The Coriander - Basildon

Curry, Chicken , Meat

The Coriander restaurant offers a mixed experience in terms of food and service. While some patrons praise the delicious meals and friendly staff, others find the dishes lacking in authenticity and flavor. The pricing and value are also mentioned, with some feeling the food is overpriced while others find it reasonable. Overall, opinions are divided, with some vowing to return and others swearing to find better Indian cuisine elsewhere. The restaurant may have room for improvement, especially in terms of consistency and customer service.

What I Spy on u dislikes about The Coriander:
After months and months of delicious food.......last night's meal was tastless terrible and watery .... ...I may as well have got the cash and given it to to someone in the street. I telephoned the restaurant and they were apologetic and will talk to me next time I book. Not happy with last night's performance by the chef awful View all feedback.

Excellent food with excellent friendly service. The mixed balti on the Chef's Special menu was spectacularly good.

I have been ordering takeaway food from the Coriander for over 8 years, and have always enjoyed their dishes, the quality and depth of flavour has been excellent until recently when I ordered a lamb Dansak, on opening the container to the lamb Dansak I immediately noticed that it was covered in a light orange sauce, previously the sauce had been a deep red colour, when I took my first bite the curry strength in the lamb was ok, but what was noticeable was the complete lack of general spicing, I imagine if you cooked lamb and just added chilli and nothing else, it would taste similar to this dish, Normally you can taste the coriander in the food, but in this case I couldn’t, if this is typical of the quality of food they’re serving up, I will be going elsewhere in future
