New City's Best of Chicago 2005

Maybe I'm crazy, but I seem to remember the food at Sultan's Market being a lot better when I first moved to Chicago about 4 years ago (or thereabouts). I used to live near there and ate there fairly often. I seem remember the Falafel actually being - gasp! - freshly fried when you ordered it. I ate there a couple of weeks ago (I had an appointment nearby and had to eat something quick) and the Falafel tasted like it had been fried at least a couple of hours ago. It wasn't very nice.

However, I also knew a lot less about good food (or food in general) when I moved here, so it's also possible that Sultans Market has always been pretty bad and my taste was just less discriminating. It's quite possible.
