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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

This place has had a glow up since I was in college! The food is just as good (maybe better) as I remember it. But with a completely updated interior. The menu is a bit confusing but start on the right side then move left. Pick your base, protein, and sauce. I recommend the rice bowl options as your base but like your life. The falafel was amazing and a great vegetarian option. The other folks at my table were raving over the Chicken Tikka Korma. The potato wedges side is great. Good portion size to split between two people. All of the portions are quite large and a great value for the price. Street meter parking is available and there are several parking garages close.
