The Royal Sultan Restaurant & Bar

"Indian restaurant in Castlemaine but they also serve things like HSP - great variety of all. Had heaps of vegetarian options, spicy and non spicy options, sides, curries, chips and other fried foods, etc! I had the Coconut Fish ($24) which had such great flavours- flavours of the curry was such a highlight. Blue grenadier in turmeric, mustard seed & coconut milk curry - would happily eat multiple bowls of this curry, not spicy at all but so flavourful and smooth and when mixed with the rice- absolutely delicious. Only thing is I found the fish to be a little over cooked so not as soft as I’d like. Also tried the pani puri ($14) which was my first time and absolutely loved it! Was tangy and sweet and the hallow pastry was so crispy and overall such an amazing mouthful! Would definitely get this again. Positive reviews across the table so the other dishes seemed very tasty too"

"Great garlic naan bread, tasty butter chicken and smoked lamb curry. We had an early dinner so it was quiet (which we prefer)"

"It could go either way when a travel story starts with ‘six hungry adults walk into a country town restaurant at the same time’, but our experience at The Royal Sultan at Castlemaine was absolutely fantastic. The owners/servers were fantastic, weren’t fazed as we appeared (for lunch) without a reservation. The food was amazing, of note were the malai kofta, the coconut fish curry and the lamb curry. Do yourself a favour and order the garlic naans as well. We did park up the road as the parking outside the restaurant was full. There was a steady stream of patrons for the time that we were there to finish our lunch, shows that they are well frequented by the locals and out-of-towners alike."

"Best Indian food ever!! I absolutely love Indian food and this is the best place in Castlemaine!!"
