Kolam

Amit Bhagat

Kolam Restaurant in Newtown NOW has a New Chef/Owner as of May 2022, from the Northern Region of India (Punjab) Previous Owners were from Kerela, India. Which is the Southern Coastal Region of India. This is the core information, I’m sharing with all the Potential Patrons, since most of the Indian Restaurants in Ct are not even owned or run by Indians anymore. I was Born in the Northern Region of India, where the most Popular Indian Food comes from. I’m extremely fussy & passionate about food, Thanks to my Italian Bosses…….. Let’s get to the point, Food at Kolam reminded me of my Grandmother and my Mom’s, Cooking when I was Young/Teenager, growing up in Punjab. Also, Our Family used to go and watch the Rural Games @ Kila Raipur in Punjab, India, where a lot of Rural Food Vendors sold Scrumptious Indian Street food to the Crowd and that’s what Kolam reminds me off. So if you really want to enjoy an old world classic meal from Northern region of India, this is the place. I’m sure they’ll Change their Name in future to A Classic Punjabi Eatery. Pictures below are of Punjabi Kadhi Pakora, Chana Bhatura and Chicken Curry. It can’t be more Authentic than this, Period. It’s Nostalgic for me. Chef Malkit Singh has Magic in his Hands, it’s a God’s Gift, Enjoy it while it Lasts……. Life’s too Short !!!! God Bless. AB

Well it's not easy being candid about our visit here. The welcome we got was on the frosty side when we arrived with our neighbors as a party of four..We were asked if we had a reservation as humorous as it that was considering the place was empty at 7pm.The food, samoas, lamb byriani, cauliflower dish were on the overcooked,greasy tasting side of things.Not sure there's much to reccomend here and we're far from critical normally.

Great food, friendly staff and extensive menu. I had a lamb dish; the meat was very tender and well cooked, the naan fantastic as well. Loss of a star for dated, dark interior.
