Coriander Vegetarian Restaurant: what visitors should know first

Useful for Indian food with many vegetarian choices, but not a meat-free kitchen. The guide warns that some meat dishes are on the menu, so strict vegetarians should ask how dishes are cooked or pick another place.

Why it matters

Why Coriander Vegetarian Restaurant is worth your time

A name like this can mislead families who read it as a promise. The reason to include it is the guide's own caution: it is an Indian restaurant with plenty for vegetarians, run alongside meat dishes, and knowing that before you go is better than finding out at the table.

For mixed groups it can work well, because one person can eat vegetarian while another orders what they like, and everyone gets familiar flavours. The inexpensive prices the guide reports also make it a low-risk place to try. Ask your questions, order sensibly, and move on if the answers do not satisfy you.

How to experience it

The vegetarian guide we opened lists Coriander Vegetarian Restaurant at 21E Street 71 as an Indian restaurant that is vegetarian and vegan friendly. It adds a warning that, despite the name, the menu includes some meat dishes, and that most options cost under five US dollars.

That warning matters for planning. Order from the vegetarian pages only, and ask how the dishes are cooked, since a kitchen with a mixed menu may share pans, oil and utensils. A dal, a vegetable curry and bread or rice, shared between the table, is a safe starting order; we did not find a menu, so follow the staff's guidance on spice.

If your household is strict about meat contact, treat this as a fallback and use a fully vegetarian place first. If you are happy with a veg-friendly kitchen, the long listed hours make it flexible between sights.

Plan with confidence

Small checks that make a better meal.

  • Ask how vegetarian dishes are cooked
  • Order from the vegetarian pages only
  • Confirm hours before going
  • Choose a fully vegetarian place if you are strict
