9.5/10I was pleasantly surprised that the food and service were excellent at the Colonial. We had the samosas, butter chicken and naan. The naan was particularly tasty. All staff were attentive and friendly. It wasn't too busy so service was quick as well

10/10We often enjoy an Indian meal and tonight we had one of the best: a vegetarian platter for entree then Railway Goat Curry and Lamb Saagwala (both with medium heat) with cheese & olive naans and steamed rice. Plus a palate cleansing apple cider. The flavors were exquisite with the perfect blend and amount of spice. We're regulars here but tonight was one of the best. Highly recommended. But make sure you ask for medium heat (or hotter if you're adventurous) to get an authentic experience. You'll feel like you're in Mumbai.

7.5/10Food was delicious as always but service was poor - staff were more focused on Uber Eats orders than restaurant guests. There were only 3 tables - so little atmosphere in the restaurant

7.5/10The vegetarian platter entree was so delicious, sadly the paneer was over cooked and rubbery. Really loved the tamarind sauce. I ordered a spicy beef Colonial Balti. Too much pepper and not enough chilli. It ruined the flavour. Also the beef was tough so obviously hadn’t been cooked long enough. Drinks were great value. Wonderful Chardonnay and The mango lassi was very good.

5.5/10Staff were very pleasant but the food quality is not as expected. I would not return nor recommend this restaurant purely based on below average food quality.

7/10Good food ,Easy parking and great prices with the discount on fork. They did cater to my gf needs for less spicy and did a good job. I felt the Paneer tikka masala was a bit oily. Shame they dont have Shahi Paneer.

10/10I tried the goat biryani for the first time. The spices were so fresh and gave the dish a real lift. It was a lovely dish and a generous serving.

British-Indian Brilliance
The Colonial offers a new kind of dining experience, introducing diners to the flavours of a long forgotten cuisine in India's North-West Frontier Province. Colonial's interior is ultra-chic - a far cry from your usual Indian take-away and the menu too offers a delicious departure from the ordinary. The cuisine uses a simplistic style of preparation, where chunks of meat, seafood and veg are marinated and cooked in a Clay Tandoor at a high temp. This means they remain succulent and deliciously tender. The rusticness of this fare and the focus of preserving flavour is the highlight of this cuisine. The Colonial revives the age old cuisine and cooking style to bring you an experience which is a feast for the stomach and the soul.
Best Dish: railway goat curry
