Sultana Turkish Restaurant in Walsall

We have tried Salt’ n Pepper for the first time. The dips and fresh bread comes complementary was very nice. Food was delicious and authentic. I’ve had a lamb stew dish which was very flavoursome. The portions are big and very value for money. Decor of the restaurant was new and spacious. We would definitely return as customers.

We ate here before Covid at it was good. Really gone downhill since. We had the shared grill. It was just dip,olives and bread followed by rice and meat. When we had ate here previously there had been more salads, bread and dips. the wine was Barefoot, which you can but from a supermarket for £6.00. OK i expect a mark up but £17.50 is taking the Micheal. Oh and on another note one of the kids from the place took the mick out of my husbands walking (he is disabled) on the way in . I did retort to the child about 5-6 years old "Do you think you are funny? Would I recommend totally not.

As it was Ramadan, I decided to order a Takeaway from Sultana's to open our fast. It came up on Google as one of the closest to me and seemed to have good reviews. Terrible mistake!! I ordered the 'house special' (see picture provided) which cost me £30 delivered. Upon arrival I had to call the restaurant as it had no chicken wings. The person I spoke to said the manager would callback, which she did. I had explained that their were no wings, her response was oh sorry we have run out of wings and so gave you extra chicken pieces. I said it would have been nice to have been told beforehand as I may have decided not to order, she oh sorry I forgot! So I received a bed of rice with chunks of chicken ( which were very dry) a few pieces of lamb and 2 ribs! It came with a very basic salad ( tomato,cucumber and lettuce) and a tub of garlic sauce and bread. I don't normally bother to write reviews but I feel that people need to be aware of what they could be getting. The chicken was very very dry( it's a shame to think chickens were sacrificed for this meal) . The lamb was very salty and the ribs...all 2 of them were hard and greasy. I should have stuck to my gut instinct and ordered from our normal go to Turkish restaurant which is much more further away so would need picking up! To sum it up.. stick to your gut instincts.. don't be lazy.. go to the places you have tried and tested and avoid Sultana's at all costs!

Food was cold chicken frozen lamb chops over cooked and gristle , no traditional Turkish food , staff not even Turkish. Avoid

This was the first time we have come here to eat. The restaurant was very clean and the food was great and staff were friendly. I would recommend this place to eat out.

Sorry to have to write this but this used to be a really nice restaurant to dine in. Sadly we will no longer use it. We ate in here last night and I can honestly say the food was very poor and the quantity also. We bought this up with the waitress only to get into an argument because she thought we didn't want to pay the bill...sorry but that was the last thing on our minds ...its just sad to see another fine restaurant failing.

Food is amazing! Went with a family of seven! Service Was not good. The lady was very tight with the salad and cold starter! We are regulars and every time we go we get a different portion! The bread which is complementary, we got a few pieces. Whereas another table got a whole big basket even though they were only four. Anyway if they don’t stop with this differentiation, no matter how good the food is we won’t go back.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Unfortunately there was only one waitress working which meant there were a few delays but the quality didn’t suffer. We will definitely be returning and supporting the restaurant.

The best Turkish food walsall has to offer i must admit, I'm planing to bring my entire family here [now that's a lot of us] Amazing food and service, it was worth every penny and more can;t wait for my next visit.

My son took me to this restaurant to try Turkish food for the 1st time!! When we got there, we were told there was no chicken shish/lamb shish in the set menu as they were busy all day due to the rush for half price eat in! I’m sorry, but that’s NO EXCUSE !! You should be prepared. Despite this, we persevered and were sat down on two tables put together that rocked. So we asked to be moved. The service was absolutely appalling and we had to wait an hour before our mains were served, despite a party of 20 coming in later than us and being served 1st!!!! think we were forgotten about because the chefs started clearing the grill and my son had to remind them that we hadn’t had our mains!! Free cold rice pudding dessert was given as an apology, but lack of attention and enthusiasm from the staff and lack of food we were told was not available but was served to another party made it a truly awful awful experience!!! Will not go there or order from there again!!!!! How it is recommended on the Best of Walsall is beyond me !!!!!!

Sultana has just opened up seated dining after the lockdown period and is an independent restaurant ( not a chain ) well worthy of your local support and custom. We had the shared mixed grill which was excellent. The meat was plentiful and expertly cooked and seasoned. This was supported by lovely bulgar and rice and a well presented salad. All washed down with some well chilled Corona lager ( a shame they didn't have Effes beer this time round ). Comfortable chairs and proper linen table cloths.

We order House special last night. We usually eat house special whenever we visit them.. but due to Covid 19 we place an order to them.. It was worst Experience, they give only half box.. half box was empty.. no chops no chicken shish, no bulgur rice nothing.. they charge £29 and give food which worth only £10.. Please don’t order them.. very disgusting..

Whilst this restaurant has good intentions it is very much a work still in progress. There was little wrong with the food but nothing to justify the five blob praise other diners have bestowed upon it, four blobs being a much more realistic evalustion. Perhaps it is caught in the confusion of dining customs between order ones meal and order ones 'starters' then order ones meats or mains, much like the gap between the savoury and the desert courses in a mainstream restaurant. We had meat dishes arriving alongside the starters. The table could not accomodate the width and the quality suffered. There was also a mix up in the order ... whilst waiting for one starter to arrive we did not notice that the waitress had only heard stuffed and defaulted to vine leaves. We wanted a stuffed pepper which failed to arrive despite repeated requests. To my mind set it is somewhat impolite to order dishes by number unless one is a stranger in a strange land, such as a regional Chinese restaurant aimed at an ethnic Chinese clientel. This is a real Turkish restraurant but aiming at being a trattoria style place to eat happily and well in a multi cultural area. But to avoid ambiguity I suggest one orders by number as well as by name! It is possible to eat mainstream Turkish style, eat the Anatolian way and also in the manner of the fertile crecent cum levantine style. I was impressed by thre availability of bottles of raki/ouzo to accompany the meats after a mezze set. I was less than impressed by the mark up on the raki which was more than a trifle excessive ... but money don't matter when one is feasting I suppose. The wine came in tankard sized glasses so there was little difference between ordering it by the bottle or the glass. This is a mixed blessing. The wines wre soft easy drinkers most pleasing to the mass palate, no 'difficult sommeliers' tannins to balance the big fruits and slight backsweetening here. Most of what we ate was more than OK but five blobs, never. The grade inflation on Tripadvisor is making it a less reliable guide. It would be easy to have an extremely pleasant night dining here, but this place needs some constructive criticism to rise above four blobs. Our experience was somewhere between three and four blobs. This place is worth trying as it has the makings of a good four blob plus trattoria style eatery and a place where one can have a good night out, especially if one does want to eat Ottoman. Perhaps if I could have persuaded my more parochial companions to have a conversational dally over a mezze before an anis based convivialitry with some meat plates to share I could be raving about what a fine place this is ... but three of them do not like anis based spirits and measure their wine consumption by the glass count not the size of the glass or its abv, and what would we have done with the vegetarian. The breads and the accompaning rice and bulgar were good, as were the salad and the dipping sauces. If only these disparte tendencies could be pulled together this has the potential for becoming a damn fine eatery .. but as I said it is still a work in progress. It has nIce staff who try and know how to run a kitchen. I hope it finds appropriate constructive critisim and becoimes a place which demonstrates the excellence of Turkish cuisines as well as a being forum for a good night out in Walsall ... not exactly a high bar.

We came with my friend to order takeaway 5 portions on evening (mains- lamb, ribs, chicken with rise, and salads). The restaurant wasn't busy. Just one table but we were waiting for our food more than 30 minutes. Also we didn't check in the restaurant, but later recognized that got only one salad for these 5 portions which is disappointing. And before we left, I asked for the sauces because the chef didn't even ask or suggest to give it and the waitress was asking how many we need 3? Why 3, if we have 5 portions. Finely we got 5. Basically I can tell - the food was nice and service also not too bad for takeaway, but the economy of salads and sauces didn't impressed me. Maybe if you will eat in, it could be different. But for takeaway without salads for 60£ is slightly high price.

First visit with our friends . Fully enjoyed the evening great food and service .Will definitely return .
