Cool, I like grabbing a quick nosh at Sultan’s Market.
[Sultan’s Market, Wicker Park]
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…
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.
Yeah, that is slightly odd. Especially since there are still tours to Masada’s ruins.
Has anyone heard more about Masada’s progress?
Actually, I haven’t. Not the best climate for new restaurants, but perhaps they are progressing nonetheless.
