We stumbled upon this small restaurant, easily overlooked compared to the larger and mansion-like…read moreChinese restaurants nearby, when we stayed in Southampton (of the Titanic fame) in a B&B right around the corner. Right in the heart of the city, surrounded by Oxfam stores and Ladbrokes and gelato shops, this fast food provided the BEST Chinese and Malaysian food during our trip to UK. I would even give the food a grade higher than the Malaysian restaurants in Philadelphia or NJ. The char kuew tiauw is authentic it almost transported me back to Asia. The fried rice is perhaps just slightly above average, but I gave them high marks since they use less oil and salt (as requested). The rendang meat as part of the nasi lemak has the appropriate marinated level of curry around it. The store closed late and opened early on Sunday, which was a blessing since we want to get one more dish for the road before heading down toward Brighton that weekend. The portions are generous, the service was prompt and friendly, and price is unbelievably low for any restaurant in England. If you happen to travel to Southampton and want a sure bet away from the usual British fare, this will surely be my recommendation.

Pretty yummy place. We ordered six random dish choices for…read moreour table and 5 of them were very good. One that was not good in my opinion was the butter chicken , I've had many better butter chickens before, this one was to blah, but the rest was on spot yumz! :) Super nice Polish lady at the bar.

Still my favorite Indian restaurant in Southampton and great overall. I've been a few times, as…read morewell as some of the other good places here (and in other British cities). Overall, Indian cuisine in the UK is much better than the US and Coriander is a great example of it done well. My most recent meal started with a unique appetizer, chicken tikka wrapped around minced lamb. The flavors worked great together and it was much more interesting than your typical Tandoori. I then had the lamb shank as a main and it was also fantastic, fall off the bone tender, lots of flavor and the right amount of spice. While there was a slight delay getting me to my table (and I was getting frustrated), once seated excellent service.

Good Indian restaurant in the heart of Southampton but not as great as some of their incredible…read morecompetitors. I found the Duck Tikka tandoori mediocre, it had pieces of bone/grizzle and overall not very exciting. My main, the Calcutta Monkfish was much better. Large pieces of monkfish in a flavorful sauce. I also found the piratha nice. Overall a good meal but not memorable.

It's enough to feed two adults: two papadums with condiments (mango chutney, a creamy one, and their onion/coriander/tomato mix); two starters (we got a samosa and two onion bhajis); two (slightly reduced portion) entrées (we got Option 1 - of 2 - with chicken korma and lamb bhuna); one (slightly reduced portion of) pilau rice and one (slightly reduced portion of) bombay potatoes. (no naan bread but the papadums fulfil the carb quotient handily) We tried it last night as a takeaway, though - on a very infrequent basis - we usually eat-in or do à la carte takeaway from the menu. They're not expensive in relative terms w/r to the local 'curry house' competition, but none of them is cheap. We'll now be enjoying their excellent comestibles far more frequently!

Had no starters, but the chicken tikka dansak and lamb tikka pathia were cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice in each.
