our story

Although officially Sultan Abi was established in 2007, our journey began back in 1998, right in front of the Interamerican University, metro campus. Our passion started by serving students from a small cart, offering many of the same items that are still on our menu today. We were originally known as Turkish Grill until we open in our

current location, where we continue to serve our guests to this day.

Love food-Love People-Love to serve.

Enjoy!!

Turkish Cuisine is a mixture of textures and flavors that traces its roots back to the ancient Ottoman Empire--an empire that lasted 800 years and was extended to eastern Europe and Meddle East. It brings together the best of the Greek cuisine and the exotic richness of Arabic flavors, all balanced into a magical explosion of taste. This melting pot is inspired by well-preserved recipes from great ancient cultures, making Turkish cuisine one of the most exquisite and admired around the world.

Since 1998, we brought this concept to life in San Juan- a fast, casual, and easy everyday dinning , and yet grounded with authentic Turkish roots.

We hope you enjoy every visit !.
