Reviews in Lancaster

We were booked in for 8pm......the restaurant was fairly quiet and we received our starters around 8.30pm - this was just poppadums. We did not receive our mains until 9.45pm and nobody came over to explain why.....although plenty of takeaways seemed to be leaving the restaurant......disappointed

Great food and fantastic choice.

5 star

Lovely meal and friendly staff. No social distancing however which was a bit of a shame. We were OK due to the way we were facing but it was less than 1 mtr.

Really tasty food but service wasn’t very attentive.

Lovely staff and great food

Fantastic food and service. This was our first visit to sultans and we wernt disappointed. The staff were great, especially Ash who ensured we were well looked after. The food was tasty and really good quality. We did come in for a birthday meal, Ash made sure the birthday girl was made to feel special. Overall a brilliant meal and a great atmosphere.

Lovely curry as per usual.

Excellent food with attentive staff.

Terrible food. Don’t mind paying good money for good food however we paid over £155 for some very low quality food as well as the service. We did not expect Michelin star dining so please don’t think our expectations were over the roof however being served a mix grill with 1 kebab and 2 chops with A dry tandoori game chicken breast for over £12 is absolutely ridiculous. Followed by the curries which were bland and sweet? Food was clearly warmed up in a microwave or put into a dish on the stove and served. I’m assuming the manager was the one wearing a COVID 19 face shield Who just seemed rude and not interested with customers. I witnessed many people just try gain staff attention to order/ask for assistance but it took staff ages to get to them! Toilets were not a good sight either. For a building with its history and character this restaurant is a huge let down! We visited on Saturday evening (just so you know our review is not fake like the other 5* ones written by sultans employeees) lol

Great food, good service and nice place, would definitely go again!

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. You won’t be disappointed.

We ate at this restaurant on Friday 6th Mar. We started the meal with a couple of cocktails which were expertly made. We then ordered our starters of Mussels for him and oysters for me. The mussels came in a tomato and chorizo broth that was very rich and packed full of flavour, the oysters were served on ice with a shallot vinegar and sweet chilli, both were very tasty. For main course, I ordered the cod and he ordered the Seabass. The cod came with a Lobster velouté, medley of steamed greens, soft poached egg + sourdough croutons and was cooked perfectly, the sea bass came with Smoked bacon lardons, tomato, white wine, basil, garlic concasse, tiger prawns + chargrilled asparagus and again fantastic, the mains came with Dophinoise potatoes to share. This was all washed down with a good Sauvignion and then followed with another couple of cocktails.....hic! We were not rushed at all throughout and the staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be making a return visit soon

Beautiful interior with a very helpful and friendly host and waitress. There was a great choice in food which was well presented and tasty. The service was instant and well organised considering there was a large group of us. Would definitely return if we come back to Lancaster.

Visiting our daughter who is studying at Lancaster University. Had a terrific meal, the monkfish was delicious. The staff were friendly and professional throughout. Definitely returning.

Excellent menu selection, nice presentation and great taste. Friendly service. Waiting time for meals good. Had a great evening - many thanks.

First ate at the sultan over twenty years ago, it had a very good reputation then and having recently moved back to the area it is still excellent. The dishes are well prepared and I've always found the staff very friendly and attentive. Always recommend it.

Good food and ambience.
