About Coriander Restaurant - Indian & Bengali Fine Dinning
Coriander is a modern Indian restaurant on Barlow Moor Road in Chorlton that takes fresh ingredients seriously. The owner, Martin, cooks with organic produce and explains his methods to diners — reviewers mention leaving "educated and definitely delighted." The menu moves beyond heavy curry-house standards; one regular praised "the freshness of pineapple in the slaw" and another noted the food was "light and fresh." It's casual enough for a Monday night solo visit, but the kitchen treats each plate with care. Service is consistently described as warm and thoughtful. The space has a terrace (spring and autumn), a bar, and live music. Dogs are welcome inside and out. At £10–20 per head, it's reasonably priced for what you're getting — proper ingredients, not shortcuts.
