Located in the heart of Colchester, Bees Indian Restaurant Bar & Grill at 105 High St delivers a memorable dining experience that harmoniously blends traditional Indian flavors with modern presentation. The Bees Indian Restaurant Bar & Grill Menu showcases a diverse range of dishes that speak to both connoisseurs of Indian cuisine and curious first-timers.
What sets this restaurant apart is its dedication to quality and detail. From the moment you peruse the menu, the variety is striking. Classic dishes like chicken tikka masala and lamb rogan josh are prepared with a clear emphasis on authenticity, using fresh herbs and spices that provide a depth of flavor without overwhelming the palate. For those seeking a vegetarian or vegan option, there is no shortage of choice-the paneer dishes and the lentil-based dals are equally impressive and hearty.
One standout feature is the grill section. The tandoori selections, such as the sizzling mixed grill platter, offer juicy, smoky meats that are marinated to perfection. Portions are generous, and the plating is elevated, making the food just as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste buds. The naan breads-especially the garlic and peshwari-are warm, fluffy, and a perfect complement to the rich curries.
In terms of ambiance, the setting is inviting, with a modern interior that balances comfort and elegance. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, often offering helpful suggestions based on personal preference or spice tolerance. Prices are competitive for the area, offering great value considering the portion size and overall quality.
In comparison to other Indian establishments in the region, Bees manages to strike a rare balance between traditional and contemporary. It’s a strong contender for both casual dinners and special occasions, making it a go-to spot for Indian cuisine in Colchester.
