The women working was so sweet and helpful. She gave our baby little falafel shakers to play with to keep him busy while we ate (be still my heart!) This is always a go to spot for us while we're in Lincoln. Clean, quick, and great filling food. With the 5 different styles there's always a way to mix it up and try something new. Falafel is always fresh and hot (you can watch them make it right behind the counter). I will note the red tazaki is hotter than expected (noted as medium) but delicious! Check it out while you're in downtown Lincoln! read more

Sultan's Kite - I - Mediterranean Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

The food here is amazing, there is so much flavor and the store is always kept clean and the staff is attentive.

I got the greek salad and it was amazing! My family and I were on a road trip and passing through Lincoln so it was a perfect break from fast food and it was so light and filling! The service was great too! They were very nice and helped us decide what to get off the menu. The inside tables were cleaned well and the lighting was good. read more

Came here on a Tuesday for lunch and it was pretty busy, but the line was moving pretty steadily. I ordered the hot and spicy chicken shawarma rice bowl with red tatziki sauce and salad w/no tomatoes. The chicken was actually quite spicy and the tatziki sauce and rice was a good way to mellow out the spice. It's a good amount of food for $13. Lasted me two meals. read more

This place was incredible. Would love it if they franchised to Kansas City! Layne portions - twice meet as other places use. Excellent flavor. The gyro is highly recommended. This would be my quick meal place if I lived near one. read more

Sultan's Kite - GYRO (beef) - Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

When you walk in and 4 aunties are cooking the food. You know it's fire. 10/10. The one by southwest HS is so good

Will never order from them again through Door dash. At least in person I can see how terrible everything is. The Falafel was horribly flat, burnt and technically only 1 1/2. Couln't even see or taste the inside. Just all burnt. The fries were swimming in the Tzatziki, no salad dressing. They put no silverware in the bag, when the delivery driver asked, Sultan's said they didn't have any! I got a gyro/shawarma plate on rice. I didn't order naan or pita. read more

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! read more

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! read more

The staff helped guide our menu choices and I was very pleased with everything. The gyro meat was salty and perfect, and every other side was tasty. The place is clean, bright inside, and the art is unique. I would highly recommend as a quick lunch spot! read more

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. read more

We stopped at Sultan's Kite on our way through Lincoln. It was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. The falafel and the chicken Shawarma are both fantastic. The service was fast, the price was fair, and they are open late! If you're looking for Mediterranean food, this is definitely a spot to try. read more

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. read more

I had a great experience at Sultan's Kite. I highly recommend going here and trying the different dishes.

Great kebab shop, bright and clean inside. . Friendly staff and tasty food. Just what you need on the way home from the pub.

Read the reviews and was optimistic going in. This place definitely lived up to it! Very easy in and out experience. You choose your style (ie pita, salad, naan, rice) and then protein (gyro, falafel, shawarma, etc). Choose your sauce (recommend the red sauce which is the normal tzatziki with a little chili kick) and toppings of lettuce, tomato, feta, onions, etc. Portions are huge and still less than $10! Definitely check this place out for great Mediterranean street food! read more

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! read more

We are just visiting Lincoln and I wish we could come more to stop in here. Really great prices for a huge portion, super friendly staff, very accommodating even with a big rush. We both got Gyros and they were delicious, fresh veggies and the meat was super flavorful. If you're looking for great Mediterranean this is the place. read more

Good food, felt a little bit over priced. The portion was decent, but for around that price I would expect a small side or something. Good but not my first choice read more

We ordered food thru Postmates based on all the glowing reviews. But what we received was way different than any of the reviews state. I know there are different locations, our order positively came from this one as we were a very close delivery. Chicken Shawarma on pita - the chicken was very dry & some lettuce pieces were brown Chicken Shawarma w/salad - the chicken was again very dry & we had to pick out brown lettuce pieces Lentil soup - could have been really good, but it was too salty - plus the rice it was supposed to come with was not delivered We also ordered delivery to a hotel, and no napkins or silverware were included. This alone would not have been a big deal, but the poor food quality was the deal breaker. read more

Delicious food and very friendly and kind staff. We were given a sample of their delicious lentil soup to try. Great experience!

Wow! Great options, huge portions, very tangy and nice service! Will be back in my next visit to Lincoln read more

Listen, I've been trying to eat here ever since I saw them on some top 100 list and my neighbors kept telling me all about this joint. Since the pandemic I've really had no reason to go to Lincoln. Even before the pandemic, I really had no reason to go. Then like divine intervention, John Crist goes to to Roccoco theater which happens to be 20 yards away from Sultans Kite. The interior of this place is clean, straightforward, and illuminated with a huge wall painting on one side. Pretty sure there was a kite in that image. I didn't know if it was more of a sit down, but it's a fast casual setup which is even better. The portions are generous- the girl behind the counter kept scooping the rice and chicken for my rice bowl without a hint of reluctance or hesitation. The salad looked really fresh and a squirt of the dressing was all I needed because I could tell this plate was loaded with flavor. One bite in and I was hooked. They used sliced chicken thighs which generally are juicier and more flavorful than breast because of the fat content and dark meat. The tzatziki sauce was such a tasty complement to the dish and the side salad was enough to make me feel as if I was eating healthy without having to actually eat healthy for dinner. I was not about to let this experience go to waste so I made sure to also tack on a baklava to my order. Delicious! When done correctly the baklava should be crunchy and not soggy as I've had it in other places. The one here was crunchy, right amount of sweet, and full of nutty goodness! Sultans Kite, would you please consider opening up a location in Omaha??? read more

Delicious! I got a chicken shawarma platter to go and it was delicious! Friendly service from the gent behind the counter who was able to hold up a conversation while he put together my lunch. Salad, chicken, spicy sauce. A very decent serving and very inexpensive. The restaurant is clean, the food is tasty and the service is good. I'm a fan!

Stopped by here on a late night for a bite to eat and it was pretty decent. I got potatoes with gyro and white taziki. The service was very quick. As far as the flavor goes, it was fine. I've had a lot of gyros before, and this place was okay. Not the best I've ever had but good enough for a quick bite while in downtown. I did like the baklava, that was pretty good. read more

Killer value for money! We just moved to Lincoln, and wanted to try something new. We got one each of the shawarma, gyro and falafel. Each was very good... I personally liked the falafel most. But for less than $10/each, we even had a full serving's worth of leftovers. My only minor gripe is before we added the sauce, none of the meals had a lot of flavor. They really needed the sauce - which we tried green, red and hummus and I think the red is best. read more

It you find yourself in Lincoln and looking for some authentic Mediterranean cuisine, only place to go is Sultan's Kite!

Ate here for the first time today, it was good. Chipotle type ordering style, need to coach the folks to not overload your shawarma with too much sauce, tomatoes, etc., but overall a sound solid choice for lunch. I'll be back! read more

This place deserves all the stars in the world. I was ravenous after shooting a wedding and I stopped in here, and boy was I glad .. FOOD : their food was TO DIE FOR. I absolutely loved everything about it. Not only is everything homemade, but all the ingredients are fresh and bursting with color. You know what you're getting when you eat here. I ate the delicious chicken shawarma, amazing seasoning and cooked through perfectly. The hummus was fantastic and you could tell that it was no grocery store bought hummus. They gave me so much, and they even gave me some other things just to give them to me to try!! They put some falafel in my box because I mentioned how I liked it. The falafel was amazing, I have only tried a few other places but this place knew how to do it. With most, they make them too overbearing with flavor, but here they do it just right. The crisp outside and tender inside was amazing!!!! I LOOOVED their food, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. SERVICE : They are SO kind here you guys!! Wow. I almost started crying at how generous they were. Cliche I know.. but man. They are awesome people. Truly so kind and just love what they do and getting to feed people great great food. ATMOSPHERE : Nothing too out of the ordinary, just your average hole in the wall food gold. Stop in and walk out type of place. They have seats but it is all very very casual. It's probably good I don't live in Lincoln because I would be here 24/7!!! Love this place so much. So grateful for their kind staff and devotion to making phenom food!! read more

During a cross country drive, we found ourselves in Lincoln, NE, for the night. When our hotel clerk mentioned this place, and that they were on Door Dash, we jumped at the chance to not get back in the car. We ordered the chicken tika korma and the gyro plate. Both came with Greek salads The salads were fresh and loaded with olives and feta cheese. Even the tomatoes tasted like good, midwestern variety. The gyro meat was nicely spiced and very moist. The chick was tender and the sauce flavorful. For dessert, the Baklava was the treat. It was moist and flavorful with the taste of honey. A lovely end to a great meal on the road. read more
