10/10My more than 15 visits to Colonel Saab and the food quality and taste is still consitently excellent and service impeccable. Brought a friend for a business lunch and he thoroughly enjoyed the Dosa and the Chettinad chicken curry as weel as the Boryani Rice. Will come by again when I next return from Malaysia. Francis

5.5/10Beautiful decor. We ordered the food and it took one hour to get it served at the table. Portions are a bit small for the starters. Good quality and taste however expensive for the portion and super slow service despite having half of the tables occupied. Need to improve speed of service and portions for value for money.

6/10I feel it could have been better They need more waiter there was only 1 for one section and you need to wait long for everything I went for bday dinner for partner we were waiting at table for 40/45 mins for food menu because of one waiter It was really very slow service then I have told them my baby will not sit for such a long time can you make it faster then yes they did it Generally you go to restaurant it takes only max 1hr 30 mins here we spend 2 hrs that too I told them we need to leave We have ordered chicken Briyani rice was completely burnt I have showed them for that they have not charged us.. Every year we go for Michelin star or very good restaurant for bday / anniversary dinners and we had so many expectations but this could have been more better ….

10/10Incredible experience. Food and service were both top notch. The restaurant is a bit to the louder side, but very much to be expected for a popular Indian restaurant. Very happy with the dining experience and would definitely revisit.

10/10The food was excellent. The service was very good. We were disappointed that the restaurant could not cater to the dietary requirements of one of our guests in-spite of telling them one week in advance.

3.5/10Unknowledgeable staff, when it came to both drinks and food. Lamb dish far too salty, cheese and truffle kulcha there was no truffle taste and when asked was told that’s because it’s a truffle oil! Not a fine dining establishment and wouldn’t return.

10/10This is one of the best meals we have had using the fork. 50% off was such good value. The food was absolutely amazing. Gluten free really well catered for. I could have so much on the menu. Even desert. Brilliant! Service was impeccable. Can't wait to return.

8/10The restaurant is well located, the environment is clean, beautiful and pleasant, and the service is very friendly and attentive. Food is good but too spicy. As I have no affinity for Indian cuisine, maybe I'm not the best person to opine about the food. But I recommend the experience.

9.5/10Came straight to Colonel Saab for lunch with my family the very next day we came back from Malaysia. Food quality and taste excellent as before and prompt and efficient service especially from Sree who took our orders and attended to our very need throughout the meal. Kudos to the chef and the staff! Will definitely be back again. The 50% discount from The Fork app booking only made the meal sweeter. Keep giving 50% discount yeah.

10/10Absolutely loved our lunch at Colonel Saab. The food was delicious - all the dishes were fantastic but the Purani Dilli and the South Indian fish curry were phenomonal. And the staff were exceptional. It was my partners birthday and they even brought out a lovely ice cream dish as a gift for him at the end of the meal!
