| - I love Moroccan food. I love food in general but I have to say that the Sultan's Tent was just ok. I found that The Casbah had a better menu, the restaurant itself was a lot nicer and the portions were waaaay bigger.
We were a fairly large group, about 10, and I was well aware that the food would take long because Moroccan food is an art and can't be rushed and all that jazz, I get it! But it took about an hour for the appetizers and another hour for the main, and we ordered the family style platters which were self serve. The appetizers were rather small for the price points and the platters had a larger couscous to meat and veg ratio that I found odd. The waiter even told us that the wait would be longer than usual because they ran out of chicken! WTF? How do you "run out of chicken?" I'm sorry, does this menu not consist of primarily chicken? I guess they had to make a run for the Safeway just up the street.-sigh-
The service was incredibly slow and it took half an hour to get the bill. At about $400 for 10, no booze and an 18% automatic gratuity, and most of us were still hungry, we felt really screwed. For $40 a pop, it was not worth the money.
For the food quality and taste I give the Sultan 4, the service and portion sizes I give him a 2, for the dismal parking situation I give him another 2 and for running out of chicken during dinner I give him a very disappointing 1. All in all a 2.5 star rating and a "won't be returning anytime soon" from this foodie.
