have to walk a bit but I promise it's worth it! read more

We are big fans of Sultan's and usually go out of our way to visit the Pleasanton location because the quality and consistency are always excellent. Unfortunately, today we chose the Livermore location purely for convenience--and it was a huge mistake. After getting on the freeway to head home, I opened the falafel and immediately noticed it was brown, extremely grainy, and nothing like the usual falafel we're used to (which is green inside, fresh, and flavorful). I called the restaurant and specifically asked if the recipe had changed. I was told no, and I was assured that if I returned, the falafel would be the usual green inside. I turned around, drove an extra 20 minutes in traffic with my kids, only to be told when I arrived that they were out of parsley--which clearly explains why the falafel was brown. This should have been communicated honestly during the phone call instead of assuring me the product would be different. While they did refund the two falafel items, we still paid for the rest of the food. Overall, it's frustrating that two locations under the same ownership can feel like completely different restaurants. The difference in quality and consistency is very noticeable. If you're a true Sultan's lover, I strongly recommend going to the Pleasanton location. The difference in freshness, quality, and overall experience is night and day. read more

Amazing portions. Great food! I appreciate that it's one of the places in downtown Livermore that stays open late!

We wanted to check out this restaurant because of the number of stars and reviews but we were disappointed. We ordered the following: Combination chicken and lamb shawarma 2/5 - although the meat was tender there was no flavor in the chicken and lamb. Hummus was just ok in taste. The salad and rice were nice. Overall we felt the dish was subpar and not worth the price. Pide - half beef and half lamb 2.5/5 - the meat was tender but flavor was lacking. Sadly the white and red sauce didn't help enhance the flavors either. The bread was soft and warm. Complementary tea was a nice touch! Ambiance: has the vibe of an oasis within a disco club. Staff was friendly! read more

My family and I dined for dinner and ordering at the counter was easy. Glad they had hardcopy menus because the board font is too tiny. No one ahead of us :) After we ordered, a hoard of about 15 people walked in and the line was SO long. I imagined they just came from the movie theater across the street. I think if I'd seen that line, I would've just left because, hangry. We ordered entrees + fries + baklava. The fries were freshly fried and salted just how I like. Generous portion for 4 to share. I just wish they had came out with our entrees. Would've gone good with my shwarma! The time in between was a bit too long too. The lamb was a bit gamey for me..I should've got beef instead. The white sauce in the bottle and the spicy sauce helped a bit. My husband's beef kabob was delicious! And the rice was buttery and tasty! Everyone's portions were generous, I even had it for lunch the next day. The owner was friendly as well! read more

Wow wow wow, how am I only just discovering this place?! I came here for lunch and was blown away by their generous - and delicious - portions at such an affordable (well, Bay Area affordable) price! Other places charge $22+ for rice platters with just 1-2 lamb skewers. Sultan's lamb shish platter, on the other hand, comes with 4 skewers for $19. It's such a steal, I almost want to gatekeep it . The place is pretty casual and service was good. Undoubtedly, this place will be one of my go-to lunch spots in Livermore. I just wish they'd expand into other parts of the East Bay, like Fremont . read more

We came in for a late dinner on a Friday evening and were seated in the outdoor seating area right next to the blaring DJ! We had small kids in our group and requested we be moved inside. We had a to wait 10mins but were moved inside! The food came quickly and was tasty! Pretty standard Mediterranean food. The lamb kebabs could have been softer and juicier. Probably a good place to celebrate an occasion if you like loud music and want to dance. Definitely not ideal if you're looking for a quiet peaceful dinner :) read more

My honey and I have been going here since they opened and we even were there on their year anniversary, drinking tequila with the owner! Obviously, we love it because not only is the ambiance with the bar, outdoor patio and red lighting very hip, but the food is delicious with incredible flavors and tender meats. I've tried many things on their menu and have never been disappointed. I definitely have some favorites though, and with the (pisco?) sour cocktail! Mmmmmm! They have an area with ice water and hot tea-as much as you want-and their tea is so yummy, I even drink it in summer. The food is fresh, made to order and everyone there has always been so nice and polite, and friendly too. Especially the owner! I really can't say enough positive things. If you've never been, try it, you'll love it, like we do. (Tip: You should try a pide & do half/half so you can try 2 kinds.)We will be back again soon! read more

We've been eating at Sultan Kebab for years. First at Pleasanton then Livermore. This last visit was with a Turkish friend. We let him order for us & we got to try new dishes! The Iskender & Beyti Kebabs were delicious. The beef was tender & seasoned well with a slight bite but not spicy. The Iskender had beef over pita bread. Different but yummy. The flat breads were like pizza but flatter & crunchier. Turning the Lacmanuh into a wrap was fun. We would never have known about this without our friend we would've missed out. Service is simple. Orders are taken at the counter. A number is set on the dining table & food is brought to this. The owner was friendly to our friend & spoke with familiarity. It would have been nice if he acknowledged our presence, too. A simple, "How did you like the food?" would have been appreciated. The restaurant has a casual & comfy feel. The bar adds a touch of elevation though. read more

***pick order experience btw not dine in The actual spot looks super cool! The red lighting, the logo on the floor when you walk in, and chill bar area. Dude that helped us with our pick up order was helpful and cool. Food, well, I didn't even take pictures. The chicken wings, are wings, but they are flavorless and just grilled. The chicken shawarma wrap is, also, just tasteless. Maybe my boyfriend and I just need try something else on the menu, but we are honestly very surprised to have flavorless meals. read more

10 stars out of 5 for this place! I went here with my sister for my first postpartum meal out and i will forever remember this. I haven't come across a falafel place this delicious in a long time. I'm so glad this is so close to my house that I can go here very often. I tried it with my sister the first time and the food was so good, that we went back in 2 days with the whole family. The falafel wrap is my favorite here along with the white rice which was heavenly. We met the owner and he was extremely nice and recommended a few things to us. The entire staff here is very friendly and helpful. This is def my new go to place for Mediterranean food and I can't wait to go back! read more

My co worker wanted to try this place and I love middle eastern food so wanted to give it a try. I'm picky about my hummus and falafel, but always open to trying new places. And honestly, this place did not disappoint! I order the chicken plate and the chicken was cooked to perfection! Not dry at all and flavored very well. The salad was crisp (not soggy) and had a nice touch with pickled turnips on top. The hummus was creamy and very delicious. I also tried one falafel and it was amazing! Crunchy on the outside and softer on the inside, my favorite! The owner, Fawzi, asked if we wanted Knafe also. Of course I had to try that at well and it was delicious! Fawzi even graciously gave us some home made bread that he had just made. Hot and delicious! My chicken plate was more than enough so had to take a good portion of it home. Everything was absolutely amazing - the food, service and ambiance/decor. Thanks Fawzi! We'll definitely be back :) read more

Had an evening well spent here. All meat were tender, juicy and tasty. Deapite the generous serving, their salad is like a palate cleanser leaving you wanting to scoop some more of those meat... But my favorite is the lamb shank... aside from tender and juicy, the sauce is so delicious. You order and pay at the counter, then they deliver you food at your table. Staff were attentive.

I love Sultan's Kebab. We scored because we found front door parking for free without waiting too long. It was nice outside in the warm Summer weather, so we chose to eat on the patio. The patio is beautiful and a nice calm area to look at all of the decorative details. Sultan's is one of my favorite restaurant chains. I usually order the combination appetizer. It is my favorite dish because it's so light and healthy with manly portions! Because it's all vegetables, I can finish it as my entree, and feel good about eating well. I loved the customer service. They were so friendly and knowledgeable!! Also, the wine selection is pretty decent. read more

Sultan's Kebab - Combination appetizer - Mediterranean Near Me - Livermore, California

What a gem! We were passing the town and wanted to find something relatively healthy and reasonably priced. Sultan's definitely fits the bill. Located in the beautiful Livermore downtown treelined street, finding a passing is easy. We ordered the food at the casher first then was given a table sign to find our own seats. Their side patio is bright, airy, and decorated nicely. The food! That's the best surprise in today's visit. We got: - Combo shawarma (chickenand lamb) salad. The portion is huge (I appreciate it), packed with meats, avocado, pickles...etc. Lots of healthy goodness!!! - 2 side dishes, baba ganoush and cucumber yogurt salad. I just love the smoky flavor of baba ganoush! The portions of these side dishes are generous too! - Meat pide. Basically, it's a thin crust pizza/ flat bread dish. Tasty too. It's a bit funny to see the inside decorated as a nightclub with a big flashy bar in the center and red velvet drapery. I should ask the ppl working there next time when I visit. Services is good and friendly. They come by to check on us a couple of times, although we need to get our own water/ tea. It's kind of semi self service which I don't mind it at all. Will highly recommend this place! read more
