I don’t know why the people dining in March 2025 at The Coriander Restaurant were so unkind in their critique ? I had an amazing meal that was well seasoned and beautifully presented! It was also very good value for money! The staff were wonderfully attentive and knowledgeable and I cannot fault their attention to detail - as they bent over backwards to ensure I had a fine dining experience. Thank you - I shall return.
