Noord · Middle Eastern

Sultan Restaurant & Cafe serves Middle Eastern food in Noord, Aruba, and has been open since 1989. Large family platters are the draw, with shish taouk, kafta, falafel and hummus on the menu. The Table Desk can reserve a table here for a family dinner or a relaxed meal with friends.

Sultan has served Noord since 1989, and the atmosphere is that of a relaxed lounge where nobody rushes the meal. The menu covers the Middle Eastern standards, from shish taouk and kafta to falafel and hummus.

Sharing is the point here. Large family platters bring grilled meat kebabs to the table, and Arabian plates come with hummus and tabbouleh. Shawarma wraps with garlic sauce, a shawarma kapsalon over fries and spiced Arabian rice with meats round out the choices.

The Table Desk is an independent reservation service, not Sultan itself. You pay a flat $20 service fee online when you book, with no processing fee on top. Your meal is paid at the restaurant. The table is set once we confirm it in writing by email.
