    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.

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    Kunefe

    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!

    Iskender Kebab, Hummus & Pita
    Victoria R.

    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.

    Lamb Shank
    Yoon K.

    We came on a cold day so sat inside for the first time in a booth, and it was nice! Food was amazing, the portion sizes are always very generous and the lamb shank is SO GOOD when you just want some warm soupy meaty meal. The lamb meat literally falls off the bones. Service is good at the cash register.

    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.

    Combo Shish Plate
    Janine F.

    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!!!

    This one was a big surprise ! We decided to go in after looking online for Turkish cuisine place and were very pleased ! The place is huge . We got the lachmajun (excellent and crispy ) and the pide (very nice portion and yummy) . I also got Turkish coffee which I very much enjoyed . They will be opening another location In Campbell and we will for sure visiting

    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!

    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!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon when the restaurant was nearly empty, yet staff repeatedly walked past our table without acknowledging us. There was no greeting, no update, and very little attention from anyone. When we finally received service, the staff seemed distracted and uninterested. After a long wait, the food arrived lukewarm, with stale fries and the appearance of an order that had been sitting around or reheated. Watching food sit before being served is extremely frustrating, especially when you are already waiting far longer than expected. To make matters worse, the order was incorrect, and there seemed to be little interest in fixing the problem. We have been coming here for years, which makes the decline even more disappointing. Dining out should be relaxing and enjoyable, not an experience where you feel ignored and leave angry. Sadly, we won't be returning. There are now so many better options in Livermore with better food, warmer service, and staff who actually value their customers.
