The Coriander in Enfield

This is a really good restaurant. Delicious food, lovely staff. They are so friendly and very attentive. It is now busier than ever, so do book a table (we were there on a Saturday evening) to avoid disappointment. We saw a few being sent away as the restaurant was packed. It's excellent.

We enjoy their food and service this place become our regular curry place. Nice food friendly atmosphere. We recommend this restaurant for good service and food.

After a long shutdown, this restaurant has just a few weeks ago re-opened. The new decor is stylish, high quality and is traditional Indian, immediately creating a welcome and friendly atmosphere. The staff make you feel that we are their guests and that they want to make the visit memorable The menu is wide ranging, the staff most helpful to ensure a correct choice to suit every taste and to meet any special requirements We have been there twice now since re-opening and will certainly return soon

Got take away first visit the food was exceptional moist plentiful and cooked to perfection staff were absolutely lovely had a drink while we waited will definitely visit again very soon

🇬🇧 This restaurant offers excellent value for money (dishes between £8 and £12 with generous quantities). The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is similar to that of a Michelin-starred restaurant. There's a very warm welcome, so go there with your eyes closed! 🇫🇷 Ce restaurant offre un excellent rapport qualité prix (plats entre 8 et 12£ avec quantités généreuses). La nourriture est absolument délicieuse, le service est similaire à un restaurant étoilé. Il y a très bon accueil, allez y les yeux fermés !

The newly refurbished restaurant looks and feels modern and welcoming. The food is always good and the staff are courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant Ricky

Newly refurbished glad to see restaurant reopened ,food was really tasty, service was good and atmosphere friendly and love the new decor

The restaurant looks amazing, the food and service was 10/10. We highly recommend the Kashmiri butter chicken, Maharaja lamb and Aubergine and peas.

We booked a table for two a week in advance. Arrived on a few months early. We were given a table at fhe back of the restaurant which like being in a cupboard up against a wall. The floor was uneven and so the chairs were wobbling. It was uncomfortable. We requested to move to another table. They refused and alleged they were fully booked. They also alleged we arrived late which was untrue. They were unaccommodating, dismissive and pretty rude. No idea of customer service. L. There were many empty tables. Albeit tables of 4. We decided to leave. Won't be returning there again. Terrible experience.

Newly refurbished. We were glad to see them back open. It’s not what it was though. They were rushed off their feet with being newly opened and an offer on eat in and takeaways. Lots of delays with orders. Food was ok. Portions not as big as before, but prices have gone up. Nice to see one of the regulars still working there. The rest of the staff need to smile more and be more proactive. We gave a tip with our payment. Our server didn’t acknowledge it or say thank you to us. We are not used to this service. Fingers crossed it improves or please bring back the usual coriander staff. They were brilliant.

The Coriander in Oakwood has just had a refurb which is looking very good. We ordered a takeaway a few days after reopening . It was a busy Saturday and the place was booked solid no doubt attracted by their opening discount offers but they still managed to provide our large order nearly on time with tasty delicious food as we remembered

Excellent food. Melt in your mouth lamb. All cooked fresh. Very friendly. A must must try. Have taken many friends and colleagues. Excellent value for money.

We had a family meal in December. Delicious food. The staff are absolutely brilliant. Friendly, attentive and courteous. We highly recommend The Coriander. 10 out of 10. You won’t go wrong.

Excellent food. Always delicious. Staff are brilliant. Highly recommend The Coriander. You won’t go wrong.

Friendly welcome but the place was freezing cold and we had to move table to somewhere slightly warmer. Food took a while to arrive even though the place was only half full. Food was OK but under seasoned and under spiced. lamb was tough. Handwritten bill - and they couldn't add up!!!

We always enjoy eating in the Coriander or getting a takeaway. Food always great. The service is excellent. Very friendly staff.

We received a warm welcome when we arrived and we were seated promptly. The service was a bit slow and the food was adequate, and by that I mean not good, not bad, actually just a bit bland for my taste. Sad to say that I’ve had better meals there

First time at this restaurant and it was a really lovely evening. The service was good, very friendly and attentive. The food was so tasty and there were lots of choices for vegetarians, fish eaters and meat dishes. I will be returning soon Lovely and clean and well presented Thank you

I have visited in this restaurant with my family. Food taste and quality is really good. The staff is polite and helpful. The service is quick. The quantity or portion size can be better. If you are looking for a proper Indian 🇮🇳 style food then I would totally recommend this one.

Great food and great service, felt truly at home with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff treated everyone with respect and kindness and would definitely come back again.

Absolutely disgusting! Did not even turn up for a delivery and no phone call to let us know. Avoid, avoid, avoid! They do not deserve your business

Not to be rude but the food tasted like a microwave meal staff wernt freindly forks an all cutlery wernt washed propaly been eating curry since young an would defenetly not recomend this place

We visited this hidden gem on Monday and will defintely be back for our next indian fix. It hit all the spots with flavor and definately non greasy! We are local and have been to quite a few restaurants and I have to honestly say that the food was really lovely and probably one of the best in the area. The starters were delicious. I would definately recommend the onion bhaji, mixed grill and the prawn puri. The garlic naan was lovely and fluffy. The curries were just the right spice for a madras as. The menu is really diverse with different varieties then the usual norm which is a great thing and hubby found a new favourite dish. The restuarant have signed up to the 'Help to eat out scheme' although they are under a different name on the govt website but to be fair I would have been happy to pay full price and will definately back. We went in the early evening- so parking was free and they also had air conditioning which on a day where 32c outside. We had a lovely relaxed evening. In regards to Covid. Sanitiser was provided and social distance is in place.

Only a handful of restaurants make you feel like you’re family. First time visiting Coriander and I would definitely go back. The personal touch delivered makes it that cut above the rest. They honestly make you feel welcome, cannot do enough for for you and considering there were 15 of us food came out piping hot. Food is of an good standard, my vegetable curry was slightly plain however everything else and everyone enjoyed their food. The staff answer any menu questions and make sure you’re catered for all evening. Parking was very easy and they can cater for larger parties. We will be visiting again because they’re worth it.

Found this restaurant by accident. Usual place overbooked and recommended to go to to The Coriander. Very welcoming staff, good menu with some unusual dishes not found at the local Indian. Highly recommended

I use this place a lot, the service is quick and the food is always good. Great on a Tuesday, starter, side dish, main course and a rice or naan £11.95, you cant go wrong.

With the number of visits from myself and family reaching almost triple figures, you cannot ask for better quality food and service from an Indian restaurant, anywhere, let alone in north London

We went as a family to The Coriander for dinner. It was my first visit and I had a very enjoyable dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We will be going back again

I have recently been to a few local Indian restaurants. I must say this is the best I have visited in last few months. Starters of onion bhajis, samosas (veggie) and hara kebab were all excellent. I love an onion bhaji and these were great. Mains had chicken shaslik, vegetable dansak, and a special that was similar to a chicken tikka masala. Had with rice, chapati and naan. All was really good. Service was also really good. Will be visiting again.

Started well with mixed starters that looked and tasted fresh. Really poor main course lamb very tough and side dishes tasted odd. Raised with staff who very reluctantly made a small reduction on the bill following a lot of excuses. We felt very uncomfortable.Cobwebs on windows, dark needs a makeover not very inviting inside.Would not visit again.

Well, this was my first visit with my wife last night Tuesday 4/6/2019. We were both looking forward to the meal. I must say, I have relatives in the restaurant business so know when food and service is bad / poor.Ordered our food Tuesday 'special meal' £11.95 with starter, main, side dish and either naan or rice. When ordering, we asked our waiter what the deal included and he told us from the menu without highlighting the small print which stated extra charges on some dishes.Having tried the food which was very bland and basic. Come to pay the bill and the restaurant then adds on extra charges for dishes that had extra charges on the menu but not pointed out to us when we ordered.Also, they added another surcharge of £2.00 for 'Takeway' for our left overs. Well that just beats it by any imagination. Asked and queries this charge and was told that they charge for doggy bags!!!Well that was the end of it and will definitely not be going there again EVER. They call themselves an Indian Restaurant, far from it. They are a Bengali restaurant and the restaurant needs to be clearer in its pricing and costings. To not then have complaints after visit such as ours.Would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I went here last Tuesday evening with a friend. We had a Groupon voucher which was a great deal. We ordered onion bhajis, chicken dansak, rice and naan. Everything was delicious and the service was good. Will be returning.

6 in our party and we all enjoyed the food very much. We usually have a takeaway from here so we know the food is good. We had varying tastes amongst us from mild to hot and nobody was disappointed. Thank you the coriander 😁

Great curry at good prices. What more do ya want from your local curry house? Keep up the good work, Coriander.

My wife and I came here for a meal out on 19th Jan 2019. One of the best Indian meals we have ever had. Brilliant food, brilliant service, brilliant evening. If you like Indian cuisine, then this is worth trying. A five min walk from Oakwood Tube station on Picadilly Line

All of the food we had was absolutely beautiful. Made on the day, the paneer korai, the onion bhajis and the chicken tikka were fantastic. Lovely service, nice atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.

Odd place nice from outside but what is going on inside? Food was neither brilliant or poor. Nan bread was best I have ever had but curry was ok ish. Waiter was polite but not attentive. I would not rush back but equally would not avoid .

Thought we would try a different Indian from our local in Southgate. What a load of rubbish! Rubbish service and basic food sums this place up nicely. Korma was more like a soup and naan bread was dripping with oil whilst drinks were warm and soft drinks as flat as a pancake. Poor atmosphere and aging deco just put the icing on the curry. Don't waste your time go to another Indian restaurant. We won't be returning again, honestly supermarket sell better indian microwave meals!

Very basic restaurant in need of a make over. The waiters were a bit miserable as if they didn't want to be there. The food was very bland all the dishes tasted the same and there was a smell of mothballs about the place. Wouldn't go there again.

For a curry restaurant that decorates their plates nicely, has a different twist and flavour to your average restaurant this is definitely a good option and one to visit. The food is tasty, has a good selection on the menu to choose from, however nothing to much to choose from dessert wise, but all is fairly priced. However I do believe they use large bottled fizzy drinks and the drinks have arrived with the fizz being lost, they should use cold cans or small glass bottles kept in the fridge. The waiters are polite enough however they don't really go that extra mile to give the restaurant that little something you may feel its lacking. Overall a good restaurant and we will be returning.

Went with friends tried a different Indian restaurant,nice and spacious ,friendly welcome,good choice menu good service tasty food could have been a little warmer,food and the restaurant temperature. But generally very pleasant

It's all about the Hara kebab. No other Indian has this on their menu. We travel 30 minutes for takeaways especially for the Hara.

Had early dinner here, I was the first and only customer on Thursday.Service a little slow and ignorant/somewhat unfriendly. Chicken byrani was bland, lacking any sense of care or love during its preparation and cooking.Music (mainly US R&B) was too loud and irritating.Apart from this it was ok......the pint of Cobra and the Pappadoms.

The Chicken Was Bland And Not Much Of it ( Mainly A Very Deep Red Sauce ) , The Waiter Spilt Half The Rice And No Offer To Replace. Nothing Was Really Bad , Nothing Was Very Good.

When anyone asks me for a good curry in Enfield I always recommend The Coriander. The service is always good and friendly. The corriander sizzler is full of flavour tastes so good and fresh.

Please note this review is for a take away from here and not a sit down meal in the restaurant. We had a group of friends round for an indian take away and what a bad choice. The chicken biryani was the most tastless biryani ever. This was suppose to be a chicken one and there was only two small bits of chicken, the vegetable cueey was luke warm and again tastless. It was a big order so you would expect good srevice for such a large bill. The madras was far to mild and not great tasting, the vindaloo wasnt a vindaloo, the sagaloo was ......well....just loo. Anyway plenty of other indian restaurants in this area to choose from.

We went to the Oakwood brunch, found the tables to close together, very different to have a private conversation.The service was okwaiter rolled his eyes when we asked him to leave seeds out of rice and got the starters wrong, but quick to change.Apart from that food very good and good value for money

We go here most Sundays,we always go for the balti lamb n pillau rice. the starters are also very nice. there also a great ambiance.

I visited this restaurant one evening by myself as I looked for a quick, filling meal. I was attracted by the banquet offer and went for Chicken chat, pilau rice, chicken tikka masala, onion bhaji & pashwari naan.The food was reasonable, but not stand out! The restaurant was quiet, but that could have been down to the time I ate (close to opening time). Because of that it would be unfair to comment on the atmosphere or capability of the serving staff. I'd certainly go again, but there are more flavoursome Indians closer to Enfield Town that I have visited since.

Viande, épices, riz, Nan... tout est bon dans ce restaurant qui n'est pas cher qui plus est ! A ne manquer sous aucun prétexte si vous passez dans les parages.

This was my third visit to The Coriander at Oakwood and we did have a very enjoyable evening meal; the food, wine & general ambience of the restaurant is very good. I haven't been on a Saturday evening before and the place was very busy. The main problem was lack of staff which is in no way the fault of the waiters who did a great job but there were mistakes with our orders and drinks and a very long wait for food. I would definitely return and would hope we were just unlucky with the lack of staff.

I've eaten here in the evening a few times but decided to go to the Buffet with family last Sunday. Starters served to the table and a nice selection of mains. All very nice dishes served by friendly staff. It was such good value for money, I can't believe how empty it was, though it was very early in the afternoon. I would highly recommend for a night out with family or friends.

Dark restaurant with a rather cold atmosphere, the Sunday buffet is abysmal, not only is the curry flavorless but the chicken is like boot leather. Monday to Saturday is a lot better, but only because it is the only Indian in Oakwood.

I really like the place. Nice staff and nice food I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Food is lovely and the place is nice. Lovely place for a Sunday lunch with your family or the close ones.

I am someone who eats out a lot and I can honestly say this by far the best Indian restaurant in terms of quality of food and excellent service. Staff are always very friendly and inviting. I've entertained guests and family here and have always have had an brilliant experience 10/10

Excellent, friendly service and even better food. Great for all the family (any ages ) for any occasion. They never fail to deliver

We decided on impulse to go somewhere new to us for an Indian.In chronological order:The place was clean;We were met and seated as soon as we entered;The seating was comfortable;The background music was pleasant and not intrusive;The service was prompt, polite, efficient and friendly;The menu was comprehensive with several different styles of dish offered;The food... well the food was okay - but my other half thought it was a bit bland. In fairness, for a first visit we didn't know the menu and chose something fairly 'ordinary' from the card which was easy to compare with other places.Can't really complain - it was alright on the night and we will go back in due course.Oh, and finally, the prices were very fair for North London.

The meal, the service and the ambiance are all excellent.I make no apologies for reviewing this restaurant as a "regular," having eaten here for three years and experienced a consistently high standard of service and quality.I can compare the restaurant with most of the other Indian restaurants in Cockfosters, Southgate and Enfield, and just keep coming back to the Coriander!The seating is comfortable and there is plenty of room for privacy, but with a good buzz when the place is packed on a Friday or weekend.The management and staff are unfailingly polite, attentive and friendly, without being intrusive.The papadoms and pickles are fresh and arrive quickly, as does the wine or beer (try the reasonably priced chilled prosecco). I prefer a medium hot chicken tikka curry dish, and can recommend the Dupiaza, Jalfrezi or Rogon. A special treat is the Chicken 65 which is uniquely spiced dish I have only encountered here. The Pilau rice and Peshawari Nann bread complete a full meal, with a side or two for the larger appetites! There are many desserts or ice creams as you would expect, but I prefer to take a coffee to finish.The hot towels are provided, as are the chocolate mints with the bill, and a complimentary liqueur to follow.I have never been disappointed with my meal here, and look forward to my next visit!

We have eaten at this restaurant several times with friends, each time the food and service has been excellent. Eating at Indian Restaurants is sometimes hit and miss but at The Coriander the food is freshly cooked and is excellent, the staff are very friendly and make sure everything is OK. If this restaurant was nearer to where we live we would be eating there every week,

We've been here before, plenty of times but never had the Tuesday banquet. Incredibly good value, we were hoping the quality would be just as good... and it was. We shouldn't have been surprised. The service was excellent as always and the food was delicious. The thing that makes the Coriander stand out is the depth of flavour. Lovely meal and excellent value.

Always go here for take away or eat in, it's the best locally not just for the food but the service as well, tonight was a take away night, food was superb and service exceptional, I'd suggest letting the waiters recommend a dish, there always spot on and broadens your future choices, be back next week with friends for a sit down, see you guys then!

We were received warmly and immediately offered drinks, and given Papadoms with chutneys.We ordered drinks which came straight away and ordered food. The food when it came was fine except that 2 of the Party had salmon as a main course which while fine in quality was a little bland. When this was pointed out to the staff, they were offered 2 types of additional sauce, some additional rice and later some complimentary drinks. I hasten to add that most of the food was excellent!

I've visited The Coriander a couple times now and I must say it's definitely becoming my regular Indian! The fresh food is always served efficiently and as I am quite a fussy picker, never have I been disappointed for it not meeting my needs. They have a great wine list but what's even more appealing is the dishes that I have never seen before, that happen to be ever so tasty! On my last visit, it was a busy Saturday night but the service was good as always - fast and attentive, and still was able to have the manager pop over have a quick chat and be offered complementary drinks on the house! A little goes a long way! Definitely recommendable.

This is not our local restaurant and we pass at least 3 Indian restaurants on the way and the trip is well worth it! The food is consistently good and tasty and although we can't judge if it's authentic, it's always a pleasure to eat here. What makes The Coriander in Oakwood standout is the little details: freshness of condiments, delicious puffy Naan bread, deep flavours and genuinely friendly service. Yummy!

A party of eight of us dined here on a Saturday night. The restaurant was not over busy. Our orders were taken efficiently and our drinks were served quite quickly. Our starters took a very long time to arrive but were all served at the same time. They were very good and the menu has some dishes that I have not seen before. We then had a reasonable wait until our main course was served. Six meals arrived with accompanying sundries and vegetables. After a reasonable wait we asked about the two missing meals to be told that they were on the way. After further enquiries one of the missing meals arrived. Eventually the last one came with an explanation that it had to be cooked again as the first one had come off the skewers in the tandoori oven. The rice that was to accompany this dish had by then become cold and was changed without question reasonably quickly. All the food was very good and tasty.The final let down was teas and coffees. Six hot drinks were ordered and they arrived in dribs and drabs over at least a five minute period. One diner had asked for hot milk. His coffee was served but the milk did not arrive until the coffee had become cold. The remainder of the drinks were then served with their milk at the same time and the cold coffee was changed.We were told that the restaurant had been busy with takeaway which is what caused the delays.We were not charged for the teas or coffees.

I was presently surprised on the last visit to London to find this new restaurant in my Oakwood neighborhood, just a few blocks from the Picadilly tube station. Wonderful selection of Thai food served in a very attractive manner. Good wine list. Wait staff was very attentive. I'll visit again. I didn't realize that it's part of a chain .. but that wasn't evident during my recent visit.

Been a few times but the last experience I found there was a horrible smell in there from the waiters. Won't be going back on a hurry!!!!

Best indian in the area for every reason, service, flavour, ambience and price. I get my takeaway from here too and is always delivered on time. Their pathia puri and sag paneer are a must order.

friendly service and great food. there is a good selection in the menu. the restaurant is nicely decorated. the only comment is that the desert menu could offer more options. we are new to the area and this is going to be our curry house for good.

We were recommended to visit here after speaking to the management team of Temple in Ware, Herts. Sadly, this restaurant does not even compare. At the time of arrival we were the only twopeople in the restaurant. It took a while to bring one coke and one lemonade over. I like to try new dishes, however the waiter did not inspire me with suggestions and was quick to get back to talking to his collegue. We ordered Chicken Puri and Paneer Shashlik to start. The portions were much less than we have experienced , and the flavours just were not there. Rather than having a tandoor taste, the paneer cubes were soft and covered in a sauce. The mains arrived and I sent my rice back to be microwaved, the mushroom rice appeared quite greasy, my boyfriend had chicken tikka, again the portions were smaller than expected. During our meal a large party arrived and they were sat on the table less than 2ft from us. If they know the reservation was due, why were we sat next to them? This seem slightly thoughtless and spoilt the evening as we couldnt speak due to the noise from The adjacent table. It was clear the party were previous visitors to the restaurant, as we ended up waiting 20mins before plates were cleared, by which point we decided we would not stay for desserts or drinks. We would prefer to travel the extra distance to have been quality food and service from Ware.

This was our first visit. Different to other Indian restaurants. Good variety of dishes from mild to spicy. Excellent service. Well staffed with attentive waiters. Would definitely recommend.

We have had mixed experiences (on occasion we have had brilliant meals, sometimes not so great) but tonight really takes the poppadom.... Our curry was so hot it was completely inedible, when we called to inform them we were told we were too fussy! We won't be going back here again! What a shame, lucky there is plenty of choice on the area!

I popped in for a quick meal on my way home from work because I was starving and enjoyed a good meal there a few months ago. I was treated like a valued customer as soon as i walked through the door. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The waiter recommended and helped me understand the different dishes. I am a big eater and almost managed to clear my dishes. When I asked for the bill, I was asked in return if i would like a brandy on the house. What a lovely touch.

I highly recommend this restaurant as the food is always delicious. There are a lot of restaurants in our local area and this is a very good one. Service is good, prices reasonable and an interesting menu.

We normally get our Indian takeaway from Corriander. We've taken to ordering online too. I can't remember having a sit down there. It's really big inside.We always get generous portions and really enjoy it. The staff are friendly and polite.Just what you need from a local takeaway to be honest.

My colleague and I were in the area on business and decided to eat at The Coriander. What a find. The restaurant has been beautifully furnished in muted browns and beiges which lead to a very comfortable ambience. The food came in a timely manner and was beautifully prepared. My colleague started with prawn puree which I tasted. It was delicious. Then he had lamb chops whilst I asked for a prawn naga which was not on the menu, but this was no issue for the chef. It was authentic and tasted divine. The staff were attentive throughout and offered us a complimentary drink at the end of the meal. A really nice touch. We left feeling like members of their family. It is just a shame we live in the Midlands, otherwise, it would become a regular haunt.

I have been a few times with my partner. Service is fantastic, food is good and cheap. Staff are very polite and look after you. Although be prepared to be asked if you would like popadoms about 5 times. Toilets are very clean.

Stopped in here for a quick meal, the place was a little empty but the service was very quick and friendly. The starters were freshly cooked with juicy Tandoori meat and the main course was succulent lamb with a fresh nan. For the price paid the food was good and I would certainly go back.

We happened to be in this neighbourhood and very hungry, so we decided to try it out. The interiors are cushy and suggest a rather higher end setting. The service is very well trained, they bring out hot plates and serve sizzling dishes. The food is good, portions not too big. I would recommend!

I've never had a bad meal here, whether I've eaten in or out. Coriander is the best Indian restaurant for miles. It's great for celebrations or if you just fancy a quick meal away from home.

i have tried all the Indian Restaurants nearby and this is the best one.Food and service are excellent. i had eaten meals here on a number of occasions and it is a consistently high standard.

Visited this wonderful restaurant tonight without having booked! Staff were very friendly and easy to chat to. The staff also made time to talk to us and readily admitted they wanted/needed to improve service however the food is freshly cooked to order so there will be a delay. The food was most definitely worth waiting for, portion sizes were just right .My friend loved the chocolate offered at the end of a fab meal. Will be returning ASAP!

I have been coming to coriander since they opened. the food is good, atmosphere is good and the customer service is excellent! The staff are very friendly and attentive, never feel rushed and always a pleasant experience overall.

We took a punt on the Coriander as it had recently opened in Oakwood. Even at 19.30 was very busy but the young lady in charge was most accommodating and sorted a table even though we had not booked. Service was mostly brisk and of a high standard. Food amongst the best Indian I have yet tasted. Flavorsome with no single taste over whelming the other, when they say delicate blend of spices they really do mean it here. All in all an excellent experience and one I would be bound to repeat - this time via a booking....
