Sultan Turkish Restaurant, Mikocheni A — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

Stepping into this Turkish restaurant is like walking into a 1970s café—it's nostalgic, but signs of ageing prevent it from reaching its full potential as a relaxing spot. The interior could benefit from an update to match the quality of the food on offer.

The menu offers a modern take on traditional Turkish dishes, incorporating elements of Swahili cuisine such as shawarma. While this fusion may diverge slightly from the classic Ottoman concept, the food itself remains consistently enjoyable and of an above-average standard.

The well-mannered and attentive staff add a touch of professionalism to the experience. Prices are slightly higher than expected for what is on offer, but considering the restaurant's prime location right at the entrance of a shopping mall, the cost is justified. It’s a solid option for those craving Turkish flavours with a local twist.

Despite the lack of crowds, the restaurant maintains its charm and warmth, providing a cozy atmosphere for diners. The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the shawarma, which is expertly crafted with flavorful ingredients and cooked to perfection. The shawarma combo costs 10k Tsh including Soda, shawarma and french fries. However, the restaurant's only drawback is its relatively small area within the mall, which can feel a bit cramped...

The chicken pizza and chicken shawarma is amazing. Went there twice and i loved it. The pizza crust is very thick and the toppings very generous. I even asked for an alternative topping instead of mushroom on my second visit and they used corn on my pizza instead;loved it. The shawarma is very juicy.

The service is fast. A very nice cosy restaurant. One of my faves in Dar!!...
