About

Coriander's serves traditional North Indian cuisine with an extensive vegan menu that features dishes using soya chunks as a protein substitute. The venue is casual with outdoor seating, and vegan diners frequently praise its variety of flavorful curries and generous portion sizes. Many reviewers highlight attentive staff and note that the dishes tend to be spicier than other local Indian restaurants, with clear vegan labeling on the menu—though naan and some breads contain dairy.
