Went to Coriander Green for taste of Oakville. Started with the vegetable samosa, the the butter chicken with rice, a chickpea dish and garlic naan, and mango ice cream. All the food was fantastic, so tasty and high quality. The service was a little spotty - servers seemed as if they didn't understand the Taste of Oakville menu, and when going out as a group of 3 girls and wanting separate the bill for each of us was something they've never done before and something that they would have to go out of their way to do. Restaurant is chill around 5pm and starts to pick up around 6pm - plan your visit accordingly! :) read more

Coriander Green - Butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

It was soooo good. All around food, service, ambiance. We had the Dal Makhni and Lamb Buhna with roti and rice.

COVID19 era review. Called for take out order. Around 6pm. Staff picked up the phone and was busy and asked us to wait for 2 mins. We did hear he was busy serving people pick up after pick up and he forgot about the phone 7mins after. We had to hang up and call back to place our order. We order Lamb Vindaloo extra hot and butter naan. This Vindaloo is more tangy than what I am used to. Extra hot is basically medium in the Asian world. We would have wanted more heat. Still delicious though. Food itself would have been 4 stars read more

The most boring Indian food I have ever eaten (and I have eaten a lot and been to India). Stale popadoms with no sauces, boring samosa and onion bhaji, mushy overcooked rice, old naan bread, and curry without a hint of flavor. Very disappointing especially as it was expensive. Give this place a wide berth. read more

This is my first visit to Coriander Green. The restaurant is well situated in Oakville and I was able to find parking easily out front. The waitress was quite knowledgeable and was able to make some good suggestions. I am having the Lamb Rognajosh, and a spicy mushroom dish. The waitress was able to help me to find some good options for me to eat as I have to follow a gluten free diet. The place is well adorned. The chairs are comfortable and are attractive and the place has been nicely painted and comes across as a nice Indian restaurant with a small bar dressed up like a pub. The menu was quite extensive and offers several different meat and veg options. They also offer their own specialty curries which rely heavily on coriander. I am not a huge coriander dish, so I will try them another time: I want to make sure that my first impression is with food that I know well. This is by far the most tender lamb I have been served in an Indian restaurant. The roganjosh is very different than anything I have had. It has egg in it, but it is well diffused. It is fantastic! Mushrooms on the menu! When mushrooms are on the menu at an Indian restaurant, they go on my plate! At first I wasn't sure, but then I realized the flavour was slowly sneaking up on me! Beautiful balance of salt to fat. I was a little surprised when I saw the prices, but there is really good value for dollar. Huge portions and very nicely presented. I will return the next time I am in Oakville! read more

The food was fantastic. Ambiance was great--very cozy and private. The chilli paneer and mutter paneer amazing. The butter naan was incredible. 10/10. Will be back. read more

Ordered through Uber eats Honestly terrible value for the money Paid $81 for dinner for 2, 2 curries no rice or naan included? Do not waste ur money much better Indian food in Oakville Chicken vindaloo had 4 pieces of chicken in it and my palak paneer literally looked and tasted like pond scum (not that I have ever chosen to eat that) Naan bread was 2 tiny half moons completely flat with no rise at all read more

Ordered Paneer tikka and the coriander speciality naan. Paneer tikka was the expensive dish in the vegetarian menu but the paneer has a texture similar to tofu. I was disappointed by the dish. The naan was okay. Still better than most restaurants in GTA. read more

We were looking for a good Indian place and this place came highly recommended. It definitely lived up to what we heard. The food was really delicious and the service was beyond excellent. When we come back to the area we will definitely come back! read more

We visited Toronto from Bay Area, CA. Went to this restaurant for dinner and am so glad we did! Each and every food item we ordered including the masala chai was just mind blowing ! Specially the vegetarian mix veg was just amazing that we ordered that twice. The waiters were so welcoming and really friendly! We were a group of 6 with a kid, and all of us had a great time there. read more

Heard about this place from a friend and thought about giving it a try. Me and my wife visited this place for dinner along with another couple two weeks ago. The place was deserted since it was just 1/2 hour before closing time. Kudos to the only lady serving us who was quite calm and did not push us for the order. The ambience is very good with decent lighting and well spaced tables. We were a bit sceptical about the food since it was that late but we were wrong. We ordered some Onion Bhajji's as appetizers along with our beer and was crispy and well cooked within. For the mains, we went with Roti's and bullet naan, Coriander green special bhartha and chilli paneer. All of them were just perfect and we were glad that we were not disappointed after travelling from Mississauga and that too being late. Also, the prices were very moderate for the quality of food served. We will surely come back to try other dishes soon. read more

I went there with a friend for lunch today and I was very excited about trying a descent Indian restaurant in Oakville, with great reviews. Unfortunately we couldn't wait until the food was ready. We had a roach walking on our table, right on top of the cutlery. I also had a snack cracker with a piece of black hair in it, which was a total turn off. We had to cancel the order and leave the place. The manager was apologetic and nice although my friend and I were too disgusted to stay. read more

So, I am new to Canada and this was my first meal in Oakville (this is also my first Yelp review in Canada too). I'm from the UK, so I am used to good Indian food (Chicken Tikka Masala is the most popular dish in the country.) Based on the Yelp reviews, I was excited to give this place a try as I had been craving Indian food. I decided to go for my usual chicken tikka masala so I had a comparison (it was actually called Butter Chicken - aka the US name for CTM). Based on some other reviews stating the spice level was hot, I opted for medium (as I like spicy food but not burn the roof of my mouth off, sweating buckets, while tearing up hot). The service was fine, nothing extraordinary as I was taking the food away and the food was ready in about 20 minutes. In my opinion, it was expensive...$35 for one meal with rice and a naan bread, but maybe I'm just not used to Canadian prices yet (I came here from the US). Volume wise, there was plenty of food. I literally halved the portion so I have another meal for tomorrow (although I'm not a massive eater). I knew on my first bite I was not impressed. First of all, there was absolutely NO heat - this was not the medium spice level I was expecting. The second mouthful confirmed my worst fears that this was not going to cure my Indian food craving. I can only compare it to the feeling when you take a swig of what you expect is a refreshingly cold, fizzy coke and instead you get that warm, flat syrupy nastiness that is a coke that has been left in a hot car for a hour or two. Yep - that disappointing. The naan bread was a little soggy and tasted of a little too much cardamom. Did I eat the meal? Yes, I was starving and I'd paid for it. Would I order from here again? That's a definite and resounding, no! read more

I took my mom here for a belated Mother's Day lunch on a Saturday afternoon (so it was my non-vegan day). It is hidden on a side street straight off Lakeshore and I would have never known about this place had it not been for Yelp. We ordered the lamb curry and butter chicken (both mild) that came with naan and rice. Both curries were really good and aromatic. Everything was very fresh and the decor is pretty nice too. The only con about this place is that it's slightly more on the pricey side for around $18-$20 per dish. However, the service is very nice and is close to the lake in Oakville, so it's kind of expected since food is more expensive in this area than downtown. Verdict: Pretty good for a decent meal and a special occasion. read more

Absolutely amazing signature Coriander Green Fish curry! Fresh wholesome roti and big glass of lassi! Usually I start with ambiance but food was mesmerizing so I broke my flow. Decor was pretty cosy with dim lights. Reminded me of old fashioned restaurants back home when everything didn't use to be 'in your face'! Service was impeccable with our host suggesting that we rather order one curry instead of two since it will be enough. I love the honesty. It shouldn't be about selling food right? Wish we were staying close by. For An evening with ghazals on the rocks. Will be back for sure! read more

What a great spot! As I continue my tour learning about the excellent restaurants in Oakville (that apparently I have been missing my first year of being a suburbanite), we found Coriander Green! This place is a gem - it's an upscale Indian restaurant, with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere - as soon as you come in the smells are intoxicating! We tried a variety of dishes, accompanied by a Kingfisher beer (which they serve in copper mugs!). Everything was delicious, flavorful and balanced, with one thing really standing out - GARLIC NAAN! I think this is the best garlic naan I've ever had in my life. I said it. While prices are a bit high (from my Toronto point of view), they are really on par with the area. I wouldn't hesitate to come back! read more

This is the third Indian restaurant we've tried since moving to the area, and it is by far our favourite. We usually go once a week, at least, and it is great whether you eat it there or get it for take-out. My husband gets the Shrimp korma and I like the shahi paneer. The garlic naan is also delicious. They are willing to do a mild version of the food for wimps like me. After the mild version, it gets spicy quickly, but they can also do half mild and half medium. The restaurant is family-owned, so we see the same people there each time, and they are very friendly. If you go on Friday or Saturday night, it is quite busy and the pace of service is a little slower. Any other time, and it's pretty calm and quick service. The portions are also pretty sizeable, so I usually end up with lunch the next day. read more

Coriander Green - Outside with bike parking - Indian Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Some of the best Indian food I've ever had was at Coriander Green. Very flavourful and they always ask how spicy you want your dish (for this who can't tolerate the heat). The service was great, very friendly. We ordered the Shrimp Korma (medium spicy) and Butter Chicken (mild spicy). The mild spice level had no kick to it at all, so if you're looking for a subtle kick, I'd recommend medium. Highly recommend dining at Coriander Green. read more

"Best curry I've ever had, even back home in India" - Said my colleague who I took there for lunch last week. When a business colleague wanted to take us out, he suggested an Indian place he likes in Burlington. I suggested Coriander Green and the two gentlemen from India that came with us were very impressed. I'm always impressed but I wouldn't call myself an expert. I've been a fan since I tried their Butter Chicken at the Midnight Madness downtown years ago. I love their Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma and the Onion Bhaji. Don't get the CG Special Naan..too rich. Just buttered naan is best for my tastes anyways. It IS a good dinner date place, but you will smell like curry afterwards... just know that in advance :) read more

Everything tasted extremely salty here. Butter chicken was sour and salty and trust me I've had butter chicken many times!! They took it back but still you can't really "fix" a salty dish unless you start from scratch. The waiter then said its mainly the tomato and yogurt that gives that taste but honestly I could not eat it. The curry could almost be a marinara sauce because of so much tomato tanginess. Even if it looked like I barely touched it they still charged us full price. Was hoping they would take it off the bill (considering its overpriced...same price for lunch AND dinner) no one else was in the restaurant. Completely empty. Hmm... Strange because I totally trusted the review here but unfortunately I will not be coming back. read more

Absolutely incredible!!! We arrived shortly before closing (about half an hour) and were greeted by a very friendly staff who were very courteous. Service was quick and very good and the food was excellent. I had the chicken biryani and my date had the chicken vindalu, medium spice. Definitely a place we'll visit again. read more

Normally my review of Indian food would centre around the balance of flavours in my curry and how spicy they were willing to make my vindaloo. However, one dish was so incredibly and unexpectedly delicious it has muddled all memory of other dishes consumed: the VEGETABLE TIKKA appetizer! $17 might seem a little much for a starter, but this dish really IS much more than a starter. The sizzling platter of lightly sauced, well spiced seared peppers, onions and paneer is of fairly massive proportions; if eaten as an app rather than a main it should be shared among the whole table. I am typically more of a rich and saucy kind of girl and this type of BBQ style food is not my thing-- but this is absolutely one of the best things I have ever eaten. So many incredible flavours meet in this simple dish. The mild tang of the cheese, the rich char and spiced sauce, and the sweet flavours of the onions (slightly caramalized from the heat) and juicy peppers combine to create an absolutely perfect dish. Sum up: Restaurant is beautiful. Service is friendly. Prices are high, but the food is very, very good and the portions are large. I'd give it 5 stars if the prices were cheaper or I was richer. *Note: this review is based on an experience around 6 months ago. read more

This Indian restaurant is outstanding. Authentic cuisine with real Indian spice (heat) when requested. Staff are friendly and making excellent recommendations to please your night out. The decor is traditional with pleasant India music playing softly. The food is to die for. I enjoyed the Lamb Boonah (sorry for my spelling) and Tandoori Chicken. What a feast, can feed two easily. read more

Coriander Green - Palak paneer lunch portion. - Indian Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

I haven't actually been inside of Coriander Green, but I have eaten food from here twice. The first time was from their stand at Midnight Madness in Downtown Oakville, and their butter chicken was SO good, my Husband and I wanted to have it again. So we ordered take-out - two butter chickens with rice. It was a bit pricey - $40.00 - but you get what you pay for at this restaurant. Their butter chicken is SO delicious and has just the right amount of heat, and we got big portions that we couldn't even finish, so got to have as leftovers the next day. I definitely want to go sit down and eat sometime. Delicious food! read more

The dish I chose was delicious. Butter chicken with garlic Naan. But the server was at first polite but then when asked if I wanted anything else she followed by a response I hope not. Could be a weird sense of humor but not going to complain about the food. Just not a welcoming place unfortunately. read more

I come here all the time. The service and food is always the same , brilliant food! authentic curry. The naan is fresh, and medium spice is not to hot. I can't recommend this place enough, would give 7 stars if I could. read more

Amazing food, great service, super comfy chairs, and the aroma is so delicious your mouth will start watering half a block away. Try the house special curry for sure! read more

I've probably had take out here 20 times over the years. The food quality is great and is consistent. Pickup time is usually 20 mins and that too is consistent. Rarely if ever have I had to wait. We love the Coriander Green Lamb Special, and their other curries. Onion bajji (sp?) dish is also excellent. I haven't ever eaten in their dining room, but the ambiance seems good. I have never seen it packed, but usually there are 5-6 tables seated when I go in. The staff seem friendly, and always greet me with a smile. Martin read more

My boyfriend and I go here any chance we get! This is our fave Indian place by far and we usually get the lamb vindaloo. They offer different levels of spice which is nice and the interior is gorgeous as well. 10/10 read more

Best tasting indian food. I had the shrimp korma and garlic naan. Wish I could eat their every night. The staff/service is wonderful!

My wife and I stumbled on this place while visiting a friend in Oakville. We had gone downtown to do a big of shopping and we're getting hungry so we decided to give it a try. Both the atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. The menu was extensive and they had some very unique, original home recipes. Hint, it relates to the name of the restaurant. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with great service. I live in Alberta, but will definitely go back. read more

In a nice location in downtown Oakville. The food was incredible. I ordered Madras chicken and my wife ordered Marsala fish. We also had samosas for an appetizer and you have to order the naan and rice separately. The quality stands out from all of the previous Indian restaurants that I visited before. However, you have to pay a pretty penny to eat there. Would definitely go there again. read more

I got take out and it was very sub-par. The vegetable dish was okay but nothing special. Basically steamed cauliflower and potatoes covered in sauce. It wasn't even a curry like I thought it was going to be, just a thin layer of sauce. The rice was plain. The coriander green naan had a spice I didn't like and was pretty soggy. I got these 3 things for $28 total. Wayyyy over priced. Very disappointing. read more

Staff is very friendly , yet , unfortunately food is seriously bad, specially vendalou shrimp , sorry but shrimp was smelly and obviously expired. read more

Ok, I have to confess I am a little of a wimp when it comes to spices so I dread going to Indian restaurants but my wife loves Indian food so now and then I brave the fire for her. Coriander Green is outstanding, not only do they serve some of the most succulent Indian food around, they can turn the heat up and down on demand without losing any of the flavours. I am really not an expert on Indian cuisine, but this is a place that I enjoy going back to and the staff is always so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. read more

I was really excited to try the food after all the great reviews. I ordered chicken curry, chicken biryani and naan. Asked it to be mild. I found the dishes to be very spicy and not flavorful. I understand people can have different definitions for mild and for me the food was super spicy. But what upset me was the server came to us on his own to ask if the food was fine and we told him that it was spicy. He offered to take the dishes back to fix them. Then suggested he will get some yogurt instead. To our surprise we were charged for the yogurt which was offered as solution to the spicy food and then we were made to pay for it. The food is not good and over priced!!!! read more

Delicious, fresh and authentic Indian food. Loved the butter chicken and especially the naan. Be warned that when you order it hot, it will be HOT for all of you spice lovers out there. I will definitely be back! read more

The butter chicken was delicious! The server was really understanding and I remember she said to my friend "are you actually sure you're going for extra spicy!?!?" I can tell the server cares. The chef came to our table once to see how's it going. I liked that moment. Naan could have less butter, but I would definitely go back! read more

Great place. Decor was nice, atmosphere was nice. Servers were great! We ordered the samosas which were delicious, butter chicken which was incredible, the Chana Masala (not the best I've tried but my bf loved it) and we had rice, naan bread, and this other whole wheat layered bread which was awesome too. My bf had 2 Indian beers. After tip and tax it was about $100, a little on the pricier side but for a nice occasion it's ok to spend the money. read more
