The Colonial British Indian Cuisine Darlinghurst
4.0 / 5 (1916 reviews)

Description

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.

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.

I'm not ordinarily a huge fan of Indian food but we tried the vegan paneer butter masala and vegan bainghan bharta which were both very tasty. The onion bhaji was the highlight though!

If you're looking for an Indian restaurant in Sydney you really can't go past the authentic and delicious flavours this crew has to offer. We eat here all the time and the food is the best Indian we've tried in Sydney. We love supporting local businesses and we have found The Colonial to offer and excellent range of menu options and an easy ordering system online. Highly recommend giving this one a try! 5 stars for service too!!

We enjoyed the whole experience (Groupon voucher)and front-of-house Sabin really looked after us. The curries we selected (British Fish curry and a Lamb Bhuna) were super flavoursome and completely different. The fresh naan breads out of the tandoor oven were great, the entree platter was spicy. Ambience very pleasant. Altogether a great deal and we highly recommend the experience.

Came here with a Groupon voucher. Won’t lie, prices normally were way outside what I would spend usually, so thankful for the voucher. Gotta say, the butter chicken and the garlic naan? Winning combination right there. Can’t go wrong with it. There’s a bit for everyone, so if you’re up for trying something new, go ahead!
