"the employees of venue5 have no service. from here ordered to the mothers day, not only the food was cold, the whole meal did not arrive. I called the restaurant that then went on to tell me that they couldn't deliver my food as they were busy and that I should call back the next day to sort the thing. ruining maternal meal, with not enough food and more money to spend at other place for eating. the foods were overpriced for the product obtained. it was over a week and nothing was done because nobody obviously had the autority to refund my money back. they told me that I was contacted by the man about this matter. who always seems to be busy and not want...read more"

"First time at Tapasya so.... Booked for a Monday evening and as expected, and like most restaurants, will always be quiet, however, three tables covered so some 'atmosphere ', the staff were very attentive and friendly, and the food really was delicious. Unlike most Indian restaurants the menu is quite small, so they can make sure each dish is very good and freshly prepared. The web image is for 'Indian fine dining '. Yes, it certainly seems to be! I haven 't tasted Indian food as good as this for a very long time, nor had napkins placed on my lap in any Indian restaurant! The waitresses just glide up to your table and replenish your drinks without you realising they have been there. Will definitely return in the near future, good stuff."

"Great menu! Very refreshing and different to the usual North Indian cuisine majority of the British Indian restaurants offer. Definitely try their Indian Chinese starters like chilli chicken, salt pepper prawns, veg manchurian and their cocktails! Natak’s menu beats Dishoom for us ; They have a new and excited team of waiters waitresses who take your eating plates away in a rush so a bit of service awareness missing but otherwise they’re all friendly prompt. Cannot wait to return to try their diverse brunch menu which has dosas etc."

"Not the best experience. No parking to start with. Inconsiderate drivers. Service was overly keen. Kept interrupting our conversation various times asking is everything okay constantly throughout the experience. Manager offered as we walked in some water and poppadoms in a complimentary way. Later to find out he charged us a ridiculous price. Food was very overpriced for the quality. The variety was very limit and the staff didn’t now about the menu when asked questions. The manager was sneaky and added service charge also without asking us or telling. Place is small. Go owl and pussycat if you want good Indian food at a fraction of the price. I wouldn’t recommend unless you into a show room restaurant rather the quality and service. Thumbs down for me over hyped."

"I have to start by saying how the staff are always smiling. They 're friendly and have some great recommendations. Moving onto the food, we ordered the chaat platter, chilli paneer and prawns from the tandoor clay oven. I was disappointed by the paani Puri it lacked the tang and explosion of taste you expect, instead it had a very bland and lacked flavour. However the rest of the items on the platter were absolutely fabulous!! Fresh, crunchy, tangy, tasty, flavourful. Everything you expect from a chaat platter. I could have ordered another 2 (without the paani Puri) The chilli paneer was one of the best I 've had! The tandoor clay oven prawns were perfectly cooked and had the right amount of 'tandoor ' taste however the marinate flavour was lacking. Mains veg Kolhapuri.... Oh my gosh!!!! No words can describe how amazing this was and how is it was possible to make veg taste like it did!!! It was absolutely divine!!! We ate it with garlic naan, that too was fab.. it was rolled to the right thinness and had the absolute perfect amount of garlic and butter!! An absolute treat. I should mention as we ate others sat around us on other tables just couldn 't stop complementing the foods they had ordered! So I 'm definitely going back to taste the other items! Desserts gulab jamun and pistachio kulfi ... At first glance the gulab jaman looked lost in the bowl it was presented in, the syrup was way too thin and the 2 balls were too small. However, the taste.... I don 't think I 've had better. Some improvement required in the presentation and with the syrup .. but the taste 5 5 .. amazing! The pistachio kulfi I expect frozen... But ... We couldn 't dig in... Waited almost 25 30mins for it to soften ... Once it did once again the taste was everything you expect... Another 5 5. However does require some thinking to ensure the customer doesn 't leave with a brain freeze instead of the flavoursome taste. We enjoyed multiple drinks including mango lassi, lemonade and mint tea all of which were fab.. even the mango lassi was the perfect consistency however it comes with ice which when melted affects the taste of the lassi (server should ask if the customer would like or not I wasn 't given an option) I 'm going back!! And I definitely recommend!!"

"I used to go to this restaurant all the time 15 years ago and convinced many friends to make the trip out here. After ages I thought I would try this place again in August as I was in the area shopping for Asian wedding accessories. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I went into the bathroom to wash my hands prior to eating and ordering and I was just disgusted by the smell. It was like a toilet in India that rarely (if ever gets cleaned . I was so disgusted by the smell just in the sink area I didn't even want to think about how clean the actual toilets were or the kitchen. I also don't know if the staff used the same toilets but if they do I have major concerns about the hygiene levels in this place. I walked out before ordering anything (thank God! . I will never return here again."

"The restaurant was terrible from start to finish. The food was flavourless, presentation poor and was way too over priced. Parts of my Halibut were burnt and other parts undercooked. The naan was undercooked also. Was expecting to take my partner to a great Indian and ended up with a poor meal and we were both still hungry after. There’s nothing traditional about any of the dishes we ate. Felt cheated. Didn’t even bother looking at dessert"

"Since the restaurant was open, I come to the Indian Palace. On every occasion I was pleasantly surprised with the fresh homemade quality of genuine South Indian cuisine. I always start with poppadoms and dips (most of them are made at home, and absolutely tasty), as I for kerala paratha (as appetizer, I discovered this type of bread for the first time in this restaurant), as main, moly with the shrimp (the best all, mild, made with coconut milk) combined with the pashwari naan and simple rice, presenting the perfect meal! Sometimes I'm over for lunch, there's a buffet only for 8.99 on working days. There are always (under other dishes) lamb and chicken curry, the lamb curry is spice, but perfect taste! On the other day, the restaurant was not so busy during lunchtime, and the waiter (all staff are always really pleasant and welcoming), Siv led me to the cook, really humble, still amazing talent! Prices are more than reasonable, so if you want Indian food check out this place!"

"Pure Indian Cooking delivers a contemporary, modern and innovative take on Indian cooking and cuisine. A welcoming environment in which to tantalise your taste buds with an eye catching menu offering a broad variety of dishes at a medium spice level designed to appeal to all tastes. Spacious yet ambient in its restaurant offering; the first thing you notice is the use of colours and textures in their decor. Coupled with the delectable aromas and friendly staff you settle in easily. The use of different textures is also apparent in the dishes that are prepared in the kitchen. We started with the papad, crudités and chutneys before moving on to a trio of starters including the crispy chilli fried squid, pounded coriander and goat's cheese samosa served with a trio of tomato, mint and beetroot chutneys and patra chaat. The patra chaat is a revelation; a crispy, multi textured salad of colocasia leaves with yoghurt, date and tamarind chutney, pomegranate, onion and tomato. It is a real dazzle to the senses and should be ordered just to try something special. The chilli squid is delicious and the generous portion size is appreciated as they are so moreish. The samosas are a mouthwatering feat; crispy pastry and delicious filing served with chutneys that elevate and bind together these flavours. Moving on to the main course we knew a treat lay ahead; the main courses offered included game meats such as duck and venison. Additionally, there are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and seafood prawns, crab, halibut and cod dishes. We indulged (there is no other way to describe it! in halibut cafreal, halibut cooked in green masala served with fried potato managalorean chicken, succulent pieces of chicken cooked with coconut and byadgi chillies and lamb sukke maharastrian style lamb cooked in dry spices which is one of Pure's more spicy dishes. Accompanied by lasooni palak creamy spinach with brown garlic and dry fenugreek leaves, steamed rice and the lightest buttery naan. The mangalorean chicken is simply delicious with the softest, juiciest chicken smothered in a perfectly balanced creamy yet rich coconut sauce. The lamb is rich and flavoursome with just the right amount of heat to be a complement to the chicken. The Lasooni palak proved to be some of the creamiest spinach I have ever tried and is definitely worth an order! Pure Indian Cooking is a fresh take on Indian food that is enticing, interesting and a breath of fresh air. This restaurant, a mere stone's throw away from Parsons Green's station offers you a restaurant and a take away option that is a welcome treat for every day of the week."

"I visited with my wife and 15 year old son on Saturday. We were welcomed by Dev, who was very charming. He helped my wife choose a very nice Korma. We decided to go with the pre-theatre menu, very substantial and also included drinks. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would recommend this lovely restaurant if in this part of town."

"Wonderful meal at The Tigers Pad. This is a favourite local restaurant of mine and my family and I suggested it as a venue for a Christmas get-together to a group of friends some of whom hadn't eaten here before. Excellent authentic Indian food, wonderful service and a real buzz about the place. This is a family run restaurant and they look after their guests beautifully. My friends all loved it and vowed to return. Thank you for a great evening."

"We had to change our reservation from pretheatre to after theatre, which was accomodated without any issues. We did not realise just how long we had spent dining but were not rushed at all by the staff either who stayed after closing time. Our gluten free vegetarian dietary requirements were catered for not only from the menu but also on recommendation from the chef preparing a special dish of stuffed pepper. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will return if ever in the Colchester area again. They are also part of the Meerkat system which is the only reason that we found this restaurant and only goes to show that you can choose to go somewhere in a different town based on that network of choices as well. Excellent"
