About Sultano cafe

Sultano Cafe turns out authentic, slow-simmered Moroccan classics along Railway Parade in Lakemba. Diners gather for clay-pot tagines piled with fork-tender lamb, dried fruit, and bubbling juices scooped up with warm bread. Crisp, sweet-savoury bastilla leads naturally into communal pots of couscous and spiced rfissa. Past the front counter, a traditional Berber-style tent sits tucked in the back for relaxed group feasts. Plates wind down with fresh mint tea and housemade tiramisu straight from the cafe display.

  • Traditional Clay-Pot Tagines: Simmered in clay cookware with tender cuts of lamb, beef, or kafta alongside dried fruit, vegetables, and warm bread.
  • Back Tent Seating: A dedicated back dining space styled with draped textiles for communal, slow-paced group feasts.
  • Moroccan & Cafe Hybrid: Pair slow-cooked Moroccan stews with daytime espresso, fresh juices, and slices of housemade tiramisu.

  • Bastilla

    I ordered the Bastilla, which was a beautiful chicken-filled pastry which was more like baklava than a traditional chicken pie.

    As a Moroccan, couscous is something I’m picky about, but Sultano’s couscous was really good.
