" A hidden gem in the heart of Portland! The food at The Sultan Cafe is incredibly delicious. I had the Mezza platter, which was full of delightful Mediterranean offerings. The service was top-notch; everyone was friendly and attentive. The meal was authentic, fresh, and the portions were good! Cannot recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I finally decided to try Sultan Cafe and came with high expectations. The menu is quite diverse! I opted for their chicken gyro bowl, which was hearty and rich in flavor. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere is cozy. The only drawback was that the service was a bit slow considering how busy they were. Nonetheless, I'd still recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I enjoyed my experience at The Sultan Cafe! The chicken shawarma was phenomenal, packed with flavor and served with what seemed like homemade garlic sauce. The atmosphere just made it better—friendly staff and a lovely interior. I can't wait to introduce my friends to this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was enjoyable at The Sultan Cafe, I did not find the portion sizes very generous. My meal left me wanting a little more. The service was great; everyone was lovely and quite accommodating. I'd say it was an okay experience overall but could be improved. " (*Curated Review*)
