I ordered through Grubhub and did pick up. My order was ready promptly! I got the kebab sandwich and the mixed meat (lamb, chicken and  kefta kabob). The chicken was so tender! All the protein was flavored nicely. I liked the white and red sauce they gave. I got the curry rice. For the price, this is a really good value. I didn't dine in, but the booths have beautiful tile on the side and a pretty lamp above. read more

Ordered this for delivery through DoorDash, and I cannot recommend it enough! The food was inexpensive, the delivery was quick, and the portions were HUGE. We ordered two meals and a side of pita and that was enough for two meals for two people ( could have been more as both meals were very filling). I would highly recommend the lamb shawarma dinner. I will definitely return to their physical location in the future. read more

Tried this place in 2024 and it was horrible. My friend loves this place so he was like let's eat here . I'm like ok that was last year maybe they improved in 2025. Nope this food is the worst still. The lamb was dry, the lentils were dry and the humus went right in the trash after 2 bites into the pita bread. The only thing that this place has going for it is they give you a lot of food for the price you pay ,but it's not worth it read more

one of the best chicken shawarmas - so tender, juicy, and flavorful!! I used their salad bar, which is $10.99/lb including meat which is such a good deal! I got a heaping bowl and pita on the side for $14 after tip and tax. The salad bar also has a great variety of items -- hummus, feta, roasted veggies, dolma, tuna salad, and more. My friend got the kefta kabob dinner which was a great portion with sides of hummus, tabbouleh salad, and pita, which she also loved. The quick service style of the restaurant made ordering easy and prep quick. The restaurant is also pretty spacious with booths for larger parties. read more

We randomly came across this place as we were waiting for doves Lunchonette and it was pleasantly SO good. I have to say one of the best foods I had in Chicago... We got the chicken plate and falafel gyro and were such a fan of both, especially with the price. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

Sultan's Market - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was a DoorDash order so I did not interact with any staff so I do not have a comment about the staff or the storefront. For lunch, I ordered a Chicken Shawerma dinner with half curry rice, half Tabuli and hummus, including a side of garlic sauce and medium-spice paste, and an order of pita. The chicken itself was good, albeit a little dry (at least for me). All of the sides tasted great and I was glad I ordered the pita to scoop up the delicious hummus! The medium-level of spice was perfect, enough heat to let you know it is there but not overwhelming. The amount of food was excellent for the price, I was full for the rest of the afternoon. This was my first time having middle eastern food and I was very pleased with what I ordered from Sultan's Market! read more

The service was great during my visit. The ambiance is unique. Food was good but I was hoping for a bit more flavor. Price was very reasonable though. read more

Been here several times and loved the food! They have a good selection of kebabs and sides such as tabouli, houmus, mujaddra and more. They also have a nice salad bar that has an assortment of veggies, pickled veggies , houmus, and even eggs. There is one thing I don't like is the rude attitude from the guy at the register. Sorry I said what I said! They have other locations so no problem with that! read more

We're big fans of Sultan's Market on North Ave and have been for at least 20 years. We love their baba ganuj, the hummus, the lentil soup, tabulli salad, the falafel is the best, as is the chicken shawarma. Not much ambience but its clean, the service is friendly and its a good value. Highly recommended ! read more

Love the lamb shawarma We loved the chicken shawarma but the lamb came out on top as our fave. Service is efficient. the guys behind the counter put together the food very well. They each ask all the right questions to make sure you are getting your entree or sandwich as desired. Ambiance is great. Love sitting in the very back. Decorated very nicely! read more

I always thought this was more a supermarket than a restaurant. Apparently, I was wrong! They only have mini shelves like a grocery store. My dinner was really yummy!!! Prices were quite affordable, to my surprise. Baklava could be sweeter! Hubby's meat pie & egg and cheese pie were tasty as well. He was amazed that egg and cheese could be prepared as such (Sorry, no pics) . Staff was really helpful & knowledgeable. Service was efficient & really quick! Next time, I'll have to eat there. I feel like I missed the experience by taking my food home. Interior was organized & clean. read more

Sultan's Market - Chicken Shawarma Dinner - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fantastic food, all of it. I've never had a disappointing meal. My favorite item is the egg and cheese pie. I don't know of any items that are not made in house. I love eating the hummus and once in awhile biting into half a chickpea. It's so smooth, but a pleasurable reminder that it was most likely made a few hours ago. They have something for everyone, and don't forget the baklava. It's a west side treasure that has expanded. The new spot on 18th is lovely and easy to park. You really need to know how to park at the other locations, be quick haha! But you do it because the food is always top tier! read more

If i could rate sultans market 6/5 i would. Ive moved around chicago and the suburbs many times but ive come back here whenever im in the area. Always delicious. Good service, nice old booths to sit at and always interesting decor. Granted, i dont eat meat so i havent sampled the whole menu. But the rest of my family have never had a bad word to say about it! Their falafel is amazing! Nowadays they take card and electronic payment but i remember when they used to be cash only. The prices are a bit higher than before, too, but i dont knock that against them as everything is higher nowadays and they still give you a ton of food! read more

Today is the second time I ate here and got food poisoning. I most probably won't be going there anytime soon. Or at least avoid the chicken shawarma . That's all I got read more

Overall Thoughts: LARGE, hearty, flavorful portions of Middle Eastern food at an affordable price point! This is a quick and easy lunch or dinner counter-serve option near the Damen Blue line stop with a diverse selection of plates and sandwiches. Food I tried: I've only tried the Kefta Kabob Dinner so far, and got it with 1/2 curry rice and 1/2 lentils and rice. It also came with a side of tabula, hummus, and pita. I'd recommend the lentils and rice over the curry rice (which I didn't love)-- the lentils and rice is extremely delicious and flavorful. The kabobs were also full of flavor and depth, and the hummus had a full, earthy flavor. I wish the pita came more toasted though. All this food came out to just $14, which was great because I even had leftovers for later. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.7/5 Food: 4.6/5 Ambience: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.6/5 read more

I love their falafel and the lentil soup is so good on a cold and dreary day. We ordered the mixed shawarma and unfortunately the lamb and chicken was dry. The rice and hummus was good as well as the soft pita. Overall it's a good value for the price. read more

Solid food at a great price. Chicken shwarma - 3.5/5. Spicy, well flavored chicken. Loved the sub of greens for baba ganouch. Falafel sandwich - 3.5/5. Surprisingly spicy in bites! Solid falafel with generous portion. Falafel - 4/5. My toddler loved these and ate them up. Hummus - 4/5. Generous portion for $6. Lentil soup - 4/5. Nicely flavored, heavily spiced. read more

Sultan's Market - Award winning Falafel Sandwich (vegan) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Very tasty shawarma and falafel pitas, in a relatively no-frills setting. So far, I've had the chicken shawarma which was well-seasoned, and the falafel, which are generously sized and cooked well--crispy but not dried out at all. The guy at the prep counter is super fast and I like that they give you a choice of how spicy you want it. There's also a salad bar with a variety of prepared veggies. And the baklava is REALLY good--crisp and plenty sweet (as baklava is) yet not overly sweet (as some baklava is). If you need some Turkish/Middle Eastern ingredients, they carry some canned and dried goods too. I often get my food to go, but there's some indoor seating and patio seating in warmer weather. read more

Ordered shawarma sandwich. Did not like it , was cold . Taste not really like it Not anymore read more

Best chicken shawara sandwich ever. We found this place walking around wicker park. I will definitely be coming back.

I loved eating at Sultans Market! I received great service. The gentleman preparing the food was generous. It was really delicious.

Came here before they closed and honestly best decision I've made in a while. Staff was super nice and the portions given were generous, pretty expansive menu and great place to come with a group given the ample seating. I could have easily made this two meals but I was starving so I knocked this back. I want to try the pilsen location soon and will definitely be coming back soon read more

Sultan's Market is a fantastic spot for a quick and delicious bite! This cozy spot serves up huge portions of food and I always end up with leftovers for lunch the next day! My favorite are the dinners that come with your choice of protein + rice or lentils, hummus, pita bread, and tabuli. Most items on the menu is $15 or less which is a steal for how much good food you get. The service is always quick and there's an abundance of seating available! Can't wait to explore more on the menu! read more

I order takeout here on a regular basis and am a big fan of the chicken shawarma dinner, the baked spinach pie, the tabuli and the hummus (always better than anything I buy at the store). Everything tastes fresh and my takeout order is always ready when I come to pick it up. read more

So flavorful, perfect consistency with the falafel, and unbeatable prices. Ideal lunch spot. I will be returning! read more

Sultan's Market - Falafel sandwich - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place has been on my list for forever, and I was honestly disappointed. It wasn't even that cheap as all the other reviews say (total about $30 for two people), though still a good bang for your buck. I loved the salad bar option with the plethora of fresh veggie toppings (weirdly had kimchi, seaweed salad, and ginger...). We got the meat combination and added falafel. All three meats were pretty dry and the last bits of meat. The hummus was tasty but nothing special. The falafel was probably the best part but nothing too special. The sauces were flavorless. The rice and pita were tasty (ask for the pita warmed up), but again nothing special! read more

Great food and ambiance. Also really loved the chicken shawarma and chicken soup- plus the California location has a night club

The lamb shawarma is absolutely delicious, as is the cheese and egg pie. Hard to find better value for a quick lunch than this place

This place seems hidden away on a corner, but their food is very good. I got the falafel sandwich and it was flavorful and the falafel was moist. The ingredients are fresh and everything was just delicious. The service is very fast and everything is made right in front of you. They also have a very large and extensive drink selection. Seating options are plentiful with both indoor and patio dining. The only downside is that they don't offer fries, which I personally think is a crime. They already have a fryer for the falafel, but this doesn't take away from the other great food they offer! read more

Sultan's Market - Falafel - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I wasn't sure what it was initially but it's middle eastern / falafel place that also sells a small amount of groceries. You get so much food for the price! Especially in this area. The pita is packed with falafel or meat. The down side to this is the hummus, tomato, and other toppings are squished to the bottom. This makes it taste Like purely falafel. My friend got the lamp and it was the same. Except his lamb was so tough that I probably couldn't have eaten it. It was late at night - about 8:30- maybe their cooking method doesn't last all day. read more

This place rules. Service was quick, polite, and easy. The food was fantastic. I had a kefta sandwich, and I'm not going to lie, it felt like God himself descended from the heavens and handed me this plate. Incredible. It was so good I almost didn't know what to do with myself. The place itself is cute. Small, nice dining area, self serve salad bar. Love the wide variety of drinks available. I got a lychee juice:) Will be back here for lunch again...and again...and again. read more

Got hit with a craving for mediterranean food so I rolled up here as I heard a lot of good things about this place. Place was popping, always people in there getting take out. Lemme just first say the food is so cheap and they give you so much! 8$ get you a plate of shawarma packed full, rice, hummus, salad, and pita. Definitely will fill you up. I got the meat combo but just asked for lamb and the kefta. Food was good for the price. Lamb shawarma was great, flavorful not tough but I wouldn't say it was tender either. The kefta was a little dry but still not bad. Same with the rice, a little mushy for my liking and the pita was kinda hard. Like not stale but like they just took it out of the bag, I wish they heated it up a little. Hummus a great though, smooth, not as smooth as Aba but it was solid. For the price, you can't beat this, a very good deal. read more
