Sultan in Angus

High quality food, really warm welcome and great service. Highly recommend you eat here if ever visiting Forfar.

Great place as food super, decent prices.

Celebrating Ruby wedding anniversary with our 3 month ild grandson, and his mum n dad, suçuk rules 😊

First time I've been here, definitely be back, food is marvelous 😀

I have been going to the Sultan for over 27years and have never had a bad meal from them. Staff are always friendly, I can't recommend it enough!

Excellent food. Lovely staff. Marvelous comfortable place to eat. Fully recommend a visit if you can 👌😁

Always a delicious meal here, friendly and welcoming staff and great atmosphere.

Went here on Tues to celebrate my 60th, from the moment we walked in friendly welcome, there was happy birthday lights on table my friend organised balloon at my seat. Taken to the table ordered Turkish shot, aniseed flavour I cant remember the name and bottle of prosecco. We were given few minutes when waitress took out order, We both ordered Sucuk my favourite comes salad spiced onion sausage and warm pitta bread is very tasty, then I ordered Yogurtlu kebab with pitta, my friend had Karasikizgara normally served with rice she had swap rice pitta bread not problem plates come very hot but your are warned it kept the meal hot though out, I never had sweet but friend had baklava did have small bit try. Then my cake came out. The food was fantastic very talented female chef. If you want fantastic food and service I would recommend Sultan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 star

Staff are so friendly and talkative. Have sat in once and had takeaway a number of times both have been amazing, cannot fault the food in any way at all so tasty full of flavour.

Love a Turkish meal meant to keep half for the next night but had to eat it all was just so delicious!

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

Awesome food always love a Turkish

Was recommended to go here and what a disappointment. We ordered a takeaway, early Saturday evening, we walked in and was NOT made to feel welcome, The food was sloppy, lacked flavour I don't even think the bin would enjoy it. The hummus tasted store bought not a single inkling of Turkish flavourings or spices and for the price a complete rip off. I certainly wouldn't recommend takeaway. Completely overpriced for what we received.

And again the meals were excellent 👌

If you've never had Turkish food, you can't go wrong with the offering from the Sultan Restaurant! We've dined here for over a decade and have never been disappointed! If you're not sure about the cuisine, have a look a their menu on their website; it's pretty descriptive. Their take away is fantastic; I usually order the Iskender Kebab.

Food always top notch, expensive on takeaway but always tastes excellent!

Excellent food and service. 5 ⭐🌟

Great little place! Love going here, food is always delicious and staff always friendly and welcoming. Can highly recommend!

Delicious food, same menu for years. Never needs to change as excellent.

Best Turkish ever. Highly recommended

Lovely small restaurant. Good atmosphere. Marvelous food and very good service reasonably priced.

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

First time here . Food excellent

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

Service very good, food very good, do not take table for 4 next to service counter, a lot of customer movement kind of spoiled the meal. Other than that, worth a visit

It does exactly what it says on the tin. No disappointment comes from low expectations

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 consistent quality Keep it up guys your Brill 5 star Best restaurant in forfar

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.

Forfar institution. Exceptional food.

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

Good food and good value too. Nice people as well.

Rude staff. Expensive barbecue food

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 had food from there very disappointing lamb on a bed of rice with watch tasted like some tomato puree on top absolutely disgusting won't be back

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

Lovely Turkish Restaurant in Castle street Forfar Scotland. Will go back when back in Forfar

This is the best restaurant in Forfar. Food is cooked in sight of all the diners so that you can see what you are getting

Food was excellent. Great atmosphere and service.

Delicious! Excellently run small restaurant. Thank you Sultan. We will be back.

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!!

The very best authentic Turkish restaurant I've had the pleasure of visiting....an outstanding meal....

Fantastic fresh and tasty food, friendly staff. First time there and will be back.

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!

Great little restaurant, big portions, great service and usually busy

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 !!!

Excellent food, as always. Great service even though the place was full, waitress was very attentive without being obtrusive. Well worth a visit, but if you're thinking of going at the weekend make sure you book a table.

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.
