Restaurant Sultan in Erfurt

Went there as a group with a reservation and opted for the large platter. After about an hour the starter came. This was rich and delicious. The many dips and salads barely fit on the table. However, more bread could be served here. After another hour the main course arrived. The chicken skewers were very good, although the beef skewers were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, and the lamb was also burnt and tough. Unfortunately, the restaurant is also getting a bit old. Too bad.

There were five of us there, an appealing atmosphere in the front area, very, very tasty food, the service person yesterday wasn't very attentive, since we were the only guests in the restaurant, that couldn't have been the reason for his listlessness - or maybe that was exactly it The crucial thing 🤔...the service was inattentive and careless. That was a shame!

We had dinner on a Friday with a group of 15 people. The restaurant was full and the kitchen, which was too small for the number of seats, was completely overwhelmed. The starter of our platter for 4 people came after just under an hour and was still adequate. However, others in our group had to wait two hours for their food. Something like that doesn't work at all. It doesn't help if the chef apologizes to the guests. The starter was okay. The meat of the main course was partly burnt on the outside and still raw on the inside. The lamb was of poor quality and inedible for me. Definitely not appropriate for €40. The waiters were at least trying hard, but also overwhelmed.

It's been a long time since I ate as badly as I did this evening. At the beginning we were supposed to change our table, which we didn't want to do. As the evening progressed, many other guests also had to vacate their tables for subsequent guests and were seated elsewhere. An hour wait for the starter, which looked so indefinable and tasted a disappointment. The main courses looked deliciously prepared, but that was about it. Tough, burnt flesh. Unseasoned, simply inedible. The fries were soaked in fat, the bread served with it was flaky and dry. 3 spoons of rice, cold. Totally overwhelmed staff and very unfriendly. No organization, the hectic pace and excessive demands were noticeable and visible in the actions and on the faces. Plates kept flying to the floor in the kitchen. Once and never again. This restaurant is probably one of the worst we have eaten at in recent years. The restaurant is definitely not recommended. A lot of money for nothing.

I'm sitting here right now and have been waiting for an appetizer for 1.5 hours. I don't think I need to write more

Been there for the second time, waited about 1.5 hours for the food for the second time, for three skewers and some salad. We were here for the last time!

Despite the place being full, all three employees are always polite and helpful. Mixed grill platter was very tasty

We had dinner at Sultan on a Friday evening. The food itself is okay, but not outstanding-absolutely average like so many restaurants in Erfurt The service leaves a lot to be desired. Even at the beginning, despite having a reservation, they wanted to sit us at a table that first had to be wiped down, even though other tables were already set. We didn't really feel welcome. As the orders continued, the poor service continued. The wine wasn't there, soups were out and main courses couldn't be ordered either. After we found something, we waited 1.5 hours for our food. It was very full, but then you have to organize things differently. It's clear to us that we won't be coming back! The operators may not be interested in that, but maybe one or the other will consider whether they should eat there. It should also be mentioned that it wasn't particularly clean.

Super recommended! The chef is super open to special requests, the staff is very nice and accommodating and the food is a dream! A must have in Erfurt! Definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely worth recommending!!! If you haven't been here yet, you definitely have to go :) Super delicious food and lovely staff. Special requests are even personally appreciated by the chef. We are totally thrilled and will definitely come back.

The food is really delicious and highly recommended. You can be lucky with the service, but you don't have to. He seems a bit listless about his job. The ambience is ok if you don't look closely, for example in the toilet. I would still like to come back because the food is simply delicious!!!

- very tasty food for a low price - Chef looked after the right person at the table - Dessert and schnapps were included on the house

Very patient with children 👦🧒🫃🫄

The first time there was okay, the food was good but relatively expensive, the service was unfriendly. But! Change your opening hours on Google and on the website! The restaurant closes at 10 p.m., not 12 a.m. as stated!!! Despite prior reservations (!!!) for 10 p.m., they didn't want to give us a table. After several questions and insistence, since we had reserved, we were reluctantly given a table (we then decided to go to another restaurant because there was no welcoming atmosphere there.) The restaurant actually has potential but you should look for new employees! Friendlier and more organized.

We were able to enjoy very good Lebanese cuisine here. The evening was a pleasure. Always my pleasure!

Very great food and good service. Unfortunately, the toilet area was a bit dirty and the noise in the restaurant could have been dampened a bit better.

Nice restaurant with super delicious food. You should book in advance if possible, as it's hard to get a spot (at least on weekends). The service wasn't particularly friendly (hopefully due to the full house).

A catastrophe: first of all, our reservation wasn't made and then we had to "squeeze" into a table that was closely surrounded by other tables. The table arrangement in the restaurant was a disaster, really. We sat at the back, think it was the staff table. My friend got her food after about 20 minutes, I had to wait 90 minutes for it, in the end they said the lamb cutlet was out and they had to get more first. My food tasted good but nothing special. With my friend it was a different story, the food was returned almost as it came without asking the waiter. We were really very disappointed with this evening...

Visited Sultan today with a large group, the food tasted excellent. Whether meat dishes, vegan or vegetarian dishes, everything is very tasty and definitely recommended. We'd love to come back.

The food was super tasty and filling. We can only recommend it!

Friendly staff, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere – absolutely recommended!

Cozy atmosphere, good foo, but a bit slow service which they compensated by giving some starters on the house. The sweetdish wasn't that great though.

I wonder if it is done handcuffed?

Such delicious Lebanese food really authentic. We ordered the menu for 4 people. There was everything you could wish for. Meat, vegetables, various creams.

This was our first time eating here because we always wanted to try it. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant was already full. The food was really tasty and freshly prepared. Unfortunately there was no Jallab for drinks. So we ordered different juices. Instead of cranberry juice, strawberry juice was brought. But it wasn't too bad since I like both juices. We found it a bit strange that the table was wiped down after eating while we were still sitting. We also observed this with other guests. What was also unusual was that you obviously had to go to the counter to pay. I can't say whether this was an exception or is standard. But this was practiced by all guests. The service works quickly and professionally, but seems a bit cold. We would definitely like to come back.

The food is very delicious and the hospitality is excellent

The food is very sweet and the hospitality is very nice

To get straight to the point, the food was really good... BUT: We had reserved a table for 5 p.m. on a Saturday. The restaurant opens at 5 p.m. - we were among the first guests. The waiter wasn't really friendly... We got a seat and the waiter gave us the cards. These were disgusting, stuck on the outside and when I opened them the pages flew towards me. Then I noticed the waiter's apron... I don't know when the last time she saw a washing machine was. Endless stains... and the restaurant had just opened. Then the food came... it was really good, as already written... Then the chef himself came to ask how we liked it - a really nice gesture... But he shouldn't have done that, because his clothes were also dirty from top to bottom... stains, old food residue... disgusting... Unfortunately, I always imagine what it would look like in corners that the guest doesn't see, in terms of personal hygiene not to mention... As a chef and as a restaurant you have to have a certain standard of cleanliness, even when it comes to your own clothes... So I'm not sure whether I would visit the restaurant again or recommend it...

Very cozy atmosphere, good service and delicious food 😊

We had a very delicious dinner today. Absolutely recommended.

Very nice place and very authentic Lebanese food! I advise any Levantine person to go here Amazing service as well :)

The food was really delicious 👍 I had a vegetarian Mäsa platter, which also filled me up. The service was very nice, although it would be a little more pleasant if people asked every now and then whether anything else was needed. It would be great if there was also a warm vegetarian main dish. All in all we were very satisfied.

The food didn't taste good and, above all, it was too little and too expensive. The service was also very bad and unfriendly.

Very good, tasty food. We shared the platter for 2 (starter = dips & flatbread | main course = rice, meat, flatbread & dip | dessert) and 4. That was easily enough for us women. A great selection of dips, the meat was super tender. My highlight was the parsley slat. The dessert (cakes with rose) was also very tasty. Very attentive, friendly service. The decor is a bit cold, but it depends on the food :) . The reservation directly via the Google function did not reach the restaurant, it is best to reserve by phone.

The food is great and the store is always busy. Unfortunately, they are often understaffed and this results in errors when ordering. You get very tasty food but not necessarily what you ordered. You should also bring plenty of time with you. But the staff are mostly very friendly.

We ordered online - the taste of the food was good, but that was the only positive thing. At first our order via Dish was not accepted, after 45 minutes we inquired by phone and were advised to order again via Lieferando, our order would then be ready immediately. The food arrived after another 75 minutes, and in the meantime we were called back again regarding the dish order. When we were able to receive the food, it was a big disappointment: initially nothing was numbered or labeled, despite the vegan, vegetarian and meat order. Rice instead of potatoes ordered as a side dish for one dish, beef and chicken instead of two skewers for another dish, only two desserts instead of three delivered, not enough bread. Laughably small portion sizes, the rice side dish is three heaped tablespoons of rice, my Mäsa plate included a dumpling, a falafel, a mini piece of cauliflower, a cherry tomato and two small slices of eggplant, as well as a small plate with dips and 1 tablespoon of tabbouleh in the middle 16.50€. By the way, telephone availability for ordering, complaining or whatever is also very poor. We were definitely very disappointed...

Food was very tasty, everything freshly prepared Definitely recommend it

I come from Berlin and have visited numerous restaurants here (in Berlin) over the years. Was invited to the Sultan Erührt by a friend and I have to honestly say that I have never eaten something so delicious! It was simply great! The service was also great. Would recommend the store again and again.

Very tasty and highly recommended. Absolutely top value for money. The plates for one person are highly recommended and hardly manageable. We'd love to come back! Vegetarians will also find something on the menu.

Great food and very, very friendly service. We'd love to come back

The two of us were there for dinner. We had the menu for 2 people and absolutely loved it. 👍🏼

We had a lovely evening. Delicious food, friendly service.

Food ok, but service so unfriendly and arrogant that it's no fun there.

During a repeat visit six weeks ago, we discovered how much the restaurant had lost. It seemed loud, hectic and the waiter seemed arrogant and unfriendly. We wanted to make a guest happy and were ultimately ashamed of this failure. We definitely won't go there again.

A good place to unwind with delicious food from the Orient, whether vegan or with delicious meat side dishes.

The toilet stinks in the establishment, cobwebs hang on the walls, the tablecloths are dirty, the waiters look unwashed, the food there is disgusting, but the taste is not bad!

Everything was to our satisfaction. The service staff were quick and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. The prices are reasonable.

Excellent culinary buffet for our group of 12 during catering! We had the pleasure of booking Sultan Restaurant for catering in Erfurt and it was an unforgettable experience. The culinary buffet was rich and varied, with a selection of delicious meat and vegetarian dishes. The portions were generous and we were treated to additional treats. The service was outstanding! The staff was attentive, friendly and made us feel completely comfortable. We were greeted with a smile and received quick and efficient service throughout our event. The Sultan Restaurant offers an extensive selection of dishes to suit every taste. We were impressed by the quality of the food and the professional service. If you are looking for a catering service that will delight your guests, Sultan Restaurant is the perfect choice!

After we got our food after 1.5 hours, we unfortunately discovered that it was completely unfried and not cooked through. Service unprofessional and really loud music. A real shame!

We ate there with the “Schlemmerblock”. Just to try out the restaurant. We were not disappointed and had a very good meal here. The staff is courteous and nice. The prices are acceptable.

Good restaurant with good food. It took a little longer for the dishes to arrive, so points are deducted. Tables were clean, as were the toilets. You can feel comfortable here.

Was okay but nothing spectacular.

Very nice, well-run restaurant, all dishes prepared very freshly and absolutely authentically Service is great and Lebanon has very good wines

The food was very delicious, the service was a bit stressful at the beginning but later became more relaxed.

Delicious. Great staff. 5 Stars! Very happy again.

The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean. Nice and helpful staffs. But they use washroom's deodorant for the dining area! That was the only negative point.

Zu Stoßzeiten ( Sonnabend Abend) voll, laut und eine grenzwertig unfreundliche und schlechte Bedienung. Lieblos. Keine Empfehlung!

We ordered home. A friendly man called again to say that it was taking a little longer, which wasn't a big deal on Saturdays. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the value for money. For the money you pay, you can also eat well and, above all, eat more elsewhere. The taste itself was solid, but there were 1-2 dips that tasted like foot and all in all the taste was not outstanding. We wouldn't order again or go to the restaurant.

Unfortunately the buffet was a bit poor for the price. Great taste.

Very good atmosphere and very tasty food! It's worth it!

Everything is perfect! The food is very tasty, definitely recommended!

We recommend!! Food very very good! We were all absolutely thrilled. Everyone would be happy to come back. Thanks to the entire team.

I want to tell the truth that the foods and meals I eat are delicious and accessible to everyone

Delicious food and always a good conversation with the nice waiter Zaradacht. Gladly again!

The Sultan Restaurant offers exquisite dishes of the highest quality that enchant the palate. The service is first class, always attentive and friendly. The ambience is elegant and inviting, perfect for special occasions or romantic evenings. Overall, Sultan Restaurant undoubtedly deserves five stars for an unforgettable dining experience.

Kind regards for Zaradscht best man

I would like to express my disappointment regarding our recent visit to your restaurant for Iftar. Unfortunately, after waiting patiently for 15 minutes without any attention from the staff to take our order, we regrettably decided to leave. While I cannot comment on the quality of the food, I believe there is room for improvement in your service operations to ensure a more satisfactory dining experience for your patrons.

Exceptionally good food. Very diverse, fresh and authentic. Despite a lot of guests and a lack of staff, everything went well. Thank you to the boss and his team. We'd love to come back!

There were five of us at the Sultan today and it was incredibly tasty. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. We will be back definitely.

Great service and delicious food. What more do you want.

Leider überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen. Das Essen ok, aber mehr auch nicht. Alles lieblos, schmuddelig und unangenehm. Ja, unangenehm trifft es am besten. Die Toiletten sehr, sehr schmutzig. Da gehen wir definitiv nicht wieder hin.

Everything was very tasty, we had the platter for 2 people, it was absolutely enough and there was something for everyone.

Very much liked, very polite and courteous service.

The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating! Added to this is the great ambience with appropriate music, which is rounded off by the excellent food. Indescribably delicious, I can only warmly recommend the platter for two people. Always happy!

very nice atmosphere, delicious food, great waiter

Lekers food very friendly staff clean restaurant

Super tasty, great ambience, very nice service. Reservation strongly recommended.

We ate there today and were thrilled. We were sent here by Google while searching for Indian food and have to say, the mistake wasn't a bad one. The food was great, the staff professional and we would love to come back. You should plan time for the quails.

I was in the city and some friends sayed we go there ,it was just amazing night thank you

We were there today, although it was always full, but everything was great, the food, staff, the food came very quickly, thank you all, it was a great experience

The food here is excellent with great service from the team. I would highly recommend. It has a nice atmosphere for singles, groups and families!

A pity! Praised in many reviews, there was no choice for vegetarians in the main courses, fish was out half an hour after opening. No dessert, a small plate with no choice, no information, but instruction 😒

We were there yesterday, it was busy but we had a good evening, the service, the food, the attention, everything was top, we had the vegetarian Mäseplate, it was incredibly healthy food, first came the cold starters then the heat, we were all family since it was eacht good preservation. We will be happy to come back and we recommend the restaurant. Thank you very much for everything

We received excellent advice today on our first visit in a pleasant atmosphere. We had an excellent meal and are already looking forward to the next time and the round table. We'd love to come back

The worst service ever! We had to wait for ages to get our food and when it finally arrived, it was cold and poorly cooked The worst service, the food came late and cold This is where the spoon and kidney are Nothing is better!

Das Essen, eine Platte für zwei, war echt total lecker, vor allem wg der verschiedenen Dips. Unbedingt reservieren, es war Anschlag voll (Sa Abend) und die 2 Kellner kamen fast nicht hinterher, ebenso die Küche. Deshalb gab es nur 5 verschiedene Platten zur Auswahl, alle anderen Gerichte konnte man nicht bestellen.

Wir hatten gestern Abend am Samstag für vier Personen um 19:30 Uhr reserviert. Wir haben unserer Tisch erst nach einer 25 minuten bekomen. Nach einer halben Stunde wurden wir dann das erste Mal bedient und haben anschließend nochmal über eine Stunde auf unser Essen (nur wenige menge Vorspeisen) warten müssen. Hauptgericht hat auch ca. eine Stunde gedauert und kam wenig gegrillt wegen viele Bestellungen. Das Essen war OK aber lohnt sich nicht dorthin zugehen...nie wieder.

Das Essen war fantastisch, der Service, nachdem wir zuerst wie Schwerverbrecher angeschaut wurden und das Eindecken des Tisches zelebriert wurde wie ein sehr großes Opfer, weil wir ohne Reservierung kamen, eigentlich ganz gut (es waren 4-5 Tische frei und Ladenschluss noch lange nicht in Sicht) Das Ambiente ist optisch ganz nett, aber es roch ziemlich nach abgestandenem Zigarettenqualm. Vielleicht kennen Sie das: alter Qualm überzieht alles mit so einer Art "Patina" , wodurch sich alles ein bisschen schmierig anfühlt. Die Toiletten (zumindest für Frauen) waren unter aller Sau. Ich habe es mir verkniffen. Kurzum: wenn eine Putzkraft engagiert wird die ihr Handwerk versteht, der Laden außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten nicht mehr vollgequalmt wird, wird man in Zukunft eine Reservierung brauchen. Und zwar weil es wirklich voll ist. Denn wie gesagt: das Essen war ganz große Klasse.

Sehr gutes indisches Essen mit einer großen Auswahl an verschiedenen Gerichten.

Ich kann leider gar nichts bewerten, da wir trotz vorheriger Reservierung mit 6 Personen keinen Tisch bekamen. Auf Nachfrage zeigte uns der Mitarbeiter den für uns " reservierten "Tisch und sagte die Gäste bezahlen jetzt und wir möchten uns 5min gedulden. Dies taten wir auch. Nach 15min warten, stellte sich heraus, dass der gezeigte Tisch noch nicht mal mit dem Essen fertig war. Ein weiteres Nachfragen wurde vom Mitarbeiter gekonnt ignoriert. Nach einer verschwendeten halben Stunde sind wir gegangen. Service also komplett unprofessionell.

Wir hatten gestern Abendessen, wir waren insgesamt 3 Personen, das Essen besonders die Mäsa hat uns sehr gefallen, alles war lecker und frisch zubereitet. Es ist sicher, dass die Mitarbeiter dieses Restaurants eine lange Erfahrung in diesem Bereich haben, daher ist es unmöglich, dieses Lokal auszuprobieren, ohne mit dem Service und der Gastfreundschaft zufrieden zu sein.

Essen schmeckt super lecker, tolle Atmosphäre und schönes anbiete

Oben nur Salat und Zwiebeln unten nur Fleisch das ist der ekelhaftedigster Döner der Welt zu viel salat

Im vorderen Teil ist das Restaurant eindeutig gemütlicher. Hinten ist es behelfsmaessig und etwas gedrängt. Es dauert etwas länger bis das Essen kommt, die Kellner könnten etwas aufmerksamer wegen der Getränke sein. Das Essen war super, schmackhaft, frisch und lecker.

Tolles Restaurant. Super lecker. Freundliche Bedienung. Essen unbeschreiblich gut. Auch spontan mit Reservierung Platz bekommen. Gern wieder. 👍👍👍

Wir haben gestern zum ersten Mal hier gegessen und waren absolut begeistert . Leckeres Essen , tolle Auswahl und sehr liebevolle Zubereitung. Das war nicht unser letztes Mal im Sultan!

Hi zusammen. Da wir in Erfurt zu einer Vorführung unterwegs waren, wollten wir auch vorher schön Abendessen gehen. Arabisch Essen kannten wir bisher noch nicht. Was uns erwartete, hat mich sehr überrascht. Die Bedienung war super freundlich, das Essen echt lecker und die Preise human. Die Gaststätte ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Fazit ist eins, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr schlecht . Es gibt keine Sauberkeit💨

Nervige Musik, Essen war durchschnittlich, Kellner leider absolut unfreundlich und hat Bestellungen vergessen

Meine Frau und ich mussten den ganzen Abend überlegen ob wir jemals so gut gegessen haben. Absolute Empfehlung, wir werden Erfurt für immer mit diesem Restaurant in Verbindung bringen.
