Sultan's Market

3.6112 reviews ·Opens at 10AM

Sultan’s Market is a beloved Pilsen neighborhood spot for generous, affordable Middle Eastern meals, especially its famously crisp-tender falafel, kefta pita with hummus and baba ghanouj, and spicy lamb sandwiches. Regulars praise the quick, friendly service, clean setting, and inviting back patio, making it easy for casual group meals or takeout. Quality can vary, though, with some complaints about bland chicken, poorly assembled shawarma, and inconsistent preparation.

Absolutely amazing. The restaurant was so nice looking, I loved the outdoor patio. In the back. The sandwiches were both so tasteful. The lamb was fav— I loved the spiciness.

I went today and ordered a falafel sandwich. The young man who took my order was very kind and attentive. The falafel was crispy and tender, not sure what all the negative is about but I suggest giving it a second try!

One of my favorite places to go to! The service is quick and friendly and the food is great in price, portion size, and overall flavor. A great way to fill up and enjoy great Mediterranean food without breaking the bank. I absolutely recommend this place and I will be back for more falafel!
