Sultan Bey is a small but vibrant store that offers a wide variety of imported Middle Eastern products. Visitors can find raw grains, beans, canned foods like stuffed grape leaves and roasted eggplant, and a large selection of olives and spices. The store also features snacks and sweets, with a special sweets counter near the register showcasing slices of elaborate tortes and many individually sized desserts. Notable treats include a baklava-like filled sweet, and two different tortes—one with cake and a cream cheese-like filling topped with nuts, caramel, and chocolate, and another with baklava top and mousse layers of chocolate and vanilla. These desserts are not overly sweet or rich, making them popular favorites. The store's freezer section offers phyllo-based foods, including baklava, and a variety of frozen goods like knefe. Sultan Bey also sells small appliances and non-American soaps and hygiene products. The staff are friendly, helpful, and eager to share recommendations, making shopping a pleasant experience. Customers appreciate the good prices, quality products, and excellent customer service, often mentioning the staff’s willingness to go above and beyond. The store is especially recommended for newcomers to Pittsburgh and those seeking authentic Middle Eastern goods, spices, sweets, and groceries. Overall, Sultan Bey is a reliable and welcoming spot for anyone interested in Middle Eastern cuisine and products, with a warm atmosphere and a wide selection that keeps customers coming back.
Sultan Bey is a treasure trove of great food items from around the Mediterranean and the Middle East while also providing basic groceries. It is a go-to spot for spices, feta cheese, Middle East pastries, and basic vegetables. The proprietor is very helpful and pleasant. I'm so happy we can shop here!
