The hospitality at this restaurant is second to none. I came a little bit earlier than they opened and they allowed me to sit inside to get away from the heat. They also offered me a drink while I waited for my food to finish up. The food is good too! Can’t go wrong with the butter chicken.

We had enjoyed takeout from Cilantro before, but decided to dine in, and was pleasantly surprised to find the decor is as delicious as the food. The customer service is always warm and efficient! I ordered one of the popular entrees Coconut Curry Chucken, served with naan, jasmine rice, chickpeas and spicy cilantro sauce-all flavorful and moist! I highly recommend Cilantro.

This is by far my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. We go to Cilantro weekly for lunch as they are always friendly, quick, and delicious. The team there (I believe it is family owned) are so kind and check on almost every person to ensure their experience - you can feel that they really care about their diners. The restaurant itself is always clean, bright, and airy. Dish sizes are well-portioned; not too huge that you're stuffed but you're never left feeling you didn't get what you paid for. And, of course, every dish is delicious! I personally love the samosa chat with chicken, but every person I've ever taken there has loved what they ordered.

We've been enjoying Cilantro for all of the years since they've been at this location. All the dishes are fresh, unique and absolutely delicious. Their decor gets enhanced often and makes it an appealing atmosphere. The staff always makes you feel like family and they always look forward to doing whatever they can do to make your experience better. Try their chutney (spicy green condiment), it's amazing and I even eat it with a spoon. If you visit often, they'll know your usual order ahead of time but still be willing to suggest something you might enjoy. Love this place!!!

Expansive menu featuring a healthful variety of Indian spices and herbs. Plenty of tantalizing options to choose from and a friendly, knowledgeable staff to help you narrow the decision. Bright, clean, fun atmosphere. Would certainly return.

Absolutely loved this place, came here on the recommendation of a friend and got the lamb biryani. It was one of the best dishes I've had, the spices were perfect. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, felt very welcome even though I'd never been there before. Will definitely visit again.
