our story

Sultan Abi was established in 2007.

We started out in front of the Interamerican University, Metro Campus, in 1998. Our passion? serving students out of a small cart with most of our items in our actual menu.

We were known as Turkish Grill, until we opened in 2007 in our actual location as Sultan Abi.

Love food-Love People-Love to serve.

Turkish Cuisine is a mixture of textures and flavors that goes back to the Ottoman Empire, an empire that lasted 800 years and was extended to eastern Europe and Meddle East. It has the best of the Greek cuisine and the Arabic exotic flavors, mixed and balanced. The magical explosion of flavors of a melting pot, that comes from well kept recipes of great ancient cultures. That is what makes Turkish Cuisine one of the most extensive and wonderful found around the world. So, we created in San Juan, since 1998 a concept of Turkish food served fast. It is casual, easy dinning, an everyday easy menu, and yet authentic. We hope you enjoy your visit every time.
