Colors World Food — Restaurant in Wageningen

I put off visiting the restaurant several times because of the mixed reviews. After 2 x group dinners + 1 x private dinner, I would say that all the mixed reviews make sense.

The service and atmosphere were indeed very nice. The atmosphere was casual but the restaurant itself is still nice enough for a birthday dinner. Lighting, decoration, etc. and the guests were well taken care of.

For the food, I'd say they lean more on fusion dishes rather than authentic flavors, which was absolutely alright if done well.

In group dinner I enjoyed all the dishes. Either as multiple courses or buffet. All are well seasoned.

For private dinner, appetizers were very tasty and seasoned appropriately (not chilli hot spicy), like the Japanese beef + naan appetizers in the pic. The main dishes on the other hand were very bland, especially after the well seasoned appetizers. We got Thai and Indian curry. The side fries was very oily too. It's like everything is missing a lot of flavour in the second course.

Except for the sides, all appetizers and main dishes we ordered were around 8-10 euros/dish

It actually deterred us from ordering dessert as we did not know what the taste would be like so we only got coffee,...

Me and my dad took the luxoriois suprise menu. This comes with bread, cold dishes, hot dishes and a dessert plate.

We liked the bread and dip, the cold dishes were also very flavorful and delicious. The server didn’t really pay attention to our table so only after 20 minutes of finishing our food the table was cleared, only to wait 10 more for the hot dishes.

We really liked the böreks with feta and spinach. The rest of the hot dishes felt simple and a little bland. We were pretty full after this round already.

The desserts were a bit strange as me and my dad both got complete different things. I got an aperol tiramisu, which I was not a fan of (mind you I’m 17 and don’t like the bitter alcohol taste at all). The red of the dessert was pretty good.

All together, most of the food was fine, the service was really slow, but the restaurant had a nice sunny outside...

Great food and atmosphere, there were some points for improvement: -the pide was on the dry side, -the noodle salad could have used a bit of soy sauce, -the ricotta mouse of the Italian dessert was a bit grainy; based on the description I expected the bignets of this dessert to be filled with ricotta which wasn't the case, -the spicy ginger ginger&tonic could use some muddling of the ginger and juniper berries;

Despite these points of improvement, I had a lovely birthday dinner. I love how you can enjoy foods from all over the world in a single meal. The dishes are well suited for each person choosing their own, but also work well for sharing. I also had the Canadian soup, which I didn't really know what to expect from, but it was surprisingly good! I'd definitely recommend this place to others and will probably come...
