The Coco Tree in Cheshire West and Chester

We had a brilliant meal here, everything was cooked to perfection and you could tell it was all fresh ingredients, we both really enjoyed our curries. The peshwari naan was genuinely the best I’ve ever tasted! Service was friendly and efficient too. We’d definitely come back if we are ever back in Chester.

The menu is not your usual 'Indian'. Some interesting items Food was decent: tasty and mostly not too hot. Quite pricey It was busy when we visited : hugely popular. Poor customer management esp re access to tables. Had they over-booked? Would happily return

Authentic and tasty. Very reasonable prices nice service. Clean and tidy. Impressed. Not many authentic indian/ South Indians left out there now!!

Lovely decor and lovely staff. We had starters of popadoms, onion barges and lamb kebab, all really nice. Mains of chicken, chicken tikka with a curry sauce and two lamb dishes again with a sauce, unfortunately my lamb was inedible, really overcooked and fatty. The sauce was more like gravy. I sent it back and the staff were very apologetic. I had a starter of chicken tikka to replace it which was nice. Shame about the lamb because it has made me not want to go again.

Proberbly the best indian meal we have ever had, opted for the karnataka king prawn curry, superb. The staff were top notch and couldnt do enough for us, just wished i could remember our waiter young lad with glasses 👌 Starters were really good, rices were all fresh, and the garlic kerala parotta were amazing and fresh, the whole night was fantastic, Nice clean modern restaurnt

I’ve eating there twice now whilst staying next door in the Premier Inn. The food has been consistently great and I would highly recommend.

We went here after a day at the races. From the outside it looks a bit like a 1960s shopping centre but don’t let that put you off. Inside, a popular restaurant with plenty of customers testament to an authentic dining experience. We thought we knew curry but we found some dishes new to us and all was high quality. Next time we visit we will take no chances on getting a table and will book ahead.

We first came in 2012 and made a repeat visit. Still excellent value and quaility. We had dosa again. Staff couldn't be more helpful. 10 years older, we now look at accesibility as well. Ground level and ramp outside. Taxi picked us up right outside so no problems there.

It was recommended by a friend that it was the best Indian restaurant in Cheshire, last night I placed an order for a takeaway for 2, I arrived about 10 min late only to be waiting another 20 min, not a good start. Got home I was literally shaking of hunger only to be disappointed, It’s the worst Indian I’ve ever tasted a total waste of £60,

I visited this place after a lot of debate and reading through the menus I had a gut feeling that the food would be good being a indian and also a restaurateur I am a bit choosy but I would give myself a pat for finding a gem .They are good and have stuck to the basics of South Indian food cuisine without complicating the flavour s we ordered chettinand lamb,Malabar lamb,Andhra kodi masala that is chicken and veg pulav would give 5 stars for the supreme quality Also a special mention to Ghirish for his polite and friendly hospitality and a special mention of the Cheshire farm ice cream

Fabulous food along with exceptional service and the most important ingredient happy smiling staff making our experience with this restaurant 5 star. Thank you.

This restaurant never fails with the quality of service and food. If it's not on the menu, just ask and they will accommodate you.

I only went here because the place I had planned to go to was closed. I had no idea what to expect. Wow! What a lovely surprise. I eat at a lot of Indian restaurants but sadly, they mostly all serve the same selection of dishes. Not here, though. I was in Chester for two nights and ended up eating here both times. Each night I had something different and each course was something new to me. I didn't have anything I would not be happy to order again. Great selection of meat, fish, veggie and vegan food so really something for everybody. I wouldn't have minded it not being so harshly lit to be honest but what does that matter when the food is so good? The staff were great, helpful and knowledgable. To be honest, if you like Indian food and you are in Chester then I can't really recommend this place highly enough. Oh, by the way they sometimes spell it with a C and sometimes with a K. They are both the same place.

We had a great meal here, the food was amazing! Friendly service and they are happy to recommend and advise about dishes. They have good sized portions so it's great value for money. I would recommend this restaurant.

I had an absolutely brilliant dining experience at Koconut Grove Indian! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The meal itself was a true culinary delight. Every dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I especially loved the...

The staff and restaurant are lovely but you go to a restaurant for the food... and this tasted straight out the supermarket! Was my chicken tikka masala just Sharwood's?!? Onion bhajis were bland and soggy. And the mint dip... not much minty about it. Very...

Amazing! Authentic Southern Indian food, delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful. First visit for our friends who said it was the best Indian food they’ve ever had.

Ten of us for dinner and the food and drinks were served professionally and promptly!! Can’t fault anything - the Dosas are brilliant and the staff friendly and respectful!!! A huge shout out to the front of house and the kitchen staff!!!!!

Really tasty curry in comfortable surroundings. Attentive service. Food arrived in perfect timing from starter to main & main to desert. Not the cheapest meal, but beautifully prepared & cooked. We all really enjoyed our meals.

This was a lovely restaurant and the food had that authentic South Indian taste. Me and my family are Malayalee so it was a nice surprise to go to a restaurant and taste such authentic food. Staff were very friendly and attentive. They were so...

Really delicious South Indian food. The dosas were amazing. Service was very friendly but quite slow, but this didn't detract from a lovely meal. I would definitely return.

Had a wonderful meal here. Very tasty and very reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly. If you like South Indian cuisine, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Had a delicious meal in which we were were all able to try slightly different dishes than usual. Staff very welcoming and clearly knowledgeable on gluten free requirements. Fresh, modern decor.

Another visit to this lovely restaurant. Friendly service and amazing food. So much to chose from and so different from your usual Indian restaurant. Every time we come to chester we say we will try somewhere different and yet each time we come to chester...

Never been here before and wish I’d visited years ago. Food and service excellent. Good selection of South Indian dishes.

Really good, great meal, great service, great wine, good price. It's a nice place and we loved it. It was a busy race day and the online booking was quick and simple and service was efficient and pleasant.

We had such high expectations as this was a return visit after a great experience. The service was slow with limited understanding of our order. This may have been why the food lacked taste? We had to wait for a table even though we booked...

The food was as always excellent. The pepper and onion starter is different and the taste wonderful, the paneer starter, a super take on an old favourite. The service was excellent, the ambiance excellent. We will certainly, God willing, return

We ate here whilst staying locally. The food was really fresh and lovely. There was a wide selection of food and drinks available and the staff were really friendly too.

Our visit this time was disappointing they were busy only 3 staff on. We waited a long time between courses had to ask twice for our food. The food was bland not the same as our previous visit. Such a shame.

Best Indian we have had for a while and the service was brilliant and very attentive too. Really enjoyed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and will definitely return.

Friends were regulars here and this was where they chose to take us. We were not disappointed, food was lovely and will definitely be returning.

Best Indian in Chester, superb varied menu with many dishes not on most menus. All meals can be made hotter or milder to suit individuals taste. All staff very polite helpful and friendly. Very good knowledge of any allergens in the dishes. We all had...

It clear from the start the restaurant has been refurbished which had been embraced by the staff. The service and food was excellent.we recommend you speak to the staff and have your food cooked to your specific requirement, it was amazing. Great gem of chester...

I have rated it so as I have a sneaky suspicion that the food I order was previously frozen and heated - evidence based on clear liquid in plate and the taste being very bland although it said it was full of fresh herbs and...

Fantastic South Indian food, a world away from the usual, oil-heavy UK Indian restaurant offerings. Spoilt for choice for new things to try. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. We were just visiting, but will make a point of staying in Chester again, just so that...

Visiting Chester for a few days and fancied something spicy. Love Indian food and this restaurant has a huge choice from standard Indian Restaurant fare to more authentic Keralan dishes, which is what drew us in. Chose a mix of dishes we've had before and...

First visit to a Souther Indian restaurant and meal choices and dishes very different from usual Indian fare. Staff very engaging and willingly explained dishes and spices. We had Biryani’s which was amazing but next time will be a little more adventurous. Really good value...

We were really looking forward to this. My wife is vegetarian and was wowed by the huge number of choices. Firstly the restaurant was cold. Keep your coat on cold. Our waiter was very unattentive. We'd been there over half an hour and hadn't even...

As you walk through the door until you leave it’s a really good restaurant. When we walked in we had a professional welcome with a pleasant greeting and interest in what we would like. We asked if we could eat in and leave in 1...

We have been going regularly to the Kokonut Grove for many years now and have never had a disappointing meal. The menu has the traditional British/Indian dishes but far more interesting choices from Kerala, with the menu changeing now and then to incorporate new dishes....

Absolutely disgraceful. Waited nearly 2 hours for food [no exaggeration] for it to then turn up cold and tasteless] after they had served other people who turned up much later than us. There is more flavour in my socks ! Very very disappointed. Visited here...

Whenever we visit Chester this is the first restaurant we book. The food and service is first class. Always a pleasure to visit

Visited with friends that had booked for us. I wasn’t disappointed, the food was lovely. Service was good and definitely need to visit again.

We booked a table for 12 (including two toddlers) and had pre ordered the 4 course meal for £26.95 (not including drinks or food for the children) the service was swift, staff friendly, efficient and very accommodating of the two little guests who I’m afraid...

Absolutely stunning food. Best Indian food I've eaten in the UK. Authentic Indian cuisine. Particularly recommend the masala dosa and sambal.

Popped in here on the off chance and we were lucky enough to get a table even though it was a Wednesday night. The food was lovely and the staff were very attentive, despite rushing around with the number of people in. We went for...

The food was the best ever. Staff very friendly and the service was excellent. The restaurant was spotlessly clean evert where. Will visit again.

Used Koconut Grove as it was conviently next to out hotel in Chester. Very pleased with both service and quaility of food which is predominantly Southern Indian based. It was always quite busy every time we walked by but we got a table easily enough...

As the the title suggest, Southern Indian food at its finest. We have something similar at home but this is on another level. Dosa’s, breads, mains and sides were all amazing. Surely the best of its kind in Chester.

We went there on Saturday night, to start with it looked under staffed, once we were seated it then took a while to get drinks, the starters came and bhajis were fine and so were the poppadoms, however the mains were limited in choice, as...

Are here last night with my partner. Lovely food served by friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely eat here again.

Been here many times and was always very good. Went last night and the food was very average, the service the same. I’m not sure but it may have new ownership

Lovely place and clean. Staff are Attentive and friendly. Food is out of this world a taste of Kerala.

Without a shadow of a doubt the best dish I’ve had outside of Kerala. Layers of fragrant tastes. I’d move in, if I thought I could!

We've been to quite a few Indian restaurants in the past, so standing out can be tough, but this place did exactly that. We were pleasantly surprised by the authentic dishes on offer that we hadn't tried before but were so glad we did (the...

My second visit to the South Indian Sunday buffet. It is not a typical Indian buffet with less choice than most but quality is excellent. I couldnt fault it. Food was very tasty with popadoms, a choice of 4 starters and three curries. Plenty of...

We visit often as the food is always consistent ,flavoursome and beautiful presented also excellent service . Adjish is a great host as is his team. Looking forward to our next visit .

Went with my wife for her birthday Had a Lovely meal here .Great Food .The starters were really Good ,curry-all was excellent too. Service was good Staff were friendly and the indoor dining are is comfortable . Overall it hit the spot and would be...

Another amazing meal in this lovely restaurant. Service was good. Food always fabulous. Dont understand some of the previous negative reviews by other customers. You can always tell its a good Indian restaurant when you see other Indian diners there enjoying the cuisine..brilliant meal!! See...

The food just wasn't very good, it was tasteless which is a pretty rare criticism for Indian food. The place is just horribly over rated hence the very bad review so others don't fall into the same trap.

Most bland Indian meal I have ever had. Started with poppadoms accompanied by inadequate amount of dips, including a mint raita that had so little mint it was basically yoghurt. The main had even less flavour and stringy, overcooked meat, in a sauce that was...

The customer service was great, very polite and cheerful. The food on the other hand was not so great, the curry tasted like a cheap microwave meal from a supermarket. I had a chicken korma, it was green and very watery. The chips and rice...

Visited after a recommendation. Service was awful, the main reason for the 3⭐ review. They weren't busy at all to begin with and the service was slow and a rice dish didn't arrive until prompted. The selection of Curries was very authentic. Plenty to choose...

Superb as always!! Absolutely spotlessly clean restaurant, fantastic food, ambience and attentive staff. Never EVER have we been disappointed here ! Great value for money too, we are a couple,both had 4 courses, 2 cokes, two ciders and a double liquor coffee and still change...

Restaurant was clean and modern and staff very attentive, We didn't care for the food though, lacked in taste and spice for us, very bland. Onion bhaji's very greasy. We do eat in Indian restaurants all the time. It must appeal to some peoples taste...

4 of us had dinner here whilst on a visit to Chester. It was a real treat indeed! Great service, fantastic range of choice and quality of South Indian food, generous portions and a well-paced service. As the well-known guide book says, ‘would it be...

Excellently prepared southern Indian cuisine and wonderful service, all in a very tastefully decorated restaurant.

This is our second visit to Koconut Grove, it will not be our last. The food is superb, the red pepper starter is absolutely superb, as are the vegetable samosas. The main course were excellent. The service first-class. Thanks

we came up from the south coast for long weekend and decided to try this place . Wonderful food great service .

Back in Chester and could not resist a revisit to this super Indian restaurant. Our party of six enjoyed every dish. The starters, breads, mains and desserts were lovely and enjoyed by all.

Brilliant service but what marked the evening was the friendly atmosphere. Service was highly professional and slick. The food was first rate and plentiful.

This restaurant was very busy when we first turned up so the staff booked us in within half an hour. When we turned up, we were really hungry so the manager quickly gave us some poppadoms while we perused the menu. Food was flavoursome, service...

Booked in while on holiday in Chester. Quite busy at 7pm which we thought was a good indication of the quality of the establishment. Ordered a nice jug of lasse, then we waited a while for the starters, I had Aloo Bonda to start, which...

This restaurant didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent and tasty. Staff all pleasant and helpful. Price was good. If in Chester again would definitely visit

Tasteless meal sadly. Really wanted a meal with some spice but it was very bland and disappointing. Lovely staff and restaurant just dissapointed with the food.

This excellent restaurant was quite a walk from our hotel but well worth it. South Indian is one of our favourite types of food and I’m not sure it can be done better than this place. It was quiet when we arrived on a Thursday...

Booked here for a Saturday night, arrived and were seated promptly, staff were really friendly and attentive. Food was amazing and different to your usual indian, I had the Pudina Lamb which was lovely. The restaurant was very clean and modern, would not hesitate to...

This was the last restaurant we went to before the big lockdown and we were determined to give it another visit, so 2 years later we were back with friends. The Koconut Grove is well lit, clean and fresh with comfortable seating. I don't care...

Amazing, probably the best Indian food I have had in a long time. Service was amazing, food was amazing. Can’t recommend enough

A non planned visit as it was our first visit to Chester. I’m quite a fussy eater, but I honestly have zero complaints here. We turned up 50mins before they were closing and they were happy to accommodate. Service was exceptional, the quality of food...

We have been eating "Indian" food all over the country for over 50 years but this was a new experience for us. Most "Indian" cuisine in England appears to be from Pakistan or Bangladesh. The menu at Koconut Grove was completely unfamilliar to us. Nothing...

We visit the Kokonut Grove every time we are in Chester and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble. Both the food and service are excellent.

Having selected three courses prior to Christmas Day, we ended up with a doggy bag! The atmosphere was extremely pleasant as usual and, as ever, the food and service was excellent. Basically, £40 each on Christmas Day was great value for money. In fact, a...

Not the best I’m afraid . The starters were not hot in the Sunday buffet. The lamb koftas were only warm Om afraid

Another great meal at this lively restaurant. Staff are great, prices are reasonable, food is genuine South Indian cuisine

We had a chilli paneer starter which was overcooked and onion Bhaji which quite stodgy. We had a lamb mains and vegetarian curry these were not very inspiring either. Whatever the food the people on the next table had looked really good, so maybe we...

After reading all the positive reviews and being a big fan of Indian cooking, we decided to give this place a try but unfortunately we left feeling very disappointed. The service was slow, the menu wasn’t great and the food was quite bland as other...

Excellent tasty food in an extremely clean and comfortable restaurant. Wide range of different dishes made with very high quality ingredients. Staff are very friendly and polite. Great care was shown with the social distancing for customers. Value for money was superb. Would highly recommend...

We had been here before a few years ago but this was out first oppotunity to try the Sunday Buffet. Really glad we did as there was a great slection of food and it had that authentic South Indian food flavour. The staff were delighed...

Highly recommend Me and my wife have eaten here for years and have not once been disappointed the food is spot on and the staff are even better

We eat here every time we visit Chester. The south Indian menu is fab. Love the Masala Dosa. Perfect. Lovely clean and open restaurant with attentive, professional, and friendly staff Recommended.

Visited alone & was welcomed warmly. Food & service excellent. It's best to book as very popular. Though I didn't but was a single sitting at 6.30pm on a Wednesday but it was filling up fast. I was not rushed at all and had a...

We had wanted to try this restaurant out for some time and we managed to get a table on Saturday night. A birthday celebration. The staff, service and the amazing menu was outstanding. The food was so delicious, all of us had ordered different main...

We missed the Sunday buffet during lockdown but were really pleased when it was re-started again ! All safety precautions taken by management including providing gloves to use. Buffet quality is superb - there is so much variety and everything freshly cooked and extremely delicious....

My husband and I came here for dinner for our first anniversary and we absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and tasted fresh and authentic. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t have been nicer - They even gave us a complimentary piece of...

The food was amazing, so flavourful, portions were massive, taste sensation, the service was impressive, super friendly, so attentive, customer service was faultless. I will definately be coming back here again thankyou very much indeed. Onsite free private parking was a plus very convenient this...

What a place! From the warm welcome through to excellent food we had a super meal here. A lovely setting and the staff were friendly and helpful. We tried dishes for mains and dessert that we had never had before and they were absolutely delicious!...

Very dissatisfied. Waited approximately half hour for the starters to be brought out to us. I ordered onion bhajis which didn’t resemble what I would class as an onion bhaji, more like Chinese sweet and sour balls. Very stodgy with very little onion. My husband...

Booked a table for 4 people saturday night 11th September, what a fabulous experience! Staff extremely polite and helpful. The food is very very tasty, freshly cooked, well presented and good portion sizes. The place is spotless. Would definitely recommend this place as standards just...
