Our friend reccomended this place after a concert and it seriously hit the spot! The prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. I got the chicken scharwma which was just so delicious, the pita was soft, the vegetables were fresh, the sauce was so good! Loved it!

I wish I had discovered this Shawarma spot long ago! This is easily one of the best Shawarmas I’ve had. I tried both the Arabic Shawarma and the regular chicken Shawarma, and they were both great—but the Arabic Shawarma is incredibly close to the authentic taste. The Saj bread takes it to another level! Maybe the Arabic Shawarma without onions would make it absolutely perfect, but overall, it’s amazing. I visit all the way from Everett just for this, and it’s totally worth it. A must-try spot, and I’ll definitely be recommending it to friends!

best gyro spot on the ave. compared to a certain other option, the food here is more flavorful, less greasy, and the environment much less overstimulating. fries are really good, and orders come with garlic sauce and pickles (although i do wish they would bring back the olives instead)

I had the lamb shawarma, honestly not the best I had better, but if you are in the area and you are hungry works.

I got the 19 shawarma and it was packed with flavors. Taste was on point and it’s affordable. But I found two strands of hair on my first bite which I should’ve seen coming since the place isn’t exactly clean.

First, the sandwich. The outside pita bread was really well toasted, and had serious weight to it - it was pretty dense. I found that this added a really great outer layer to each bite of the Gyro wrap The lamb and beef were quite plentiful - even to the point where they would often spill out of the sandwich. The portion size was pretty impressive I also really liked the way these tasted - they were quite flavorful - and not overcooked at all - rather quite juicy when you bit into them The vegetables were also good - what I would say is a bit more diversity in vegetables (eg: adding black olives, mushrooms, etc..) as this mostly just consisted of lettuce and a few onions thrown in. Also probably less vegetables in general would be better I loved the white sauce in this - it mixed so well with everything else - coating the pita, vegetables, and especially the lamb and beef in a beautiful outer layer This is what really elevated the sandwich as a whole Additionally, for the relatively low price point, this sandwich was actually pretty large - something that was impressive I do wish the wrap stayed together a bit more, however - as stuff was constantly falling out and I would have to put it back in. This is where the increased amount of lettuce didn't help the experience Now, let's get to the real star of this order - the Greek Fries There are words to describe these - but I'm not sure I have the vocabulary All I can say is that I haven't had Greek Fries even close to this before - as a matter of fact - I haven't had any french fries even close to this before A lot of people think Greek Fries are about the feta cheese you put on there. What Sultan's understands is that yes, the feta cheese is really important, which is why they have a ton of it on there However, what they also understand is the real key is the Tzatziki sauce - and the amount of it What good is Greek Fries if the cheese just falls through the fries? Or, what good is it if the sauce and cheese are just applied to the top layer of fries and all the remaining ones near the bottom remain dry? What truly makes these fries all-time is the amount of the sauce they use - what this does it a) allows the sauce to take over the entire box of fries and b) allows the cheese to really stick to the fries The amount of this sauce + cheese combination used means that even though at the start it's only applied to the fries at the top, while eating it flows down and fuses itself with all the fries at the bottom as well When I say coat the fries, that's an understatement. Each individual fry is absolutely smothered in this mixture - which is truly what makes these so incredibly good When I want Greek Fries, I don't want my fries to feel like they're dipped in the sauce. I want my fries to feel like they are the sauce - so the majority of the flavor comes from the sauce itself and not the fries. The fries should simply exist as a backbone - something to give texture. It should play a similar function to what the pita does in the Gyro Nowhere is that more present than in these fries - where each fry is practically drowning in the Tzatziki sauce + feta cheese combination You know there's a lot of sauce when after every fry, I have to lick my fingers clean of the sauce - and this still tasted amazing I don't know if I need to even mention this, but for the price point, these are also incredible as well Overall: A pretty-good wrap with all time fries delivers excellent results Classic Lamb & Beef Gyro: 8.15/10 Greek Fries: 10/10 Overall: 9.25/10

No over exaggeration, this was the BEST lamb gyro platter I’ve ever had. And I’ve been to Greece. The meat is fresh and hot, perfect portions, fantastic price, you can tell it is a family business which I love. I’m only in town for work, but if I’m ever back I would come here again without question!
