Great food- too much to finish and well worth the price. I got a wrap and was impressed with the size, and the samosas were excellent. It has a small seating area but it was cozy and clean. All the ingredients were very fresh too. Will be coming back!

Food was fantastic
Food was bad. The naan seemed like store bought.

Love Cilanter, and I hope this change in management they're going through is worth it. I used to always go here for the wraps but, I was a pretty disappointed in the last couple wraps I got from them. But more recently I will say the last couple times I went I have been absolutely addicted to their butter chicken they just added to the menu. Tender chicken, spicy curry sauce, warm and filling, paired with fluffy jasmine rice, and my god, the gentleman asked If I wanted any Naan with the order and I casually chose the garlic Naan. DO NOT PASS UP THE NAAN. I kid you not when I smelled it when I first opened it up, I immediately put it up to my freinds face and told her to smell, because it was DIVINE, perfectly crispy and fluffy and the garlic absolutely carries through. I genuinely can't explain how perfect of a combo the curry sauce, chicken, rice and Naan make as a single bite. I would happily order this meal for days in a row and not be tired of it. Please do yourself a favor and go order that Butter Chicken. I'll probably eventually go back to a wrap here and there, but the butter chicken has me locked in for the foreseeable future.

This place is a great addition to the area, offering tasty non-oily Indian food, done originally with bowls and wraps in addition to normal dishes. The owners are super friendly, so be sure to stop by and give these guys your business! And try the mango lassi, it is 🔥

Cilanter is nothing to look at from the outside (or really inside for that matter). However, the staff were friendly and made sure that I was well taken care of. You order at the kiosk and they prepare your food and call your name when it’s ready.
I ordered the saag with potatoes and the gentleman also gave me a complimentary pink dessert.
I’ve had Indian food all around the world and always love ordering saag. When I tell you this was one of the BEST saags I’ve ever had I’m not lying. Quite honestly it was incredible. The spinach was blended very well, it was incredibly creamy, and there were even some chunks of onions and peppers throughout. The potatoes practically melted in my mouth but still had enough bite to contrast the creamy saag. The meal was spiced perfectly and offered a multitude of complex flavors.
The portions were enormous. They definitely gave me enough rice and curry for atleast two meals. If this was the quality of one of their dishes I’m excited to try out more of their options! Utterly fantastic. Don’t let the outside fool you- this is a must try for Indian dishes.

Had an absolutely delicious meal, and we were treated to a free dessert by the owner. Food was a great price and was ready quick! Look forward to eating here again. (:

They just recently expanded their menu to include more than just the delicious build your own bowls and wraps. The food has always been excellent. They also now have parking and cozy indoor seating. Myself and all my coworkers highly recommend this place for take out. Please check it out for casual and perfectly good Indian food. The people who work there are also incredibly kind! I feel so lucky to have found this gem!

As of 12/1/2025 they are under new ownership and the chickpeas came in a cream sauce that was previously vegan. Please double check ingredients and ask!

Saw it from the street and turned around to try for lunch! Decent amount, not overflowing but the right amount of protein for the price. Tried tikka chicken with salad. Rice would be more filling. Price is right.
