Grilled lamb at the (newly returned to El Cajon) Sultan Meditteranean It's no secret that our region's best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food is most often found in El Cajon. Though, for a while, some of it was found in the Gaslamp. For a few years, Turkish chef Sultan Usta operated Sultan Kebab & Baklava out on Jamacha Road. But then, about ten years ago he moved on, reappearing a short while later downtown with Sultan Baklava Mediterranean Cuisine. So it was that, until the pandemic came along, the Gaslamp could righteously boast killer baklava and döner kebab.
