so good and fresh. my husband and i went there for lunch and we fell in love. the guy and his mom that served us were very knowledgeable and friendly and really made us feel special. the food is amazing and the service is extraordinary. my husband has traveled all over in the military and he said the food was very authentic and delicious.

it's so good!!!. i stopped in and had an excellent lunch on thursday. it was my first visit for 2015 and i've been craving a meal from here for quite a while now.

they had already packed up the serving station so i looked at the board and then the lady behind the counter told me the lunch special was a goat curry dish and gave me a sample. i decided to go with that. it was served with rice and a side of broccoli with a piece a bread as well.

i can't recall if i've had goat or not before. if i have, it was probably 20 years ago when i was in europe. i was expecting a tough piece of meat however this dish was so tender that the meat practically fell apart. my compliments to the chef, she really knows what shes doing. the closet approximation i could make would be that it was kind of like a very tender roast beef.

lunch was just excellent and i'm already looking forward to my next trip.

cilantro is awesome!. i finally had lunch here on a rainy friday afternoon a few weeks ago and have to say that it is one of the best meals i've had in ages. i've been wanting to visit cilantro since sampling their food last summer at the big yelp event downtown. it was the absolute highlight of the event.

they had just broken down the station out front however the owner told us what the special had been that day and made us plates and brought them out to us. i had scallion telapia, tamarind eggplant, rice & sriracha wings. everything on here was excellent and honestly i could have eaten another plate.

now that they're expanding their hours i'm hoping to make it a regular stop on the way home from work. you have got to try this food out. you'll be so glad that you did.

a hidden gem! the personable young man and his mother show great pride in their cuisine, and take the time to explain the choices. informative and delicious. we enjoyed the palata(fresh crispy grilled bread), and the polao (flavored jasmine rice) topped with a moist tilapia for my guest and shahi chicken (royal chicken marinated in yogurt and spices) for me. a side order of (chotpotti (chickpea salad, highly recommended by a vegan guest) rounded out the meal, topped off with a light limeade. eat here! wonderful flavors, wonderful people.

on the expensive side but it's good food especially if you are looking for something different and ethnic. much better for you than the traditional american foods as well. nice clean little place, we tried a little of everything.

good food. we went for lunch a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed our meal. the food is ordered cafeteria style. the selection is not huge but there variety was good with generous portions. the food is not cheap in either taste or price however. for a nice sit down meal i find the food a bit better and about the same price just down the street at nawab.
