Sultan - Cardiff

I found it quite difficult to rate this place. It 's definitely not a 5 star but felt that 3 would be too harsh on the things that are good about it. It 's not expensive and they serve a wide variety of non alcoholic drinks (smoothies and milk shakes with a middle eastern slant) and mojitos. The food is a bit of a mixture from quite poor (Lamb Tagine) to genuinely excellent (Lamb Arayes). My recommendation would be to stick to a variety of starters and avoid the mains (although the chicken shawarma wrap is fine if you want a takeaway). The Lamb Arayes is excellent, as is the Potato Chap (much tastier than it 's description makes it sound) and I would also recommend the soujouk& halloumi (a bit dry but tasty non the less), the meatballs (authetic so the sauce might not be to all western tastes), and the Grilled Tiger prawns, whilst there 's nothing wrong with the Halab Kubba (same as kubbe elsewhere), or the meat and cheese bouraqs, or the Battata Harra.Because the prices are so reasonable, it 's probably no surprise that the lamb shanks are of poor quality if only they 'd add on an extra couple of pounds and up the quality it could be good.Unlike others on here, I 've never had a problem with late delivery or missing items in the several times I 've tried them for home delivery

Nothing special but same food as other Mediterranean places offer. A bit expensive. Probably we paid a bit extra cause of the ambience.

Had several deliveries from here, but they've used up all their chances now. We've had wrong orders, dishes missing, been over charged, food over cooked, food undercooked, and on 2 occasions delivery has taken 2 hours. I wont be returning! There are far better places like this to eat in Cardiff!!!!

I visited the sultan on Wednesday just gone on my own , I was made to feel very welcome and the waiter went above and beyond for me . The meatballs and prawns were to die for ! And I cant wait to go again the food is so worth it that it didn't even bother me that they don't sell alcohol .

Ordered hummus as a starter and this had a spicy kick to it and although we did not order the spicy hummus it was still good.My friend went for a chicken option and said it wasn 't bad but not quite as good as usual (she 's ordered many times from here). I had ordered the hallomi and veg but was disappointed to discover my order contained no hallomi what so ever. That being said the food was still quite good (some veg was lovely but others such as potato was undercooked). The rice and chips were pretty standard but the salad was really good! All in all I would order again from here but I would do it via telephone not 'just eat ' to try and avoid any mixed up orders and would check everything is as ordered on delivery.
