    Wonderful service. Great portion sizes for a great price! Both had gyros with mild sauce. Perfect! Plenty of seating! Super cute mural! Looking forward to visiting again!

    Chicken Tikka Korma and SHAWARMA (chicken) - Regular Shawarma with rice and potatoes! Side salad is also loaded! @veefoodlife

    Love checking out local spots when I'm traveling for work! Sultan's kite has been a staple in the downtown Lincoln area for quite some time and they NEVER disappoint! Recently went for lunch, even if there is a line, they getting moving quickly! Staff are always very pleasant and accommodating. Falafel are made to order which means you always get them hot and fresh! They never sit under a heat lamp. Everything was very flavorful! I love the chicken shawarma and chicken tikka korma. The potatoes and rice are comforting. The salad is also packed full of ingredients! There is seating but can definitely get packed. Great to dine in or takeout! Will definitely be back again!

    SHAWARMA (chicken) - Regular Shawarma with Greek salad and green taziki sauce

    This place is similar to how you would order at a subway or chipotle. The food was really good. The only reason why it's a 4 is because the green sauce was not spicy enough and I really was expecting it to be spicy but it wasn't. The service was good and fast. Wasn't busy at all. We ended up doing take out so the food would have been great if we ate it warm. Great place! Will come back another time. Edit: went back again for dinner and I really enjoyed it.

    We had come to Lincoln for a lecture/performance at the Polley Music Library and wanted to get some dinner, so I checked Yelp reviews of walkable places. We were intrigued by the name of Sultan's Kite so we set off for there, what could that even be? It seemed like a mysterious adventure. We were momentarily thrown off since it, at first glance, seemed to just be a regular gyro place. But then we were greeted by a staff member who was so genuinely nice and helpful that we knew this was the right place. We each got a chicken tikka korma plate, since that was unexpected. I got the spicy green tzatziki, and it was actually quite spicy. We were surprised at how heavy the boxes were; you get a lot of food for such a low price. My traveling companion was surprised again when he realized he had eaten the whole thing, and suggested we could drive to Lincoln again tomorrow so we could come here again. I suggested he could buy another meal to take home, as I myself was bringing home enough leftovers for the next day. We really did enjoy the chicken tikka korma. So tender and delicious. The experience here was so nice, we ended up forgetting to ask what a Sultan's Kite even is. Maybe we'll remember next time.

    This place has had a glow up since I was in college! The food is just as good (maybe better) as I remember it. But with a completely updated interior. The menu is a bit confusing but start on the right side then move left. Pick your base, protein, and sauce. I recommend the rice bowl options as your base but like your life. The falafel was amazing and a great vegetarian option. The other folks at my table were raving over the Chicken Tikka Korma. The potato wedges side is great. Good portion size to split between two people. All of the portions are quite large and a great value for the price. Street meter parking is available and there are several parking garages close.

    Food was amazing, service was quick! and the ambience was pleasant, and the food was a solid 9/10 only because i accidentally got olives

    Gyro Salad

    Gyro salad was fantastic. Completely fresh. Great value. New favorite lunch place in Lincoln.

    Chicken Shawerma, hummus, salad, drink

    Well, my wonderful sister and friend ordered for me here today via GrubHub as part of my walk and her birthday celebration! I have walked by this place many times and kept saying I gotta try here. I picked up, but still ate inside. Nice and clean restaurant with good seating. The workers here were all very nice. I am not sure exactly what happened, but I think a food service driver picked up my bag of food. I had to ask for the food and it was not there at the pick up as they had said. I showed them the order and they quickly made all the food again for me. I had the chicken shawerma, salad, pita bread, hummus, and falafel bites! All was so very tasty!!! I also had a soda cup for the fountain drink of my choice... Dr Pepper! Refreshing! I will definitely be back soon to try other dishes!

    The falafel tasted like rancid oil, as if the oil had been used forever. In addition, the falafel wasn't flavorful.

    There are a lot of gyro places in Lincoln. A lot! There is one right next door! We chose this one,…read moreand it was fine. I love a good Greek salad with a lot of vinegar dressing and sometimes this is hard to find. This was not a lot of salad, it had sliced black olives; there was a lot of tomato that just didn't taste good. Dressing was not right. I did love that it was served with some good potatoes which I felt like kind of a cross between Greek potatoes and steak fries. I also like that there was a lot of tzatziki sauce. The meat was nice, not dry. It was just the "salad" part that I didn't love. Maybe next time I would just have a gyro instead. Service was fast, prices were appropriate. We sat outside. The other family members were happy, they are less picky than I am.

    I'm super bummed. I just had the worst tandoori chicken kebab I've ever had here. In more than 28…read moreyears of me coming here, this has never happened. The kebab was way smaller, overcooked (dry, whereas they used to be big and so juicy) and under flavored. The yogurt sauce was flavorless and is now served in solo cups (more plastic waste), the salad just tastes like plain overwhelming vinegar. No lemon. No tomato. The potatoes were ok but also no lemon flavor and the rice was super plain, I don't even think there was salt on it. My husband's z plate also was lacking the usual flavors we have come to love. The meat was bland. We are utterly disappointed. The prices have gone up which is understandable if the portions and flavor stay the same. I don't even know if I want to try and come back, it seems like this is the new product the newer owner is serving. Maybe his uncle will come back and refresh his memory.

    My husband went to college in Lincoln and he LOVES the Gourmet Grill…read more He has taken me a few times and I definitely see the charm in it, but I think it's a bit of nostalgia adding to the greatness for him. The interior is nothing to write home about, but you can always take your food to go and not eat inside. The last time we were there was in the middle of summer and the A/C was either broken or non-existent and there was water dripping from the ceiling. The only times we've been back to Lincoln and hitting Gourmet Grill also are during Husker football game days, and so the place is BUSY. The seating choices are pretty hard to come by on a normal day, so on game days, you'll be fighting for a place to sit - another reason to do grab-and-go. Their burgers are massive and taste like they've come off a grill that hasn't been cleaned in years, which gives it a real authentic taste (and I'm not joking, either, it's so good). And the Gyro Burger (the burger but with gyro meat added) is a good choice too. The fries are pretty good also, if you're a fan of crinkle fries (probably frozen, but that's fine, I'm sure every place has some item frozen on their menu). One of the best things on the menu, though is the Baklava! It comes wrapped in a plastic film, but it does seem to be homemade. Very flavorful and sweet with the nuttiness you're used to with baklava. Gourmet Grill has their bright spots and good things, so they are definitely worth a stop to check out if you're in Lincoln, to see if you like it!

    I wish ZERO STARS was an option. TWO nights in a row we order food for pickup, arrive and both…read morenights they tell us they're out of chicken! What??? We waited 30 minutes the first time, then 20 minutes the second time. We will NEVER come back to this poorly run restaurant. One job and you can't even do that right!!!
