Feedback
The Colonial in Sydney serves up a tapestry of dining experiences, where vibrant flavors and attentive service are often contrasted by inconsistent food quality and ambiance. While some diners rave about the impeccable service and delicious dishes, like the vegan paneer butter masala and the beef vindaloo, others express concern over hygiene standards and food presentation. Reports of off-tasting ingredients and insufficient attention to detail in the kitchen have also surfaced. Overall, The Colonial can be a delightful culinary adventure for some, but demands improvements to consistently satisfy its diverse clientele.
We placed our food order, waited an hour for it to be prepared, only to have the order canceled without any explanation. We were extremely disappointed and left hungry.
These youngsters have captured our hearts. The Indian food was excellent and the service was great. Lana, the restaurant host, went above and beyond to make us feel special. The chefs were fantastic! Overall, one of the best dining experiences in Sydney. They truly made our day special! Can't wait to visit the restaurant again!
Let's be clear about one thing. This is definitely not an English style curry, despite how it is branded. While the food is decent, it is not exceptional, especially considering the price. Overall, it was a satisfactory meal, but we would not likely return as there are plenty of other curry restaurants that offer the same food at lower prices. The markup of up to 50% is quite ridiculous, to be honest.
Clearly marked vegan options on the menu and it's so good to have a number of options to choose from. Freshly cooked, tasty curry. Good service, couldn't fault it.
