About the shop
The shop has been here. Mehmet just took over.
Katya Canev's Google review introduced "the new owner, Mehmet" a year ago. The location has been a Turkish grocery for years, Hinal Patel's review goes back 8. The continuity is the inventory; the energy is new.
If you've been coming for years, the aisle is the same. If you're new, ask Mehmet at the counter and he'll walk you through.
The Sultan's name is older than the new ownership. Same shelves, same long-running Turkish grocery, with someone behind the counter now who'd rather you find the right thing the first time than guess.
What's stocked
Halal, Turkish,
and the in-between.
A short list of the categories on the shelves. Inventory varies. If you don't see your usual, the answer is often "we have it, second shelf, left." Ask.
Jams, olives,
& condiments
Turkish jams, olives, peppers, tomato paste. The cupboard staples of the Mediterranean kitchen.
Turkish
snacks
Biscuits, savory crackers, halva, lokum (Turkish delight), seasonal sweets. The aisle the kids point at.
Tea, ayran,
& sodas
Turkish tea, Turkish coffee, ayran in the cooler, plus the standard Middle Eastern soft drinks.
Cheese & dairy
Feta, kashar, beyaz peynir, halloumi. Refrigerated counter at the back.
Bread &
simit
Fresh bread, pita, simit when in stock. Call ahead Sunday morning if you want simit for breakfast.
Baklava &
dessert
Baklava, kunefe, helva, Turkish delight. Trays and individual pieces.
Anything else?
If we don't have it, ask. Sometimes it's in the back, sometimes it shows up next week. Mehmet listens.
