ABOUT

For the people of Reading

You keep this city running. We'll keep you fed.

The Coriander Express brings the full force of Indian street food to Reading, food made for lunch breaks, busy days, late afternoons and proper appetites.

Born from the spirit of The Coriander Club, the Express takes carefully spiced Indian food out of the sit-down setting and into the rhythm of the day: vivid, generous and made for people on the move.

Based on Erleigh Road, the menu is built around Naanwich Rolls, Chaat and Rice Bowls. The philosophy is simple: heritage without the heaviness, speed without shortcuts, flavour first, and generosity in every portion.
