About Sultan Shawarma

The menu pairs Kurdish kofta kebab with shawarma wraps, and each wrap can be ordered in a roll or in fresh naan, so the choice of bread is yours. The chicken shawarma wrap sits alongside a mix platter served with rice, and chips come with the meal. Soup and a salad with a choice of items round out the menu. The space is small, and orders are placed at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the chicken shawarma and the mixed shawarma, which come up repeatedly as fresh, flavourful and cheap, served with fresh bread or naan. Close behind are the salads, described as full of flavour with more choice than before, along with the chips and the soup. One reviewer singles out the traditional Kurdish kofta kebab for its quality of meat. Several credit friendly staff and quicker service than in the past, and one notes tahini is missing from the wrap. Some link the new ownership to better food and hospitality, while another visitor to the new shop says the original taste is gone and quality was sacrificed for the new look. Service draws a sharper complaint from one diner, who describes a rude woman at the counter, being pushed into taking food away instead of eating in, and a manager who did not seem to care. One reviewer calls the seating like a run down cafe but says the food is the reason to come.

“I was really disappointed with my visit The shawarma wasn’t good at all—it lacked flavor and didn’t taste fresh Unfortunately after eating it I ended up with stomach pain I hope the restaurant improves its food quality and hygiene because this was a very unpleasant experience”

“Food was decent. But customer service is so poor. The lady working there who was so rude to us. We had to take away food rather than eat in as she was looking and treating us so rudely. Even complained to the manager about it but she doesn’t care.”

“"I visited the new Sultan shop today hoping for that classic shawarma, but it completely missed the mark. The original taste that made them famous is gone. It honestly feels like they sacrificed quality for their new look."”
