Sultaan's Contemporary Indian Cuisine in Scottish Borders

Fantastic food & service. Would highly recommend, best curry house in the the borders.

Sultaans were able to accommodate 8 of us last minute. Service was fantastic and the food amazing. Highly recommend.

Great curries and friendly staff. South Indian garlic chilli madras hit is the go to. Can't fault it

Couldn't be a friendlier team, always remembers us when we call. The food is always amazing and fresh. Often a free treat to try. Highly recommend this restaurant

Delicious takeaway, lovely staff and very good value for money.

We recently visited visited Sultans Indian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the flavors and quality of the food. The King Prawn Korahi was delicious and the Chicken Jalfrezi was equally as good.

Great takeaway, food here is always great quality and we are treated so nice as regulars, with our favourite dishes remembered!

Excellent takeaway again. Just love this restaurant. Food always good, very pleasant staff and generous portions

Went with friends for a special meal and the food was outstanding. Every dish was perfect and so tasty and such high quality. The service was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Attentive but not invasive. I highly recommend Sultans of Hawick and we will be back.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent staff. All the food was fabulous. I had the Chicken Karahi which was wonderful. All four of us enjoyed all starters and mains. Would highly recommend.

Very disappointed just ordered a take away and my chicken pakora is so dry that I can’t even eat it 😡 my curry is tasteless what a waste of money 🤮

The food was superb at this Indian restaurant. I had chicken zaal aloo: very fresh-tasting & aromatic with a nice dry warmth. My wife had chicken Chaat: really rich & savoury. It was all excellent value & the service was prompt & friendly. We live in the West Midlands, where curry is a way of life, but we return regularly to Hawick where, from now on, Sultaan’s will definitely be a fixture. Many thanks for an excellent meal!

Just had the most delicious meal at this delightful family run business. Great service, attentive staff, fab food and well served. Friendly attentive staff. A very enjoyable evening all round.

Use this resteraunt all the time always get amazing food with brilliant service, 5 stars all round

A real find, have used a few times now for takeaways. Always excellent quality food with a very varied menu. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend

Having a break away in hawick, decided to have a birthday takeaway an this place did not disappoint, food was delicious, if your in the area I would recommend to anyone.

Well they acheived the impossible at Suultans, the 1st curry I've ever had with no flavour whatsoever. I'm not talking mild, I'm talking no flavour at all. The chicken may aswell have been cooked in water. The dish was a Dopiaza which I've had hundreds of times so I know what to expect. Galric Naan was burnt and thick and doughy. With some weird green paste on it. The only saving grace was the mushroom rice, that was actually decent. Goes without saying I won't be using them ever again.

After a late arrival from London, Sultaans was one the only places we were able to find still serving food and we had a brilliant meal. The food was amazing and very good value - super welcoming staff. Would certainly recommend

Would highly recommend this restaurant . Once again our meal was delicious . Great portions and still very warm when we got it home . Had Chicken Korma rice Naan bread Also had pickle tray which was delicious Staff are so nice and friendly Wouldn’t go anywhere else best in our town

Great food that tastes amazing, big portions, the staff are lovely, I would highly recommend them, they do the best sweet nann

Lovely restaurant with great staff and amazing food, will defo visit again

Had take away meal tonight was excellent Big portions . we couldn’t finish but will save till tomorrow 😂 Another excellent meal tonight 24th May 2024 Had chicken korma rice naan bread Korma was so creamy and lots of chicken Naan was huge. Such lovely friendly staff We had take away and it was still lovely and warm when we got it home. We also had pickle tray which was lovely . Best restaurant in

It's been a very long time since we had such delicious Indian (Bangladesh) food. Definitely recommended. Chicken dish was very hot, as we wanted and the vegetarian dish was wonderfully mild, without deviating from the original. Normal prices. Good atmosphere. Fantastic recommendation

Great staff, fantastic food..couldnt do enough for you.. super evening Highly recommended it..second time visited there, will definitely go again.

An overnight stop in Hawick with a friend, starting in spoons with a beer to chill. Then we decided on an Indian meal at Sultaans. We were both extremely delighted, very good food and service.

Just ordered a takeaway. Arrived 15 minutes early. Food was excellent. A GR8 experience. Love the restuarant.

Random find on a trip out in the area. fantastic food, great prices, lovely friendly staff. The chicken kata Meeta Balti was divine, a real taste sensation, although every item was top notch, i don't think I've ever had better keema pilau. Will definitely be back when we are up this way again. Thanks

Visiting Hawick for a wedding and the only two places open the night before was 'spoons and Sultaans so we opted for the Indian. The reviews were fab and we weren't disappointed. Ali looked after us well and each part of the meal tasted delicious. I can honestly say that it was the best Indian restaurant meal I have had. Between the four of us we had, lamb byriani, butter chicken, Tams special, chicken dhansak, veg rice, pashwari naan (yummy), sag kobi and sag dal. And, it turns out that Ali used to work in the Wrexham area, which is where we four are from. Small world! Thank you Sultaans.

Absolutely lovely. Very generous portions.They recommended the chicken tikka balti. It hit the spot. I live 400 miles from here but I’ll return whenever travelling north.

Brilliant dinner out with family. Delicious courses throughout. Service was great! We really liked how attentive and friendly Chan was (apologies if wrong spelling). We have no doubt the upcoming new menu will be as delicious as the existing menu. Onion bhajis particularly amazing. Thanks to all the team.

Visiting Hawick and decided to order from Sultaans. The food was so good we went back the following night and once again the food was delicious. Years of sampling different curry’s this is one of the best. The sag paneer is amazing.

Superb friendly service. Freshly prepared food. Really tasty. Not rushed. Great value for money. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Monday evening dinner. Great food. Thanks.

Where to go to eat on a Saturday night in Hawick for a change. We hadn't been to an Indian restaurant for quite sometime so decided to give Sultaan's a try. The restaurant itself was fairly quiet however there was a constant stream of people ordering and collection takeaway. The food was excellent. After the poppadom tray we waited quite a while for our main meal however that is usually a good thing. It was well worth the wait we really enjoyed it.

Got a takeaway from here. Great service, great food and the staff was very attentive. Great experience.

We normally have takeaway from here and it’s always good to Last night we had a sit in meal and it was excellent couldn’t fault it staff we very attentive will definitely be back

The delicious, food both vegetarian and meat and friendly, attentive service compensate for the rather scruffy surroundings and lack of atmosphere. Worth going

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was a delightful experience.

Had a lovely meal, food was lovely and service was excellent

The food was amazing the place was nicely decorated. We were well looked after. Excellent service. Very highly recommended this restaurant.

Stayed locally got a takeaway it was very nice great flavour we would go again next time we were up!

Had a few deliveries from here and the food is always prompt.,hot and delicious and the value for money is exceptional absolutely 5 star

Sultan Best Indian restaurant in scottish borders I will be back eating chicken balti and lamb balti + pilau rice nan bread

1st time. Food beautiful. Definitely will make this a regular dine in/ take out experience

We were well looked after at Sultaans. Food was tasty and a bit different from your typical Indian restaurant.

Had an amazing meal at Sultaans this New Year’s Eve, food was amazing. Service was spot on, gave us some time between courses and finished with a lovely complementary drink. We will continue to go as we have never once been disappointed. Happy new year to all the staff

We decided to have our Christmas lunch here. The food was excellent. Varied choice. Authentic food, very fresh and tasty. Service was brilliant. Were given time between courses making it a lovely relaxing day. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome, excellent food and good value.

Great food, big portions, what more do you need?

Great range of dishes on the menu. Delicious food and attentive service.

We poped in for a curry after reading the reviews on here. We are touring Northumberland and the Scottish Borders in our motorhome and had a need for something spicy. We weren't disappointed, the food is excellent and simply one of the best curry's weve had in years. Ignore the plastic tables, the focus is on the food and service.

Dont be fooled by the plastic tables when you arrive, Sultaans focuses on the food and boy have the got that right. Just had one of the best curry's I've had in years. If your within 50 miles of Hawick youd be stupid to miss this place.

Come here for a curry whilst working in the area Lovely curry,Great service I really couldn’t fault it

One of the best chicken tikka masalas I have ever had. The choice & quality of food is amazing and the staff are very accommodating & helpful. Highly recommend. 5+ stars.

Visited this restaurant with the family. The food was amazing the place was nicely decorated. We were well looked after by Ali, excellent service. Very highly recommended this small restaurant.

Fantastic food in a clean environment. Staff are always very polite and helpful. Would recommend highly.

Fantastic Indian food, staff so polite and friendly, excellent service ..highly recommended

Unbelievable quality.. especially as wife is Gluten Free. Advice was spot on.. The food is to die for Highly recommended 👌

Spontaneous treat to celebrate daughter's degree result. We were made very welcome and enjoyed a delicious meal. So pleased to have found our new favourite Indian restaurant. We'll be back!

The food is simply amazing but don't take my word for it try it for yourself

Amazing food.. and kind staff.. we are yet to visit the resturant but are really looking forward to it... fast delivery.. hot and spicy.. great quality and the best onion bahjis in the borders 😘😘 VC

Had a good indian style chicken biriyani from here. Service was nice. Overall satisfied. Flavours were ok. One suggestion is that can be a little bit of more spicy. And if you would like a good place to hangout and have food in the area it’s one of the good restaurants in hawick.

Not only is the food at Sultans fantastic the staff and delivery team are extremely friendly and would recommend this restaurant for eating in or even take away if you are staying in Hawick. Personal favourite is the korma. Food is always so fresh and very delicious! My new favourite curry house!.

Very good Indian cuisine. Served by the very kind Ali.

Called in for dinner rather than cook tonight. Had a huge pile of poppadoms, two curries, 1 rice and 1 garlic Nan. Small coke and large coke. £46.50 We had quite a long wait as the kitchen was busy but the food was piping hot and delicious. Manager did apologise and offer free drinks. Portion size was ok for us but bigger eaters may need a rice and Nan each. It’s not a fancy place but it’s friendly and the food speaks for itself. If you want complex flavours then I’d definitely recommend trying here. Go for the Khata meeta balti in lamb or chicken it’s amazing!

After a long day travelling and a longer day working, found this little gem on the way back home. Food was superb and friendly staff. Thanks Guys!

Superb food with fantastic service. Would highly recommend. Sultaan and Ali gave some great recommendations. Had a brilliant night

I had worst experience from here in my entire life. The staff is behaved very badly. They behaved me with racial words. They didn’t allowed me to sit in. They were asked me extra money for siting. Very nasty staff

Had a fantastic evening at Sultaans.Food was delicious and very reasonably priced There was so much choice on the menu and Sultaan and Ali were very helpful in giving recommendations. We had a lovely meal with complimentary sambuca / baileys to finish the evening off perfectly. We would highly recommend a visit and will definitely return on our next visit to Hawick.

Best beef madras I've had in 40 years. Lush meal. Highly recommended

Regularly use this restaurant as there is a large varied menu and have enjoyed everything I have tried. Diners should not be put off by the exterior and interior decor which leaves a lot to be desired!

Wonderful food and a friendly welcome.

After a drive of 6 hours visiting family I was ready for a meal. The restaurant was empty but not surprising for a Wednesday night. I asked the waiter for his recommendation and it was delicious. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food/polite staff and great value. Can’t ask for more. Definitely my new favourite takeaway. I have stomach issues and means I cannot eat a lot of spicy food but the korma is definitely one I can handle. Nothing seems too over spiced. Thank you all 18/4 ❤️

Great food well priced and always delivers quickly can't fault

Great service,the food was fab and staff first class

Avoid ill for days and found hairs on food trying to bribe me to take down my face book review

Got a lamb rogan very bland also bombay aloo was tasteless meal ca.e to 17.80 it was nearly 29 pound with delivery

We were visiting Hawick for a couple days and found only this Indian open on a tuesday so we phoned up to book a table for 4. Upon entering initially we weren't sure as the place was small, quiet and tired though the flooring was very nice. I was informed they are doing a small refurbishment and only had fitting the flooring the day before. There was plenty of drinks option though only 2 selections of beers (both indian beers). They have a very extensive menu. We opted for dishes from their signature and showcase dishes as they were unfamiliar. We had ordered 4 stsrters 4 mains 3 rice and 3 naans. All of which were plated beautifully and very enjoyable, each unique and full of different flavours. The Maître d' was very professional and attentive pouring our drinks as well as asking whether we would like a pause between our courses. Overall an excellent experience albeit the tired look, hopefully with their refurbishment their decor will match their standard of food and service. Thank You for a delightful evening.

Thanks for a great curry! Super friendly service and great food delivered. A really good pathia, veg samosa’s, pakora’s bhindi bhaji and tikka masala. Wow! will definitely be back for more - thanks again

I order from here on a regular basis as find its the best Indian food in and around the borders and we've tried a few! Used to just get the same things over and over but have started branching out and trying different things. The sag paneer is beautiful, lots of flavour, I started ordering it as a starter but now I sometimes get it as a main meal even though I'm not a vegetarian as its so good! Tried the mixed samosas for the first time and you can tell they are homemade, very fresh and tasty. Naan breads are always soft, my favourite is the garlic and cheese naan and its always plenty garlic and plenty cheese. If your ever stuck for what ti get then the lamb tikka green goan curry is to die for!! Whilst it looks a bit strange when you see the colour of it the taste is phenomenal! Hint of mint in it 🥰 Customer service is fantastic and nothing is ever too much for the guys that work there right down to the delivery drivers. I can be quite fussy about spiciness but they take the time to recommend things and will adjust dishes according to your tastes if possible. Have sat in on a few occasions and had the same level of food standards as the takeaways and same for service! Can't fault the place.

Food was delicious!! Tasty and spicy.

Terrible. Worst Indian food I have eaten in the UK. Lamb balti firstly wasn't a balti certainly not like any other balti I have had in many other restaurants. Five small pieces of lamb, and the rest of the curry was full of potatoes, cabbage and courgettes, tasted awful. The special naan had no chicken in it as advertised the naan was horrible and wasn't fresh very old. The chicken pakora was also equally bad. The decor was old, cheap, dirty and depressing, Hawick use to have good Indian restaurants sadly they are terrible. Never eat here again vile. Update Further to their reply I have left many reviews for a variety of businesses some brilliant, some good and some bad so it's very clear you have failed to read all my reviews. I give an honest review of my experience and have travelled extensively around the globe. The whole point of a review is to rate your experience and let others know. If you want to serve such bad food and then turn around and say bad reviews can damage small businesses them it's pretty simple do better food. Just because your an independent business doesn't mean your allowed to get away with serving bad food. There is many small businesses who work hard and serve good food those are the ones who deserve customers for the hard work they put in, your restaurant is poor in decor, dirty, and serving bad food, and adding vegetables that aren't common in curries like courgette and cabbage it's not my fault or anyone elses if you choose to serve bad food And add to the fact it's taken you months to reply to this review only shows bad customer service. I would also add that my reviews have had over 121,000+ views, and my pictures over 660,000+ views and I have 42 followers and I certainly have been fair and honest with all my reviews.

Food was cold. A lot of grease on the top of the curry. Prawn puree had an awful aftertaste. Won't use again

Chi jalfzy and chese nan best in this scottish border .service is wonderful

Customer service/satisfaction is what these guys strive for and the food is phenomenal🤤

Lovely meal,very welcoming staff.

It was great, workers there are kind and food was done quick!

Excellent service, amazing food. Seven of us all served together. You have to try it!

Really great food nice and clean inside

Biryani Chicken, and a Malayan lamb curry! gorgeous!!👍

Another amazing take away, food is delicious and so fresh

Stunning food and ultra friendly service. Even got a complimentary drink with the bill! Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

This was our third takeaway absolutely delicious we ask it to be delivered at 645 and its always on time I would say its the best in hawick

The food on this occasion was just above average, I've had takeaway previously which was much better, the only thing that spoilt the dining in experience was that the restaurant was very cold certainly a lack of heating

Would highly recommend sultaans the food is delicious and they always deliver on time it's just great service

3 of us went for a meal on a Saturday night. We were not disappointed. The pickle tray had 4 dips with crunchie poppadoms The onion badgies were delicious to be honest one would have been enough as they were big. The mixed hord'oeuves beautiful flavours first bite to the last. The special murgee masala was flavoursome with tender chicken. The Lamb Shashlyke was amazing huge amount on sizzling platter. Our veggie was very happy with her vegetable jalfrezie another huge portion This meal was excellent with good friendly service Few Cobra beers and a bottle of Prosseco to wash it down. The Chef came out to see how we enjoyed our meal. He very kindly bought us a drink. I would Thouroughly recommend this restraunt We will be back We returned for the Thursday night special meal this was equally as good great food for £14 for 5 courses Great to see they had Kingfisher Lager. Keep up the good work

Food here is superb, probably one of the best curry houses I have been too. Flavour was superb and the portion size was good. Only downfall is that the restaurant looks very bland and the plastic seats are very hard and uncomfortable.

Best food, very good staff, and a very reasonable price. I am a fan of indian food and this one is my favourite. Thanks 😊

We booked into the Sultaans for a sit in meal. Staff are very friendly and the menu selection is very good. A good beer and wine selection too. Service was good and the food excellent...the evening was rounded off with a complimentary Bailey's, will certainly visit again when next in the area.
