★★☆☆☆ I recommend the starter plate. The chicken was bland. An average place. Posted on April 12, 2014

★☆☆☆☆ I visited El Sultan with a group of friends on 3rd Apr 2010, all 5 of collectively agreed that the food was terribly awful and i felt compelled to write this review: I and my friends fell ill the very next day having stomach pains and diarrhea from the food we ate; the quality of food was shockingly disgraceful, portions were extremely small, bland and certainly overpriced; service was sub-standard we had to return the food back to the kitchen. Definitely avoid Posted on April 5, 2010

★☆☆☆☆ My mom and I decided to do a little european trip, so once in Spain we went to Cordoba for 2 days. On our second day, we found the Marrocan restaurant "El Sultan" on Calle Martinez Rucker, #4. We return on lunch time, and to our surprise it was empty, but we decided to give it a go anyway. After our meal, I asked the owner(?), who didn't seem to speak any Spanish or English and was sweating heavily, if he could recommend us a tea from the extensive selection, I had a marrocan tea and my mom had a "Las mil y una noches" that he recommended. My mom sipped slowly her tea and I could barely drink mine because it was so hot. I tried some of my mom's tea, it was delicious. After a few minutes I noticed my mom was acting a bit strange, later my mom suddenly told me she was feeling very dizzy and weird, she hadn't finish her sentence when I had a sudden feel like if I was totally pissed! So I told her I was feeling odd too, we quickly ran to the door to leave, and on the way I shouted to the man, that we were leaving and needed the bill. By now we were outside and my mom could barely stand up, she was very scared and started to walk/run to the nearest place with people which was just a few feet away, I followed her. Then this man came running towards us, sweating (although it wasn't really hot weather), I told him I will pay him the bill, but confronted him a few times that he must have had put something in the tea, as we were feeling pretty dizzy. He didn't say a word, but was pretty nervous and only extended his hand, my mom was feeling worst so I gave him the money and left. Thankfully our hotel was nearby, we went there as I wanted to report this straight away, and my mom was feeling a bit better. But then, my mom passed out in reception. To make it short, we ended up in ER as my mom couldn't feel anything, couldn't react and couldn't speak, but was conscious! Had up to 190 on palpitations. Once she was stable, and the doctor saw her, he denied to do a toxicology test, and claimed he would only make sure she was stable. We did reported this but in Madrid, the officer agreed the doc should've done the test. I'm writing this, as in Cordoba must of the people kept saying, "that doesn't happen here", "this is not Mexico" and "teas are stimulants you know". Well it did happen! and I doubt any legal tea can be so stimulant. So just thought I should put it out there, so people could be aware of this restaurant. Posted on November 8, 2009

★★★★☆ We went looking for Zahira - another restaurant mentioned on Zabihah, but Zahira had its shutter half way down - it was about 10:30 PM, so we looked for another place and found this. The place is located very close to the Mezquita. Because there are very few choices in Cordoba, this place will by that standard sound very good, but in reality is fairly poor and expensive. But the proximity to the Mezquita and the only Halal place nearby makes it above average. We had a number of dishes there - the Shawarma was about 7 euros and good. The falafel was OK at about 5 euros. The Couscus with beef was very bland and not much meat at it was expensive at 12 euros. The interior of the place was like a ghetto - with lots of graffiti, etc. - it was meant to be that design I think. Overall a decent place because of location and choices, but very poor otherwise.
