About Sultan Of Lancaster

If you want to dine in fine style, the Sultan of Lancaster – housed in an old Methodist church – ticks all the boxes. Many of the building’s original features such as the ornate ceiling, decorated pillars and carved screens have been retained in the refurbishment and this makes for a unique dining experience. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 5pm-11pm and the menu covers all the classic Indian dishes as well as more eclectic Signature Mains such as King Prawn Rangoon, Chicken Mango Exotic and the extra spicy Lamb or Chicken Naga. Try the Mixed Thali (meat or vegetarian, for two people) which is a selection of various dishes served on a platter. There are some yummy desserts too like Sticky Toffee Pudding and Jam Roly-Poly. The Sultan of Lancaster does not serve alcohol but has plenty of juices, shakes and lassi. Takeaway is available, collection only, at 15% off main menu prices.

Disappointing is how I'd describe the meal we had at the Sultan. The venue is great but it's not that popular so there's no real atmosphere. Service was ok but nothing special. So to the food: poppadoms were ok but felt like they'd been cooked earlier. The accompaniments were awful. An orange gloopy sweet one, a red gloopy spicy one, an uninspiring yoghurt one, and some raw onions. Years ago any Indian restaurant would serve you mango chutney and lime pickle - this was way below that level. Main course lamb biriani was ok, spice level just right, except it came with a vivid red 'sauce' that had been made in a factory somewhere not in the kitchen. Again the memory banks are telling me that a biriani comes with a vegetable curry. Nope, not here it doesn't. This place needs someone to care about how poor it has become, and fix it, and fast!

We had an early pre-concert dinner here, so the restaurant was understandably quiet. It's a nice building, the food was tasty and the service efficient and friendly. I do think, however, it would be a good idea for them to make it clear that they don't serve any alcohol at all.

We visited for my husbands 50th birthday and had a really lovely meal. The staff were great and they really looked after us. The naan were so yummy and complimented our curry.

Great food, good setting. The service was brilliant, couldn't do enough for you. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely go there again next time I'm in Lancaster.

A beautiful setting, responsive and very friendly staff, and the best tasting Indian food I’ve had for a long time. Our party of 4 all tasted each other’s dishes and the food was all exceptionally flavourful without being drowned by too much heat/spice. We had the best evening out and paid a very reasonable price for it too. Very highly recommended - “Sultans” are definitely one of the food highlights of Lancaster.

We booked as a group of six friends for a Saturday evening meal. We arrived at 7:15 and were greeted by a very friendly young man. There were not many diners in the restaurant and we were served very quickly. The food was good and was tasty. The only downside was it was very cold in the restaurant and I had to leave my coat on for the whole time which didn’t give me a pleasant dining experience.

We were the last customers of the evening so it's difficult to say much about the atmosphere, however, we were very relaxed and didn't feel uncomfortable being the only ones in. We chatted with the staff. We loved the food and the service was great. It was busy earlier in the evening but we were at a concert at The Town Hall. We were very glad they were still open. Thank you.

My wife and I visited for the first time recently - it won’t be the last. Staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant, warm and clean. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. We had a great night. Many thanks.
