    Both the service and the food was amazing. We got beiruti hummus, tabbouli, chicken platter, lamb kapsalon, and some shish tawook to go. Everything was absolutely perfect, and cooked well. They were so nice in getting everything packed up for us as well. I’m going to be in Aruba for a while so I’ll definitely be coming back here again before I leave to try some other things. I confirmed with the waiter that the meat is halal as well. 10/10 would highly recommend

    Sultan Restaurant is the best arabic food that I tried all my life in Aruba. I KNOW SULTAN RESTAURANT not from now but for 20 years. Now they have Sultan in Palm Beach. Always good service and good quality at the 100%. You eat and you stay satisfied of your dinner. Sultan have a lot of competition in Aruba and still Sultan is the Top # 1. The one that say negative of Sultan restaurant are big looser and a haters that don't know about food. I recommend every tourist, and locals people go to the best restaurant and the best arabic food you get it in Sultan Retaurant. Just go try the food, and taste it for yourself. There are two of them , one of them you get in Dakota and the other is in Palm Beach. You will not regret, the price are super good and everyone can come without doubt.

    Came in August 2022. A ver pleasant experience at Sultan ! We got the platter which included many appetizers and main course items. All the meat skewers tasted amazing and the rice/bread was made fresh ! The garlic sauce and spicy sauce were also great additions to the meal. The appetizers in the platter is why i am giving 4 not 5 stars. The salads were both very good, grape leaves were ok and kibbeh was also ok. The one thing we did not like at all was the falafel. Being a seasoned eater of middle eastern cuisine, and cooking it to, I could tell right away this was made from a instant powder. It was not good ! Everything else was great if they could just make better falafel it’s a 5 in my books. Good service and the wait was a little bit longer then other restaurants in Aruba, but in all nothing excessive. Don’t hesitate to try it definitely worth a try ! It is also halal for anyone concerned.

    We've been to Sultan many times over the years. The last 2 times were not good at all. Maybe it's the new ownership ( We have heard they are not Lebanese at all, but I cannot confirm that) or maybe the food has just gone downhill. We ordered the Fatoush salad, Lamb Shoarma and Falafel Shoarma. The Fatoush had nothing Middle Eastern at all. Just a salad you would make at home. I doubt if it even had dressing. The Shoarmas were tasteless. It seems a popular place with people coming and going, but you wont see us there anymore.

  • 4/5 Belinda H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good food, for a reasonable price. Since they are generous portions, you can also pack the rest. Waiters were nice. Ambience is moderate and unfortunately it is too cold down indoors .. (Original) Sehr gutes Essen, zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Da es sich um grosszügige Portionen handelt, kann man sich den Rest auch einpacken lassen.. Kellner waren nett. Ambiente ist mässig und leider wird drinnen zu stark heruntergekühlt..

    I love the sultan, love the food 1 tip put salantro in your salad that would be master. For the rest change nothing its sweet

    My wife and I dined at some of the fanciest and most expensive restaurants while vacationing in Aruba. We stopped in to Sultan for dinner, on our last night there, and found it to be our favorite of all. The food was delicious, service was great, and the prices were the most reasonable of any other restaurants we ate at. I wish we had discovered it at the beginning of our vacation as we would’ve dined there almost daily.

    If you want to find places tourist don't go or know about, ask a local. Our friend that lives on the island recommended this place because he knew I loved a variety of coffee and this place had Arab coffee. It was great, made in a small pot they bring to the table. A lot like espresso. Then we ordered a platter for two and I think 4 could have eaten it. Delicious and we were stuffed. Mediterranean is one of our favorite and this place will be on our list next time we're here.

    The food was good The grape leaves did not have much meat in it. Too tangy not as good as Jordanian grape leaves. The Tea was good. The shawarma , taboula , hummus , kibbe was all delicious. Service was good and friendly. The decor is very nice It's shocking how nice it is inside Very cool tourist spot for a hookah and Middle Eastern food. I didn't have the hookah I am a student and was eating before finals I did not get to enjoy the full experience but as a Middle Easterner I would say this is a great spot to come during your vacation for some good food hookah and a less crowded atmosphere it is a very close cab ride from the Ritz-Carlton.

    as a person who grew up in the Middle East, I can tell you dear reader that this restaurant is a high-quality Lebanese good. their hummus is freshly made and their tabbouleh is so tasty. Their tenderloin is juicy and well cooked, would highly recommend one of the good places to visit in Aruba.

    We are very fond of this restaurant, easy going, quick, friendly service. Nice food, quite some vegan/veggie options.

  • 5/5 Eileen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food. Excellent service. Very reasonably priced. Worth the trip over from the high rises. Wacky Wahoo always so crowded and you have to eat outside looking at a parking lot. Come up the street a bit further and you can dine in a beautiful dining room. Definitely worth to come here. We got the dinner for 2. Delicious and so much of it

    (Translated by Google) I am of Lebanese origin and I recognize that I am extremely demanding when it comes to eating that type of food outside the home. I took the risk of placing an order at the sultan and I cannot put into words what or what it was all about! Huge portions, super fresh quality, and unbeatable flavor. (Original) Yo soy de origen libanés y reconozco que soy sumamente exigente a la hora de comer ese tipo de comida fuera de casa. Me arriesgué a hacer un pedido en el sultán y no puedo expresar con palabras lo o que estaba todo! Las porciones enormes, la calidad súper fresca y el sabor inmejorable.

    Enjoyed this meal so much with my GF. We got a hooka and a variety platter to split. A little pricey but so is everything on the island. Staff was friendly. FYI- not real shawarma but tasty.
