Always great! The food selection is basic, but is always tasty, and the service is always good. I'm always happy to go back.

People are always friendly and I've never had anything there that I didn't like. The gyros are my favorite in Lincoln.

My boyfriend and I tried this for the first time and it was so delicious! We each chose a rice bowl with gyro and white taziki sauce and I added half of the chicken swarma which was a great addition! The salad was nice and fresh too! Overall, we will be back again soon! read more

If you want authentic Mediterranean food for a reasonable price, this is your place. Bring your appetite, portions are big. This place has never disappointed! 10/10 easily read more

A little place with big flavors. Be sure to check this one out. The Falafel over rice is my Goto dish. I will be heading back for some Shwarma later this week. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. The red sauce the way to go. Gives just a little heat to the dish. read more

From the outside it is easy to miss, it looks like a hole in the wall but man the food is good! I don't typically get potato wedges with my Mediterranean dishes so I tried those along with the red tzatziki sauce, it was delicious, I was a big fan. read more

AWESOME. Visit for work but I always make a point to eat here. Vegetarian/vegan so this got attention right away. Still a little something for anyone's taste. Chicken shawarma looks dank. Lamb too. I always settle for the falafel and rice and haven't been disappointed. Little salad on the side and the price really can't be beaten. Had a pita once and that was good but the falafel and rice plate is my jam now. Fountain Sodas. Chips. Some desert if you have a sweet tooth. Bathroom is in the back. Clean place with friendly staff. Right on a main strip across from the college so great location. Can get busy in the evenings. Especially Friday and Saturday with college students hungry after last call. Visit. Tell your friends. Stuff your face. read more

For some reason, there are a number of falafel joints in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska (and one just added to the Haymarket District). Many of them, including Sultan's Kite, are open after last call. Those other joints are ok, but the food and service I get at Sultan's Kite makes it vastly superior to anywhere else I've had falafel. Ever. In my life. They have a menu on the back wall, but since falafel is the only vegan option (besides my side of potatoes) that's all I care about. Even their lentil soup is somehow not appropriate for vegetarians, and that is clearly stated on the menu. There is no vegan sauce option, either. In any case, the falafel is the greatest. For real. So, normally a joint that really doesn't have a lot of variety for me won't get a 5 star review, but I'm going to cut the Sultan some slack because I always leave completely stuffed and can get my falafel 4 ways: wrap, pita, rice bowl, or salad. I always get a wrap, and the guys give me a nice smear of hummus as a substitute for the sauce. One could also ask them for a drizzle of olive oil and I'm sure they'd oblige. Lettuce, red onion, and tomato, and I'm set in terms of my wrap. But there's one more awesome thing I need: a side of real potato wedges! Don't eat them with your fingers because they use turmeric in the preparation of said wedges and you'll turn yellow. In conclusion, they're great for lunch, after last call, and any time you want falafel. Be prepared to be stuffed as the portions are generous. Get potatoes, use a fork. Superior to all falafel joints in the known universe and all of recorded history. Yep. IMPORTANT VEGAN UPDATE: Currently (02DEC15), the bread they use for the wrap is NOT vegan. The guys were kind enough to give me a heads up. I do hope they change back soon. read more

Service up and down but great sandwiches -- family friendly fare. Good falafel for vegetarians.

The Good: Tasty and quick spot to grab a bite while you're traveling across the country -- super accessible just off the highway, right downtown, park on the street and you're in and out in minutes! The Bad: Limited options (go only if you like Greek food!) The Food: I had the falafel with rice and red sauce, and it was good! The sauce was supposed to be mild but I found it to be a bit spicy, which I enjoyed. I was happy to have found a light, not-unhealthy meal in Nebraska while we travelled across the country. The Service: Super quick -- order right at the counter as they make it in front of you, sit down and eat it, or take it to go (it will come to go unless you specify otherwise). Overall: Great spot to grab a quick, casual bite if you're in Lincoln Nebraska. read more

Sultan's Kite - falafel with rice and red sauce @ Sultan's Kite - Mediterranean Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Of all the Mediterranean food in Lincoln, particularly in this area, I like Sultan's the best which is why I'm giving 5 stars. The pita bread is phenomenal, but can obviously make your gyro a little messy because it is loaded with meat. The wrap is a cleaner and easier to eat option because it's bigger, but not near as good as the pita bread (IMO). I enjoy half gyro and half chicken shawarma. French fries are available upon request which I enjoy with a gyro. Fries are the only area Gourmet Grill has an up on Sultan's. At the end of the day, Sultan's fries are fine. I just think Gourmets are amazing. Brat read more

Sultan's Kite - Gyro on pita bread - Mediterranean Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Great lentil soup, really satisfying. Good falafel. Tasty Indian chicken dishes. They will let you sample some things first if you're unsure. The price and speed are great. Love that they are open late. Usually pretty clean and pleasant staff. read more

As promised, I came back. Several times, in fact. After trying the delicious gyro, I then had the chicken shawarma, the chicken tika korma and the falafel. All were very good and served in satisfying amounts. The baklava's been consistently well-made, too. I've yet to get a custom "Sultan's Choice," but I definitely will my next time through, in the near future. read more

Reviews seemed strong for this place, newly reopened after an interior (not exterior!) renovation. My experience didn't come close to those ratings. Several customers ordering and eating when I arrived - not too busy, but not dead. I ordered a gyro. The meat was sitting already sliced in a pan - who knows how long it had been there, but a risk of being dry and/or marginally warm since not freshly sliced when ordered. it was indeed both dry and lukewarm. Tzatziki sauce over applied, and excessively salty (or was that the meat? - either way the salt was overwhelming). Asked for no onions, and they then added them. They were kind enough to do their best to scrape them off after adding. Also got baklava, which was quite tasty, but not enough to overcome a really bad gyro. If a place like this can't do a fresh, hot, appropriately proportioned gyro, it's a problem. read more

Lunch gyro... Mediterranean choices. Get it like you want it...bowl, in a pita, salad, etc. It's always hot fresh and high quality Line moves fast Baklava is ok, but I've had better... Everything else you can't go wrong on. read more

My tastebuds and stomach say thank you. When staying at the Cornhusker it's an easy 5 minute walk. Unless you know what you are going to order, take a minute to review the menu. There are a lot of options and the portions are huge. I had the kabob with salad and my husband had a falafel. read more

Very good for a "fast food" restaurant. I've been here multiple times and am never disappointed! A great local business to support!

As a previous review said, it's basically a Mediterranean Chipotle. Lots of options ranging from salad to pita wraps to naan, so go crazy! I got a falafel pita wrap. Not only was it delicious, but it fully satisfied me! Of course, I had to end the meal with baklava. It was delicious and not overwhelming in sweetness--my favorite! Such a great, cheap, satisfying meal. Highly recommend to all my fellow Mediterranean fans out there! read more

This place is a hole-in-the-wall. Wouldn't have noticed it except for the stellar yelp ratings. And let me tell you- it lives up to the hype. From New York to California, best CHICKEN SHAWARMA of my LIFE! Thank you!!!! read more

I had a gyro with naan. I added their red tzatziki sauce. I found it average. Not bad, but no better than others I've had. Order at counter. You begin with a base of naan, salad, rice bowl or pita. Then add a protein. I don't have much more to say. read more

YUM! Both the chicken shawarma and the chicken tikka korma are DELICIOUS. Their potato wedges are amazing too! All of their sauces are scrumptious but my favorite is the green chutney. The combination of cooling creamy yogurt with a fairly high level of heat cannot be beat. I crave it regularly. I hear that the rest of their menu is also fantastic too! Sultan and all of the folks that work here are friendly and make me feel welcome each and every time, even though I just grab my order to go. Love this place!! read more

Food is always good, and service is quick. Best hummus I've ever had, and I'm a picky eater.

Cool little spot next to Walgreens in downtown Lincoln. Highly recommend the chicken shawarma. Clean and comfortable.

Sometimes I have a big craving for their lemony potato wedges and some of that delicious taziki so I make the trek downtown for a fix. I WISH this was not downtown but I get it, great location for college kids and people leaving the bar (even open late). The first time I went here my friend and I biked downtown and decided to check it out. I wasn't sure what to get but ended up with chicken shawarma salad. Mmmm. I haven't had a lot of mediterranean food to compare to it but what I've had here I've loved. Despite the location I will keep going back but I know I'd go more if it was not downtown. That first visit I also took some time to visit with the guy working since my friend and I were the only ones there early on an afternoon. He was very nice, took time out to explain food and tell me about himself and the company. The inside is small, seems a little deli-ish, but if you don't know just ask. It's worth it! Great prices too. read more

Went on lunch time on Sunday. Ordered Chicken tikka Korma and it came along with complementary drink on that day I choose rice for this dish. Loved the combination of potato, chicken and rice. People who don't like spicy food may try this one. The price was about 9$ read more

Rice bowls are awesome, naan is incredible, straight up best falafel in town. They also have fountain diet drpepper. Who does that? Bless y'all. read more

These are flat out the best gyros I've ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of gyros. Their other offerings are incredible too. Everything is always fresh, their vegetables are beautifully crisp, and you're never hungry after. Their family meals are enormous too! read more

This place is amazing!!! We always order a rice bowl with either the chicken tikka korma, chicken shawarma, or gyro meat and all are equally amazing. The potatoes on the side are spectacular and always perfectly cooked. You just can't loose when you eat here. We moved to Omaha and it has been tough not having Sultan's Kite, so we always make sure to stop by when we come to town. read more

Just was walking and came upon this location and was lucky to enough to beat the rush. I had the falafel and damn I want one just thinking about it. Me and my guy Lando also both got Gyros and I must say it's definitely one of the best I've had. Everything was fresh and made right in front of you. One of my new favorites. read more

Sultan's Kite - Mediterranean Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

SO GOOD. Plenty of options from salads, to rice/curry, fries, baklava, and gyros. The portions are big and the prices are very very reasonable. Multiple meat/vegetarian options as well as multiple sauce options for any meal. I'm not crazy about their potatoes, but that is a personal preference. You can call and order ahead or order in the restaurant, either way they are quick. It's a healthy option for dining that also is delicious. I would highly recommend. read more

So, so happy they're back up and running! The remodel looks amazing and everyone and all the food are just as you remember: fantastic.

Love the food, gigantic portions, not expensive at all, fast service highly recommend

Food didn't have much flavor. Service was very slow. The mood wasn't very inviting there.

My favorite place downtown! I use to work downtown and I got Sultans Kite almost everyday! Such great taste and good for you! They have little dessert and little treats! Great price for the amount of food you get! Grab a bite to go or sit down and enjoy a plate! read more

We had a hankering for Middle Eastern food and found this place online. My first impression was how neat, clean, and comfortable it is. Ordering food involves going to the counter and choosing a type of meal (e.g. bowl, pita, etc.), then choosing protein, veggies and other toppings. The staff provided great service and seemed to care that customers were getting exactly what they wanted. My husband ordered a chicken schwarma pita and I ordered a chicken korma bowl. I eat a lot of veggies so I also ordered a Greek salad. My husband reported that his pita was tasty and ample and that the chicken was tender. My food was also very good -- the korma sauce was delicious and the chicken was also tender in my case. The Greek salad was also delicious. My husband and I both highly recommend this restaurant. If we still lived in Lincoln we'd be returning frequently. As it is, we'll return the next time we visit family and friends in Lincoln read more

AMAZING! Chicken schwarma , and falafel were extremely delicious and so happy that we found this place on yelp; and wanted to ensure we gave them a shout out ! definitely a place to eat at if you are in Lincoln, NE read more

Great gyro and the price is pretty decent. Menu is limited to its niche. Red Taziki has great flavor and mild spice.
