Restaurant: Sultan’s Market Makes a Great Falafel Sandwich
Sultan’s Market

There is also another location at 2521 N Clark, but I went to the one in Wicker Park so that is the only location for which I can vouch.
Sultan’s Market is supposed to have the best falafels in Chicago. While I don’t feel that I could go as far as that, not having had that many in Chicago proper, I certainly had an excellent falafel sandwich there.

In many restaurants, their falafels get too hard on the outside and dried up on the inside. At Sultan’s Market, their falafels are crispy on the outside and nicely moist on the inside. In making my sandwich, they squished the falafels so I didn’t end up with the usually difficult to eat lumps inside the pita.
I had a generous glob of creamy hummus and lots of Jerusalem salad. For $4.00, it’s a steal.
The sandwich comes in three levels of spiciness. The mild was great texturally but a bit too bland for me. Next time, I’m going for the medium.
