Customer's reviews

I have given 5 stars because the food my husband and I had was so tasty…and I am extremely fussy, but couldn’t fault it. The only complaint I had was that the poppodums while nicely presented were just not very nice in my opinion. The staff were very warm and friendly…in particular the waitress ‘Sowmya’. What a breath of fresh air she was…so attentive, engaging and efficient with taking our orders to presenting our meals to clearing our plates …and all done with the biggest smile. She most definitely is an asset to Cilantro and a big reason (other than the delicious food)why I will be returning with family and friends. Cilantro is a big thumbs up from me! P.s I would advise you book in advance as it got very busy fast!! ~ Dusa D
We visited this restaurant and absolutely loved it. As someone who’s Indian, I can honestly say the food felt authentic, beautifully balanced, and full of flavour without being heavy. Everything tasted fresh and light, yet still rich in taste. You could tell real care went into each dish. We ordered a spread to share and enjoyed every single bite. The staff were just as impressive as the food. They were attentive, polite, and kind. They made us feel very welcome and were lovely to speak with, which really added to the experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the whole evening felt relaxed and enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Indian food with fantastic service. ~ Sophia
Cilantro in Putney is Indian food at its best. This restaurant is perfect for vegetarians, offering an impressive range of options to choose from. We returned for a fourth visit this Saturday for a late lunch and were greeted by Deva, who remembered not only our names but also our previous order. The food is fresh and arrives quickly. The menu offers an interesting selection of traditional regional dishes with the flavours delicately balanced, providing the comfort of a home-cooked meal. We enjoyed the lightest Garlic Naan, the Papdi Chaat is a fresh, vibrant starter, and the Makhani Dal and Paneer Lababdar with saffron rice completed our meal. Cilantro offers outstanding value and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like coming home. ~ Emma Z
