Food average. Went because of the meerkat offer they are clearly signed up too but then refused to acknowledge it. The excuse was 'we haven't done that for over a year'....then how do I have a meerkat offer specifically for the Sultan!!?? Clearly false advertising from the Sultan. Didn't even offer an apology or reduced bill as a good will gesture. Good job meerkat compensated us. Will never visit/eat from this restaurant again

My wife and her friends were very disappointed to discover on arrival that the restaurant did not have a licence to serve alcohol and did not allow customers own alcohol to be brought in. The food however was excellent.

Recently got food poisoning from this restaurant, specifically from the Chicken Dupiaza ? Which is a shame as it was one of our regular take-aways. But we won't be ordering from here again for the foreseeable.

Food was nice, but the restaurant is not worth a visit. No alcohol either

Clean and delicious, first time trying, and won't be the last, bang on time too. Well done.

This was a shocking, disappointing take away, so bad I had to leave a review. And I want to make a complaint at the standard of food.We use to love the sultan Indian in Stives years ago but knew it had gone down hill a while back so we don't normally use them but we thought we would try here again as someone told us it had improved again, oh how they were wrong. We are regular Indian eaters and this was so bad...First of we got a knock on the door, great we thought food was on time. A rude delivery driver didn't even say hello just looked at me with evils and passed me a bag, I said thanks he didn't say anything and stormed off. This made me feel horrible. I was thinking okay , I can live with it if the food is nice..We then opened the bag to get the food out onto plates and the sauce just looked oily , It was small portions and just cut big bits of onions and peppers, hardly any sauce/curry. I thought it looked bad but thought ild try it, this has to be the worst curry I have ever ordered. It didn't taste of anything. It was a chicken dupiza, the chicken was fine, not dry but the rest was tasteless. It left a horrible taste in my mouth and was just really was rank. The popadom was ok and nan was just standard. The rice tasted weird and everything was watery, I had to leave loads of cut up random onions and big bits of pepper that tasted weird, this is so unlike me to leave food, especially with my favourite food!Very very very disappointed. The sultan use to be a great Indian with friendly staff. What has happened. I feel robbed .

We have been very well received by the owner Junaid who provided us with impeccable service. The food was also lovely. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality and affordable Indian cuisine.

Well worth a visit. Delicious food and very friendly efficient service. Would definitely return if in the area.

We had not eaten in this place for a couple of years due to covid etc. But we went this week and things have dramatically changed. They do not sell alcohol anymore, there is no back ground music as there was. The room is shabby and threadbare. There is absolutely no atmosphere. The food was of poor standard and then to round it of the bill was given and I was extremely shocked at the total, very expensive. A very disappointing experience and one I would not recommend .

We have ordered takeaways multiple times from this establishment and on every occasion we have asked "can they make dishes vegan?" On every occasion and speaking to multiple members of staff, we have been told they can make anything vegan. Upon ordering tonight, our usual order, we were told they could not make this vegan due to using butter and cream There was no apology when we explained we had previously been told it was vegan and clearly lied to. The person on the phone tonight who seemed to be in charge even said that the previous people we spoke to 'must have lied' and showed no concern about this. We are very disappointed with this and will not be eating here again. Fortunately we do not have any allergies or Intolerances as this could have been very dire for anyone who does have allergies. Very very disappointing and would not recommend.

I had a delivery tonight the food was not Edable at. Called to complain and they hang up on me. And refused a refund. Now they are not answering the calls to me. Would not use again avoid

A warm and friendly welcome was followed by very tasty meals. I cannot understand some of the negative comments for this restaurant; the staff and food (especially the lamb achari bhuna) deserve better recognition. We will definitely return.
