The Sultan Café

Great selection of kebabs and Greek /​middle eastern cuisine. Good for lunch or mid morning snack. Check out the daily specials.

Best gyro in Portland? Absolutely! We are lucky enough to be around the corner from The Sultan Café and my family and I have been coming here for quite some time. Staff is friendly, food is amazing and service is wonderful. Highly recommend their lamb gyro– delicious!

When i got there I waited for 3 – 5 minutes before anyone took my order they were distracted highly by two orders they were working on for the two customers in the shop… Other than that the Panini was cooked fast and was a great panini to say the least.

Very good Mediterranean food! I had the Gyros Bowl… Lamb was amazing, they also serve Pannis, Burgers and Kabobs. I will be back next time I am in Portland!!!

I always go here to get lunch and smoothie. The food is great the smoothie is fantastic, the staffs are amazing. Will and Alana always friendly, help me to place the order with a genuine smile, the owner should be proud of them, they are fast and make you a good meal. I highly recommend this place for the food coffee and etc, as well as good employees.

Went here for lunch on a Wednesday around 12:30 and the place was PACKED. The one woman working the register, bringing people their food and busing tables on her own was very nice and handled the rush very well.
Ordered the lamb gyro bowl over rice for $ 7.75. It was fine, but I think I’ll stick with a gyro next time. The rice was dry like it was the last bit of a batch.
The sauce they top everything with has me feeling like a garlic fire breathing dragon at work. Hopefully no one comes to talk to me.

I got the special today, and the chicken was raw. I tried to take it back to have them fix it and they said it was the skin. I had about 10 pieces that were pink. Not the skin. No sorry I will return your food or money, just deal with it. I will never go back.

Ate the monster lamb gyro. Not really monsterous as I can finish it but it sure taste good. Love it.

The food is great but they should really update the prices on their online menu. They’ve been wrong for over a year. For example, the chicken caesar salad is $ 6.50 online but it is actually $ 8.50.

Stopped by for lunch the other day. It was interesting; what kind of a restaurant has hookah as well?
The food was pretty good. The jasmine rice was nicely spiced, and there was a nice side salad.
I wanted to lean back, but the seating uses their large windows as a seat-​back, and I thought I would break through the glass if I leaned too hard.
All in all I’d say feel free to stop by if you want a quick Gyro or similar mediterranean food for lunch. But if it is a nice day, walk a few blocks further to the food carts for a better option.

I just got an American from here. I didn’t see them tamp it down and just brush a finger across it, but thought I just missed something. After my second sip it was un-​drinkable and started hurting my mouth and stomach because I was basically drinking water and coffee grounds, which is what happens when the coffee isn’t packed correctly. Now this is bad, but I just walked back and tried explaining, in calm tones, what happened and that the coffee was un-​drinkable. The young lady told me she does tamp it down, walked back to show me, asking if I want another coffee. I said no just trying to be helpful. The small man working there then stepped forward and asked the person behind me how they could help him, basically brushing me aside. Fire that guy, train the girl, sorry to the bigger guy who works there, possibly the owner, who I actually like interacting with.
Their food is ok, coffee is bad, and service is worse. Avoid.

I love this place, the food is great and the folks that work there are always super friendly. What more could you want?!

Really excellent place! Their hummus and their falafel are TOP NOTCH, I mean like the beg damn falafel I’ve eaten. The gal at the counter is super friendly and cute and suggested the falafel to me when I told her I was looking for something without meat or dairy. I’ve gone for lunch two days in a row now and haven’t been disappointed. I’m excited to try the hummus on its own an I’m looking forward to trying the dolmas as well. Good vibes all around.

Good stuff! The hummus is great! Gyros are nothing to complain about! Good prices, good atmosphere, and decent service. $ 0.50 charge for credit cards.
I’d recommend you check it out!

Get the chicken shish kabob it comes with this yummy yellow rice and a little side of hummus and creamy dill sauce. Everything is very flavorful and the portions are good enough even if you just get one skewer.
I’ve also tried their veggie burger and it’s also delicious.
The coffee is good too.

I work down the street from this little gem. Delish. Had a gyro salad that I ate in 2.4 seconds. The lamb was moist and marinated just right, the sauce was amaze and for $ 6.99 I’ll get it again. Have heard great things from others in the office… going to need to try my first Turkish Coffee.

The Sultan Café was good!
Unlike some of the other reviewers here I had no problem using my deal voucher. I am from Seattle so if it weren’t for the Living Social voucher I never would have heard about the business. I’m glad we got to check it out on our visit.
My parents had the bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon ($ 6 each). I had the chicken gyro (around $ 6). I had the Turkish coffee and we got a couple bottled drinks.
Everyone enjoyed their food. The gyro was a bit different than other gyros I’ve had but it was tasty. The chicken was a tad on the dry side but the flavors were good. The woman helping us was nice and did a good job. I’d recommend this place!
They have a full bar and they advertise as having hookah so I assume they have an evening clientele, as well.

A panini is a special thing. When I make them at home, I take great care so I don’t put a boring sandwich on my plate. unless its for my wife, she likes boring food (but not boring men) (*man). I ordered the turkey panini with sun dried tomatoes on it. I was pretty hungry and eager to bite into my flavorful panini treat.
Man, that was the lamest sandwich I have ever had. Literally, only ¹⁄₅ of the panini had the sun dried tomatoes on it. The only thing that gave the sandwich some flavor were my tears that were pouring onto it. It was so bland.
I didn’t actually cry.
But I sure wanted to.

There is nothing like a soothing cup of hot tea after having to endure such pain. I won’t go into detail except to say it hurts like hell but I do it voluntarily and routinely. It’s a good thing.
This café not only serves up the morning Joe but also has a full lunch menu. So far I’ve only had the tea. It’s nothing special but I like hanging out at the place. I’m just waiting for the right moment to try something on the menu. Until then, I’ll keep coming back until the time is right.

Oh bliss — just heavenly, perfectly marinated and stuffed into a pita, bliss. That was my lunch experience at Sultan.
I wanted everything that was in the Veggie Panini but I didn’t want all the bread that went with it so they graciously offered to put all the goodies in a pita for me. And oh man, was it great!
From the soft, fluffy, slightly smoky pita itself to all the fixins’; the veggie comes with havarti and mozzarella cheese, kalamata-​oh-​yum-​my-​favorite-​olives, marinated artichoke hearts, fresh tomato and a zingy pesto sauce.
I’m sure this is great in on the sandwich bread too but dang! In the scrumptious pita, it was out-​of-​this-​world, fantastic.
Thankfully, I live pretty close so I can easily go back for a second helping!
