About Sultan Grill House
Sultan Grill House is a Turkish restaurant at 125 Charminster Rd in Bournemouth, built around a Turkish grill menu with many meat options and sides. Mixed grill platters are sized for two or three people, so a table can share a single order, and each one arrives with bread, salad, rice, chips and four sides. The kitchen cooks over charcoal, and the menu also lists lamb chops, grilled sea bass, mezze and vegetarian dishes. That range gives a group room to mix meat, fish and meat-free plates in one meal. Turkish tea is served with the meal.

Customer Review Summary
Mixed grill platters draw the most praise, with diners describing tender meat, generous portions and a platter for three that comes with a basket of bread, fresh salad, rice, chips and four sides. Grilled sea bass is close behind, described as cooked perfectly and one of the best a reviewer has eaten. Others single out the grilled chicken wings and lamb, along with homemade bread, mint sauce and coleslaw. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and several mention a clean room and good value for the portions. The one criticism comes from a reviewer who found the skewered chicken wings less juicy than they should be, though still good. The same reviewer advises arriving fully hungry because of the portion size. One party picked up food packed well for a picnic, and Turkish tea was offered to them while they waited, while another diner finished a lunch with it.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our experience at Sultan Grill House was about so much more than great food, it was a reminder of how much kindness and hospitality can elevate a trip. We stopped by right when they opened because we wanted to pick up food to take with us for a picnic during our travel. The staff welcomed us warmly, prepared our order quickly, and even offered us traditional Turkish tea while we waited. It was such a thoughtful gesture and set the tone for the rest of our day. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and packed perfectly for our journey. It made for an amazing picnic and was one of the most enjoyable meals we had during our time in England. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere of Charminster Street in Bournemouth. Out of all the places we visited during our trip, this street left the biggest impression on me. There was something special about seeing people from different backgrounds—Turkish, Afghan, Iraqi, Indian, and many others—working side by side, serving customers with genuine warmth, kindness, and pride in what they do. You could feel the welcoming energy everywhere. The wonderful customer service, the smiles, the conversations, and the incredible food all reflected the goodness of the people behind these businesses. It felt like a true community, and it made us feel at home despite being far from home. Thank you to everyone at Sultan Grill House for your hospitality and for helping create one of our favorite memories from Bournemouth. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area, and we will definitely return when we're back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
