    Absolutely delicious. Whenever i’m in the area i’m sure to visit. Great service. Superb portions. No greasy curries here. Lovely and tasty and at a good price. They even have a B&B on site now (I will try that soon!)

    One of the absolute best Indian restaurants I've been to in a long time. The food is delicious and the service is second to none.

    Went to The Sultan Restaurant during my short trip to Chatham. The food was lovely, I had the chicken tikka massala and garlic-cheese nan bread. Will definitely be eating here again in the future.

    What a wonderful gem this is. Got to say by far this is the best Indian restaurant in Medway. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. The staff are amazing and knowledgeable and will go above and beyond. You are not rushed in the slightest and the food is without doubt worth the wait. I’ve been here for small and intimate as well as very large family occasions. Don’t wait a minute longer give this absolute treasure a try.

    We turned up and the customer service was terrible we ordered starters and they took 30 minutes to turn up and when the main food finally turned up there was hardly any meat. Vindaloo was fully of potatoes and all the other curry's were full of tomatoes and onions and when we questioned them about it they didn't care and were so rude

    Walked into this beautiful restaurant this evening to collect food to take out. The staff were most welcoming and the atmosphere of the place was just lovely. I will most definitely visit The Sultan at some time to eat in the restaurant, such a wonderful setting. The food was absolutely delicious.

    We came here on Saturday, the 10th of December for a birthday We were in the restaurant for a hour and a half before we received our food and when it came out it was cold and I don’t mean just my dish I mean my whole parties dishes were all cold after speaking to someone they said they would go and do it all fresh about five minutes went bye, and they brought all the food back out we asked the guy have you re-done that fresh his reply was shocking. No we warmed it up in the microwave oven honestly do not go get a takeaway absolute rip-off

    We dropped in at prime time on a Saturday evening for the first time here and they were so accommodating to fit us in. Brilliant service, we felt really special and looked after. Jay was a gem! The garlic king prawn puri was epic and it is so refreshing to see so much fish curry on the menu. We will definitely be back and definitely be recommending!!

    Used this place twice in the last month and both times food was delicious. Generous portions, piping hot and a proper authentic curry.

    Great place, great people, great food. You won’t regret coming. Give you the table you ask for if asked politely. 10% of if you book the hotel next to it (Charles Hotel)

    Lovely really enjoyed our time here. Nice clean place visually pleasing nice atmosphere. Plenty of attentive staff. Food was great good portion size. Price was in line with most Indian restaurants in the area. My only moan is that the soft drinks where expensive. Would definitely recommend and revisit soon.

    Mediocre and this was mainly due to large table which was excessively noisy and being so close to our table meant it was very difficult to hold a conversation or hear each other. Service was incredibly slow Air con made it very cold but when turned off became quite oppressive - no happy medium unfortunately Staff were quite difficult when it came to paying. People wanted to pay their individual bill but they wanted us to pay one lump sum No baby change facilities - had to change tiny babies on toilet floor, no bin for dirty nappies Quite disconcerting that random 'guests' from hotel just wander in and our of the restaurant Overall pretty disappointing and I will not be rushing to return

    The food here is amazing , great atmosphere and service , the reason I have only gave 3 stars is my night was let down by the absolutely shocking price of soft drinks here. My wife and I had 3 pints of diet cokes which came to £17.70. The menu just states glass of for 2.95 which I presume they double and placed in 1 glass slightly miss leading in my opinion. No one in their right mind would pay £5.90 for a pint of Diet Coke I don’t think you would pay that in central london. Some of the pints of lager were the same price. Great place but I think they need to have a look at the disproportionate soft drink prices.

    Great food lovely staff. Very knowledgeable about allergies. However service is very slow. Last two visits just two of us took an hour to get our main.

    Dined here this week- though the ambience was good and the restaurant was large compared to similar Indian restaurants the food is just not worth the high prices mentioned on the menu and the quantity of each dish being absolutely minimal! One of the special dishes we ordered were “Karachi Mughal Special” which was priced at £14.90 and was supposed to be a combination of chicken, minced lamb and king prawn- little did we realise that they literally meant 1 king prawn along with 3 pieces of chicken with some minced lamb served in a metal dish almost the same size as my daughters kitchen set bowl. The “Tandoori mixed grill “ again not worth the price (£15.90) given the small quantity of 1 small chicken leg, 3 small pieces of lamb and 3-4 pieces of chicken, the price could be lowered or the quantity slightly increased to justify this. Instead they generously garnished it with peppers and onion which me and my kids didn’t like- would have rather ordered a veg dish instead. The stuffed rotis also lacked meat in them as we ordered the keema and tikka rotis. . Other similar rated Indian restaurants in the area probably do serve more quantity for a lesser price and taste. Overall the taste was just ok but not great with price and quantity being a big negative. Request them to serve in slightly bigger bowls whilst preserving authenticity. Definitely will not be motivated to visit again as i don’t think it’s worth the bill.

    Food is really good, staff are attentive. Not too expensive. Definitely plan a return visit to sample some more of their expansive menu

    So disappointed after having lovely take outs went for a meal for a birthday. After over 2 hours waiting less than half of our party served, other half had finished eating before ours came to the table. This was after asking where our food was. Can’t even say the food was nice after the long wait! Had to send several dishes back as they was cold the only thing that was hot was the bowl. Avoid at all costs stick to shozna. Complain and they start stripping your tables whilst you’re still seated. I hope the owner of this restaurant takes a look at these reviews,I can see we’re not the only ones with this kind of experience. Save yourself some money get a microwave curry from Asda you will be more satisfied.

    Had an evening meal here with 3 work colleagues. All chose something different from a fairly extensive menu. Serviceve was attentive and professional. Waiter gave good advice on what to select as suitable accomaniment to mains. I had a keralan fish curry with a lemon rice which was a first for me. Delicious.

    We’ve used this restaurant several times for takeaway delivery. The food has always been delicious. However tonight they let us down , they took my order online . An hour later no delivery . I rang several times talking to someone different each time. .I was told that the delivery was in transit . 45 mins later still no delivery . Rang again after a ridiculous conversation I was told the food hadn’t even been cooked ! I told them to cancel the order and refund my money Appalling customer service being lied to and told delivery was in the way when it wasn’t even cooked . No apology from restaurant We won’t be using the restaurant again

    Shahin He was the best servant i’ve ever met in my life. He knew what the costumer needed. He also asked if I like the sweet food or the salty since i’m not familiar with Indian food. He take care of u all dinner long
