Sultan\u2019s Kebab is scheduled to debut within two to three months at 2151 Salvio St., Concord. That address is on Todos Santos Plaza in the former space of Lima, an upscale Peruvian restaurant that closed in 2024.<\/p>\n

Sultan\u2019s Kebab is also planning a new outpost in Saratoga at 14554 Big Basin Way, Unit A, which will be \u201copening soon,\u201d according to owner Fatih Ulas.<\/p>\n

These two would make the Sultan\u2019s Kebab empire number six total, with other branches in Danville, Livermore, Campbell and Pleasanton \u2013 the latter being the original, which always seems to be bustling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to continue growing the brand and bringing our Mediterranean cuisine to more Bay Area communities,\u201d says Ulas, who hails from Turkey.<\/p>\n

Both of the new locations will be open daily from 10 a.m.-10 p.m., doing both in-house and catering orders. The Concord location in particular will have a \u201cbeautiful patio and will be vibrant,\u201d Ulas adds.<\/p>\n

Sultan\u2019s Kebab uses halal products to grill Turkish-style kebabs over charcoal, which are served with fresh bread or rice or even garlic-feta fries. The restaurants also offer other regional dishes, from shareable mezze to shawarma salads to baklava.<\/p>\n
