About The Britannia & Gurkha Restaurant & Bar
The Britannia and Gurkha Restaurant and Bar sits on Meyrick Crescent in Colchester as an Indian restaurant serving dinner in the evenings. The kitchen works with classic Indian ingredients and techniques, and the menu offers a standard range alongside a bar pouring draught beer and lager. Payment is by cash or card, and the team takes reservations for tables while walk-ins can often be seated at the bar. Dogs are welcome, and the room opens onto an outside seating area when the weather allows. Parking is available on site and along the street for guests arriving by car.
