"As it was my birthday me and a friend thought it would be a nice treat to get a takeaway after work. We placed our order over the phone and requested to collect it so that we could receive the 10% off the bill which I saw advertised online. We also asked out of interest if they would offer anything complimentary as it was my birthday. The person on the phone asked what I liked to drink to which I replied Prosecco, he then began to laugh which made me think that that was too much to ask for and he would've expected me to just ask for a beer or glass of wine. It wasn't until we were about to leave the restaurant after paying and collecting our order that the man lifts up a bottle of champagne and gives it to us for free! This was a wonderful surprise that went beyond expectations and made us leave with smiles on our faces. The food was very tasty and filling also and overall it was a great end to my birthday. We will most definitely be back!"

"alishan tandoori is one of the best Indian takeaway in the colchester range. everything I order from an Indian restaurant or takeaway is pilau rice and lamb madras and alishan makes the best in colchester. I've never been disappointed by them. their take-away service is fast and reliable. I recommend alishan tandoori in colchester."

"I was impressed with the speed with which the courts arrived, although my friends began to order a few minutes before the table and the tables were in the regular large enough to arrange a series of dressed up without taking over! the Chinese New Year's menu had some great dishes, for example mushroom the moss saw how hairball from a drain plug '' but standout was the hainanese? chicken with rice garlic dip! I decided to have pu 'reh tee, because it seems better suited than a glass wein etc. very pleasant decoration that gives character but does not distract from the food."

"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"

"I visited this restaurant regularly until Christmas 2021. this was my first visit this year and the property has changed again! in the front part of the restaurant were three lights turned on, the light was bad, the heating was...ab and there was no music at all. the waiter' had difficultities in the first part of my order for 2 plain and 2 spicy poppadome and a bottle cobra, after several repeated accusations he finally got it right, except to try to give me 2 bottles cobra at the same time. I decided to skip the starter and chicken jalfrezi mushroom rice and okra ordered. the food came, but the waiter treated the plate with bare hands and not covered with a served cloth, while he got the food I used my bag sanitiser to wipe the plate where he put his thumb. the chicken was tasteless and was possibly boiled, in which the whole meal was tasteless. I paid the bill and went around 9.45 clock within about 1 minute of my leave the restaurant closed and the roller shutters were closed. this was a Saturday night and it seemed that I had been their only eating in the customer. I don't think they'll survive much longer. a great scandal that a beautiful restaurant with a hygiene rating of 5 seems to be on the way last year."

"I’ve never been so disappointed at a restaurant, and I won’t be returning. We were one of only three tables on a Saturday night, and it was easy to see why. The idea of all-you-can-eat for a set price sounded appealing, but the execution was lacking. We ordered six starters, and the ribs were tough while the spring rolls were underwhelming. When the main course arrived, one of my friends struggled to eat his dish. My chicken with spring onions and ginger was overwhelming, leaving me sweating all night and worried about feeling ill. If I had paid for this meal, I would have expressed my dissatisfaction directly to the owners, but our friends who handled the bill were just too nice."

"The chicken Biriyani meals used to be of high quality but now too much salt has overpowered this particular meal which ruined the taste considering how much they are each one is now £12.95 and have gone up in price I would of expected better. spent over £30 and couldn't eat them because the salt taste made the meal impossible to eat. Poppadom's were 60p last year now have gone up to 95p in price I presume this is why there is a 20% off deliveries when you spend over £20. Very disappointed"

"The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious and the staff are very attentive. However, the decor is lacking in coziness and inspiration. The atmosphere feels a bit sterile, like a dull dentist's waiting room. During my visit in the middle of winter, I felt a constant draft from either the air conditioning or the door. Be sure to choose your table and seating carefully to ensure a pleasant dining experience."

"I had a great experience trying the American-inspired dishes at this restaurant. The diner chicken burger, fries, cheeseburger, and salad with a unique dressing that resembles a mix of ranch and are all delicious choices."

"The speed of service was fantastic, food arrived quickly to table. Was a tiny bit disappointed with my soup and thought it lacked a bit of flavour but it’s hit and miss with chicken noodle anywhere you go. The sechaun chicken delicious and and the...chicken curry too. Good sized portions. If it was more socially acceptable I would have licked the plate clean! Next time I’m in the city centre I’ll definitely be back."

"If you really knew what happens in this place you wouldn't wish to eat there. If your a veggie watch out the kitchen use boiled chicken water even in egg fried rice or veggie curry. The rice that get served if not used goes back into the streamer to be re served to another customer. It's as fresh as coming out freezers and packets look as you go to the small smelling toilets there a freezer on right just open it up The list goes on including there back area where staff toilet is has meat left out in open. Fridge is not stacked to how government hygiene says it should be. The owner not owners if you look it up does not care and finds it funny if someone wishes to make a comment. Service is slow and just about par but not for price you pay. Hot pot is hot s**t all from packets and been defrosted more then a couple of times for some parts of it. Yes hygiene inspector is being called and photo's will be on way."

"I've moved around several eastern cuisine restaurants in the area but overall zeera has them beat!!The food is first class in both Eastern and English dishes..all made to order both on and off menu!!The staff are most polite and are willing to vary the menu to your preference.. As a bonus you can take in your own drinks of both types although they stock a variety of soft drinks..Car parking is easy as they have use of a huge car park free of charge including disabled spaces!!"
