Sultan's Grill Authentic Turkish & Indian Cuisine (Second Road Branch)

Sultan’s Grill (Second Road Branch) in Phuket feels unmistakably Turkish — a place where the food tastes as if it’s been cooked the way it would be at home. The restaurant keeps the bar high when it comes to authentic Turkish cuisine: a wide range of kebabs, as well as beyti and lahmacun, plus fresh salads, slow-braised lamb, and tender lamb skewers — all juicy, fragrant, and neatly presented. Two standouts are the rich lamb soup and a light rice pudding made with buffalo milk: silky in texture, delicately sweet, and perfectly balanced.

Breakfast is handled with the same seriousness as the main menu — hearty, fresh, and served quickly. After the meal, guests are offered tea, and sometimes Turkish coffee too, which rounds everything off nicely and adds to the feeling of finding a “little Turkey” far from home. For those who care about the details: the restaurant uses Australian-sourced meat, and the menu suits guests looking for a halal option.

Inside, the place is spotlessly clean, with a calm atmosphere that invites an unhurried dinner. The team is professional and respectful — orders are taken promptly, guests are looked after attentively, and the chef is often out on the floor, personally keeping an eye on the details. Here, thoughtful service is a real part of the experience: never rushed, always warmly welcoming.
