The Britannia & Gurkha Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Colchester

We visited this restaurant as a group of four and had an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between comfort and style. The staff were genuinely welcoming and attentive without being intrusive, which made us feel well looked after throughout the evening.

The menu offered an impressive range of dishes, each thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. Every plate was full of flavour and made with fresh, ingredients. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation was remarkable. Between us we tried a variety of starters, mains, and desserts, and not one of us could find a single fault.

The pacing of the meal was excellent, allowing us to savour each course and enjoy our conversation without feeling rushed.

Asked for a second coke waited ages once reminded the waitress took a half filled glass from under the counter and the man behind the bar topped it up from another glass that had been sitting there. When I asked was it fresh she said yes I told her what I saw she went and got a fresh glass reluctantly. We could not Wait to leave and go to the supermarket and get some snacks. I reluctantly paid without making too much fuss just wanted to get out. Can not understand the...
