We had a lovely family meal. Interesting menu, nice presentation, thoughtful food that's is very tasty. Had a range of dishes and all were well prepared and full of flavour.

This visit must rank as one of my most uncomfortable eating experiences, EVER! I failed to follow my instincts and decided to give this place the benefit of the doubt after the front-of-house host promised us a discount whilst observing us peruse the menu for...a while. I ordered a mixed starter and waited, what seemed to be a considerable amount of time, for its arrival after seeing several later-arrival customers being served before us. My partner’s starter had arrived but alas, not mine! After summoning the host to query its whereabouts, he hurried into the kitchen area where I assumed that he questioned the cook. More minutes passed before an anxious-looking person emerged from the kitchen area carrying what I assumed to be my starter. He passed our table and we watched as the same plate was eventually taken from him before being 'plonked' onto our table by the silent host. I was immediately saddened by the appearance of the food items. The kebab had a 'pinkish' appearance as though it was under-cooked and its temperature was considerably lacking for something that should have been freshly-prepared. The samosas were equally lacking adequate heat and I once again sought the attention of the said host to register my dissatisfaction, expecting that he be understanding and resolve the issue. My starter was taken away and later presented once again, this time by a non-apologetic person, whom I assumed was the cook. I was again very disappointed at the outcome as the samosas were charred and inedible. When the half-empty plate was eventually cleared away it was at this stage that I really began to regret not following my initial instincts and despaired as to what the main course would resemble now that my illusions had been shattered by the starter. Since we were seated near to the kitchen it was easy to observe the appearance of meals being brought out, particularly to other tables close to us. What we did observe proved to be the deciding factor for us to leave the establishment without waiting for the main course to be presented. After a curt, brief explanation to the host, as well as overhearing an angry takeaway customer returning their meals, our rapid exit was made. Needless to say, we shall NEVER return to this establishment and I certainly intend to resume following my instincts with respect to dining out!!More
Nice restaurant decor, sadly lost their way with the food.some people might enjoy it, just for me it wasn't a proper Indian more like fusion fancy stuff. I like a plain old chicken jalfrezi in a hot bowl papperdoms in a stack not broken bits...in a fancy bowl with a tiny dish of onions and chutney like a teaspoons worth..not an Indian or bengal food more like Thai mix Chinese, not seen duck and spring onion on any Indian restaurant I've been too... That's for sure. Aslo had better service one menu available between 4!!!!! Had to ask if we could order then ask again when the food would be arriving not a relaxing meal after work that's for sure. Chorlton though these days is not what it was full of overrated rubbish restaurants. Plus note Cobra pint was ice cold in an ice cold glass £4.50 not bad value for Chorlton eitherMore
To start we were given a drinks menu 20 mins after arrival. We were then given 1 main menu to share between 4 of us as the rest were 'occupied'. It then took a further 30 mins for anybody to take our order, bearing in...mind the restaurant wasn't that busy for a Friday night. After another 30 mins we had to chase up our food which was then delivered within 5 mins. What can I say about the food. Fish tikka arrived and could have stank the whole restaurant out with how fishy it was. It was also very slimy. Definitely not fresh. The chicken in our curries was pink upon inspection so didn't eat that. The tikka massala was like a tin of heinz soup. The jalfrezi tasted of nothing more than tomato puree and chopped tomatoes. Categorically the worst restaurant food we have ever had. Will not be back.More
The coriander Dahl was honestly one of the best I’ve had. Great service from Shakil, I would highly recommend!
Food tasty , service great. Just way too many flies landing everywhere. On me and the food. Then I checked food hygiene and it’s 2. Probably explains the flies. So we won’t return. Aim higher, you charge enough
We had a delicious meal at Coriander. We asked the waiter to choose for us and we weren’t disappointed. Great choice for both meat and non meat eaters. Very friendly service.
Very disappointed as I have wanted to try this place for a long time after a menu was posted through my door. Ordered at 16.30 for 17.00 delivery, 17.40 no sign. I called the restaurant who said that it was on the way. 18.00 still...no sign (an hour late & I live 2 miles away) I called the restaurant again and was told that the delivery driver came to my house and dropped it outside so it was brought back to be recooked. Food then arrived 10 minutes later… the curry & rice was hot in temperate but all starters and naan were cold. Poor service & poor food!More
Had an excellent time today,all staff dressed smart and very helpful/polite.Food didn’t take long to arrive and was very authentic and tasty with larger than expected portions.Manager boss came to greet us at the end of the meal with a smile.Also it is always good...when you get the bill and it is lower than expected :) cannot fault this place whatsoever 10/10 in my opinion will 100% eat here again!More
Absolutely beautiful food, so full of flavour and good sized portions. Such good value, definitely order again.
Yet another gorgeous meal in this place. They put so much effort into the creation of their dishes. You can really taste layers of flavour. The pickles are good, the roti are fresh, nothing is too heavy..it's got real freshness. I go for the Naga...chilli chicken..very hot, very fragrant..my partner has an aubergine paneer dish that is through the roof delicious..I have had so many bad, over priced curries in the city centre..so lucky to have this place in the middle of chorlton...thoroughly recommend it..More
We went as a table of five yesterday and have a really nice meal. The positives include great poppadoms and condiments, absolutely trop drawer. Really good starter platters (both meat and veggie) with the samosas being that of a punjabi variety rather than filo-pastry deep...fried. Everyone was happy with their mains though I just had a bad choice. I went for the Urban Chicken which was fruiter than I imagined and with the amount of Peshwari's on the table, it just didn't work together. But in saying that, the chicken in the curry was moist and tender. I tried a couple of other curries on the table which were very nice. Now onto the only real negative and that is the Peshwari Naan. I am a firm believer in the power of Peshwari, it's a must on any curry table. But these Naans were stuffed too much with filling and became sickly sweet and did so in a hurry. It didn't stop me from eating a Naan and a half but some of my pals really struggled with it. All in all, a really strong meal and as our Didsbury Curry Club ventured out of Didsbury for only the second time (we had a horror show at Royal Nawaab in Levenshulme which I still haven't forgiven Danny about) we will look to go further afield again.More
A fabulous meal as always last night at Coriander in Chorlton. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed the really interesting starters and our main courses were delicious and plentiful. The style of cooking at Coriander is a breath of fresh air. Flavours are intense and...intricate but the food is fresh and lightly cooked with no excessive oil or heat. Martin and his team were as friendly and helpful as ever and the whole experience was an absolute pleasure.More
Went to Coriander on a Thursday night for a family get together. There was 12 in our party. The food was excellent all the meals came out at the same time and was hot ,the service was good. There was only 2 staff on and...the chef but they all did a great job. Would recommend this restaurant. Can get very busy at weekend.More
thank you so much for your comments hope see you again
I Have been here 5 times in the last year always in a large group. The food is definitely a cut above the average for Indian restaurants. Excellent quality, superb tastes and freshness. However, on every occasion when I we have been through the bill...at the end of the meal there has been extra items on there. Buyer beware.More
