SO. GOOD. Have had takeout two times now, and I have yet to find something I don't like. The food is beautiful and wonderfully cooked. Must visit, for sure.
Walk in and try to sit down on a busy night. This place is in the grove on the corner so do your best with street parking if the lot behind the restaurant is full. The staff is small so you won't have a dedicated server. You can gesture to anyone and they will ensure your orders are placed. Another interesting thing is that they do not sell alcohol or standard drinks Americans would be used to, so try their pomegranate lemonade. Unfortunately my food was not as flavorful as it looked so that was a bummer. The deserts were excellent so that helped my sweet tooth. This place is not 100% accessible as the entrance is rather narrow.
Came here on a local recommendation and we're so glad we made it a priority on the foodie hit list . Absolutely delicious. Great service and so many options for my veg heads . Order everything ! That's my suggestion. Limited Indoor seating only.
I'm very close to saying Sultan is the best Mediterranean restaurant in St. Louis except I haven't experienced them all. However it is the most amazing I've had thus far. The service is prompt, pleasant & personable. It's a family owned business with family feel. Food is absolutely magnificent! Super fresh, flavorful & lovely presentation. Everything from carnivore to vegan options are available in entrees as well as dessert. Walking in is like stepping on onto Mediterranean soil. Decor is stunning & very inviting. Plentiful portions so save room for takeaway or delicious house made dessert l. -Christy
I was craving Mediterranean and found this place to try out with a friend for a weekday lunch. Quick parking tip: they have their own lot with limited customer spots, so no stressing about street parking! The interior is really nice and well decorated, and the space felt clean. Seating probably fits around 25 to 30 people. I ordered the beef kabob plate and my friend got the chicken kabob plate and it hit the craving we had. The beef was a little on the saltier side but you can balance it with the rice it comes with. We both cleaned our plates and left satisfied! Staff was friendly too. I'd definitely come back to work through some of the starter appetizers next time. Overall a solid recommend.
Glad we happened upon this Mediterranean spot while walking around. We were unsure what we wanted but this really hit the spot. We figured they had to be good due to the amount of people waiting for to go orders and how packed they were! They were cleaning off tables as soon as people left so we could be seated. We got sat within 5 mins, the workers were very friendly. It took a while for us just to get water and our Turkish coffee, and food being cooked fresh didn't take terribly long. Everything was fresh, seasoned well, the lamb chops were so tender. Rice was nicely spiced and everything just paired nicely together. Portions were large too. It was just a good dinner and prices weren't crazy either. Great spot. Nice bathrooms and clean interior and not too loud! Worth checking out for sure.
Sultan Mediterranean is a restaurant located in the grove. I recently visited and got takeout. I enjoyed my meal quite a lot! I got the mixed grill which included a variety of different kabob meats, rice, and a tomato/cucumber salad. The meal was a bit pricy but I do think it was worth it.
Kurdish, Mediterranean, Palestinian, Turkish. Whatever genre, Sultān is 5*. We wandered in off the highway, it was near our hotel as we were passing thru on the way to Tucson. Thanks Yelpers. We shard Lentil soup, Saksuka, Munto, and Mom's rice pudding. Added in the lemonade, mint, and pomegranate drink. Each dish was unique and bursting with flavor. If I lived in STL, I'd be here once a week. Beautiful environment. No beer, wine, or spirits for religious reasons. We were ably served by Soleen, the daughter of the owner and chef. I know they have a stellar local rep, and we are glad we were able to experience Sultān.
Located in the Grove, parking can be tricky because of street parking, but they have a small lot in the back for customers. I thought it would be busy but even on a Saturday lunch, it wasn't too busy. We got a table very quickly. Service is great, and food came out very fast. They have an interesting menu that's a little different from other Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I thought the taste was overall average at most, but portion size was huge. I enjoyed the lentil soup that was included!
The photos don't do this place justice. I went for lunch with a girlfriend and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. From the posh tea set, to the beautiful ambiance (soft chatter, lovely decor), to the sweet server that checked on us right at the second bite ( IYKYK).. we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Let's get into the meals! I'm currently fasting and need to choose my meals wisely. There were more than enough veggie-based items. We both had the Misala version of our curry but mine was more spicy. 10/10! My friend enjoyed hers (non-spicy) so much that she muttered that it was "the best meal she's ever had". High praise to a woman that frequents some of the best gala experiences. There's a larger dining area if you need a party and the checkout process is not done at your table to no issues with bill pay or waiting for the check. The pictures will tell the tale .. but you MUST see for yourself!
Was out and about for some Mediterranean food and was referred to Sultan Mediterranean Restaurant. Located in the Grove, Sultan brings an incredible experience of Mediterranean cuisine and great service. We visited on. Saturday afternoon and was able to get a table without any problems. Sultan provided a very intimate setting but can also host larger groups if needed. Our server provided some refreshments while we reviewed the menu and took the opportunity to try some appetizers before our entree's arrived. Highly recommend the Hummus and Fattoush Salad. Both were prepared with the freshest ingredients. Our entrees were also served hot and seasoned perfectly. Generous portions made us take home most of our meal as the appetizers filled us up. Service was great and restaurant was very clean. Will be bringing the family back very soon and this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend Sultan Mediterranean Restaurant, a great experience with reasonable prices.
Phenomenal Mediterranean restaurant in the grove. 10/10 must try! Interior decor compliments the cultural food and flavors served. Service was quick and friendly--table service with payment at the counter upon finishing dining. Several of my friends have implemented this spot as a weekly staple and favorite! Food is very authentic.
Service a bit slow and was was the wait for the food. When it came out it looked delicious. Rice and "salad" was wonderful. I rarely get meat, usualy only when I travel. Thr lamb was great, chicken very good, but thr beef was disappointing. It was dry and hard. The price for thr same type of meats was lower so I found it a bit hard to justify thr price jump. I expected it to be higher just not that much higher from their top price.
I went with a girlfriend for dinner over a month ago and I'm still thinking about these dumplings. The only tiny critique we have, we were there on a Saturday around 730/8, they don't seem to have a good queue system. What I witnessed, was my cell number was typed into what appeared to be a personal cell, as opposed to a wait system, and then we never got called/ texted. We were watching the people in front of us get tables, then we asked if our name got lost, and immediately got sat. After that, 0 comments, food came out at a reasonable time. My eyes kept being drawn to these dumplings, usually I'm a low carb kind of person, so I was leaning towards the kebabs. But these dumplings kept calling my name. The sauce was so good. Creamy with a hint of dill, refreshing, with the savory ground beef inside. I definitely finished my plate and left the rice for leftovers. I can't wait to take my boyfriend back and get the dumplings again! My friend also really enjoyed her shrimp curry, I got to try a taste, the sauce was also delightful. read more
Our little supper club came in for dinner on Saturday. They do not take reservations but the wait was worth it. Our party got there a little before 6. We waited around 20-30 minutes to get a table to accommodate the 7 people in our party. We stood around by the entrance while we waited. When we were finally seated, they put us on the second dining room which has a better ambiance and much more quieter than the main dining room. Someone brought us a pitcher of water which fell slightly short of giving all 7 of us full glasses. Some of us ordered their lemonade mix. I had the one with pomegranate which tasted fresh and made in house. We shared 3 different appetizers: babaganoush, hummus and saksuka. They brought us a basket of naan. They were huge and still warm. The only thing I would have asked for would have been that the naans be cut into smaller pieces so people are not touching naans that others will have to eat. Our appetizers were all excellent. The babaganoush, specifically has fantastic flavors. This might have been the best babaganoush I have ever tasted! For my entree, I ordered the lamb kabob served with some dressed rice and salad. Okay, usually I don't care for rice. It's bland and pretty boring but they actually seasoned their rice here so well that I've completely forgotten I was eating rice. The kabob was so flavorful like it has been marinating for a while. The meat was tender and juicy. We didn't do any dessert as we were all very full in the end. At least 4 out of 7 brought home leftovers. My one friend had made a comment about his pilau being larger than his head! Service was good. You pay up front. If you come in with a large party and ask to split the check, they charge $1 per card. We asked to have our bill split 7 ways and then 2, 2, 2 and 1. She said she understood but then did the math wrong anyway. We didn't bother and just paid the even quarter split and my friends refunded me the difference. Other than a few nuisances, it was a great dining experience. No joke, this place has some seriously good eats. And to be honest, I can't wait to come back! read more
Last night, I stopped by Sultan Mediterranean before heading over to Word Up at Hot Java Bar. I'm glad I joined the waitlist when I did, as the wait was a bit longer than expected even on the list. The ambiance inside was like a cozy cafe with Mediterranean vibes, especially at the register. We were seated and already knew what we wanted. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, and the mint in the lemonade was refreshingly delicious. For my meal, I opted for the Chicken and Beef Combo. The grilled chicken kabob was incredibly tasty, and the beef kabob was bursting with flavor. It was served with rice, grilled tomato, and a cucumber and tomato salad, all of which complemented the main dishes beautifully. The tzatziki sauce was some of the best I've had in the city. This place is always bustling, and I can see why. The food was absolutely delicious, and my leftovers were just as good as they were when I first ate them. I'm already looking forward to trying more of the menu on my next visit, which will be sooner rather than later since every dish I saw looked mouthwatering. If you're searching for a Mediterranean restaurant in The Grove, you've found it. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. read more

Fantastic and fresh Mediterranean food. Everything is so flavorful and prepared so carefully. They recently redid their interior and it is really gorgeous inside. I'm not too big on hummus normally, but theirs is delicious and is a great starter paired with their nice and warm pita bread. We got complimentary lentil soup in between our hummus and entrees on this visit, which I really enjoyed. Their staff seems small, and they are normally pretty busy, especially with all their carry out orders, but it's well worth the wait. read more

We couldn't stop talking about how delish it was. Food was excellent (and beautifully arranged), ambiance was gorgeous, service was lovely. We ended up spending a ton of money on food and drinks and dessert because we wanted to try everything, but it was all really fairly priced. Coffee was a delight after dinner. Even their lemonade was incredible. This place clearly puts a lot of care into what they do. read more

It is in our neighborhood so we often go there. But closed doing remodeled space for sometime. Now we went back and ordered our food and it took a while. I get it. It's home cooked meal, so if you are in a hurry, not a good idea. I ordered pasta and my husband ordered something lamb. My pasta was delicious but halfway down, I see the pile of oils. I stopped eating cause I couldn't digest that much oil in me. If they cook me same thing without an oil, I will eat again. Personally, menu price is more expensive side than what it used to be. I understand everything is now more expensive especially grocery but I would not spend my lunch for $75. read more

I've been here several times now and I love the food. The hummus is exceptional and so is the bread. If you like good Mediterranean food you should give this place a try. The service is a little slow but the staff is friendly. Only area of opportunity might be the interior. A little update will certainly enhance the dining experience. read more

My husband was craving some Mediterranean food and it was a nice day so we found this spot in the Grove to walk around after. It was awesome. Really cool aesthetic and the servers were so nice. We split the sampler with beef, lamb, and chicken and it was fantastic. All the meat was spiced well and tasted so good. Everything we had was top notch and so fresh. We will definitely be back when we have a craving! read more
This is my second time trying Sultan Mediterranean after being underwhelmed from my first experience when I got the Munto dish. I'm glad I gave it another try for takeout recently since it changed my opinion to be more positive. I shared the Mixed Grill and Dolma dishes. The mixed grill was tasty, but I thought the rice outshined the meat, which seems like it should be reversed. I have never tried grape leaves, but I was happily surprised by the Dolma dish flavoring and was delighted to find all the veggies were all stuffed with the rice mixture. I'd say if you're in the grove, it's worth trying out and would be great place for a group to share and try different dishes to see which works for your taste. read more
Sultan remains a staple in my restaurant rotation of casual eats that's good for any occasion. Located in the Grove where restaurants are plenty, Sultan stands out for me. Mediterranean food is not usually what I go for, but I was pleasantly surprised during my first visit. I have gone back several times since, and have yet to be disappointed. The service is always amazing and the food may take a little extra time to get out, but is worth it. I have tried the trifecta of lamb on the menu including the lamb shank, lamb kabob, and lamb chops. Maybe I'll branch out a bit more next time I go, but why get something different if it is that good?! read more

A beautiful corner restaurant in The Grove. I loved the way the natural light entered the dining area. The staff were attentive and kind. During the lunch hour when you order an entree you are served a bowl of Lentil Soup. If you are dining after 3 pm order you a dish because it pairs well with their entrees. I enjoyed the Chicken Kabob plate. The rice and grilled tomato salad made this dish filling. The Munto dumplings were my favorite out of the few dishes we ordered. We ordered the chicken strips and fries for our toddler. This is something we get often so it was noticeable that it took him a few meals but he ate the serving in its entirety. I would recommend this location for dates, time out with friends, or for families. read more

Walked into the restaurant, and I was immediately hit with the intoxicating scent of cooked meats and a wonderful aroma of smoke. Overall, the staff was very kind and welcoming. Ordered the mixed girl and chicken biryani. The Mixed Grill is a delightful combination of flavors. The beef kabob, chicken kabob, and lamb kabob are well-seasoned and grilled to perfection. Each meat has its unique taste, but the beef kabob especially was the standout. If I could go back, I would definitely order more of the beef if I could. The accompanying rice is fluffy and complements the meat well. The salad is fresh and adds a refreshing element to the dish. In terms of the chicken biryani, the rice and meat were both fragrant with a good amount of delicious spices. It was overall well-seasoned and balanced. Overall, this place is delicious. Dishes were flavorful, and I can't wait to come back to try the other dishes. 4/5 stars. read more
Simply the best Mediterranean place I've been to in STL. Sultān offers a wide range of items on the menu. I went with a group. We asked many questions since it was our first time here. Our waitress was very helpful and patient answering each of our questions. We ordered Hummus and Saksuka. Both were great appetizers. I ordered the Chicken Kabob. The portion was huge. For me, it was for two meals. Everything on the plate was delicious - the chicken, the rice, the veggies, and the flavors. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely return and try more items from their menu. read more
