The Original Pulse
When Sultan’s Market first opened its doors in 1995, it didn't start as a full-scale restaurant; it began as a modest neighborhood grocery store with a small food counter in the back. Everything changed when May Ramli brought her smooth, scratch-made hummus to the counter. As local artists, musicians, and neighborhood workers discovered her authentic family recipe paired with warm pita, that humble grocery counter quickly became a vibrant gathering place for the community.
Over the last three decades, Wicker Park has transformed around us, but our mission hasn't changed. What started with May's signature hummus has grown into a Chicago dining institution, built on the same generous portions, family tradition, and authentic hospitality that defined our very first day.

Our Place in Wicker Park
Wicker Park has long been one of Chicago’s creative hearts. Founded in the 1870s by brothers Charles and Joel Wicker, the neighborhood was shaped following the Great Chicago Fire into a district of sturdy brick and stone built to last. That architectural ambition still defines the area today, especially around the iconic “Six Corners” intersection and the historic Flatiron Arts Building, a century-old creative hub reflecting Wicker Park’s connection to art and culture.
Over time, Wicker Park evolved into one of Chicago’s most influential cultural centers. By the 1990s, it emerged as a hub for artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs where new ideas met old Chicago grit. It was during this transformation, in 1995, that Sultan’s Market opened its doors at 2057 W. North Ave. What started as a small Middle Eastern eatery quickly became part of daily life, feeding students, creatives, late-night crowds, and longtime residents alike.
That history of renewal now stretches above the streets along The 606 (Bloomingdale Trail), a former industrial railway transformed into a 2.7-mile elevated park. Today, it connects Wicker Park’s industrial past to its vibrant present and offers the perfect route for a walk after enjoying a fresh falafel or shawarma from our counter. Sultan’s Market remains proud to be part of that rhythm, a familiar stop on North Avenue where tradition, flavor, and community meet.
