Sultan is a Turkish grill restaurant on Cranbrook Road in Ilford, a short walk north of the town centre and the Elizabeth line station. It’s open every day from lunchtime until late.

The menu covers the full ocakbaşı range: lamb and chicken şiş, Adana köfte, beyti, ribs and chops from the charcoal grill, plus house specials such as İskender, Ali Nazik and Altı ezmeli. There’s also a full list of pide and lahmacun from the oven, and hot and cold meze.

It suits families and groups who want a big shared grill, and anyone after a halal Turkish meal in Ilford.
