  “Completed Ben Nevis and I thought I would treat myself to a grand meal at Sultan of Keswick. The food was 11/10. The food was made to perfection and the service was excellent. I can't wait to be back here when I complete Scafell Pike next!”

  “We stopped by for dinner when visiting Keswick. My husband is a former Peace Corp volunteer and we have eaten Indian food for years, in many cities. This Bangladeshi restaurant was a wonderful surprise. The food was fresh and the recipes were complex, well-prepared and delicious. The service was excellent.”

  “First time here and couldn't fault the food or service. The Lamb bhuna had large chunks of tender fat free meat, mushroom rice was spot on, coriander garlic nan tasted as good as it looked, chicken shashlik was served bone dry but came with a seperate curry sauce biriani style and the masala chips were good. All in all very tasty and generous portions, prices ok as well. The Cobra came in at £5.40 not bad at all. Will visit again.”

  “Used takeaway service (collection only) and food was first class. Wide range of gluten free options (including the popadoms), vegetarian and usual meat curries. Recommend Captain Patia one of a range of signature dishes you may not have seen before. Restaurant is on the edge of town so definitely worth a try if struggling to find a spot but booking recommended especially at weekends in season. £67 for four mains with 5 sides and popadoms for 4 takeaway (20% off restaurant prices).”

  “We randomly stopped by Sultan of Keswick on the high street while on holiday in the Lake District, and what a lovely surprise it turned out to be. We weren’t very hungry, so we only ordered something simple - chapati, dal, and rice — but honestly, the taste was amazing. We enjoyed it so much that we completely finished every plate — nothing left at all. The food felt truly homemade: fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. The chapati was perfect, and the dal was so tasty and satisfying. It was exactly the kind of food you crave while traveling — simple, warm, and made with care. The restaurant itself is stunning — every wall and corner is decorated with elegant Indian artwork, showcasing traditional beauty, sarees, and jewellery. It feels warm, cultural, and very thoughtfully done. The service was also excellent. The young owner was very kind and polite, spoke to us warmly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Even though he seemed to be rushing to head home, he still took the time to greet us properly and made sure we were comfortable. We’ll definitely visit again whenever we’re back in the Lake District. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious, home-style food and friendly service.”

  “Sultan in Keswick is a cosy little spot with a warm, welcoming feel. The menu is full of fresh, flavourful Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. The lamb dishes are especially tender and tasty, and the vegetarian options are just as good. Staff are friendly, helpful, and make you feel at home without being over the top. Prices are fair for the quality and portion sizes, and the atmosphere is relaxed, making it a nice place for both families and couples. A lovely find in Keswick, definitely worth a visit when in town.”

  “Very pleasant experience. Staff were very accommodating. Met the owner and had a lovely chat with him. The food was good, the portions were huge!! Definitely worth what you’re paying for. We ordered the lamb biryani to share between the two of us and we still ended up taking some home in a takeaway box as we couldn’t finish it. Atmosphere was ok, the area has a specific demographic which the restaurant caters too. They tried to target a younger demographic but found it difficult. Hence their reasoning for serving alcohol. Overall pleasant experience, taking into account that there is not a lot of halal options at the Lake District area.”
