The best restaurants serving Asian food in Castle Colchester East of England

Portion sizes very dissimilar - one dish almost triple the size of another dish, yet costing the same. Cold food - food got cold just 5 minutes after being served making it unappealing to finish. Bad service - waiting staff asking if everything was OK just 30 seconds into beginning the meal. Used to be good, but has seemingly gone downhill.

Great food, best onion bahjees in town!

Love the food and drinks and building is so nice and old fashion/old school

We visited for a birthday on a Tuesday night. There were people in the restaurant which we were surprised about as it was a weekday night. There was a nice atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. Lovely surroundings and nice and clean. We chose the set menu which was plentiful and tasty. Reasonably priced for the quality of food and bottle of wine. We will visit again

After looking at the reviews, we head out to the restaurant and unfortunately it was a bad experience & a costly one. We were given a table ( 5 of us ) , the initial impression of the interior looked lovely, the auto rickshaw parked inside was a good photo opportunity. Looking at the menu card like very high premium prices, but thinking they supposed to be tasty food, enough for all, we ordered about 10 starters, all came late and not hot, a portion of rolls (2) costs an eye watering £7 ( it's 75p each usually) £7 is way exaggerated price that wasn't proper ceylon rolls either.. the pork dish also didn't taste any good and very small ( yet highly priced ) alongside the spicy fried squid,that was bland with peppers on top. Moving on to drinks, the glasses were full of ice and 330ml can soft drink that costing over £5, the ordered wine glases were OK, standard. Main menu, we were told there are no mutton dishes served,eventhough menu card said & moreover there was no biriyani dishes was on the menu, there should be no srilankan restaurants without biriyani, to our surprise options were limited, so we ordered chicken kothu, again it tool nearly an hour to serve ( the restaurant was about 20%full) and local parking had 2 hour limit we expected the lunch would not take 2 hours but there was lot of waiting, eventually the kothu main was served , surprise again, far small potion of it,it's enough for a child but not adults,we had to hurriedly eat and leave without feeling full or content, the kothu was spicy but lacked ingredients. The bill was in our view, based on places we have eaten srilankan food was double & it was a bad choice going to this place. We don't think the food & drink served both in quality and quantity justified of the price was charged and the unacceptable delays in serving food. Sorry I would give no stars for ruining affer family get together Sunday lunch. But the 2 stars for the friendly waitress.

Wonderful service. Friendly and advised on food portions and dishes. Love the restaurants decor, this is what a Chinese restaurant should feel and look like, also plenty of room and comfortable chairs. Food portions very generous. The chips are the best in COLCHESTER! Table had a heated circular revolving plate. Also good value. Thank you.

Delivery time changed several times after ordering. Noodles luke warm and greasy, very little meat
