    Classic Gyro Lamb and Beef Sandwich
    Jared W.

    One of the few spots in the area that is open as late as it is. When you walk in the guys greet you and are ready to take your order. They have your typical options. Pricing is a little high but not the worst I've seen. You get a good amount of food for what you order so that's a huge plus. They have some seating inside and it's clean enough usually. If you're in the mood for this type of food, it definitely hits the spot.

    Sultan is my favorite spot on the Ave. Highly, highly, highly recommend the #14 Arabic Shawarma -- I get chicken. It's the best bang for your buck at only $12ish for the whole shawarma and the garlic sauce is some of the best I've ever had.

    I'm pretty shocked as to how good this was 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

    Gyros and shawarma in university district The only crowded spot on the street so I assume it will be good got back to hotel to eat should have asked for dressing on the side Salad was saturated the chicken was a bit salty but the beef/ lamb was good. More rice then one could eat drink offered with in price only diet was Diet Coke

    Sultan is one of those small restaurants you walk by with a window to order and know that there's something special inside. Their food is fairly priced, and there are a variety of items. The staff were friendly in ordering and were patient in clarifying a few items. I went with the Kufta combo, which featured ground beef. It was made fresh, and it took about 15 minutes. The Kufta wrap was delicious, but there was a bit too much sauce, which ended up leaking out. On the topic of sauce, it is not included with fries. I was, however, surprised at how good the fries were - seasoned with BBQ or cajun and sported the perfect crisp exterior with smooth interior. The restaurant itself wasn't too spacious, and the selection of drinks were limited. Many were out of stock, and I wish there were a few more options. Other than that, it was a very tasty dinner!

    We were in a hurry to a lecture, so we entered the place. It's a fast food Mediterranean place. We were three people and all ordered together. The first dish came after 5 minutes, the second order came 10 minutes after the first one and the third order arrived 10 minutes after the second order. In total - 25 minutes to get all of the dishes. We ended up eating independently, otherwise it would have gone cold. Was it worth it? Big No. My chicken salad was sooo dry! The chicken... and the salad dressing was sour... the tzatziki was tasteless and the shawarma was very fatty from oil. The kofta was ok, but the bread they fold it in - lafa - was very thick and chewy. And we were late to our lecture.

    Great food at decent price. Seasoning is better and open late is plus. Seems like owners are here which explains better food and service. Casual feel and good service.

    I can't even begin to describe how much I love this place. The cooks are diligent and so nice, and I've yet to have a bad meal here. I've only tried the Arabic shawarma and the lamb and beef gyro, but it's always delicious and you get a lot of meat for the value. 2 meals with fries/salad usually runs me and my boyfriend about $31.46. I've also noticed that my gyros get packed a little extra every time I tip too Delicious salad with an amazing vinaigrette, you get a variety of veggies in it too which is always fun. I don't get the fries but they seem good. The restaurant itself is pretty small and not very decorated, but it's well maintained with a lot of seating options. It generally takes 20 minutes to get the food here so I will usually go to h mart and pick up snacks/groceries while waiting. Also I walk 0.7 miles back to my apartment with the takeout and it is always hot by the time I get home. I love love love sultans. Ultimately I'm biased because I haven't tried any of the other shawarma places on the ave, but you won't be disappointed if you go here.

    **vegetarian review** This is one of my late night take out spots. It's fairly basic and well executed Mediterranean food. I usually go for Mediterranean platter and Arabic falafel wrap. I don't prefer the fried cauliflower, eggplant dishes since they absorb a lot of oil. They are very quick as well as well priced. Will continue to go here for a while

    YUM!!! We enjoyed that they had a spicy beef broth option for our pho. The large size was…read moredefinitely worth it! I got steak and tendon and it was delicioussss I also enjoyed not having forks readily available (not that there's anything wrong with using a fork) but I was finally able to eat my pho authentically with just chopsticks and spoon. *pause while i look up how to properly eat pho* The place is very quiet and clean. Service was very nice and quick. Unfortunately, parking can be tricky in this area, so be ready to circle around for street parking or walk a bit.

    One of my friends recommended this place solely because of the pricing of their foods relative to…read moreliterally every other Vietnamese restaurant in the Greater Seattle area, and I decided to make the drive to eat here with a friend visiting from Orlando on a Saturday evening around 8pm, just an hour before closing. This is one of several places I've been wanting to try in the Roosevelt neighborhood, though that means parking is a doozy as is for most major neighborhoods in Seattle. When you get here, you'll see a handful of two- and four-tops along with the counter and kitchen far up the back. It's dimly lit and there's a bunch of figurines at that same back counter. I was seated with my friend immediately since there was nearly no one inside. I got their large pho with brisket, tendon and tripe all in their traditional beef broth, followed by Thai tea as I usually like to do. The broth itself was all right at best, not the freshest but generally passable. I did find myself having to add a little more hoisin sauce than what I'm used to so I could bring the flavors in more. Otherwise, the briskets, tendon and tripe all made the dish very warm and hearty despite it being a hot day most of the time. Thai tea is standard though a very welcome refresher. Service was top-notch throughout as servers would refill our water frequently and check on us. I recommend getting their large pho since it's only a dollar difference from their regular-size pho, and that's not even the only option where prices are actually really good compared to other places - other Yelp reviews corroborate that. It's really nice to know there are some great places serving Vietnamese food that isn't just in the Seattle area, and one with competitive prices for their dishes! Distance is an issue for my case but I'd still make a trip or two back here to support this mom-and-pop restaurant.
