Reviews in Chorlton

Great food and very friendly and efficient service. very warm and pleasant environment. Everyone enjoyed the night and even the kids had good time.

Visited Coriander for the first time last night, it was really busy and although its small you don't feel like you are sitting in the laps of others. The food was fantastic, the staff are really attentive without being overbearing, after enquiring about my own tastes the waiter recommended Grandmothers vegetables and what a fantastic recommendation it was! As a vegetarian dining out with a meat eater, the choice was fantastic. Eaten the left overs for lunch today! Don't be put off by the decor just enjoy the delicious food, great service and nice cold beer.

First visit yesterday,courtesy of the excellent reviews on this page.On arrival at 5pm i was very very sceptical as the place was empty and the decor,although clean,leaves alot to be desired. We sat down and ordered,with the very helpful assistance of the waiter and,while waiting for the food,slowly the place began to fill up which was very reassuring given my initial impressions! On arrival the food,which smelt fantastic while cooking,tasted even better,i had the shashlic with onion rice and was extremely impressed as were my fellow diners with their choices.Highly recommended and proof you should never judge a book by the cover!(however,please hire a new decorator!!)

I felt compelled to write this review, as I had been directed to this restaurant by several people, telling me of the delicious food.Me and my partner enjoyed the shared Mezze to start, it was varied and fresh. However neither of our main meals tasted of very much. Infact of anything. My chicken was watery and there were no mushrooms or green peppers in the mushroom and green pepper sauce. The meal had no seasoning or taste to the sauce, not even an onion or hint of garlic. After taking a few moutfulls I informed the hostess I wasn't happy with my meal of this -her reaction was something extrodinary I have never encountered as a restaurant customer before. She informed me I was a cheapskate who just didn't want to pay for my meal, that I was just to full from the starter. Customers had enjoyed their food for 22 years and I was completley wrong. She intimidated and embarassed me, raising her voice and threating to call the police if I refused to pay for my meal. To top it off, she sent over her husband with the bill to thraten my boyfriend. When asked "do you treat all your customers this way?" The kind owner replied "No, just you." This was supposed to be a celebration meal for my boyfriends new job, and it was completely runied. I have never been treated with such aggression or rudeness before and I would strongly deter anyone from going to this restaurant.

I loved this restaurant till i found a rat in the kitchen

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This has to be THE best Bangladeshi/Indian cuisine in South Manchester. The vegetarian dishes in particular are deliciously inventive (my favourite is Village Style Vegetable - although I suggest you ask for 'medium' as the 'hot' does tend to detract from the taste!). The staff are extremely helpful and courteous and very willing to adapt dishes to suit individual tastes. Once tasted you won't want curry from anywhere else!

Booked a table for six (because they don't do bookings for less than six people, so if you want an intimate dinner for two, always have random strangers to hand to make up the numbers) for last Thursday 2nd July 2009, got there, they denied all knowledge of the booking, waited half an hour before anyone came to take the drinks order... and waited another hour before our salad main course turned up, starters were completely forgotten, and so should you if you're thinking of going there, BoHo Chorlton... more like BooHoo Croma.

Having done a lot research on Middle Eastern Restaurants in and around Manchester and trying them; this is one we will certainly be going back to time and time again. There is a smaller menu than some similar places, but the food was absolutely superb. All 4 of us had something different, and we couldn't fault anything. Some of the starters I had not seen before, and they were mouth watering. Go try this place, it's rustic and homely and doesn't cost a fortune.

Food was very tasty but so overpriced if you consider you get more in the take-away for a quarter of the price.Restaurant itself looked lovely liked the decor.

I have been meaning to recommend this restaurant for some time now. What a fantastic menu and high quality of food. Further, the waiters and chefs are only too happy to make bespoke dishes to suit all taste so if its not on the menu don't be afraid to ask! Some personal recommendations include the Chom Chom, the Balti tikka masale, the Nagpuri, the Granny Style Madras and the paneer rockets to name just a few. Even better, not only is the service friendly and food fantastic, after your meal you are greeted with orange slices, after eights, a Baileys and and After Eight! I've been to all the recommended Indian restaurants in Manchester (Gurkha Grill, Shimla Pinks, Akbars, EastzEast, etc) and I have to say this place stands head and shoulders above the rest - worth a visit!

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions and each time I've been there it's been truly superb. The environment is really relaxing, the staff are so helpful and polite and the food is gorgeous. They have redone their prices recently and the prices are also great. Really cheap, but this is definitely not reflected in their food quality. They have maintained their quality, whilst helping cutting the prices. This is a local Chorlton restaurant that is as good as the city centre Italian restaurants if not better. Give it a go and see how right I am.

I am a regular here and have always found food/service/price excellent so went for mum's 60th last night. The staff could not have been more attentive. They had balloons on the table, the food was fantastic as always and they sang happy birthday. A nice touch was that they gave my mum a present-a beautifully wrapped scarf. I would go as far as to say this is the best restaurant in Manchester.

Friendly staff and superb food. I have eaten in the restaurant and also had a takeaway meal and highly recommend this restaurant. This in my opinion is a better choice than some Rusholme restaurants. I highly recommend the Special Biryani or Garlic Chicken Chilli Masala.

Grandmother's beef says it all, food prepared with love and care without any junk. Don't be influenced with the dross somes places give away to attract customers, Corriander makes honest and very tasty food that I compare all others to - they normally fail.

this is our favourite restaurant ever and believe me we have eaten in a lot of places. The food is brilliant every time and so is the service.........i would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

TERRIBLE! The venue has changed and not for the better, trying oh so hard to look laid back however embarrassingly gets its so wrong by its pretentious were to cool for school attitude. was chucked a lunch menu and it was 5pm on a Sunday afternoon, when asked if that was all was on the menu was told yes by the damn right snotty waitress, I then asked for a large beer and was given a bottle of ALDI beer (cost £3.50in lead station for one in ALDI you get 6 for that) decided on what was described as a sirloin steak sandwich for £6.70 without fries, then looked across the room at two female companions who were delighted with their Sunday Lunch which did look nice tbf.When my partner enquired about why did we not get informed, she said that she was sorry but they had already made the "steak sandwich" which then arrived looking as pitiful as smart piece bacon rasher on two cardboard style dry bread. Anyway dreadful service dreadful place - ripped seating - was good in the 90s well past its sell by - Its over! awful experience ... DONT GO......

We went to this restaurant on the 20/12/08 and as always it was excellent!. We have eaten here about 4 times and each meal has been different and faultless. This really is one of the best (If not the best) Italian's in Manchester. I would fully recommend that you try this one if you like Italian.

We visited the restaurant with Persia friends , who thought the food was excellent , matching Tehran restaurants ,the menu was complete and the pricing was very good , we would recommend this restaurant to any one , the service was good and friendly but watch the bill as we were charged the corkage charge when we had not taken any drinks to the restaurant , but enjoyed their jugs of Dooh , our fault we should have checked the bill
