I have to disagree with Mr Harvey in every respect. The food is delicious, the portions are just right and the presentation is impeccable. I will concede that he is right when he states that it is not "maylasian" food; it is malaysian, and it is scrumptious.

Having been to Maylasia I know how good maylasian cuisine can be. Accordingly I booked a table for six on my last birthday.
When we arrived I was impressed by the surroundings and was greeted warmly by the waiter.
I wanted something spicy and was informed that the Maylay-maylay menu was the one with the most heat and the waiter recommended a dish which he claimed to be the warmest on the menu(note i did not expect something vndaloo-hot). The starters were small, pretentious and bland(sorry, i can't remember what they were because they were so unsatisfactory).
When the main course came it tasted okay, nothing more. It was very weakly spiced and certainly wouldn't cut the mustard in any decent maylay hotel. maylasian food is charachterised by its heat: this was not maylasian food, and the restaurant was empty on a saturday night.

It has only taken us 35 years for my wife and I to visit Colwick Hall and its restaurants since we moved up to Nottingham in the 70s. We must get out more often

As brand new Gourmet Club members we decided to try out the card for the first time and sample the Georgetown Malaysian Restauarants in Colwick Hall.

In a very pleasant, yet surprisingly sparsely populated restaurant for a Saturday evening we received very polite service and well presented dishes, albeit of quite modest serving sizes.

The menu boasts three different Malaysian styles - Malaysian Chinese, Malaysian Indian and, well - Malaysian Malay! Interestingly you can mix and match items from all three different styles enabling you to concoct a weird varety of courses. All tastes accounted for.

Overall, good food, good service. The introductory page of the menu promises a dining experience with background accompaniment of Mozart. We did notice the grand piano at the front of the restaurant and wondered if the pianist would show. Alas it was Malaysian dining to the soft mellow tones of Madonna and Beyonce.

We were given the option of using the Gourmet Club's 25% off the whole bill or the restaurant's own offer of 50% off the food bill. We mused over this choice over our bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and opted for the latter, being better value.

Our first outing with the Gourmet Club Card and didn't need to use it!

Excellent venue, the whole experience was lovely from arriving to being shown to our table to the pianist playing mozart; the food was unusual, interesting, and well presented; i can't praise it enough, it will remain one of my favorite restaurants!
