One of the best restaurant I have ever dined in.
Every dish is made cautiously and cooked to perfection.

The knowledge of the chefs is outstanding which many chefs does not know.

Will definitely go back to the East Street Grill.

We had no idea what to expect but by the end of the evening vowed to come back! Watch out for your high heels on the highly polished floor as you come in and settle down to a feast with wines to match. You can hardly imagine this is part of a chain, the food is freshly prepared and reading the menu leaves you too many choices. We settled on the Filetto di manzo al pepe verde and Pollo con Funghi, though ended up eating each other's food, it was so appealing! Puds are just as scrummy especially with a glass of dessert wine. Fab place and we noticed that kids dining there were looked after well, unlike other restaurants in the area. Highly recommended.

I've now been here 3 times in the past 2 months, with my husband and in-laws. Twice was for a Sunday lunch, which was packed, but still had great service and food. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Once was for a Monday evening meal, which was a lot quieter, but still good quality with a great range. Although I've had the scampi and chips 3 times (!) others in the group have gone for partridge, pork and fish, which have been excellent (I've tried them). The puddings are especially good. We've really enjoyed our meals there, and will be going again.

I visited your lovely inn last April and recieved your card from Pauline.

I understand that Mr & Mrs. Pettican and Mr. & Mrs Rogers will be having a birthday celebration in your Inn on the 24th.

Would you please wish them all the very best for the coming year? A card is on the way to each of the ladies, but I'm afraid it won't get there in time.

Just sign me a Canadian fan.

the food shown on the web sites have nothing to do with the food served here. I took my husband this December to celebrate his birthday and found it to be basic 'pub grub' and not that good either. We ended up having fish and chips, not what I'd had in mind!Shows it self to be almost a la carte but way off the mark.

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.

A fairly average, slightly overpriced pseudo American Diner. We found the food very average and the chicken wraps that we had were quite oily and without much flavour. I then remembered why I hadn't been for so many years. I hadn't been impressed the first time either.
