    Piri piri chicken and masala fries

    Wow! Just got back from Nairobi and so happy to see a Swahili restaurant in Denver! Better than nandos! The flavors, freshness and crunch to the chicken is amazing. Coming back for so much more

    Amazing food!!! Authentic and great customer service will come back when visiting Denver 5 star

    The chicken Brahmin is really good with the perfect amount of flavor. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Their name…read moremight be India Express but they have a lovely dining room and amazing staff that make it a great place to sit down. We came on a Thursday night around 7p, the dining room was empty - crazy. Araz took care of us and he must have refilled the water 5 times he was so top of everything! We started with chai tea, absolutely delicious. Love the creaminess and spices. They bring out come crispy chips and dipping sauces on the house. Such a light and delicious starter. I could eat the dips plain. We also got the chaat samosas. Incredible! The seasonings and textures paired so well, crunchiness of the samosas over a bed of perfectly cooked chickpeas with red onion and yogurt drizzle adding a fresh element. And they cut them to make it easier to share. I had the lamb Korma. Incredible. Just the perfect blend of spices, creaminess. Comes with rice but their garlic naan is amazing and pairs so well with it. My boyfriend had the chicken madras, also amazing. He didn't want a creamy dish and this was perfect for him. Everything was so memorable, i can't wait to come back

I looked so stupid but my server was very nice about it and consoled me out of my wobbles. First time getting together with all 7 of my siblings in a few weeks so it was a very special occasion. Our servers name was Sharmila and she was very attentive and informed of the menu. She was very kind to have endured my rowdy family and we tipped her graciously for her trouble. My brother and I arrived fashionably early while the others arrived just early. Being fashionable is a recessive gene and we can't all be winners or else there'd be no losers and what fun would that be? They started the table with these neat little fake tortilla chips. It came with 3 sauces for dipping a sweet, tangy/minty and a spicy one. The spicy one is important to try because that's about the level of spice of their hottest dishes. For apps we got the cauliflower, the texture was nice and fluffy, the flavor was tangy without being too aggressive. An app is supposed to ease you in! SOMEPLACES HAVE THE AUDACITY TO CREATE APPETIZERS THAT SUCK YOUR SOUL OUT! Sorry for raising my voice... ahem... this place is thankfully not one of them. We also got the cucumber salad which was really good but it's cucumbers, you love em or you hate em. Moving on. Next was the onion rings. In my head they were gonna be like Indian onion rings but they were just like normal rings but ig since they had Indian dipping sauces that counts? They get by on a technicality. I DONT MAKE THE RULES AND IM TIRED OF YOU GETTING MAD AT ME FOR THEM! Excuse me I'm not sure where that came from... Ok "few" that was a lot! For me main entree I got me some baryani with chx. I got the medium spiciness because the hot sauce at the start was too much for me, call me a knave but my sibs said I'm a prince, WHAT ARE YOU AN HEIR TOO?! Didn't think so. Sorry for yelling, your tone is just bothering me. Anyway my food was good. I could hardly finish it and I don't want to hear it. THE PORTIONS WERE SO BIG FOR THE PRICE! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!?! Ok signing off, I can't with your attitude and I take back my apology from earlier. If you even care to make it up to me go visit this amazing restaurant and Sharmila a 50% tip.

The ambiance felt like 90's indian restaurant We ordered lasooni Gobi (amazing),kurkuri bhindi, Samosa chat for appitizers and it was delicious. For the main course, we ordered achari aloo, katahal (jackfruit) fry, and baigan bharta all three were delicious. The naan was super soft. The pulav for kids was great too. We ended our meal with gulab jamun -there are 3 in one order and our server gave us 4 since there were four of them on the table. He saved us from fighting over gulab jamun. We even ordered a shikanji drink and that was refreshing. Would eat her every day if this place moves opens a restaurant in Hudson valley.

I got mild for most of the items, one dish was spicy and I could feel the spice building up. I enjoyed the date naan as it was sweet but my friends didn't notice too much of the date flavor shining through. I liked the date and butter taste for myself though- it was good to eat it with the savory dishes. - Butter meatball chicken was done so well. Not dry at all! - momos - very tasty and the veggies and sweet sauce were a nice addition - garlic cauliflower- omg how did they get a crisp on it without having a lot of batter? It was so good! - never fried chicken wings - this was moist and the Mango sauce we picked was very tasty. Definitely will be back to try more!

They have very soothing spa music playing (a little odd, but also charming). You can see that the owners probably did their own repairs and upgrades. We ordered cocktails and saw that they used top shelf alcohol. The food was very flavorful. Not the Indian flavors that I'm used to, but delicious. The tandoori chicken pieces were massive and they did not skimp on the sides of rice like other Indian restaurants. The garlic naan was paper thin like a roti and infused with so much garlic! Our server was very sweet and attentive. She carefully made both our cocktails and when we complimented her, she was humbled and honored. If you're in the Denver area, please drop by this restaurant.

    We stopped in to try a mix of their Indian and Nepalese specialties, and it was a total win. The…read moremost impressive part was that every single dish had a distinct, bold flavor profile--nothing felt like it was coming from the same generic base sauce. * Chicken Momo: These were the star of the show. * Chilli Chicken: A fantastic take on Indo-Chinese fusion. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender inside, tossed in a savory, spicy sauce with plenty of fresh peppers and onions. It had a great "zing" without being overwhelmingly salty. * Saag Paneer: This was comfort food at its best. The spinach was creamy and vibrant, flavored just perfect. The Verdict: If you're looking for a place that respects the unique spices of both regions, this is it. The kitchen clearly takes pride in the details. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. The place was clean with warm, dim lighting that makes it feel intimate enough for a date but relaxed enough for a casual weeknight dinner. I will be back again to try more.

I first stumbled upon Coriander about a year ago. It is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever come across. The Chicken Tikka Masala is very good and flavorful, but the lamb masala and lamb curry are crazy good. Then there is the garlic naan... IT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Light, buttery, crispy, thin but still somehow fluffy AND chewy. Their food is so good that I asked to eat inside instead of taking my to go order. Even though it was Sunday afternoon on Mother's Day they were extremely accommodating. The interior is great; solid playlist, nice atmosphere. If there is any takeaway from my review it's that you should stop looking and try them out ASAP. I may start to plan my trips around them, out of 75-100 Indian restaurants so far this is probably #1

The service was okay. It met our minimum expectation. But, the worst part of our experience was being automatically charged a "Large Party" charge of 20%. We had a party of 4 adults and a 3-yr old. Most restaurants charge a "Large Party" charge when the party is 6 people or more. The tipping culture has gotten so out-of-hand now. People who "just do their" job are wanting/expecting 20% or more tip??? Because of this, we're not returning to Coriander.
