Coriander Central Chorlton

Serving food that's as fresh, aromatic and bold as their namesake, Coriander celebrates the very best of Bengal cuisine in Manchester.

Poised like a modern-day palace, Coriander seeks to instil that sense of 'going out' with their glamorous restaurant. Spacious and with minimal accessories to clutter up the space, the dining hall is perfectly streamlined to accommodate monochrome dining tables and chairs, all in close succession to create a sense of togetherness. Punctuating this minimalist colour scheme are the splashes of lime green that bring us back to the magnificent herb itself: coriander.

Unsurprisingly, curries rule the roost and you are invited to try a range of creations you might not have tried before. From Coriander's signature keema curry to chicken with coriander, hot naga king prawns, Chennai coconut fish curry and Coriander special paneer, you'll soon realise that they have their own special way of doing everything.

They're also using the tandoor to full effect and pumping out the likes of smoky tandoori chicken, cinnamon-infused beef tikka and Achari paneer tikka. And with a whole vegetable section that singles out squidgy aubergine, seasonal vegetables, lentils and chickpeas as their star ingredients, there's nothing left to do but fall head-over-heels for the most divisive of herbs.
