Sultan in Angus

Excellent meal. Good sized portions. Friendly staff. Open kitchen so you can see the food being prepared.

Had tried this last year for a takeaway when we found them to have poor portion sizes. I had hoped that things had changed but sadly no. The food was nice, the kizartma great but I could have eaten more and I’m not a big eater! Please improve your portion size and we’ll become regulars

Had both carry out and sit in recently, both excellent . Lovely flavour , presentation, tasty and on a par with Agacan which is no mean feat. Staff all very friendly and courteous and respectful with social distancing , wearing full mask etc. By far the best restaurant in Forfar, would advise booking table in advance.

A busy wee place. Nice decor and a very nice waitress. All the staff mingle and chat. We had a fantastic meal, all the food was beautiful. We had no complaints. The fact the menu has not changed in many years proves that it is a winner. If in town, go try. Would advise booking though. 👍👍

Great food Great Service Friendly and helpful staff. It’s busy and it’s a wed evening at 6:00pm. So the secrets out this is a great place to eat 😊🍸🍽

First time I had been to Sultan and went with family for an evening meal. The place was busy but we still got excellent prompt service and the staff were very pleasant. The food was excellent and arrived well presented and very tasty. Wouldn't hesitate to return as was a excellent meal.

Went for birthday meal with my lady, excellent service from lovely staff. Efes beer 👍. Food was well presented and thoroughly enjoyed, well flavoured. Defo go back

This is such an excellent restaurant the Turkish food looked good and tasted soooo good and such generous portions we were a party of four two couples the staff so cheerful and happy the manager so helpful it was a Turkish experience in Forfar

I'd heard some mixed reviews about the Sultan restaurant. However, as one of the only restaurants open on a Sunday evening in Forfar and with an unexpected guest, I tentatively decided to visit this restaurant. I was very disappointed in both the food and service. The food was a poor imitation of Turkish food and the meal was very rushed. There was a strong urgency detected from the manager for us to finish up and leave quickly. We duly paid up and upon leaving we were met by the owner dumping rubbish bins and cardboard recycling all over the pavement. This made it impossible to use the pavement. This is absolutely ignorant for not just customers but all types of pedestrians. There's no way I would visit again nor recommend The Sultan in Forfar. A mediocre meal topped off with appalling customer service.

At the last minute, we decided we fancied going for a meal. They were very helpful and managed to fit us in. The place was very busy but the food and service were great. Very good atmosphere and never felt hurried, even though we had been fitted in. The restaurant and toilets were spotless.

Excellent meal on a Saturday night with a friend. My first visit here, after hearing lots of positive things about the place, and I wasn’t disappointed! Will be back!

Great food and very friendly staff. Clean and you can see your food being cooked. Very reasonably priced food and great atmosphere.

I think the place is 'f'ing horrible I recommend it;) jkkjlkjkljlkjlkjlkjlkjlkjljlkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlkj all seriousness place was very nice but owner gets agro very easily

Food was lovely but portions were very small and prices steep. Only £3 more to eat the same dish in restaurant! Would sit in but not willing to pay the cost of takeout again...sorry...

My daughter treated me to dinner here recently. Our food was excellent and cooked to perfection.Piping hot too Attentive service from start to finish.

The restaurant was very busy on Friday night and we had to return at 8 o'clock. Booking recommended. The starters and the main courses we chose were both excellent. We very much enjoyed our meal.

I’ve just had a nice meal here which I really enjoyed. Nice menu choice and all very reasonably priced. Good service definitely recommend

I'm a bit baffled by the two previous poor reviews, as they certainly didn't tally with our experience at the Sultan. The food was lovely and fresh and while maybe not quite the same as you'd get in Turkey (we've been going there twice a year for about 15 years now), it was certainly what I'd describe as authentic - and very tasty too. The staff were all very friendly - including the young lad who served us. No complaints from us!

Just dined in the Sultan "Turkish" Resaturant 3 Hours ago and whilst our server was very pleasant and polite unfortunately the meal was not what we were expecting, mixed meze to start served with a sliced up Pita bread not Pide or even Ekmek as you would expect, the mezes themselves were uninspiring consisting of store bought humus, tinned or bottled Kuru Fasulye, a smear of mixed salad Yaprak Dolmas out of a tin and tasteless ayse fasulye (green beans) topped with a cheap nasty plain yoghurt For mains we ordered Sultan special kebeab which the ladies said was ok just, and we had Iskender kebab, now I have eaten Iskenders all over Turkey and here in the UK and its always been sliced Donner served on chopped Pide with a tomato and a yoghurt sauce accompanied with rice and salad this one turned out to be chicken shish, donner and some kind of adana kebab served on a bed of rice (no pide) with a tomato sauce and once again the same cheap nasty plain yoghurt with a trickle of salad on the side of the plate, not that this version tasted bad in fact it was rather tasty (apart from the yoghurt) but certainly it was not even close to authentic and therefore a bit of a let down. The whole meal came across as a British persons amateur attempt at Turkish cuisine. Please please please dont go to Turkey and expect your food to be like this because it wont, it will be fresh, full of taste and genuine.

just been for a meal with my wife and can only say it was the worst meal I have ever had wont be back was going to ask to take my meal home for my dog but he would never speak yo me again

Had dinner here Friday night not had a meal here in in over six years but wasn’t disappointed the food and service was great as usual introduced our son to to the taste of sucuk and the Iskender he loved it.

Just called in v lucky to get last available table (@ 7.30!!) lots of would be customers turned away... our advice... book! Just 3 staff that we could see doing the lot, kitchen in full view extremely high workload! Food excellent as was the service and proper Turkish coffee. Loved it!!

No hay necesidad de examen exhaustivo, comidas restaurante con todos los asientos llenos, ambiente relajado, eficiente trabajo personal como un gran equipo. . Habla volúmenes..

Food was great, staff were lovely. Relaxing mood and never felt rushed. Would recommend and we will be back

Disfrutamos de otra comida con amigos aquí. Tenía mi típico plato y plato, berenjena para comenzar luego de pollo delicioso y luego pillac siguió esto para arriba con nueces trituradas) y helados. El resto del grupo disfrutó de su elección. Una vez más, sin embargo, a pesar de reservar mesa y llegar a tiempo, nos mandaron lejos y pidió que volviera más tarde. Esto ha sucedido en otras ocasiones demasiado y prefiere que le dieron un plazo de tiempo de reserva que se fueran. Esto no mantenernos de volver como la amabilidad del personal y la calidad de la comida lo hace una noche agradable.

En mayo de 2017 con visitado esposa y otra pareja. Pedimos el plato de pollo con salsa especial" (siempre un riesgo ;-), pero deben haber sido baja en la salsa especial, ya que no sabía nada de especial y no era! Mi esposa tenía un kebab, que decía que estaba bien como mis amigos.

Mucho tiempo desde mi última visita, pero tres de nosotros conocimos para cenar y fue muy agradable. Como carne no comer, me preguntaba que mis opciones sería, y no me decepcionó. Una amplia selección de entrantes que son todos vegetarianos y un par de platos del menú principal para elegir. Creo que podría haber un par, o sin embargo muchos entrantes que desee como opción principal, pero me decidí por el caliente Turlu y quedé muy satisfecho. El servicio era rápido y amable y nadie tratando de deshacerse de usted después de la comida. Una velada encantadora.

Another fantastic meal in the Sultan.this really is a wee gem of a restaurant and well worth visiting.the food is delicious, well cooked and the staff are lovely and friendly.well done everyone.

We hadn't booked a table but luckily it was a quiet night, vegan was extremely happy to receive a full plate full. Vegetarian had a selection to pick from and even the fussy older generation found something to their taste!

Esto no tiene que ser una revisión en profundidad, la comida era deliciosa, el servicio fue rápido y preciso. Este era un lugar bastante concurrido. . . . . Miércoles! ! ! Sin duda lo recomiendo.

A great eating experience with friendly staff. Turkish food with a distinctive flavour and smell. A real Turkish coffee to finish.

I really enjoy the Sultan. I have food there on a regular basis and never disappointed. Pam and Becky really welcome you and the Kizartma and Ishkender are fab,

My wife and I have eaten in this Turkish restaurant for many, many years and it continues to be popular and busy! This is not surprising because the restaurant is well run and the food is very good. The staff are friendly and knowledge of the menu. Price wise it is competitive with other similar establishments and every time we visit we leave very satisfied. We really enjoy the experience and recommend you try it. To avoid disappointment -book in advance.

Absolutely faultless as always. Locals have known for years how lucky they are to have this on their doorstep and for visitors it is an absolute gem of a discovery!

Very good food served by very pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient staff . The restaurant is quite small so when it is busy it does feel a little cramped but eating here is still a very pleasant experience. We eat at this restaurant more than any other in Forfar.

Not been in a Turkish restaurant in a long time - It was my sister and her husband who invited us for a meal in Sultan. First impressions, busy really busy! The restaurant itself is quite small with an open plan kitchen area. Nicely decorated, but a bit dark for my personal taste. Our server was friendly and knowledge regarding all of the dishes. My husband isn't really big on lamb so he ordered what I think might have been the only chicken dish on the menu. He really enjoyed it. We all had various kebab style dishes. Absolutely no complaints - the food was lovely and decent size portions. Really lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere.

Visited the first time after several recommendations from colleagues.Reserved a table, arrived and seated very quickly. Good atmosphere, like other reviewers say - it is a small place but unlike some places it didn't feel cramped.Fast service, after being seated food was on the table within 15mins.Good choice of food and very tasty.The starter portion sizes are small, especially the meze, fork-full of each choice, if you're lucky and might as well have mixed the choices together as served on very small plate.The main courses were very good and good 'just right' sized portions.Not sure the prices match the portion sizes though.While there, the guy in the kitchen appeared to be having a go at the two female staff on several occasions - couldn't hear what was being said but the facial expressions and hand gestures were enough to know he wasn't happy. Although very unprofessional it did entertain us and the table next to us - populated by 'regulars'.Will visit again but maybe not in a hurry.

First time for me but friends (who are locals) are regulars and 'have never had a bad experience) hence their recommendation. Bit too much onion for me but friendly and efficient.

Booked a couple of hours earlier and arrived with the table already set and ready for us. Quick, prompt and attentive service and we enjoyed the food that was prepared in front of us. Turkish coffee at the end of the meal was delicious.

Ate there last night. We arrived around 7.30pm on a friday evening without booking and were told to come back in 15min. Not bad! When we came back, a table was ready for us, no problem.Starters were nice and we loved our mains. Yes it is covered in sauces etc, but it is soooo tasty. Big portions as well, i couldnt finish mine....but loved every mouthful.Would definitely go back there if we go back to Forfar.Friendly service, seems like a family business.

booked a table for 6 over a week before. No problem they confirmed on the phone, after consulting with another staff member. Turned up on the busy saturday night to be told they had no such booking! Fair enough, mistakes can happen, but we were left hanging at the front door while staff turned their back to have a discussion. Were then asked if we could leave and go for a drink somewhere else and come back in 15-20 mins and they would try and sort something out. No 'sorry', no acknowledgement a mistake was made, nothing and no confirmation they would definitely have something, as noticed another group further up waiting for a table to become free. We decided to go elsewhere and spend the £180 or so on somewhere that had decent service skills as well as good food. Having eaten here before, was wary of the tendancy they have to try and rush you through your courses and out the door after having what is an average meal where almost every main meal is covered in the exact same sauce, so won't be back and frankly won't miss it either.

3 times we have been here and found it to be shut when opening hours state it should be open which is disappointing. Then when it is open its packed and you have to wait for a table which should be a good sign however find for the cost of the food the value for money isn't there. The iskender kebab is tasty but the starters are very expensive for very little eating. Find the staff to be quite rude and felt very rushed to finish, almost like being there is an inconvenience. Would return if it is ever open or not full.

been here a few times and never been disappointed. Small restaurant, so booking is advisable for Friday /Saturday evening as it is very popular locally. A wee bit pricier than some run of the mill restaurants, but the food is fresh and cooked in view of the dining area. Turkish themed, but not your run of the mill kebabs etc. much nicer and more authentic. Meats are chicken and lamb as you'd expect but they do have some lovely vegetarian options too.

I've been using this eatery since the day it opened, a few years ago now, can't remember exactly when, I've found the food to be the same quality& standard. Especially the iskender, meal. Service and staff superb.Terry M.

If you like lamb or chicken then this place is great. Menu is nearly all Turkish food but far better than a kebabs you get elsewhere.We eat here often, never had a bad meal. Very clean, friendly staff.

Really disappointing first visit. I don't know if I visited on a "bad" night or if perhaps my idea of a quality meal is different from the other reviewers. I have heard rave reviews of this restaurant and had been so looking forward to eating there, I barely ate all day!For a starter, I ordered the halloumi. What did I get for £5.40? 3 small thin slices of grilled cheese, some wet iceberg lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato well past their best. That and the fact that it was served on a saucer and just plonked down on the table in front of me. How can you go wrong with grilled cheese? For mains I ordered the iskender selection. What appeared on the plate in front of me was a plate of boiled rice covered by a selection of kebab meats, smothered in tomato sauce and yoghurt. So much sauce that you couldn't identify what was on the plate. It resembled a car crash, if I'm honest. All this was again accompanied by some wet iceberg lettuce, tomato and onion. I'm not saying the kebabs were rubbish, they were in fact quite tasty. But the presentation and the fact I couldn't tell what was hiding under the sauce, made for a very mediocre dining experience. Determined to find at least one course that would salvage my dining experience, I opted to have a desert. The baklava to be exact. What should have been a warm light flaky pastry, turned out to be a dense cold brick that you could barely get a fork or spoon through. Two bites of this delight were more than enough and I left the rest. I ordered a coffee. What came to the table was a cup of weak black coffee accompanied by a nasty little plastic portion of "dairy free creamer". No jug of milk or cream, just a cheap and nasty subsitute. I don't know about you...but if i'm having a coffee in a restaurant after dinner, the very least I would expect is proper milk with it. The service was mediocre as the waitresses looked like they would rather have been anywhere else than there. I don't think I seen as much as a smile never mind a pleasant word.All in all, a disappointing experience for me from start to finish. While the place doesn't advertise itself as a "fine dining" experience, it should still be a quality dining experience. I won't be back to try it another night. The very fact that every course was found lacking, tells me everything I need to know about the place. I cannot understand all the glowing reviews here. My experience of the food here was quite simply, an utter disappointment.

Love this Turkish restaurant, so lucky to have it in our town. I have worked my way through the menu over the years but now always go for my favourite as its just too tasty! Chicken, lamb, donor, steak, vegetarian ...whatever your taste, it's there! Nice atmosphere and busy at weekends so I would suggest you book.

Very popular and great small restaurant. Food is always top notch and reasonably priced. Food is cooked in full view of customers and kitchen area is very cleanHighly recommended

Never disappointed at the Sultan, food delicious, cooked nice and healthy and service quick. Always busy so book to avoid disappointment.

This is a favourite restaurant of ours. The food is fantastic ; mouthwatering flavours with quick and friendly service. It's definitely worth the journey.

Enjoyed another lovely meal last night.Have never had a poor mealThe food is consistently good, which is why we return.In my mind still the best restaurant in Forfar and we have recommended it to many people over the years

Had 2 courses and house wine , enjoyed main meal , mixture of 3 meats , rice and sauce , was not keen on mezza starter ..was not for me , tired the very strong Turkish coffee, just like a double expresso. .. the waitress was polite. .average

Not really a dining experience. Been here a few times and have been rushed through 3 courses within the hour on more than one occasion. Just tried to book again as food is lovely but again been given a 75 min slot. Will take our hard earned money elsewhere! I want a night out not an hour out with indigestion !!!

Had a very pleasant evening meal once again at the Sultan.We like the mixed meze but would prefer if they were not all place on the same plate as we feel flavours and textures become intertwined.Our mains of Sultan Special and Lamb kofte were top class.We received friendly , efficient service throughout.We look forward to returning.

Visited here last year. Food and serves was all really good. Only thing is the menu hasnt changed in years but if its not broke dont fix, but maybe think about it

Go here at least once a month for a takeaway and can't fault it! Excellent quality of food, no delivery service but always a phone call once food is ready, never had a bad experience

Very good food. I loved every bite of it but my wife found some of it a little bit too spiced. Although it was very busy the waitresses seemed to take it all in their stride a did a great job. Will certainly be going back.

What can I say absolutely love it, Generally go with good friends when in Forfar, always have a good evening.

Fantastic food, beautifully presented and the service was excellent, very friendly.this place has a homely atmosphere and is totally relaxing.the lamb dish I had reminder of how lamb used to taste, tender, succulent and yumee.

Love this place and sorry but always have the same: hulomi cheese and the sultan special. It's the same menu and hope it never changes as such a selection but so so so tasty. Is a must if you are visiting forfar. If you live in forfar and have never been then you don't know what you are missing!

Just ordered a takeaway Iskender tonight it was delicious and plenty of it. Service great too got a phone call when it was ready to be picked up brilliant.

We have eaten here a few times since moving to forfar. If you can't eat gluten they are very welcomed here and the pita breads are served in a basket so you can avoid them. We have taken friends and family here and all say its sooo good. The meat is always tender and full of flavour. Its a great place to come for all the family, romantic dinners or a night out! Plus the turkish wine is great! I will be coming here for the rest of my life and I will be happy. Its great for takeaway too!

Three generations enjoyed delicious food in a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient in helping us all. We look forward to our next visit.

We have patronised this eating place regularly for years as have many local folk. We each have our favourite dishes on the menu and being able to watch the food preparation in the open kitchen is interesting. Clean, friendly and spacious with a takeaway service. Sometimes fully booked so think ahead especially if you want to go at a weekend.

Have been coming here over the past ten years the menu has not changed a bit. However it is very good tasty food. reasonable value for money.

This is a little gem situated in the town of Forfar serving authentic Turkish food freshly prepared in front of you. It's a must to phone & reserve a table as it's always busy. Lovely atmosphere with lovely artwork on the walls. Good range on the menu & fully stocked bar.

Great big portions, very flavoursome and authentic, quite expensive but fully worth it. Highly recommended

Don't get me wrong, the food was good and tasted fresh but I wouldn't go raving about it to people. Starter was really good - we had the meze (little bit of everything)and the spicy sausage. Portion was quite small but probably enough in the grand scheme of things but maybe not £10's worth. For main I ordered the Iskender kebab (mixed meats) and my partner ordered the Karasik Izgara - I have to agree with the comments of "they all look the same". There really wasn't much of a difference between the two dishes. Nevertheless the meat did taste very good - better than a kebab from a take away anyway. And the portions were pretty big - I couldn't eat all mine.We went mid-week and were the first table in for the evening so it was very quiet when we went in - didn't think there was much of an atmosphere. At this point, I would like to mention that the kitchen is open plan therefore customers can see their meals being prepared (quite a nice touch). However, another couple soon came in and, Forfar being Forfar, everyone knows everyone so this couple began a conversation with the chef...across the restaurant and rather loudly! So we had to listen while eating our starters...maybe wouldn't have minded but the chef was talking about how ill she had been over Chirstmas with snot everywhere etc. Not what you want to hear while eating a meal! But as the evening went on and more people came in, the atmosphere got better.Overall...Like the Title says, it was alright. It wasn't the best or worst meal I have ever had but I won't be rushing back.

Took my niece out for a few drinks & a meal to celebrate her 20th birthday. On arrival I felt the restaurant was cold. We were seated by a waitress who immediately tried to take orders before we had perused the menu, I tried to order a bottle of wine but the waitress was not listening & kept asking what I wanted a glass of. When I finally made my wish for a bottle of Turkish red understood she rapidly appeared with a bottle already opened. I have always felt that a restaurant which does not display an unopened bottle to the diner is hiding something but decided not to comment for fear of upsetting my niece. The wine was average. Ordering food was an ordeal as the waitress was simply not listening & showed signs that she was not interested in us. My niece ordered a chicken dish which caused no problems but I decided on a mixed dish which I pointed out on the menu. The waitress stated what she thought I wanted, I corrected her but on arrival at the table I was given her choice not mine!The food itself would have been ok if it had not been slathered in tomato puree (described as "our special sauce".A restaurant which used to be very good gives the impression of being an overpriced works canteen. The staff simply did not care & the food was at best average. Better quality Turkish fare is available along the road at Dino's takeaway at a much more reasonable price.

Every time we go to The Sultan the portions sizes are smaller. The basket of pitta bread for three persons contained 1 pitta bread cut into 4 !! Food is very good but not good value for the amount served

Been there a lot and never had a bad experience,food is first class and staff friendly.Wine selection is also good and the beer selection also,been to a few Turkish restaurants but this one is the best I have been to also do carryouts if there not to busy .

Food was excellent. Even though I don't like lamb there were lots of other things on the menu. The staff are great especially Sasha.

Fantastic Turkish food and great service. This is a fairly small restaurant and the tables are close together, in a contemporary setting. You can watch the chef cooking in the open plan setting.We've been a few times now, since we moved to Forfar, and will definitely be back on a regular basis.

We have been eating at the Sultan for many years and have never had a bad meal yet.Business colleagues from all over Britain come to Forfar and all want to eat at the SultanGreat food and nice people, reasonable cost.

The Sultan provides good food time after time but if you are intending on a large table they are most unhelpful in providing a table after 6pm.

We went to the Sultan for a family meal and were not disappointed the food was freshly cooked and very tasty and the atmosphere was warm and friendly,we would recommend it and will definitely return.

I just love the food here. Always great standard and cooked in front of you. Kids love it too. Don't think I'll ever tire of it. Highly recommended

The food was okay but it all seemed very samey to me, everybody ordered something different and it all came out looking like the same thing with the same tomato sauce?

My wife and I dine here once a year on my wife's birthday and we always have a fantastic meal. We always plan to try different dishes, but are always tempted back to the Sultan Special. The service is excellent and it always busy at the weekend, so worth booking in advance.

My family and I have been coming here regularly for almost 15 years. The food the service the price and the atmosphere are as great and as vibrant as the first day we came. Highly recommended.

As I hadn't been to the Sultan for around 25 years, I was slightly apprehensive in case standards had dropped but I needn't have worried. The food was as good as ever. As always I opted for the mezze starter, followed by the pilich special ... both were fresh and full-flavoured. My only gripe was that there was far too much pitta bread lurking under the tomato sauce, which had the effect of making the dish appear enormous when, in fact, it comprised mainly pitta bread. My friend had grilled halloumi followed by the mixed meats. Her starter seemed woefully small compared to mine, though her gargantuan main course more than made up for it! We were seated at the very back of the restaurant near the toilets - an area which was quite dimly lit and devoid of character - but it didn't really bother us. For a more romantic meal it would be advisable to ask for a table nearer the front of the restaurant. I'd definitely go again (hopefully sooner rather than later!) as the food is good, rustic and totally authentic.

Over priced , small piece nan bread on plate, topped with some donner meat , smothered in tomato sauce/ yoghurt , kebab on a plate, £12 , female cook was talking on mobile phone all way through whilst preparing diners meals , one handed food service ( open plan kitchen/ restaurant )

I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years, the food is always amazing - I haven't had a single complaint in the numerous times I've been there. The Sultan Special is my all time favourite mmmm

Menu never changes and everything comes out looking the same ....... BUT its always good, fresh and healthier than most. You have to say its reliable but expensive for what you get and how its served, certainly no frills!!!

Avoid, unless you're happy to pay about £13 for a kebab. When you order lamb cutlets at that price, you're expecting something thick and juicy, served on the bone. Not at Sultan: dry, chewy, slender, no bone. Sis kebab, also around £13, was virtually inedible. Rice is stodgy, served clumpy, straight from a hotplate; side salad is lazily thrown together on the side of your plate (regardless of what you're having); and a generic slather of tomato sauce was added to most dishes I could see in the restaurant. Service is good. But given the price they charge, the quality of the food is absolutely shameful and barely a step up from a take away. Very poor.

The Sultan is always a regular for me due to their authentic, great tasting meals that are made there and then; fresh! Always busy with a good atmosphere and you get a quick friendly service. Will never get bored of Sultan and would highly recommend it.

The Sultan is one of the, best eating places in Forfar. The menu never changes but the food is of a very high standard.

The Sultan is a lovely little restaurant in Forfar. The food is delicious and the service is very good. Everything is cooked in the open kitchen. We had the hummus for a starter which was very tasty, followed by the iskender which consists of chicken, lamb, lamb chop, rice and yoghurt and tomato sauce. It is a very meaty treat. If I had to be picky I would say that they could be a little more generous with the pitta bread - one cut up and put in a basket. I did hear a few people having to ask for more, a wee bit off putting. That aside, the food is excellent and we'll worth a return again and again.

Table booked for 5.30Arrived 5.25Told by manager?..'we are not open yet'I replied 'our table is booked for 5.30'He turned his back looked at the clock 5.26 and ignored us.I suggested we 'go wait in the car?'We left, me my 83 year old mum ..who was looking forward to eating here, and my daughter who is 13 and really likes the food. We then went and ate a delicious meal elsewhere, and they were ALL smiling.We shall not be back.And I will tell others of my experience .My advise ..Learn some manners....Its never too late

My wife and I visited the restaurant early on a friday evening. Restaurant is a nice relaxing environment, waitress was friendly and helpful as we had never visited a Turkish restaurant before. Food was fresh and tasty. Turkish coffee at the end was very good.

Ate here with friends on Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy and we had to wait 5 mins for our table. Waitresses were very polite and friendly. All our food arrived promptly and was delicious. Will be back

Here at the weekend, put at the table right next to the toilet, classy! We ordered a starter to share, I got handed a dirty side plate which I returned to the waitress. I ordered he sultan special which consisted of mainly rice, burnt peppers and onions and very little meat on the plate. When you are paying £ 14 per head, expect a lot more than this! Waitresses very rude, impatient when taking your order,scowling and you are made to feel like you shouldn't be bothering them. Won't be back here, left thus place and I was still hungry. It was more like being in the jungle with the amount of rice on the plate! Better off food wise and pocket wise going to the Chinese restaurant next door.

Used to go to the Sultan regularly about 10 years ago but became bored with the same menu year after year... a decade on, thought a re-visit was overdue. Wrong. The menu is unchanged. Presentation and value is worse. A side-plate sized "meze" starter costing £5.50 was dropped in front of me with contents glooped over plate, each part more tasteless than the next. Forget looking forward to decent helping of halloumi...wife eventually found a couple of shreds hidden under half a tomato. 3rd member of party couldn't eat hummus it was so bad (how do you make a mess of hummus?!) Main courses same old meat, presented in same old way, piled on salty, mushy rice and drowned in tomato sauce (same sauce regardless of dish!) Still no draught beer or lager available (come on! It's 2014 for heaven's sake!!! A tinny of John Smiths with my meal is really not good enough!) Only redeeming features were nice coffee to finish and waitresses were nice lassies doing their best so they still earned a decent tip. Premium prices for basic food were charged...pretty poor all round. This place needs overhauled from top to bottom!

The place was absolutely freezing and the food was awful.It was like sitting in a takeaway. Very overpriced for frozen food and 60p if you want bread ( frozen pitta ) with your meal.The mixed starter was rumbled together on a teaplate. Main courses were tasteless and very poor quality.Every single dish was smothered in tomato puree. No idea why it's called a Turkish restaurant, doesn't even resemble Turkish food. Never again, total ripoff.

We booked a table for Saturday evening and returned to a restaurant we used to visit regularly but have been absent for some time. What can I say, from the time we arrived, Pam and the staff looked after us extremely well. Polite, efficient and nothing was too much bother.The food was terrific, cooked well, very good portions and served swiftly. Starter, main, bottle of wine and coffee all for under £60, good value.I would recommend a visit if your looking for great food with a difference. BUT, remember to book to save disappointment and I would recommend an early sitting as it tends to be very busy at weekends.

The food here is lovely and very fresh tasting. Our server seemed slightly stretched and was very keen to remove our plates from our table with food still on them , it was a busy Friday so night so forgivable.Will return

This was our first visit to the Sultan Restaurant in Forfar and we were not disappointed. Booking is advisable because as it was Friday night the restaurant was very busy. Friendly waitress took our order and it was served promptly. The Donor Kebab was excellent with the meat nicely cooked without being greasy which was most enjoyable. The other dishes were equally good. We shall definitely return.

The husband and I visited here last night. Was absolutely amazing. Kizatma to start with was delicious and I had 1/2 pilic 1/2 doner. Was delicious. My hubby had iskender which he loved also. Thanks for a lovely meal.

An Adana Kebab is a minced lamb kebab, rather spicy, generally served with rice and a salad. But at Sultan's, it's a standard minced meat kebab, served for some reason on an oval metal serving dish, over a piece of pitta bread, and sluiced with half a pint or more of spicy tomato gloop, with a handful of chopped iceberg lettuce and a handful of mixed salad dropped into the mixture. An awful meal backed by charmless service. Pass this one by - and if your'e in London, head over the Harringay Green Lanes and take your pick of the Turkish places there......For what it was - extortionate.

We visited on Friday evening at 7pm without a reservation and were extremely fortunate to be accommodated at a table in what is a relatively small restaurant .The establishment was busy and there was a good ambiance throughout.Service was A1.We were delighted with our mixed meze starters and endless supply of pitta bread.The mains -2 different types of lamb kebab were lovely-and served with rice,salad and a tasty sauce.Our bottle of pinot grigio was chilled perfectly.The bill,at less than £60,was we felt,very reasonable.We look forward to returning.
