“Had the chicken shawarma wrap after the Tribune food writer posted it on IG and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly grilled and seasoned and the vegetables were nice and fresh. The falafel was also nice and crunchy even after I soaked them in the tabullah sauce!”
“MashaAllah, the food was so delicious that I even forgot to take a picture! We ordered plov with chicken and lamb shashlik, and it was amazing. The salad on the side was fresh and very tasty too. The tea and sweets (baklava) were also excellent. Everything tasted authentic and fresh. The service was very polite and welcoming. Thank you very much! I will definitely come back. 🇦🇿🇵🇸 Insta : @ruzi_usa”
“The grilled chicken salad at Sultan Kebab is so fresh and flavorful! The chicken was perfectly cooked, veggies crisp, and the portion was great. Healthy, delicious, and satisfying - I’ll definitely order it again.”
“One of the best Mediterranean place in the Noridge area. The food is always freshly cooked. Taste and flavor is unbeatable. The shawarma chicken is always the best, I mostly get that every time I visit.”
“Good food and service. Went for lunch, the meat quantity seemed little less”
“I was really underwhelmed and disappointed. I so rarely get to have Middle Eastern food that I look for it whenever I'm traveling to a city with a decent-sized Middle Eastern population. I was in the Chicago area for a few days and this was my only opportunity for a kefta. The place was busy enough and the reviews good enough that my expectations were relatively high when I walked in the place. Reflecting back on the meal: Kefta kebab served with rice, pita and a small salad. The flavor on the kefta was about right albeit slightly muted. Unfortunately they overcooked it by a good amount and it was dry enough that I didn't finish what was on the small end of a fair portion given the price and lack of table service. The pita bread was decent but the rice was a completely bland side. The salad was alright but not great. For dessert I had a baklava. It looked a bit dry when it arrived (they called my receipt number for the meal and I picked it up at the counter but somehow they decided to deliver the dessert). I tried a bite and discovered it was simultaneously dry and devoid of flavor. I left the balance as it just wasn't worth the calories and my jaw was already tired from masticating the kefta. Huge disappointment!”
“I ate there 2 times and 2 times I had diarrhea only the first time I didn't know the reason. The meat in the shawarma was very dry, the garlic sauce tasted like it was diluted with water. In the toilet I was very surprised by the soap I don't think it should look like that...”
“They are so friendly and the food is high quality and soo yummy i like it”
