A Truly Unforgettable Dining Experience! We recently hosted our team’s Christmas party at Colaba and I can confidently say it was an experience that exceeded all expectations! From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. The ambiance is truly stunning—elegant yet inviting, with tasteful decor that balances tradition and modern flair. The service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our group felt special. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful suggestions that perfectly complemented each course. You can tell they genuinely care about making each guest’s experience exceptional. Now, the food—absolutely outstanding! Every dish we tried was a masterpiece, showcasing the vibrant, complex flavors of Indian cuisine with a modern twist. From the rich, aromatic curries to the perfectly spiced tandoori meats, each bite was a delightful revelation. The presentation was equally impressive; every dish looked as beautiful as it tasted. The highlight of the evening had to be the signature Tandoori Salmon which left everyone at the table raving! For dessert, we enjoyed a selection of traditional pistachio kulfi and gulab jamun , and they were the perfect end to a memorable meal. The balance of flavors and textures was spot-on, and each dessert felt like a little piece of heaven. As a team, we felt incredibly well taken care of throughout the evening. The restaurant’s attention to detail, from personalized menu options to accommodating dietary preferences, made the event even more special. It was the ideal setting for celebrating the holiday season and enjoying a night of laughter and camaraderie. I cannot recommend Colaba highly enough. Whether you're planning a special occasion or simply craving exceptional Indian cuisine, this restaurant will undoubtedly deliver an experience that’s nothing short of extraordinary. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Five stars without hesitation!

Lovely food , very nice setting and delicious flavours, we loved the potato chaat and spicy chicken curry taliwala . However the highlight was the excellent service by our waitress Dhruvi . She went above and beyond her duties to make us feel welcome

I ordered takeout at Colaba via Deliveroo and I was impressed with the food. The flavours were amazing and I must say this is one of the best Indian I’ve tried in a bit. I also appreciated the selection for vegans and the portions were very good too! Excellent value for money. I’ll definitely order again and visit in person too!

The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was fantastic too. Even on a weekday the atmosphere was amazing. We had the bhel puri for starters, seekh kebab, tandoori rotis and tariwala chicken curry. I cannot recommend the bhel and seekh kebab enough!

Full 5 Star Review! I came here with 2 other people, we got straight on the cocktails which were clear quality. Then Dhruvi pointed out some must have dishes which my companions ordered along with me ordering Prawn Coconut Curry. The Food was outstanding, yogurt was fresh, spice on point, prawns and chicken cooked perfectly. What more could I possibly ask for.
