Location

A five-minute walk from the top of Byres Road, it’s easy to find.

First Impressions

White tablecloths and touch of simple Indian decor make Sultan’s feel familiar and welcoming.

Service

Our excellent server explained the menu, recommend dishes, and was very knowledgeable. One of our party was vegan, and the chef was very happy to alter dishes.

Menu

Packed with the dishes we all know and love, the menu has something for everyone.

Taste

Quite simply a feast for the senses. We started with poppadom and spiced onions, of course, before moving on to crunchy vegetable pakora, aubergine fritters and a delicious papri chaat with a lovely yoghurt sauce. We decided to share a few curries, opting for potato bhuna, South Indian garlic chilli chicken and, our highlight of the night, Goan fish curry. Packed with traditional flavours and perfectly blended spices, it’s clear the chef knows their way around the kitchen. We mopped up every last bite with fluffy chapati and spoonfuls of rice.

Ambience

We sat on the mezzanine level, away from the hustle and bustle – a fabulous spot for some people-watching!

Price

Very reasonable. The bill came to just under £70 for three, very stuffed and satisfied, diners. The restaurant is BYOB with a small corkage fee, which is great for a frugal Friday night.

Something special

You’ll find a touch of Glasgow on the menu – mince and tatties. Don’t expect your nan’s go-to midweek meal, as this dish promises an “Indian twist”.

Toilets

Clean, but on the small side.


P.S. Cardamom is one of the most popular spices in Indian cooking, and can be used for everything from sweet to savoury dishes. There are two different types of seed: green and black
