Driving along I84 east of Waterbury we've passed by Sultan's for years, never quite sure what to make of it. What's Turkish cuisine? What's the atmosphere like? With great reviews we decided to give it a try and can't believe what we've been missing all...these years! If you're not sure what to expect about Turkish cuisine, think "Gourmet Greek" - they take everything to the next level. The menu describes everything very well so even if you can't pronounce the dish you'll know exactly what to expect. We started with the small mixed cold appetizer (enough for 4!), which is a selection of six fresh housemade dips. While they will bring you all the delicious fresh baked bread you want, order the side of sliced carrots and cucumbers to have with the dips if you want to have any room left for dinner! I had the best braised lamb shank ever, delicately wrapped in eggplant and seasoned perfectly. My wife had Imam Bayildi - eggplant stuffed with red and green peppers, onions, currants and pine nuts, a very flavorful vegetarian dish that would satisfy anyone, vegetarian or not. We didn't order dessert for 2 reasons; too full, and many looked like Greek desserts that are typically painfully sweet. They brought us two small squares of Baklava anyway so of course we tried it, expecting the typical super-sweet walnut-layered flaky Greek pastry. But their version uses a much more subtle house-made syrup and pistachios, and it was awesome - a Greek dessert taken to the next level! No full bar but a nice wine list and very reasonable prices. You absolutely must try it to see what you've been missing!More
