| - Coriander is an excellent addition to the many Indian restaurants in the Pittsburgh area. As someone who frequently eats Indian food, I was aware on my first visit that this restaurant came from a departing member of India Garden, but it is not an offshoot of the original. While the food is different and good, the owner took the weaknesses of his former experience and prefected the issues there. Happy employees would be the most notable difference, which is a great relief.
I have been to Coriander several times now, only ordering off of the menu. However, by the size of their buffet tables and signs, it would appear to be extensive. What you should note about the menu is that it is extensive. You will find a wide variety of all of your favorite Northern Indian dishes, some new ones too, Southern Indian selections, and the hard to find Manchurian or Indo-Chinese dishes. The paneer Manchurian entree is so good. The items that I have ordered have been excellent, well spiced, and worth going back for another trip.
As others have reported, I have found the service here to be excellent, with attentive and happy faces to help you at every turn. The dining room is an expansive space, filled with many booths and walls in bright, clean colors. This place would be good for a larger party of guests. There is a full bar in house as well as several large TVs that play clips from Bollywood films. I believe on game days for major PGH sports they play the game also.
