“Best falafel and Shawarma“

“me and my boyfriend tried this place out for the first time during summer & immediately fell inlove with it. From customer service to the food is great . Always welcomed in. Ever since then we come here once a week or every two weeks , so much options & for great prices. The chicken is always well seasoned ! Have literally tried almost everything off the menu & it’s just great. Also customer service is amazing ! They are so polite & if asked for another sauce or anything in general they never give an attitude like other places do so that’s a top, asides from that for any inconvenience they always find a solution too. One of my favorites spots ! & of course I’ll be back there soon !“

“I've been to this restaurant twice, and both times were amazing! The lamb Haneeth is an absolute must-try – it's sooo good. The flavors are just incredible, and the meat is so tender. The servers were super nice too.
Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!“

“I had my sons engagement party last Saturday. I was totally impressed by the food and service. My guest called me the next day raving about the food and the hospitality that we received.

“This place *never* lets us down. The food is delicious, fresh and just so tasty. Their hummus is the BEST- they add some delicious garnishes on it. Best hummus I’ve ever had. Just too good and reliable. My kids love it too which is great.“

Mohammed was the best and made us wanted to come back the following day for another dinner!

Go and you won’t regret it!!“

It is very pricey $$$$

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free items on menu.

Parking: Good food, but very overpriced $$$.
Be prepared to spend a lot of money.“

“Great food and great taste! Must try out every thing“

“Absolutely outstanding! The food is extremely fresh and timing of the dishes during our visit was spot on. Our sever, Juan, took care to watch from afar and make sure our meal flowed. The busser was on his game as well! I don’t think my water ever fell below the halfway point. We enjoyed the Gyros ( a must try), prawns, mussels, potatoes, and saganaki. The portions were perfect. To be honest, we should have called it quits after the prawns but we couldn’t help our selves, it was just that good. Owner stopped by for a quick hello and welcome. He’s doing a fantastic job with this location and I do hope he continues to do well. Highly recommend Mana for both the food and ambiance.“

“Alsultan's mixed grill is a true feast for the senses! The variety and quality of the meats are outstanding, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to juicy perfection. Each bite offers a burst of authentic flavors, from tender lamb to succulent chicken. The portions are generous, making it ideal for sharing, though you’ll want it all to yourself. The accompanying sides complement the meal beautifully, adding freshness and texture. The service is warm and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. If you're a fan of grilled meats, Alsultan is a must-visit—absolutely delicious and satisfying!“

“So I’ve been at this place a lot of times and it’s great! The food is great but the wings are a bit too salty and yea it’s great. Sometimes the workers ignore you but it’s not that deep. I love that there is some comedy to watch. But the place is real crowded on the weekend so e sure to come early. There isn’t that much outlets as well for me to charge my phone.“

“Everything was great and the staff was awesome“
