The General and I biked all the way down to Coney Island Avenue and Newkirk one night with the intention of eating at Bahar, this Aghan restaurant I read about. It was a pretty hot night and the restaurant wasn't air-conditioned, so we nixed the idea of eating there pretty quickly. We wandered a few doors down to the corner of Coney Island Ave and Parkville and saw what appeared to be a spanking new restaurant called Sultan Grill. We gave it a go and it turned out to be a really good find. The restaurant has two menus - a Pakistani menu and a Turkish menu. We ordered the Chicken Tikka, Daal, Roti and Naan off the Pakistani menu. The Pakistani menu offers the basics: curry, tandoori, grilled meats, biryanis, etc.
The portions were perfect, not too big so that we were stuffing ourselves but just the right amount of food for two people. The Chicken Tikka was smokey and juicy, without much excess oil. The Daal was also very good...a little different from daals I've had at other restaurants. The lentils weren't as mushy and the dish wasn't as liquidy as most other ones that I've had. The fresh ginger topping was a little bit too strong but other than that the dish was very light and non-greasy. My favorites might actually have been the breads. The naan and roti appeared to be freshly baked and steam was still coming off the top as the waitress placed it on our table.
The naan was light and fluffy without any charred burnt bits that you often see. A good, simple meal that didn't make me feel the slightest bit sleepy afterwards. The atmosphere isn't great - bright florescent lighting, drab walls and tiled floors, but the food is fresh and satisfying. Thank you Mr. Sultan for making my stomach happy. Now I am going to watch Britney's VMA video for the 11th time and THEN watch her I'm a Slave for U VMA performance and cry tears of longing for the old awesome Britney.
