Himalayan Bistro

When Coriander Bistro recently reopened, it kept its name while its culinary inspiration swapped continents. Formerly a romantic French restaurant, Coriander Bistro transformed into a romantic Indian restaurant, serving a robust menu of nearly 100 flavorful dishes. Created under the watchful eye of chef Dammar Thapa, the menu’s tandoori dishes, vegetable samosas, and nepalese dumplings furnish empty bellies as diners sop their plates clean with almost 20 kinds of bread. The aromas of ginger, chili paste, and Himalayan peppercorns drift from the kitchen, hinting at dishes traditionally served in the streets and homes of Kathmandu and other regions of Nepal and India. Steamed dumplings brim with veggies like the pockets of a scarecrow on payday, and tendrils of smoke unwind from kebabs in a tandoor or over an open charcoal fire.
