The good: Tasty, beautifully presented and well-spiced Indian food. Friendly staff and efficient but not overbearing service. Kingfisher beer on tap. The soft-shell crab was near perfect, saag gosht was reassuringly fragrant and filling, the aloo gobi sabzi actually had a bit of bite and the toasted coconut rice was sensational. The not-so-good: The ambience - it's always really quiet every time I go past and we nearly didn't go in tonight because there was only one other couple inside. In the end we were glad we did but it was only because we'd had positive reports on the food from a couple of friends.  If we hadn't had a recommendation then we'd probably have gone elsewhere. It must be disheartening for staff to turn up and cater to so few customers although they're very welcoming nonetheless. I wonder if changing the design of the entrance might make a difference? If you kept the outdoors seating area open for people wanting snacks/coffee/quick drinks and put some sort of partial screen to hide the interior to make it feel a bit more intimate then you might get a bit of atmosphere. Offering discounts to nearby healthcare workers and advertising on the hospital noticeboards might help. The food and staff are great but there's a spark missing. The naan bread was okay but small portions. If you've got a tandoor or similar then could you use it to make big teardrop shaped fluffy naan? The essential burnt bits and fluffiness were missing from the bread we ate. Unfortunately I don't think the name does you any favours. 'Colour Me Flavour' doesn't tell me anything about the food or what sort of cuisine you're offering. Higher-end Indian fusion is always going to run the risk of being a bit hit and miss. We stuck with the more traditional Gujarati specials because we figured the fusion stuff might be a gamble. Having eaten with you once we'd probably try some of the other dishes but for a first-time visitor they needed a bit more explanation on the menu to convince us to try them out.
