Coriander restaurant in Hatch End, has won the national Restaurant of the Year Award category at the UK Bangladesh Catalysts of Commerce & Industry (UKBCCI) Inaugural Business & Entrepreneur Excellence Awards 2016 and Gala Dinner.
Held at the London Hilton Park Lane on Sunday 20th November, the glittering awards ceremony saw Coriander owner Salim Chowdhury clinch the award presented by Christopher Davies, Marketing Manager of NCL Tours, the award sponsor and Maggie Throup MP, (Member of Parliament for Erewash, Derbyshire), of the Conservative Party. It was handed in the presence of over 800 guests, made up of dignitaries, VIPs, MPs and prominent members of the business community.
The restaurant which opened in 2012 in the upmarket North-West London enclave of Hatch End – home to the likes of the late Mrs Beeton amongst other well-known names – has become a firm favourite in the area’s exciting restaurant scene, winning several awards since including, Newcomer of the Year (Asian Curry Awards 2013), Restaurant of the Year 2013 & 2014 (Harrow Times) and Pat Chapman’s Curry Club Certificate of Excellence for ‘Best in Middlesex’ 2016. Coriander has also been a finalist at the prestigious British Curry Awards in 2013, 2014, and 2016.
With a host of well-made and flavoursome North-Indian style dishes, the restaurant also offers the distinction of authentic Bengali-style dishes – ranging from Shatkora (a citrus fruit commonly known in English as “Melanesian Papeda” or “wild orange”), through to Shorisha Mas (tilapia cooked with mustard), Mas Biran and more.
Chowdhury says of the cooking at Coriander as, “authentic with a hint of fusion”. Chowdhury of course knows all about the restaurant business. He’s been in the trade for 25 years and currently owns a string of restaurants, Coriander being his latest. Locals are avidly lapping up its food and many describe the cooking to be “fresh and consistent” and where there’s “always a warm welcome”.
