Reviews For The Coriander Club

I stumbled upon this incredible restaurant in Reading, and it instantly became a must-visit in my books. From the moment I walked in, the warm, friendly service made me feel right at home. The atmosphere was absolutely enchanting – it transported me straight to the heart of Punjab filled with vibrant energy and charm. But the real star? The food! Every bite was a burst of flavour – rich, aromatic, and utterly irresistible. Their Mali Kulfi was the ultimate showstopper: luxuriously creamy and the perfect end to an extraordinary meal. Highly, highly recommended – this place is a feast for all the senses!

The Coriander Club is by far the best in its category in Reading! The menu is extensive and interesting, the food is spectacular, the service is great and the hosts and staff are attentive and informative. I would eat their Butter Chicken every day if it were up to me! Divine.

We recently celebrated my wife's birthday at The Coriander Club, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the inviting ambiance that perfectly set the tone for our special occasion. The food was nothing short of amazing! Each dish we tried, including the chilly paneer, tikki with chole, chicken malai tikka, dal makhani, shahi paneer kofta, and garlic naan, was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a delightful experience for the entire family. A special shoutout to Chef ABDUL for his incredible culinary skills and passion for creating such delicious dishes! Additionally, a heartfelt thanks to the staff member who offered us a complimentary dessert as a sweet gesture. It truly made the celebration even more special. I highly recommend The Coriander Club for anyone looking to enjoy remarkable food, a wonderful ambiance, and outstanding service. We can't wait to return!

The Coriander Club - just loved the name. Ambience was good and food was awesome. Small dining room. Friendly staff & decent ambience. They have a few parking spaces as well. Must try, highly recommended.

My partner and I live nearby and have visited the Coriander Club several times since it first opened its doors. The staff are lovely and incredibly welcoming and friendly. But the food is where they really stand out. With every visit, the food just keeps getting better and better, whether that's the street food or the curry dishes, all of it tastes incredible. They are also very accommodating when we have taken our baby in with us and with relatives who are on the pickier side. Would recommend to everyone.

I travel up and down the country for work, I really enjoy Indian food and try at least 2 a week. This new up and coming restaurant is the best quality and most authentic I've tried in years. Sensibly priced considering the quality of the ingredients. The indo Asian chilli chicken for starters was the perfect blend of hot, sweet, and sour. The lamb in the coriander special is top quality cooked to perfection and loaded with flavour. Fluffy rice and friendly service give this place a special touch. A small menu that works. Will definitely revisit.

I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback after tasting the food at your stall during Holi in Theale. The experience was truly amazing! The flavors were vibrant, and each dish was prepared to perfection. I was so impressed that I followed your restaurant’s Instagram page and discovered that you are organizing a charity food event today, April 13th, for Vaisakhi. My friend and I decided to attend, and we were thrilled with the delicious offerings. The authentic Indian dishes like chana, dal makhani, pulao, garlic and plain naan, raita, salad, and fruit custard were exceptional. The potato and cauliflower vegetable was also a highlight. Additionally, we enjoyed the cocktails, particularly the Chocolate Martini, and the mocktail, Mixed Berries Mojito, which were both fantastic! It was heartwarming to see that the food was free for everyone in celebration of Vaisakhi. We highly recommend Coriander Club to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
