Masada

Cool, I like grabbing a quick nosh at Sultan’s Market.

The folks behind Sultan’s Market are making the jump from quick-serve Middle Eastern to a full-service spot featuring live music, belly dancers and Middle Eastern-style tapas in Logan Square1. Look for a multi-level 4,000-square-foot space with both restaurant and lounge seating – you’ll be able to see the stage from all floors — plus they’re planning a posh outdoor patio fitted with lush landscaping and more. The kitchen will kick out freshly made pitas from a brick oven, plus there will be offerings like sumac-crusted rotisserie chicken and lamb ravioli in yogurt sauce. The restaurant takes its name from chef/co-owner Masada “May” Ramli, the matriarch of the clan behind the eatery (and it’s also an ancient Israeli city).

Seems as if Alhambra sparked a restaurant war…


“Masada” (Alpha Blondy)

bonus, Masada is a pretty good album by Alpha Blondy, the Ivory Coast reggae star.

    I don’t think I’d like a restaurant named after the site of a mass suicide. They might as well have called it the Jonestown restaurant.

  2. Yeah, that is slightly odd. Especially since there are still tours to Masada’s ruins.

  3. Eileen says:

    Has anyone heard more about Masada’s progress?

  4. Actually, I haven’t. Not the best climate for new restaurants, but perhaps they are progressing nonetheless.
