Sultan's Express Lansing — Restaurant in Lansing

I would eat lunch here 3-4 times a week when I was in lawschool. I've eaten everything on the menu (3-4 times a week multiplied by 3 years in law school...Yeah, I had everything on their menu) and I can honestly say that I was never disappointed. It's been a few years since I moved out of state, but not a week goes by that I don't have a craving for their Mujadara, Hashwi, Tabouli, Borgul, Lentil Soup, Fatoush Salad, Falafel, Fried Kibbie, or Shish Kofta. Their Shawarma is what I compare all other shawarma to, and their Hummus is almost a religious experience.

(I have literally had dreams of their Hummus).

On top of that, the owner and employees were always kind, helpful, and (when it wasn't too busy) good for a friendly chat. Simply put - amazing food, amazing people, it is the gem of...

This is THE BEST Mediterranean in Lansing! If you like shawarma, they have the most tender and most flavorful chicken, whether it's shawarma or the deboned chicken.

Shawarma wraps are excellent, and the cauliflower wrap. My coworker did not prefer the egg plant, but I've never had it. Abdullah, the owner, is great and will treat you well and make sure you're happy. He is from Palestine. He also treats his workers well. This place is a hub for downtown workers, so lunch time is understandably busy, but don't let a long line keep you away, they keep it moving so it...

I've been coming to this place for over 8 years now. I work in East Lansing but still drive out once a month or so to get takeout (because it's always been that good and worth the drive) Though lately, I have been very disappointed in my meals. The quality and portions have drastically decreased over the last year or so. Garlic is less than half full most of the times, sometimes has a freezer burn taste to it, now only 2 pita triangles instead of 4, my kabob lunch came with 4 small pieces of chicken, 2 slivers of onion and 2 slivers of green peppers. Not sure what has changed, but the portion received for the money spent...I guess I need to start favoriting a place a little more convenient. ...
