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.

A little worrying when you walk in for your 8pm booking on a Thursday night and you're the only people in the restaurant but we continued on and were

The Colonial certainly has the potential to serve top class Indian fare.

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!
