"Show me another pleasure like dinner which come round every day and lasts an hour."
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand.
Coriander Restaurant
The name Coriander suggests the owners are interested in ingredients. We have tried this restaurant a couple of times recently and liked the flavours.
Familiar Food
Look at their online menu. You can see they serve classic dishes such as chicken pasanda (with nuts). I must admit I like chicken korma which is mild and creamy. Not ideal for anybody on a diet.We had a mixed grill, a curried fish and a lamb dish.
What's different?
The more unusual main dishes include fish? Last time we loved it. This time I was underwhelmed. I also saw pumpkin but that was a main vegetarian dish and not a side dish.
Desserts
The only exotic dessert is kulfi in mango or pistachio flavours. If you like chocolate or surgery desserts they have some.
Drinks
Mango lassi, sweet lassi or salty lassi costs £2.95. You can get a glass of Pinot grigio rosé at £4.70.
Disappointingly Prosecco is only by the bottle. £21.95. Mateus Rose likewise £16.95. You are a few steps away from the Wetherspoons pub.
Side breads
I like peshwari nan and stuffed paratha.
The menu advises you to tell them if you are allergic to assorted ingredients such as molluscs and crustaceans.
In advance of my latest visit i looked up some terms from the menu:
Salli - with potatoes
Finally, coffee.
Decor
The lights all around you are constantly gently changing colour. Bubbles rise up. Opinion was divided on the decor. One person thought lights changing colours looked cheap. However, I just loved the novelty. I found the colours warm and restful, as well as intermittently warm and lively. A novelty. I also loved the bubbles. they are at the front, in the back room and even in the mirror of the ladies toilet.
When we asked for our leftover chickpeas to be wrapped up, this was done.
What was best? Absolutely without doubt the peshwari nan, with the topping of orange coconut. The other plain nan, which comes up automatically with the grill, was OK, but the nan with the topping was wonderful.
