Colony, Restaurant and bar in Marylebone, City of Westminster, Great Britain.
Colony is a restaurant and bar in Marylebone featuring multiple seating areas with contemporary furnishings, exposed brick walls, and tall windows that flood the interior with natural light. The layout creates an open, welcoming space where guests can watch the kitchen at work.
The establishment opened in April 2010 under the direction of Carlo Spetale and executive chef Atul Kochhar. The head chef departed in June 2011, marking a shift in the restaurant's direction and focus.
The kitchen draws from cuisines across former British colonial regions, with a focus on Indian street food and Asian grilling methods. Diners can taste these influences directly in the menu offerings throughout their visit.
Guests can book tables in advance for dining, with extended opening hours on weekends that accommodate evening plans. Special arrangements for private gatherings or larger parties can be discussed when making your reservation.
The venue gained notice when a well-known musician left after staff declined his request for an off-menu sandwich. The kitchen's firm approach to its printed menu became talk of the moment.
