We are so glad we chose The Sultan's Tent to celebrate our 40th Anniversary celebration with the family. From the moment we entered......everything was so good. The decor made you feel like you were in Morocco. Our server ABIGAIL went out of her to make our evening a night to remember. The food was delicious with good portion sizes.......recommend Braised Lamb Shank, Seafood Tagine and Braised Ribs. Of course the highlight of the evening was the Belly Dancers. Make The Sultan's Tent your go to restaurant for your next celebration or even a fun evening.

Always outstanding. It’s great for vegetarians and meat lovers. The jeweled rice is not to be missed, an absolute delight. The way each dish was layered in flavor is just masterful and truly difficult to replicate. On the pricier side, it is a treat and perfect for special occassions.
