  • Decolonize Tasting Menu

    USD 80.00 per person

    29 Nov 2024 - 31 Mar 2025
    Did you know that using the word curry to generally refer to sauced preparations of South Asian cuisine was a British colonial invention? The word curry did not exist in South Asia. This winter, we’re bringing you a six course tasting menu that showcases sauced preparations with their original names and constructions. Join us as we decolonize our language and reclaim South Asian cuisine. Optional wine/cocktail pairing available. Not available same day. Must be booked 24 hours in advance. We offer 2 seatings at 5 pm and 7 pm.

    This was our second visit to Sultan. We enjoyed the "small plate" concept because it allows us to sample so much more variety. The food is delicious and the service was highly responsive. We will go back again.

    Great take on Southern Asia cuisine. Service was very slow and then fast. Drinks took 25 minutes and then food came out in a flurry. That’s fine when there is room on the table. The beef shank (Nahiri) was amazing! The naan (Garlic) was amazing. Cocktails were unique and quite good, albeit expensive for each one. The daal was rich and vibrant with a lot of lemongrass, which I like. The ambience was really loud and some people may find it too much to have a conversation. I would like to try again when it is less busy and there is something new on the menu.
