The menu blends traditional Indian recipes with fresh ingredients and vibrant spices, creating dishes that satisfy both meat lovers and plant-based diners alike.

Guests can enjoy popular starters like Veg. Pakodas (kasvis pakodaat), crispy vegetable fritters served with a sweet sauce, and Veg.

The heart of Coriander’s offerings lies in its classic Indian mains. Creamy Chicken Curry (kanakastike), rich Butter Chicken (voi kana), tangy Chicken Vindaloo (kanavindaloo) and dreamy Chicken Tikka Masala (tikka masala kana) are served with steaming basmati rice (basmatiriisi), giving diners hearty, satisfying meals every time. Flavorful vegetarian mains such as Navratan Korma (kasvis korma), Matar Paneer (hernejuusto curry) and Rajma (kidney bean curry) offer bold spice profiles that are full of character.

Sides of freshly baked naan and garlic naan (valkosipuli naan), cool raita (yogurttikastike) and refreshing lassi drinks, including Mango Lassi (mango jogurttijuoma), round out the meal and complement the bold Indian spices with creamy and soothing notes.
