The service is outstanding, since all waiters would pay appreciated attention to our tables. The quantities were great, especially for big eater : a very good deal regarding the prices !

I was introduced to the Sultan of Lancaster two decades ago when I was first working in Lancaster…read more To this day, I make it a point to eat here whenever I return to Lancaster. The Sultan is one of the best Indian restaurants anywhere IMHO. The aroma of authentic Indian cuisine greats you as you enter the Sultan. My all-time favorite dish here is the Lamb Vindaloo (5/5 £13.35) -- a fiery, spicy curry with tender lamb. I enjoy it with a side of Corriander Naan (5/5 £3.85) and some Mango Lassi. Located in a former Methodist church, the Sultan has kept many of the church's features in the dining room, which contribute to the atmosphere. It also does not serve alcohol, but there's a pub nearby for a pint before dinner. The staff has always been welcoming, friendly and attentive.

In my opinion the prices were standard of modern restaurants (£7-10 for a main)(which is a little pricey, in my opinion). The staff were generally okay, but compared to other restaurants in Lancaster (see Imrans), they were pretty unfriendly. The food came within a decent time and was hot, which is always a positive sign especially as I was part of a large group. Overall, I wouldn't tell people not to visit Sultans. But rather, I would tell them there are better places in Lancaster if you want Indian/Pakistani food. But this is only my opinion, based on one dining.

The first thing that struck me is that quick check of the menu meant we knew the menu better than the staff! Ordering a pint of Cobra resulted in confused looks and us having to find the item on the menu to prove we weren't making it up. The starter was adequate, just not very tasty in my opinion. I think I might be spoiled by places like Aagrah and Akbars in Leeds where the flavours are exceptional but the 'special' starter just didn't live up to its name. The mains were also to the same quality as the starters, probably to the same standard you would expect from your local takeaway (which is fine but for the £50 we spent you expect a bit better) Strangely the Chicken Tikka Massala had pineapple in it? Never had that before. On the plus side, the cashew pilau rice (after proving to our server that the dish DID exist as part of their menu) was excellent and the Naan breads were perfect. Probably wont be going back but if you did want to try, get a takeaway as they offer a 15% discount...

My first impression of the Emperor of India was formed by one of the other customers, who was…read morehaving a heated debate with one of the waiters at the end of his meal. The gist of it seemed to be that they'd brought him out a bowl of butter instead of a bowl of ice cream, which is a bit weird, but we thought he was going a bit overkill on the complaint. And then we sat down to our own meal. They got the order wrong, brought everything at different times, and then shortchanged me by about £15. Customer service is evidently not the Emperor's thing. The food in itself wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good, either - too oily and not up to the standard you'd expect for the prices they were charging, which I put down to the fact that this seemed to be the only Indian restaurant in a tourist village - the captive audience means they can charge what they like, and I guess they don't rely on repeat custom. One to avoid!

A review for the buffet with a pint here for 9.95…read more Sipping on my warm watered down excuse for a pint of carlsberg, I witness the staff pour the left over chicken tikka into another container of sauce across from my table. This may explain how the pieces of chicken whilst soaked in sauce, can yet be so dry. This restaurant takes self service to a total new experience for me. With the waitress resting her head on her elbow behind the counter, I have been left to uncover all the warm/cold food, and personally place a serving spoon into each container myself. I think had I stayed for over an hour I may get reimbursed for some of the abysmal meal with my serving contributions. Very disappointed is an understatement.
