Coriander's Bush Inn is the Upper Riccarton branch of a Christchurch restaurant group centred on North Indian cooking. Located inside Bush Inn Centre, it combines a warm dining room with convenient parking and flexible areas for social gatherings and small functions. Lunch and dinner are served every day, and the same kitchen supports bookings, collection and delivery. That accessibility makes the venue equally practical after shopping, for a family curry night or for a group choosing a set menu around a longer celebration.
The starters are built to mix at the centre of the table. Vegetable samosa and onion bhaji provide familiar crisp openings, while cauliflower pakora and green-vegetable harabhara kebab expand the vegan selection. Chicken tikka is marinated with yoghurt, fenugreek and ground spices before the tandoor, and minced chicken-and-lamb kebabs are cooked on skewers. Four platters gather different combinations for two, including a chef's version with lamb chops, king prawns, lamb tikka, fish Amritsari tikka and the house chicken tikka.
Chicken and lamb curries move across a wide spectrum of textures and heat. Bhuna is comparatively dry and onion-rich; saag uses spinach; vindaloo brings vinegar and chilli; kadai and jalfrezee lean on capsicum, tomato and fresh aromatics. Korma, madras, achari and rogan josh provide further routes through cream, fenugreek, pickle spice or warm whole spices. Seafood receives equal attention through butter prawns, Goan coconut preparations, prawn jalfrezee, gurnard fish curry and fish cooked with ginger, garlic and vinegar.
Plant-based dining is treated as a full menu strand. Soy pieces appear in vegan jalfrezee, do pyaza, vindaloo, achari, saag and a cashew-based butter-style sauce. Paneer, lentils and vegetables add another large set of meat-free choices, from palak paneer and malai kofta to tarka daal, aloo gobi and tandoor-roasted eggplant. Basmati rice and breads complete the savoury order, while warm gulab jamun offers a traditional sweet finish. Diners can also ask for dishes at their preferred heat level.
