Sultans Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Bakersfield

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...

I have never been here before. I came here with my sister and niece on a Wednesday around 4pm. As we walked in there were a few people already in line. I realized this was almost like a Chipotle or Subway where you order and then customize your order as you move down the line. I am not a huge fan of this type of set up but the food smelled delicious.

I placed my order (Beef Shwarma Plate) and waited to move down the line. I would say between ordering and getting a chance to pay it was probably between 10 and 12 minutes. So not exactly speedy. Also, as I was waiting I saw multiple flies landing on the sides portion of the serving station. Not once did the servers attempt to shew them away. I watched carefully to see where they were landing and chose my sides accordingly so as to avoid extra seasoning.

We sat down and ate and although there were multiple flies buzzing on the inside of the windows, they didn’t bother us too much. The music was also a bit too loud for taste. I didn’t mind the music itself but the volume made it a little hard to converse.

Overall it was pretty standard for Mediterranean food. My sister absolutely loved her wrap and said she would go out of her way to come back. But for me although it was decent I wouldn’t really recommend this to friends of mine.

Cost wise it wasn’t...
