Kolam — Restaurant in Newtown

The manager at the front desk was rude and the service was no better. Quality of food definitely compares to the service that was received. Do not waste your time and money. I would suggest India Raj Restaurant in Monroe.

Funny you mentioned, irate impatient. I've ate at your restaurant with the Sunday buffet and regular dinner. I have credit card statements to prove it !!! As friends of mine wanted to try Indian food in the New Town area but suggested Raj restaurant since it was up the road in Monroe on rt 25. I just went with the flow, now they all agreed it was disgusting and the food was absolutely not fresh! Because I live in the area. Sometimes restaurants could be a hit and miss with the food and your place was always a miss ! But from what I hear the person who owned it before you did make better food. Reading the other reviews it clearly just not me. As a customer you had an attitude. Also as a driver coming to your facility to deliver your food for your customers absolutely rude. Since the food was not ready you threw me out the restaurant "wait outside" what you said. I then asked would you give me the food outside as curbside assistance since it's the pandemic , "Covid-19" . You told me to come back every 10 minutes to check to see if the food was ready. How is that fair for your customers who are ordering food and now it sitting there getting cold ? Is it fair for them to wait longer ? So now concerning me you obviously just didn't want me in there. There was only three cars in the parking lot and two tables in the whole restaurant that were being used. Because I was in my sweatpants you think your restaurant is that fancy ? You think the smell in your restaurant is desirable that I really want to stay there longer than I had too ? You lost me as the customer long time ago and for sure I will never accept any orders to help your establishment out !!! By the way you're no threat to me !!!

You are welcome for me taking the time out to review you once again. Since you're so kind, I just wanted to add you should take the time for proper hygiene while dealing with customers. Yes, we can smell when you do not use...

Kolam Restaurant in Newtown NOW has a New Chef/Owner as of May 2022, from the Northern Region of India (Punjab)

Previous Owners were from Kerela, India. Which is the Southern Coastal Region of India.

This is the core information, I’m sharing with all the Potential Patrons, since most of the Indian Restaurants in Ct are not even owned or run by Indians anymore.

I was Born in the Northern Region of India, where the most Popular Indian Food comes from. I’m extremely fussy & passionate about food, Thanks to my Italian Bosses……..

Let’s get to the point, Food at Kolam reminded me of my Grandmother and my Mom’s, Cooking when I was Young/Teenager, growing up in Punjab.

Also, Our Family used to go and watch the Rural Games @ Kila Raipur in Punjab, India, where a lot of Rural Food Vendors sold Scrumptious Indian Street food to the Crowd and that’s what Kolam reminds me off.

So if you really want to enjoy an old world classic meal from Northern region of India, this is the place. I’m sure they’ll Change their Name in future to A Classic Punjabi Eatery.

Pictures below are of Punjabi Kadhi Pakora, Chana Bhatura and Chicken Curry. It can’t be more Authentic than this, Period.

It’s Nostalgic for me.

Chef Malkit Singh has Magic in his Hands, it’s a God’s Gift, Enjoy it while it Lasts……. Life’s too Short...

I've lived in Danbury for 9 years and never knew about this restaurant until the other day. A very, quaint and unassuming little nook in the middle of nowhere. Had the buffet on a Sunday. I've eaten in many, many Indian restaurants back in NYC and queens..this place was better than I've ever tried. While the spread was small, it had enough for everyone..vegetarian and meat-eater alike. This place is top-notch. The buffett was $13.95...a very, very fair price. They also brought a huge basket of naan, a piece of tandoori chicken and a dosa to the table.. The sambar was the bomb and the chicken tikka masala was like butter. The service was immpecable. Highly recommended for seasoned Indian food enthusiasts and newcomers..well done..keep up the good work..this place is a...
