Titash Indian Restaurant in Colchester

Ordered online. Delivered in less than a hour. Phone me ten minutes before it was delivered to reception at caravan park. Great food, well cooked, good price. Shour out for delivery driver, she was spot on with timing.

The family and I dined here recently, unfortunately, fell short of expectations. The food was average at best, lacking the rich flavors and authenticity I've come to expect from Indian cuisine (I have experienced a huge variety) . What made the experience even less enjoyable was the extremely slow service. Despite the restaurant being busy, the staff seemed overwhelmed and the personal touch that enhances a dining experience was completely missing. Overall, it was a disappointing visit, especially compared to other Indian restaurants where service and flavor take center stage. I wouldn’t rush back.

Visited here with another couple on regatta Saturday so was expecting it to be busy. Whilst the food did take quite a while to come it was delicious, clearly freshly prepared and not the usual generic curry most places serve up. We had a table in the middle of the restaurant but didn’t find it cramped. We all really enjoyed our meal. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service polite and courteous. Food was exceptional one of the tastiest Indians we have had and very generous portions definitely a 10/10

Vidiloo perfect very spicy but still can taste the curry. Not over done with oil and staff are very friendly.

Food was ok. Main issue as far as I was concerned was that the service was inattentive and the tables were really crammed in. You were so close you could hear all your nearby fellow diners conversations. Also the vibes after we had finished eating seemed a bit strange, like they couldn't wait for us to leave. Wouldn't bother again.

Never been before, and wow . Best Indian meal we've ever eaten...tasty and fresh, loved it, but more expensive than others , but you get what you pay for, super

Great place for a Friday night curry whilst away for the weekend. Was very busy but didn’t have to wait long for our food. Food was very good and lots choice. Staff were very attentive and had great sense of humour. As it’s busy you do need to book. A great find!

The woman worked so hard to make sure we had a good table, and the food was delicious!

Great atmosphere, good food, would highly recommend a visit if in the area

Excellent food as always. Be prepared for a very lengthy wait for food on a Friday or Saturday evening though. Even at 6pm on a Saturday it was packed. As the restaurant caters for a large number of takeaway orders, the bar area is always full of locals having a beer whilst waiting for their takeaway. This slows down massively the service to the diners in the restaurant. We waited nearly an hour and a half for our food to eventually arrive and some of it was only just warm. Several diners who had even ordered before us got up and left. We wanted to order desert but decided it wasn’t worth waiting for an hour for some sorbet. Best to go midweek and out of holiday season to experience the best restaurant and service. This has happened several times now so will definitely steer clear at a weekend as they can’t cope with the demand.

Amazing meal and service 👌 came with friends for my birthday 🎂 lovely evening thank you 😊

Fantastic experience served by Sha. This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to (and I’ve been to a few in the City, South East and across the UK!). Food was scrumptious from start to finish - I ordered the Chicken Shashlik, with sides and peschwari naan. All among the best I’ve had. My dad had an almond and coconut vegetable curry which I tried and was delicious. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the service which was a bit slow (note 7pm on Friday bank holiday). Additionally, I am hard of hearing and the carpets and cosy atmosphere really helped with the acoustics - it wasn’t too noisy, Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and return! Many Thanks to the team.

Had a takeaway this time but have eaten here before. Very friendly service. Food is amazing. U get so much. Completely stuffed every time

Came here for sisters 40th Very nice food I'd have given it top 5 stars had it not been for the cokes being poured from a bottle and charged over £5.50 for 2 glasses. Don't mind if it's from a pump but felt like that was taking the mick a bit.

This is the third time I've been to the Titash. And I'm sorry to say that each time I've hoped it had improved, but alas I find the food lacking (my vegetable rice was very small and floating in oil) The decor tired (the inside wall needs replastering and painting). And very over priced for what you are served.

So many new/different dishes, wow

Traditional Christmas eve curry which as ever was very good and the staff are excellent.

Great authentic Indian food, absolutely the best for miles around. Fantastic choice and great service.

Best indian ive ever had will only ever use then. Staff are amazing especially the owner.

Absolutely fantastic food and amazing service. Thank you.

To start off it's a BANGLADESHI restaurant and comes no where close to an Indian restaurant, only the name is Indian. Asked the waiting staff about the restaurant they said they are from Bangladesh, the owner too and the food as well. They said the name was only to lure in the white folks. I would call that fraud in a way. Would not be going back anyways and would not recommend if someones looking for Indian food. Maybe if they wanna try Bangladeshi cuisine.

we ordered a takeaway online, what a great experience, so easy to do then titash rang to say on their way, driver really pleasant and friendly, turned up on time, the food was amazing, must say one of the best Indian meals we have had, highly recommend and will be getting another very soon

Really good Indian takeaway food from some really good people. Been going here for a number of years and couldn't fault them or their food.

A strange and disappointing experience. Our meal itself was average (not brilliant, but ok). However, the odd thing was that we ordered a Bombay paneer side dish. When it arrived it was obviously not paneer, but some other cheese such as mozzarella as it had melted and was stringy! Not paneer, and not the right texture for an Indian meal. We said to the waiter that it wasn't paneer, and he said that customers preferred the mozzarella type cheese. This seemed unlikely! This waiter was perfectly pleasant. At the end of the meal, another waiter came to ask if everything was ok. We said yes, apart from the paneer dish. Things then got quite surreal, as he then started to argue, quite aggressively, that paneer just means cheese and that any cheese can be used. We disagreed, and said we weren't going to pay for something that had been misrepresented on the menu. He continued to argue, and refused to let it go even when I asked him to please end the conversation as I was getting uncomfortable with the fact that he kept arguing. It was only when I told him he was upsetting me that he desisted. The dish was removed from our bill, and he did come back and apologise, but the experience ruined our evening.

Delicious dishes and great suggestions of what to try. Really enjoyed it and will be back when we come around that way again.

Amazing staff and a wonderful building paired with great food result in a lovely experience

Collected a takeaway, pretty impressed with the food, fair price for the quality. Would go again.

Food is authentic and tasty. The staff are amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. Following a mix up with our booking they accommodated us without fuss. Loved their humour too!

Ok Indian, that's as far as I would go

I had dinner there with one friend on 1st August 2023. The food was reasonable but the garlic naan was so thin (and slightly overcooked) that it was hard and tasteless - not thick, fluffy and tasty. It could have been cardboard! Given that everything else was OK, I decided not to say anything, but when the waiter came and asked how everything was, my friend mentioned that the food was good but the naan was not to my liking. The waiter seemed to be offended and wanted to know, precisely and in detail, what was wrong with it. When I explained, he picked up the naan with his hands rubbing it and turning it over. He said that was how a naan should be, that it was how they always did them, and that they had never had a complaint. He added that, if he brought me another it would be just the same. I replied that I couldn't eat that one now, as he had man-handled it so I would like a replacement, slightly less cooked. He brought back a replacement which was marginally better but not much and I ate about a quarter of it. With hindsight I should not have asked for a replacement but for the naan to be taken off the bill. Overall, the service turned an experience that could have been rated 3 or 4 into a poor and unenjoyable experience. I also thought the price was expensive at around £75 for 2 people with no starter, no dessert, no wine, no coffee - just 2 mains, 1 shared rice, 3 side dishes, 2 beers and a water. We paid the bill but I will not be returning.

The food was excellent, except for the naan bread which was crispy on top and hard at the base. A replacement was given after some discussion but, as the waiter predicted, it was much the same because that, according to him is how naan bread is. Our efforts to explain that naan bread should be a bit doughy failed. If you do eat here and try the naan please post your conclusion.

Allways welcoming friendly cleane good service best curry in Essex

Our favourite Indian restaurant, we look forward to dining here every time we come to Mersea. Great food (especially the very hot imli) and lovely staff, see you again soon I hope 😋

Tried this restaurant a couple of weeks ago what a pleasant surprise, decor is like going back in time food was great, and large portions, manager and staff were so friendly and helpful can’t wait to go back

The food is terrible! I could of cooked at home instead. DONT COME HERE. If I could give zero star I would. I tried to order another dish to see if it might taste at least eatable. BUT NO. There is better restaurants out there don’t waste your money.

Fabulous food, friendly staff good local knowledge

Went for my husband's birthday. Food was exceptional, staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Brilliant meal served by great waiters. Recommended.

Dined in ,food very bland ,starter of shish kebab and shami kebab were very hard no flavour at all ...2 King prawn dishes ,king prawns had a weird texture again no flavour ,sauce was watery like it was made from a cheap gravy ,will not be returning ....

Very busy, food was lovely and felt looked after.

The Biriyani arrived in 30 seconds, it was old, microwaved, and tasteless, and dripping with oil. The draught beer was £5.80. Old onions also taste grim when microwaved. To add to the joy of this we were asked a few times in a row if we were having take away despite already drinking our beer at the table.

Ordered food and as I took a bite into the Samosa started chewing and something wasn’t right looked at the other half of the samosa . And there was blue plastic sticking out. So I rang them and they Said they would replace the samosa. This wasn’t helpful as it put me off the rest of the meal. So sent the samosa’s back and binned the rest. They said they would make it up next time I order. No refund . All pictures been taken for proof.

Best Indian , absolutely loved the ambiance of this restaurant, food was so flavourful. Will definitely be back

We had a lovely meal here. Friendly attentive staff. Great food.

A local told us about the Titash. We found it very easy to book a table considering the size of our group. The service was good and the quality of food was fantastic considering half the group don't do spice.

Lovely meal and staff are so friendly and helpful

Gr8 food, staff very accommodating & attentive

Great food and fantastic service. Keep up the great work guys.

First time here with my daughter. Service and welcome excellent. Food was quick and very good indeed. Decor is a bit dated but don't let that stop you visiting for a lovely meal

The curry was nice Hidden chilli made us cry Kingfisher good choice #HaikuReview

It was last resort to eat as everything on mersea island was closed by 9

Was expecting a wao factor in terms of species but was disappointed to be honest,we ordered different dishes so we could taste the difference but all was blant.we could not taste the difference at all.secondly the food is overpriced.from the curry to the nan bread/chapati .plus I was overcharged .there is always a first time and last time .can't be bothered to drive back all the way

I was nearly put off by some recent reviews but glad we went. Dined in and had a really nice meal, decent service.

Not bad main dishes but very expensive sides (rice & naan) and very slow delivery even though local.

Visited Titash Restaurant for the first time this evening, very saddened to be insulted by a very Racist White British Elderly Couple, clear bullies, ignorance will prevail however they will never forget this evening, they better believe it! People of Colour are highly educated people, and will defend their dignity, what goes around comes around. Manager was very gracious and took the time to speak to us as we left, and was shocked by their behaviour 😳 Black lives Matter, like it or lump it, we are all human beings.

First time visiting and having a takeaway from the Titash and was very impressed. We both agreed that this was our new favourite Indian restaurant. I had a biriani but with a madras sauce which was one of the best I have had in a long time. Chutney tray was amazing too, lots of choice. So we went in to order our takeaway and the chap that served us (sorry didn’t get your name this time) was lovely, we opted for delivery and it came right on time. We now cannot wait to get back!!

We went here last night ..been to this restaurant lots of times and usually very good ..but last night was so different the food was very very bland and tasteless ..they must have a new chef ..We won't return here again im afraid !!!!!!! VERY DISAPPOINTING

Food was great .... Service was diabolical...!!!

Long wait. Service very poor. Asked how long ad wasn't given an answer. Samosas lovely. Seating abit close together. Good atmosphere. Although too noisy for me .

Food & drink excellent 👌🏻 but noisy atmosphere! No compensation!

Food was good but tock vrey long time for evey think from a drink to the food apart from that good food

went last Saturday staff were excellent a hot curry came out warm but other than that it was very good will return

Not sure if the chef has changed but got £35 worth of food last night and can honestly say it all went in the bin. The taste was so so bland with no flavours at all. I had 2 spoonful and just couldn't eat Any more. Will not be going here again! Food seriously gone downhill since Corona.

Superb takeaway! Try the King prawns on puri!

Lovely surprise to see Ali and the evening got better with the food and service first class for all the team

Great restaurant superb food. Would like to visit again a few time before a 5 star sample more of the menu..

The worst experience ever. We was packed in like sardines, the dips that come with the poppadoms were water down so badly you couldn’t even put them on as they run straight off, and tasted of water. How is mango chutney runny like water ? . The service was awful no care at all. So over priced I noticed a bottle of wine which is £6.00 in the supermarket and was £26.00, I’m all for making money but wow that’s daylight robbery. When our food was ready to be placed onto the table the waiter came and said move your drinks and then just slammed the hot plates down. I did try and talk to a waiter but he wasn’t interested at all. We won’t be returning, over priced and not nice.

Delicious as always. Staff always welcoming especially the owner Dil

My boyfriend has a soy and dairy allergy. I have a plant based diet. The staff and service here couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. Titash itself is very traditional Indian with beautiful Indian music and the food was absolutely exquisite. Best place to eat out in the whole of Colchester - truly!!

Great meal and service as always

Great food and relaxed service, you don't feel like you're being rushed to free up the table.

Great menu choice, bubbly atmosphere & fantastic service! Need to book as vbusy & popular

Great meal. Social distancing non existent and no masks worn by staff. Can't fault the food though and would return.

The food here was excellent. Next time I'm on the island will be a definite visit back to Titash.

Food incredible as ever! All staff super friendly and polite even though they were clearly rushed off their feet with restaurant and takeaway. You're always made to feel welcome at Titash!

Wow I ordered fish bhuna and it was the best Indian meal I've ever had and I eat a fair few!!

Lovely meal and cooked to perfection. I sampled a new variety of curry i had never eaten before, yes nice. Will go back again when we go to Mersea island again.

Used Titash for a delivery for the first time whilst staying overnight in West Mersea as tourists. Absolutely fabulous food which we couldn’t fault and very highly recommend. We loved West Mersea and will return. Will definitely use Titash again when we do and wish it was our local!

An overnight stay in West Mersea and had dinner here. Really great service and the food was really good, loved the different accompaniments for the poppdums, especially the coconut. Can recommend the chicken tikka vindaloo, king prawn pathia, mushroom rice, keema naan, tandoori roti and aloo mushroom accompanied by the Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. The only criticism was the king prawn puri to start was a bit salty but otherwise lovely. Highly recommend.

We just had the best takeaway from here. On holiday so wasn't expecting such quality. The meat was amazing. Seriously 5* food. Kids also said it was the best!

Love a trip to the Titash. Easily the best Indian Restaurant in Mersea...

My prawn biryani was too dry & sticky & the prawns were like bullets . I did tell them this was my 1st order with them so you think they could have done better .

Ordered a takeaway for two, delivered on time, great quality food, high quality of meat used, good portion sizes. Highly recommended.

Great food and a good atmosphere, pleasant staff

had takeaway last night the curry was like hot water poured over chicken no flavour at all very dissapointing and exspensive will not order again

Fantastic service Great food Lovely people . The staff work very hard , it does get busy but that is because it is so good. we live on Mersea island and get amazing takeaways and often go to restaurant always been good... Andy Gager

Good food. Questionable service This place is pretty much full at weekends but they give visiting customers second class service. With the food being good you visit here and then suffer as there is a constantu line of takeaway meals going out We ended up waiting close on an hour for our starter . The couple on the next table waited nearly 2 hours before their mains arrivedBe prepared to suffer - and when they come round to offer you a second drink bear in mind the prices which might surprise you when you get the bill........They need to make sure they treat visiting customers better

We regularly go to Titash and pre Covid always booked to eat in the restaurant. Service always friendly and staff helpful if you had questions about the dishes. I like to try different dishes but my husband and family tend to have the same each time. It’s definitely the best Indian restaurant about and I have now sampled a lot of their different dishes. I always used to be sceptical about getting takeaway but due to health issues we have to be a bit careful going out And about atmo. Not wanting to miss out on food from Titash we have been ordering takeaways. Brilliant! Still delicious and hot. Only thing that concerns me a bit is that to order online it shows up as a non secure website, so we still order by phone.

We was on holiday on Mersea Island.. found this Amazing takeaway.. food was great.. so much to eat.. one of the best Lamb Rogans I’ve had from anywhere.. a little pricy but happy to pay when the food is so good.. thank you.. would highly recommend..

Absolutely amazing food....service with a smile. And that coconut dip was lush.

Spent my birthday weekend at our family caravan on Seaview so decided to have a take away curry to collect. Now I'm a huge curry fan and had too many to remember from loads of different places,i love all dishes and know whats good and whats not.Let me tell you as an expert this was excellent. It was restaurant quality in take away tubs. One of THE best I've had.If you love a curry you will not go wrong here.

Very good service and very nice food

Good food & flavour, but delivery was 45 minutes late & food only luke warm. This has happened twice so not a one off. Rather disappointed.

We were lucky to get in to this restaurant due to its popularity. The first time our 2 sons have tried a real curry. One is 12 and the other is 8. They both scored it a big 10 out of 10 for flavour, 10 out of 10 for how friendly and polite the staff were.... they want to go back again tomorrow.... lolI must admit the food tasted amazing, lovely flavours and presented beautifully. The staff were extremely polite, very attentive and made sure we really enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be returning the next time we stay in Mersea.Make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment though as they are very popular....

We booked a table for 6, arrived 10 mins early but waited over an hour for our table. Once seated we waited 15 mins for our drinks to arrive. After deciding to skip starters as time was getting on we went straight for our mains. Chilli inferno, south indian garlic, bhuna, tikka masala x2 and a garlic bhuna. We had several naans as although tasty they were a little on the small side. Food was excellent, no complaints from any of us. The only issue appears to be with service and organisation of the restaurant. Would I eat here again? Definitely! Although I would try to book at a quieter time.

Very nice curry and atmosphere!

Can’t comment on the food as I booked table online through there website we were getting ready to go for our meal & they sent a text message with less than hours notice to say they could not fit us in despite fact I had email confirmation of booking when I phoned them back just said they could rebook for another day very disappointing service

We always order from Titash when we visit Mersea Island and fancy a change. We usually pick up but with current covid rules we decided to order online. I did struggle a bit with webpage and ordered only 1 poppadom by mistake, but we got there! We ordered our usual from the holiday home for delivery and food arrived quickly and steaming hot. Delicious as always.

Took over an hour to arrive but was all very good; chicken shaslick, chicken passanda, onion bhajis, Bombay Potato, pilau rice & plain popadoms
