I like a plain old chicken jalfrezi in a hot bowl papperdoms in a stack not broken bits in a fancy bowl with a tiny dish of onions and chutney like a teaspoons worth..not an Indian or bengal food more like Thai mix Chinese, not seen duck and spring onion on any Indian restaurant I've been too... That's for sure. Aslo had better service one menu available between 4!!!!! Had to ask if we could order then ask again when the food would be arriving not a relaxing meal after work that's for sure. Chorlton though these days is not what it was full of overrated rubbish restaurants. Plus note Cobra pint was ice cold in an ice cold glass £4.50 not bad value for Chorlton either

It then took a further 30 mins for anybody to take our order, bearing in mind the restaurant wasn 't that busy for a Friday night. After another 30 mins we had to chase up our food which was then delivered within 5 mins. What can I say about the food. Fish tikka arrived and could have stank the whole restaurant out with how fishy it was. It was also very slimy. Definitely not fresh. The chicken in our curries was pink upon inspection so didn 't eat that. The tikka massala was like a tin of heinz soup. The jalfrezi tasted of nothing more than tomato puree and chopped tomatoes. Categorically the worst restaurant food we have ever had. Will not be back.

My prawn house special was delicious, and included some crunchy vegetable matter for good measure. Result.

I eat an Indian Meal every week this was my first visit to the Coriander in Chorlton (Manchester). We had the best Indian Meal we have had this year, I particularly liked the goat pathia. The whole experience was excellent.
