"Absolutely the best Indian food in Winnipeg! The butter chicken is creamy, rich, and full of depth. The naan is pillowy soft and cooked perfectly. The staff are warm, welcoming, and make you feel right at home. We come here every week!"
"The Currito is an absolute genius creation — Indian curry wrapped like a burrito. My mind was blown on the first bite. The Portage location has such a cool, modern vibe and the service is always fast and friendly. Highly recommend!"
"I picked up from Bridgwater for the first time and I was so impressed. Everything was piping hot, perfectly packaged, and tasted incredible. The chicken tikka masala had the perfect level of spice. Already planning my next order!"
"Cilantro's catered our office lunch and every single person was raving about the food. The biryani was fragrant and perfectly cooked, the paneer dishes were divine. Professional, punctual, and delicious. Will definitely book again!"
"As a vegetarian I always struggle to find places with proper options, but Cilantro's has an amazing variety. The dal makhani and chana masala are absolutely outstanding. Fresh, authentic and made with love. This is my go-to restaurant now!"
"The Indian Poutine deserves its own award. Who knew Indian gravy on fries would be the most satisfying thing I've ever eaten? The mango lassi was also refreshing and perfectly sweet. Cilantro's keeps innovating and it keeps working!"
"We brought our family of 8 for a birthday dinner and the experience was beyond expectations. The staff went above and beyond, the food came out quickly, and every dish was bursting with flavour. Cilantro's is truly a gem in Winnipeg. Thank you!"
