The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

Restaurant has now closed. It was set up as a Chai Cafe but that has also closed. No notice#to say what is happening. chutney is opposite and is very good

Literally the best Indian I’ve ever had !! Phone rings constantly - no wonder 😍

Wonderful Indian restaurant. The food was really tasty, everything with its own individual flavour. Naans fluffy. Typical main course around £11-12 but a fecent portion size. Was £115 for our table woth popadams, mains and drinks). The staff were superb, welcomed with a smile and at no point were we rushed. They could see we were chatting and having a relaxed evening and titratined the service to that without us needing to say everything. We were there for hrs and had a lovely time on a Friday night. After Eight mints to end (what more could you ask for!). A shame we were all driving and couldn't accept the complimentary shot. We will be returning for sure.

food delivered early which was nice, piping hot, very enjoyable.

Just got delivery from Coriander Leaf and not a bad word to say. Portion sizes were very generous and the food itself was lovely. Definitely recommend.

Great food as always. Excellent portion sizes, speedy collection and friendly service as always.

It’s a few years since we’ve been to this restaurant and we had many good experiences in the past. Sadly, this visit was less than impressive. Our relatively early evening booking saw poppadoms and pickle tray delivered. One dipping pot was chipped in several places and really should be discarded in the bin. Tight servings of the pickle dishes for 6 people - perhaps review the portion sizes you serve as a plain poppadom is little more than a large crisp otherwise. Drinks arrived eventually. Main courses ordered and we sat back and chatted, chatted, chatted…waiting for the plates we used for our poppadoms to be collected from the table. A gentle hint of the customers stacking up these plates eventually caught the attention of the waiter and he came over to remove them from our table. Then we had time to chat, chat, chat, chat whilst waiting for our main course to be served. Thank goodness we didn’t order anything over complicated or starters. After an hour and a quarter we caught one of the waiters and politely asked whether our main course was due to arrive. As if by magic, we were informed we were next and the dishes arrived in a rather haphazard disorganised way, so our group got rice but no curry or their curry but no rice etc. Rice portion sizes were also very small. Several of the dishes served to our group contained chicken - it was tough. The chicken jalfrazi looked like no other chicken jalfrazi I’d ever seen served in a similar restaurant. Very little tomato found within the jalfrazi hence it appeared rather too dark brown ( I know recipes differ). It was disappointing to see that tables are no longer covered in table cloths as most appear to be, chipped crockery, long waits before being served, waiters running in the restaurant, waiters carrying 4 plates, 4 rice dishes, plates of naan bread whilst serving customers - no serving trolleys or trays used. There was lots of rushing around by staff and perhaps far too many customers in the restaurant for the staff to cope with. Yes, it was busy, but when customers are forced to wait exceptionally long for their meals to arrive, the quality of cooking and ingredients, small portion sizes of dishes you start to question whether it’s worth going there again? Sadly, our answer to that would be an overwhelmingly no. There are so many other good restaurants in the area - Whitehill and Alton where service, quality of food and portion sizes are so good why would you want to return? Which is such a shame because in previous years we’ve had good food and a good experience here. I just wonder what has happened to change this? Maybe more staff are needed or spread table booking times so your kitchen and waiting staff aren’t so overwhelmed.

First time having a takeaway from here, excellent food, highly recommended. Will be back very soon for sure.

We always enjoy your curries, full of flavour, lots of tasty veggie options and helpful staff.

The food use to be really good we live in Waddesdon and was our first choice for a takeaway dunno what it is if the changed the chef or the recipes but not as good as before we had tikka masala use to be a lovely red colour now is orange and flavourless

Food was awesome definitely use again!!

This really pains me, as I've been a staunch advocate, and very long time customer (around 15 years) of The Coriander in Bourne End, and Amersham. The takeaway from Bourne End recently was very poor! The chicken tasted as if it'd been frozen, and old. It was very dry and chewy. The nan was very undercooked and almost soggy, with lukewarm rice. The only saving grace was veg samosa. The signs were there, only a couple of tables occupied on a Friday evening, very unusual. I'm afraid I won't be going again.

Lovely friendly staff, made us feel very welcome! Most importantly great food & a good selection on the menu! Would definitely go again if we was local!

Fabulous lamb rogon josh. Best lunch I have had in Eastbourne. Perfect service and fair pricing. I forgot to mention the shish kebab was also very tasty. This restaurant is a real gem.

Great food friendly staff, great value for money.
