| - When I found out that Sultan Kabob House served halal dishes, I was all over this one! I finally get to eat a hamburger, chicken burger, meatballs, and kabobs?!? Yes sir. Okay, lets start off by the location: Very unassuming and quite sketchy. Its on S.Tryon, turn into the mini shopping plaza right after passing Westinghouse Blvd.
Now lets move on to the place itself: Its a very down-to-earth, casual place. Nothing fancy at all. Its decorated with big beautiful hookas and arabic caligraphy on the walls. Very nice touches.
Food: Usual Mediterranean fare (Chicken kabobs, Shawarma, Falafel, Lamb chops, Shish kabobs, etc) and appetizers (hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape leaves, Tabouleh, etc) They even have fish kabobs, meat pies and pretty delicious pita bread.
I ordered the chicken kabob plate which came with rice and a few pickled carrots and a tiny pile of salad, and my sister got the chicken burger that came with seasoned fries (very good). Both orders were delicious, nothing that made my mouth sing, but I was grateful to finally get to eat something thats not seafood or vegetarian. I must make you aware of the serving size: Not very substantial.......atleast for me. Maybe I was just too hungry? But I left feeling like I had room for another little some'm, some'm. The price? again, when I feel the portion wasnt enough, then you know Im gonna complain about the price. It didnt match up with the portion size.
Anyway, both my sister and I liked the food and we also got to conversate with the owners. They are NY transplants and are trying to build clientele in a new city. The owners wife is a gorgeous woman, very slim with long pretty hair (I dont know why Im describing her? but she's pretty and stood out, thats all!) So basically if you're in that part of town and crave some Arabic food, then you know where to find it.
