Sultan's Market - Chicago

So good! My wife and I loved it. We got 2 lamb shawerma sandwiches. Excellent! We also got the rice and lentils as a side dish and it was also very good. We ordered the large and we couldn't finish it. This is a small, little (yeah, I know, it's redundant) place we stumbled upon. What a great find. There is seating for about 8 people total.

The food here is great. Large portions and very good. One of my favorites for this style of food in the Chicago area. Been going here since this location opened 15 years or so ago. Usually once a week but the last year only once every few months and there's a reason for that. The sultan tax( as me and my CO workers have been calling it). Every other Restaraunt in this area charges 11.75% but sultans charges more for some odd reason. We've speculated they're trying to accommodate their new credit card only policy...or trying to pay for their proposed new location in pilsen. Either way, I've brought it to their managers attention every time I've been charged the sultan tax to no avail. And they've been doing this for about a year now. I'm thinking ever since they upgraded their menu board and cash machines. In the beginning of the sultan tax I noticed you can order online instead and get it for the regular rate. Now, they updated that as well and it's in the wide open how they're overcharging right on their own ritual online system. $15 dinner at 11.75% is like$1.70 or so in tax. Not $1.99 as charged. This shows on the receipt as Restaraunt and Pier tax. Well, 2521 n Clark is not navy pier so guess what? You've been gouging people for over a year. Time to FIX IT(that's my hopes with this Google post... and I rarely ever post Google reviews. Always use my personal Facebook to review instead). So if you like the food like I do then just be aware that you'll have to pay the sultan tax to eat here. Unless, the Chicago department of finance gets there first.

Such good, fresh food that is quick and well-priced. Very filling portions and happy every time! Spicy falafel sandwich in this photo

Really fast and tasty middle Eastern. Falafel made fresh and it's tasty. They also have a salad bar. Plus they have a selection of filled breads and many are vegetarian. This and Falafel&Grill are my go to places.

Sultan's Market is my go-to, quick Mediterranean food restaurant in the city. The food is delicious and the price is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. I've only ordered take out so I am not sure what it would be like to eat inside. I love their meat combo dinner, and I always compliment it with some lentil soup as well. Hits the spot everytime!
