Sultans Mediterranean Grill

I'm extremely disappointed to post this as this was one of my favorite places to eat. However, what I saw was concerning. My wife and I decided to go eat there today after work. I noticed the owner was eating with his friend and his food was served in small stainless steel bowls. As we were waiting for our food I noticed the owner telling the workers to clean the table where they were eating. The lady who started cleaning the table, which later I found was also the manager - picked up the Bowls and placed them in front of the food line instead of taking them to the back to get cleaned. She tried pouring the food back were they serve customers from, but she noticed that I was looking so she left the bowls there. She then told another employee something as they were looking at me, I pretended not to notice. Once they thought I wasn't looking she poured some of the food back into the "food line". When she realized that I was looking she told the manager and they grabbed the remainder of the bowls and took them to the back of the kitchen. The owner came back in and I let him know the situation and he confirmed that they did in fact did that. He tried to give me a million excuses as to that it wasn't common practice. However, seeing that it was the manager who instructed the other employee to do it, I find that hard to believe. I immediately lost my appetite and as we're leaving I decided to return my food and get my refund. I'm sharing this because I believe it to be very unsanitary and for the price of food now and days I expect clean food that will not potentially harm my family. Unfortunately I won't be coming back and will definitely be sharing my experience. Hopefully this helps somebody else. I'm forced to select 1 star to post this!!

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.

Sultan's is always delicious. Their chicken kabob wrap is top notch in my book, and it is cooked fresh to order. That does mean your wait time may be a bit long if they're busy, but it is always worth the wait!

Absolutely best Mediterranean in Bakersfield. Staff are always nice and food is always consistent. I always get the chicken kabobs plate which is enough for 2 people. Don't be scared of the garlic sauce, it's to die for.

We've had the chicken kabobs twice and they were amazing both times. The sides are excellent as well.

We are not from Bakersfield but made a special stop on the way back through on vacation just to get eat there again.
