The cuisine at Sultan's Turkish Restaurant is very authentic. The atmosphere is fun with the added treat of a belly dancer who entertains there once a week. The lamb and chicken kabobs are seasoned beautifully and so juicy. The sampler platter for an appetizer is a great choice as it comes with a variety of flavors and can easily be split between four people.

It is debatable whether the food looks better or tastes better at Kotobuki Japanese Cuisine. The plates look like fine pieces of art and the food is delectable. The favorite is the wonderful array of sushi that is on the menu. The fish is just so fresh that it feels as if it has been pulled from the ocean that same day.
