Enjoy visiting this place for its comfortable decor offering a vibrant dining experience. The food has a unique traditional flavours inspired with a contemporary twistnin their Indian cuisines. Only true critique would have to be the curries portion sizes are the smallest ever across wish there was more in the dish but cannot fault the presentation ever.
Paid 69 pounds for absolutely meagre amount of food. They also forgot to pack another papri chaat.Won't bother again. Could have gone further up the road to Royal Nawabs. Paid less and got more high quality food. Mistake.
I recently visited Colony Restaurant with a group of eight, and overall, the experience was underwhelming. The service was mediocre at best polite but not particularly attentive and the food mirrored that sentiment: just okay. The restaurant itself feels like a glass box placed randomly and dressed up with some flowers and decorations to create an upscale vibe, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark.nnA significant downside was the long wait for our food, which tested our patience,To add to the inconvenience, they do not accept American Express, which was a surprise in this day and age.nnThat said, there was a silver lining: the grilled platter. It was flavorful and stood out as the best dish of the evening. If I ever return, it would probably be for that platter alone. Otherwise, this isn’t a place I’d rush back to.
We have been there a couple of times recently and absolutely loved the food and service. I would like to mention Mr. R. Rajput who served us with a smile and always available for a request. The ambience is really good as well. Our favorites were the mocktails and the starters, especially the prawns.
Colony is a nicely decorated restaurant, so we went as a family, there was 7 of us in total. We did book in advance, the whole restaurant was empty and we were still given a weirdly shaped table, when there were clearly other tables available. Regardless, that wasn’t a big issue, we then only received an iPad to look at the menu for the 7 of us. When we proceeded to ask if we could get more menus, they just went on to say for us to scan the QR code, which didn’t even load all the images on the menu. We had the prawn, chicken lollipops and fish for the starters and they were very good, so we had high expectations for the mains but we were disappointed. Originally we wanted to get the steaks, however we were told that they had run out which was quite unfortunate, this is what we were looking forward to. We got lamb burgers, the bun felt stale, so I had to tear off the top just to make it somewhat satisfactory. The malasa fries were good and piping hot, would recommend those and would recommend the biriyani. We ordered the chicken fries as well, it took a bit of time for it to come out so the cheese solidified, making the chips less crispy and initially becoming a solid block thus not tasting the flavours and not making it enjoyable to eat. we ordered one grill platter for two and one grill platter for one. I would say we was quite disappointed with these, the lamb pieces and lamb chops was dry but the chicken wings that come with the platter was quite nice. All the drinks that we ordered colony spritzer, lychee mojito, apple bamboo, pina colada, coconut kiss, regular mojito were great, and so was the presentation. I liked the fact that dry ice was given for the pictures. The server we had, we could tell that she was new as some lack of experience was shown, but she was very friendly and apologetic if any mistakes were made. I wouldn’t say I would be coming here again as we didn’t have a great experience with the food and the amount of flies that were in the restaurant was very off putting. At one point, we looked up to the ceiling and there were like 15, some even landing on our straws and food.nnIf you are looking to come to colony I would recommend the drinks and the starters.
