    The Adana sandwich ($6.95 with fries) features a ground lamb kebab slightly charred on the grill wrapped with lettuce, tomato, red onion, love, and homemade lavash bread—but mostly love.

    So good! Tabouli-excellent. Feta pie - deep fried amazing. Falafel - gone. We destroyed our food because it was so good.

    Great for a date. Byo, romantic atmosphere, and delish food. Try the sultans dish and sampler cold appetizer.

    The hummus and bread were delicious and the Iskandar was on point!

    Sultan's Delight is an awesome dish. Kurt and his staff do a great job all around. Oh, and it's BYOB - no cork fee.

    There's free off-street parking here, but it's so limited you shouldn't count on it.
