Sultans Mediterranean Grill
Sultans Mediterranean Grill, located in the heart of Bakersfield, CA, offers an authentic taste of Mediterranean cuisine that resonates with both tradition and unique flair. The moment you approach their storefront, the inviting aromas hint at the rich and vibrant flavors awaiting inside. Despite its modest setting, this grill stands out for its dedication to quality, cleanliness, and hospitality, making every guest feel like a welcomed friend.
The highlight here is undoubtedly the grilled meat selection, with the beef kabob frequently praised for its juicy, tender, and well-seasoned profile. Sultans doesn’t just serve meals; they craft experiences where each bite carries the essence of the Mediterranean. The rice, fluffy and aromatic, pairs perfectly with their expertly grilled meats, creating a harmonious balance on the palate. Their use of fresh, complementary sides—such as the tangy and zesty ezme—adds layers of flavor, enhancing every dish with a burst of brightness and texture.
Service here is attentive and genuine. Staff members exhibit hospitality that transcends typical customer interaction, welcoming guests warmly—even during busy moments like catering rushes. While the weighing of meat may slow the ordering process slightly, it underscores the care taken to serve just the right portions, emphasizing quality over speed.
What sets Sultans Mediterranean Grill apart is its authentic adherence to Mediterranean culinary traditions infused with their unique touch. This commitment is palpable through each dish’s freshness and the restaurant’s consistent effort to maintain a clean environment where families and individuals alike feel comfortable. Flavors are grounded but never dull; even when subtle, the richness is amplified by brilliant sauces like their garlicky complement, making every dish memorable.
As a food reviewer and passionate enthusiast of Mediterranean flavors, I find Sultans Mediterranean Grill a compelling destination. It offers more than simple meals—it offers a genuine celebration of Mediterranean culture through food. Whether you're a local or a traveler from afar, the grill invites you to savor its dishes that are both rooted in tradition and touched by thoughtful innovation.

“ I was disappointed that they did not have any lamb. I ended up getting beef instead. The food was surprisingly good. The beef was delicious. The rice was fluffy and aromatic. I tried ezme for the first time and it was amazing. All the flavors seemed to complement eachother. There was a pretty long line when I got there. They weigh the meat rather than measure it. This takes much longer. They are difficult to hear and they have difficulty hearing the customers. This place could be much more efficient. But most importantly they should have lamb. ”
“ What a pleasant surprise! I happened upon this restaurant while running errands. The aromas filling the shopping center drew me in. They weren't open and they were working on a large catering order, but they welcomed me in. They were so hospitable, it was as if they had welcomed me into their home. And then the food. When they walked by to ask me how the food was, all I could say is, "I'm so grateful for you." I ordered a falafel wrap, fries with the garlic sauce, a drink, and baklava. *chef's kiss* Highly recommend. ”
“ Was having high hopes for it, but at times it did disappoint to being bland, like it was missing something, the meat, the rice... overall still a good experience, the garlic sauce does the trick to even it out a little bit and spice up the flavours on the meat a little bit. Will try it one more time too see if I could change my opinion on the dish. ”
“ First time coming to this restaurant. Me and my family came from Canada and never seen anything like this. There’s always someone cleaning so the place is really clean. The food is really good and well made. I recommend the grilled options the most like the beef kabob. I hope something like this opens in Canada and I will definitely come back ”
