- By ANDREW BATT news@wokingham.today

ONE of Wokingham’s oldest restaurant­s re-opened this week for the first time in almost two years.

The Sultan in Market Place is welcoming customers again following an extensive £100,000 refurbishm­ent.

Customers will be able to experience an exciting new menu created by new executive chef Kuldeep Singh.

He is an experience­d, awardwinni­ng chef and Indian cookery expert.

His tie-up with the Wokingham restaurant marks his first culinary venture outside central London, where he has gained a huge following.

His previous restaurant­s include Chowki, Three Monkeys, and Mela in Shaftsbury Avenue where he won the prestigiou­s London Evening Standard Indian Restaurant of the Year.

Restaurant owner Raja Majid explained the new menu, created by Chef Kuldeep, will feature exciting new dishes alongside the Sultan’s traditiona­l favourites.

He said: “I’m extremely pleased to welcome Chef Kuldeep to the team, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming customers back to the restaurant.”

Chef Kuldeep explained how customers will be able to experience a wide variety of flavours from across India in the form of small plates and larger offerings.

New dishes on the everevolvi­ng menu will feature ingredient­s including langoustin­e, duck and rabbit.

Memorable experience­s for vegan and vegetarian customers are also at the forefront of the restaurant’s goals.

Customers are urged to book in advance to avoid disappoint­ment, although walkins will be welcomed subject to available space.

The re-opening of the 50-cover upstairs restaurant comes ahead of a planned New Year opening of a new concept for the downstairs space at 7, Market Place.

Its associated takeaway operation, Sultan Express, has been operating throughout the lockdown. It has gained a loyal following of regular customers.
