Sultan — Restaurant in Bristol

I've been eating from this restaurant on and off for many years, mainly takeaways. I've seen all the new ownership and name changes etc, but was very disappointed with the takeaway I recently ordered. I gave this restaurant another chance as previously had disappointment with their food. However like I said, I was disappointed with this last takeaway. I ordered chicken Madras, the chicken was tasteless and had the texture of marshmallow, the sauce was just a bright red liquid that was just basically a chilli powder mixture, none of that aromatic flavours you expect from a restaurant. The Bombay potatoes were undercooked and were no signs of garnish, ie, coriander or tomato, just a boring sauce with firm potatoes! It seems there's not much attention to detail here, nothing much has changed since my last visit....

The last takeaway I’ll ever have from the “The Grand Sultan”! Very watery tarka dhal (more or less tasteless), cauliflower bhaji smelled like it was off (rotten), bland korma sauce and the nan bread was cold. The veg madras had some taste but vegetables were as usual massive chucks of potato and shredded cabbage. It’s as though they just don’t care! Sorry to leave a negative review, but honest feedback is important if customers are to be satisfied...

Be Aware: Butter Chicken Contains Coconut

If you have a coconut allergy, I’d recommend avoiding the butter chicken, as it contains coconut and looks and tastes the same as their korma. When I inquired about this, the staff explained that their butter chicken is essentially korma with butter. It was not anything like a traditional butter chicken. If you’re deciding on having it, you may want to clarify ingredients...
