Feb 2021 • solo

The food is so good here I actually came 3 nights in a row when I was staying in the nearby Carlton hotel. The ambience is chic, the staff attentive, the menu is varied and the food quality exquisite at a very reasonable price. If you are near Chimjes this is an absolute must

A must to return

Oct 2020 • couples

Restaurant Week 2020 has taken our culinary experience to the next level and dining at the Coriander Leaf certainly exceeded our expectations. Its 4 course set dinner showcase tasting portions of its creative menu. We like the bite size crab cakes with tangy mango salad, the soft naan with tomato paste, fluffy coriander rice with steamed sea bass with flavorful dressing. The perfectly fried banana balls served with gula melaka ice cream tops the dessert I have had in last 4 dining sessions. Coriander Leaf’s service is first class, their well trained staff are friendly, accommodating and professional. At the table they welcome you with a paan platter (betel leaf & condiments) and serve complimentary iced water throughout. The ambience is lovely with a lovely window view of Chijmes from the window. Coriander Leaf certainly tops the restaurant week’s list of amazing dining experience. We felt so relaxed, took our time to enjoy our meal and we look forward to returning with our friends to try more of the other fabulous food on their menu. They have an open kitchen so you can see the magic happens.

Must Try Restaurant at Chijmes

Mar 2020 • none

My wife and I had dinner there a couple of nights ago. The menu is unusual, something like small bites or tapas however all the items are Asian. One selects food options from various columns on the menu. All items are meant for sharing. The foods we picked were mouth wateringly excellent, full of flavors and spices (not to spicy, just right). We did wines by the glass. It was nice to see quality wines available by the glass at reasonable prices. Services throughout dinner was perfect; great recommendations on the food options and wine pairings. This is on our "must return to" list of restaurants when we visit Singapore.

Terrible Service

Jan 2021 • none

Excellent food but the culinary goodness is completely lost by the bad taste the terrible service leaves you with.. no one to look after you, we were a group of 6 and were placing our own orders (the portion sizes do not warrant sharing) and we were told sternly that we should place all our orders in one go else the the kitchen gets jammed up.. this is the first time i have heard of such a lame excuse from a restaurant, the chef is expected to make the food a the orders come in, its in-comprhensible what does 'kitchen getting jammed up' means , if the restaurant cant handle the crowd, perhaps they should think about taking less reservations or investing in an automated ordering system. , the individual who was supposed to take care of our table was too busy, when we ordered the main course together for all 6 of us (we were simply so terrifief after the comment) , there was no repeat of the order taken , so we didn't even know until our food arrived that what we had ordered was correctly noted. We ordered water and had to remind twice (across 30 minutes). It will do good to the owners if they either cycle out the current staff or atleast increase the numebr of people waiting at the tables.

Great food, poor service

Aug 2020 • couples

We arrived at the restaurant at 1:45 just before kitchen closing. We did order quickly as we didn't want to inconvenience the staff. After having our food we were pretty much rushed with the waiter asking if he could clear when there was still food left on our plates. There were people around us still having a slow lunch and chit chatting but they didn't seem to get the same treatment as us. The body language of the waiter also seemed to be snobbish. Though the food was great, we wouldn't be going back owing to how differently we were treated.

Awesome food, great vibes, and excellent service!

Apr 2021 • none

It was just a simple dinner affair with my ex-colleagues but the restaurant really exceeded expectations. The flavours in the food was really on point, and great for sharing. The menu has loads of different items and if you’re someone who likes variety, you’ll be happy see the menu! The best part is the staff there are really friendly and approachable - we even had a laugh or two with them. Will definitely be back!

Good food, Great Service

Nov 2021 • family

Our family of four had dinner here while on our staycation in the city. James Nasution, restaurant manager, accommodated the many changes we made to our reservation and looked after us very well during our meal. We liked the braised spicy prawns, crab cakes, red duck curry and soft shell crab. And dessert platter A afforded a lovely ending to our meal. The craft beers and cocktails were great too. We were amazed at how well the chef managed to fuse the various cuisines; no tacky combinations. Will recommend.

A Christmas Pairing: Coriander Leaf dinner and Candlelight concert!

Dec 2021 • none

After a year of being apart due to the pandemic, my wife and daughter arranged a special pairing for our Christmas celebration: dinner at Coriander Leaf followed by a candlelight concert at Victoria Theater and Concert Hall. From the time we stepped into Coriander Leaf and until we left, it was evident that service was considered a priority at this place. What surprised me, however, was how exciting and delicious were their food. For starters, we paired the green mango salad topped by a crispy soft-shell crab with the watermelon salad. The tartness of the green mango salad, the spiciness of the chili-lime dressing, the sweetness of the watermelon and the creaminess of the white cheese created a melange of flavors in our palate that could only be described as refreshingly satisfying. For our mains, we shared the Nepalese momo dumpling, crabcakes, spinach parcel, and garlic naan. The dumplings were light and flavorful but what made it pop was the roasted tomato relish. The white cheese and brown butter sauce for the spinach parcel was perfect for our garlic naan. The spinach parcel was steamed perfectly and the crabcakes had just the right combination of crabmeat and spices. And while we were enjoying the dining experience, Daniel who is a member of the chef staff stopped by to ask how the food was! It was clear that the chefs cared very much about the satisfaction of the customers. This became more evident when we ordered dessert. My wife wanted the avocado ice cream with fried banana fritters while my daughter ordered the rose pavlova. I really wanted to have the banana fritters but with coconut ice cream and so I asked Daniel if they would be willing to serve it that way. He said he will try and then later personally brought our ordered desserts to our table...with my coconut ice cream! What a perfect cap to a such a delectable and superb dining experience! My compliments to Daniel, the kitchen staff and the serving staff. You have made my family one of your regular customers from now on. Keep up the good work...and thank you for making our Christmas night-out a truly special one!

Horrible!

Jan 2021 • couples

My wife & I visited this restaurant on 5 Jan. They served us Chicken Momos while we ordered veg Momos. Before we placed our first order, we informed the waitress that all food on this table has to be Veg. Only after we enquired about the momos that were served, they told that its chicken and was served due to some confusion between the waiter and cooking staff. Would never visit again or recommend it to anyone else. Shameless, incompetent and unprofessional!

A Surprise Find - Superb Dining experience

Dec 2021 • friends

We stumbled on this gem as we went on the hunt for a place in CHIJMES for drinks and dinner with no reservation. They didn’t have any tables for us but we had the option of seating in front of the chef / kitchen. Ended up being a fantastic evening as the chef and the owner (who was there that day coordinating service) gave us excellent recommendations. The food was sublime and delicious. Service was equally good. The advantage of seating in front of the chef? 1. You get to see the food coming out to the other tables so you may choose what appeals to you. 2. You get to chat with the Chef and get his recommendations based on your likes and dislikes. 3. Although you are full, you get seduced into having dessert ( which is not a bad thing) :). What a great experience. Will be returning with our spouses / families on the next occasion. Thank you.

Interesting Menu, Great Ambience

Jan 2020 • family

Enjoyed our family dinner thoroughly. I would say it’s a fusion restaurant leaning on the Indian palate. Tried the stir friend eggplant (DELISH), momo dumplings (lovely), the watermelon feta salad (excellent touch with the saffron water on melon), and a bunch of desserts (liked the crem brûlée), the lava cake came highly recommend but I didn’t find it to be anything special. Overall, great ambience for a special occasion dinner. Wine selection is good. Open kitchen is a fun thing to watch.

Good dinner

Apr 2022 • solo

First visit, the miso marinated silver cod was above average, portion was rather generous. The stir fried eggplant was good. The steamed white rice at SGD4 each, my most expensive bowl of plain rice in Singapore, didn't taste anything special. Ambience okay and normal customer service. Probably return to try out other dishes with the different types of naan.

Organise your online booking system!!!

Oct 2023 • couples

We phoned and booked (what we thought) was a table for two. On arrival we were told that the only seating was at the counter. When we go out to a not inexpensive restaurant we don’t want to be seated at a counter thank you very much. If you can’t accommodate us at a proper table then don’t book us in!!!

Extensive Menu to suit all tastes

Aug 2022 • couples

The menu at Coriander Leaf is quite extensive offering a variety of Asian food. It also has vegetarian options. The plates are for sharing and we ordered the crispy duck pancakes, the Nepalese chicken dumplings and the lamb cutlets. Each dish was beautifully flavoured and the 3 dishes and a small dessert was plenty of food. They also included an “amuse bouche” that provided a pleasantly interesting introduction to the flavours we were going to experience. The restaurant has a nice feel about it and the tables were full with a buzz of conversation around the room. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. We had an enjoyable time.

5 star food!

Feb 2020 • friends

Second time here. However, this time round there were a few customers making a little scene towards the friendly staff and hurling vulgarities. All in all, Love the food and ambience here. Tried the lamb chop, red curry duck, grilled broccoli (recommended), steamed seabass & olive rice. Super delicious and suitable for asian taste! Great for gatherings and food sharing. Did I mention about the awesome dessert? Yes! The white rabbit ice cream is to die for!
