    Austin H.

    When I first came to Lansing, I decided to check this place out and see what "middle eastern" cuisine was all about and I instantly fell in love. The staff are friendly and the manager takes the time to get to know you and call you by name when you come in. The food is a real bonus. Everyday at lunch you can get a chicken shawarma lunch special, which includes chicken, rice, hummus, pita bread, and a salad or lentil soup. Sultans also changes the different side dishes so its always something different everyday with different tastes. If you want something extra, you can always get a fried kibi and a baklava dessert on the side which is an added bonus. Some other good combination is the shish kaufta, which is a BBQ lamb, with the aforementioned sides. For the first time eating middle eastern cuisine this place was a huge hit for me. In all if you want good wholesome food with not too many calories to burn later on the treadmill, this place is definitely a place to check out.

    Burgol with chicken lunch special!

    I stopped in for lunch while it town. I was the only customer when I walked in. Service was prompt…read moreand friendly. I ordered a veg and beef samosa, and Lamb kabob. All of the food was brought out and the same time. The samosas were good, similar to Indian samosas but with a twist. The salad was simple but fresh. The afghan rice was delicious. The lamb was flavorful, but was cooked more well done than my liking and slightly dry. When I think of a kabob I imagine grilled meat, but the lamb didn't have any char, so I'm not sure how it was cooked. Over all the food and service were good. It's nice to try different foods and am glad I tried it. Definitely worth checking out. If I lived closer I would go back, but would try a different dish. Since I don't live in the area, if I found myself back here I would probably try a different restaurant.

A family member of mine spent time in Afghanistan, so I couldn't wait to try some of the cuisine myself. The staff greeted us warmly on arrival, and we took some time to peruse the menu before ordering at the counter. We chose an assortment of Beef and Lamb Shami and Beef Chaplee. I recognized the buzkashi picture on the wall and mentioned to the employee working the cash register that I knew a bit about it. He pulled up a video of a match on YouTube, pointing out that one of the horses in the match is famous. Our food took some time to arrive, but we were not disappointed - fresh and flavorful, plus very generous portions that allowed us to take a box home to enjoy later. If you want to try something a little new and different in the Lansing area, Noosh will fit the bill. Check it out the next time you're in the area!

    It's decent, American-style Arabic food…read more It's a bit better than Pita Way (more flavorful). But nothing like you will find in Arab shops across Europe or the Middle East. The hummus tastes like it has a bunch of oil added. The meats are very dry. The rice is bland. Good for a quick eat, but don't expect more than McDonald's quality.

    Fall is a hectic time in the Beverly household. Hot on the heels of what felt like the fastest…read more summer of all time, the chaos that is melding work, school, sports, and community schedules is live and direct. With four girls all at different stages of life, my much better half and I are typically frenetic throughout the week and certainly don't slow down on the weekends. We also have an additional challenge of working on MSU's campus and living on the westside- which, I'm sure I don't have to tell any of our readers, has been so much fun with construction. Some days, I crisscross the city six different times with meetings, practices, games, school fun nights, and family obligations. All of this means, that time for cooking at home can be limited and the energy to do so is even less. Even when I have my act together enough to make multiple meals ahead on a Sunday, the luxury of even thirty additional minutes at home and not warming a meal for starving adolescents seems sublime. We are often guilty of choosing the quicker option of dining out/take out, which brings on transactional costs in health and quality. So where does one find quick, healthier food options? Enter Middle Eats, the Warren, MI- based food chain that specializes in Mediterranean food which opened in Frandor in August of 2024. A cousin of chicken hot spot, Wing Snob, the endeavor aims to be fast, fresh, and healthy with its combination of bowls, wraps, and salads. They also strive to be convenient by offering a drive-thru option and online ordering to expedite their service. The full menu is customizable much like national branded fast Mexican assembly line chains, but absent the ability to watch your food as its prepared. What's Good The Spicy Chicken Shawarma Wrap ($8.99) was stout. Packed with shredded chicken that was tender and flavorful, pita chips, lettuce, grilled onions (optional, $.99), pickles, garlic spread, and spicy Dillio sauce. Dillio sauce is a yogurt-based dressing with garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and dill. The sauce was yummy but not overpowering nor overly fiery. A reasonably priced handheld that is big on yum and fills the hunger pangs. Not as healthy, but also high on the tasty factor are the Loaded Shawarma Fries ($11.99). I ordered them with steak ($2.00) and I was not happy I did. Thick cut, carnival style fries are topped with meat, feta cheese, diced onions, jalapeños, tomato (none for me thanks), and spicy Dillio sauce. This dish was large enough to share amongst the family, and we had leftovers. The added bonus was the pita bread on the bottom that soaks up all the delicious drippings. What's Really Good Middle Eats will be a go-to at our house for years to come because of their bowls. Whether you choose rice or lettuce as a foundation, you can load up the rest of the bowl with plenty of protein and veggies from a wide variety. My wife ordered the Falafel Bowl ($12.99) which a strong choice for vegetarians. Crisp, lightly fried falafel (deep fried balls of ground chickpeas and herbs) are joined by your choice of hummus and/or garlic spread, regular or spicy Dillio sauce, and then lettuce, feta, onions, rice, pickles, and tomatoes. The falafel was satisfying in both the exterior crunch and the warm and fluffy interior. The herbaceous flavors melded well with the hummus and veggies. Additional upcharges include cucumber, eggplant, or grilled peppers. On a previous lunch visit with a colleague, I ran into a high school friend who was there with her daughter who didn't have school that day. She revealed that Middle Eats has become their restaurant of choice for Mediterranean fare because of the convenience and value. My teammate and I both ordered bowls, him the Chicken Shawarma ($12.99) and I the Surf & Turf ($21.33). Both of us were satisfied and with the heaping mounds of meat and veggies and the accompanying sauces. Best Bite A special nod this month goes to the Fire Grilled Shrimp ($6.99/Skewer). Plump and juicy with just a touch of kick, but a ton of flavor, these crustaceans rival many of the top seafood and steakhouses in the area. Added to a salad or bowl and they are incredible, but also divine on their own atop a bed of rice. I look forward to finding time to enjoy Middle Eats Fire Grilled Shrimp in new ways including in wraps or on loaded fries.
