“Amazing food and excellent service! We ordered naan, rice, and two types of curry — everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The naan was soft and fresh, and the curries were rich and aromatic. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely come back again!”

“Fantastic food and highly respectful wait staff. I loved the Bombay chicken... It was absolutely out of this world. The best part is that you can get Uber eats from this establishment! For the best curry in Christchurch I would say that Corianders is the place to go. They have a superb range of gluten free options.”

Our food wasn’t rushed out which we loved including not rushing our our main after entree. The food was amazing! One of the best we have had and so nicely presented. I highly recommend this restaurant!”

“Very yummy Chinese food best in the Papanui area by far ,always such nice service even the odd freebie chucked in to highly recommend :)”

“Valentines Hornby is our favourite place to eat! We go at least once a month and cannot fault it. The food is fantastic - a great variety, very fresh, always beautifully cooked, and nicely presented. They often experiment with new dishes but you can rely on the favourites to always be there. The food is always hot and constantly replenished, and there is a great salad bar too. The dessert is amazing! Such a variety, including a chocolate fountain and ice cream machine. I love all the small portion mousses, meringues, cheesecake, hot dishes and the sides, like berries, cream and sauces. The lemon roulade is so good! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service is great too. We cannot praise this place enough - do yourself a favour and check it out! Great value for money too.”

“Repeat customer. Love that there are a handful of vegan options. Service is always so prompt. Requests are not a fuss. The loyalty card is appreciated.”

We have tried all the dishes from the menu and everything is always packed with flavours and made with fresh great quality ingredients. The food is superlative with an amazing blend of Indian spices. If you are craving for authentic bold Indian flavours then this place is a must try. Highly recommend it.”
