OK, hit up Ashiana and Indian lovers are in for a real treat. The owners had a long established restaurant just a stones throw away and that was always my favourite Indian in the town. They moved as the previous premesis is earmarked for redevelopment (although it's still trading as an Indian...go figure!).
The decore is "lets try to look trendy on the cheap". More Ikea than Conran but adequate.
The main draw is the food and you just cant fault it. The portions,especially the take-aways are generous and good value. The staff are always friendly and ready to help.
When I get a take away with the family they always give me some complimentary extras for free (as they do everyone I'm sure) the gullible wife thinks it's because they like us, bless her!
Very busy as you would expect at the weekends so book, highly recommended, best Indian food in Colchester.
