My fiancée and I had an incredible dinner at Coromandel Cuisine of India in Darien, CT the food is not only authentically prepared, it's beautifully presented and thoughtfully flavored. Every dish had layered, balanced spices, rich, aromatic, and never heavy. The ambiance is classy and comfortable, a polished dining room that still feels warm and welcoming, perfect for date night or a special meal with friends. The service was outstanding: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, with staff who guided us through the menu and checked in at just the right times. What really sets Coromandel apart is the range of dishes, the menu includes unique options you don't see at most Indian spots, alongside the classics. It's the rare place that nails both. If you're searching for authentic Indian food in Darien or anywhere in Fairfield County, put Coromandel Cuisine of India at the top of your list. Exceptional food, great service, refined atmosphere--couldn't recommend more.

When I called they did help by offering to text me so I could send a photo and they confirmed which dish was mine, and when I finally sat to eat it it was incredibly spicy even though I asked twice to confirm it was not.

The main benefit of that being I didn't have to decide what I was having for lunch. This was the choice. I like mediterranean because it tends to be slightly healthier than some other options. This place is right up my alley because of the vegetarian leaning options on the menu, which is another benefit of this particular cuisine. Having said that, there were quite a few choices for me. They have bowls, salads, soup, sandwiches, platters, I mean, it's endless. I was planning on taco bell for dinner so had to compensate somewhat with lunch and decided to build a salad. I did greens, their mix of rice and lentils, cauliflower, cabbage, pickles, hummus, hot sauce. I am not a big fan of spring mix and I wonder if maybe something hot caused the greens to wilt but they were way too wilty for me. That was not particularly appetizing but everything else was really tasty. The hummus, especially, holy shit. I could eat that with a spoon. Two of my colleagues got the jersualem falafel sandwich and raved about it. I tried some of their fries and that seasoning is a game changer. I also got the garlic dip (to eat at home, later, don't worry). I couldn't tell you what that substance is and idk if I even want to know but it is whipped lusciousness. I am also genuinely curious to know how much garlic they put in there because it literally BURNS. No concern for vampires for quite a while. Very tasty, would definitely order again.
