Place : Cilantro Menu : Platter for Two ! We chose (Drinks : Strawberry Lemonade, Appetizer : Tomato & Pesto Crostini, Poutine with Gravy. Mains : Grilled Sirloin Steak, Peruvian Chicken, Batter Fried Fish Fillet, Chicken Skewers, Sauteed Veggies, Spanish Rich, Herb Rice, House Special Sauce & Tartar Sauce. Sweets : Cajeta Rolls.) Environment : 7/10 Taste : 8/10 Price : 7/10 Service : 7/10 Food was Great no doubt. Different atmosphere ofcourse, seating was different compare to other restaurant, Service was a bit slow but its ok, Good for hangout with friends, you may share this platter with your friends. I will visit again for sure. And recommend to guys as well.

The restaurant is decorated uniquely. There are two types of sitting arrangements. One is a general chair-table setup, another is sitting on the floor like Japanese style. The food menu is rich in various items. Food quality was above average in my opinion. Their cream of mushroom soup and garlic bread was so mouthwatering.

The ambience was pretty nice and lovely. Ordered a platter for two there, the rib eye stake wasn’t up to the mark! Specially loved the drinks (Strawberry Lemonade and Lemon Iced Tea), fish items, and dessert (Churros). This place deserves a 5-star rating, but there are rooms for improvements for the main dishes. But the whole experience was good enough.

The place is straightforward, nothing fancy wallpaper, all organized and minimal. For four people, its an amazing place to be. Separate smoking zone is also there, though It's not very spacious, but the simple and elegant look of the restaurant hides this drawback. The menu is just hilarious, fonts are very different and its a text only menu. No food picture is there, but Don't worry, the food quality is up to the mark. Price is on the higher side, but for the experience and behaviour, its totally worth it. I tried chowmein and a prawn dish. Tasty! Good luck!

Had a good experience here. Couldn't have 5 star rating because they basically they used Maggie masala in the Dori fish, which was really unexpected. Other that that this platter was good enough. I actually liked the vibe of the cafe, it's quite different from anywhere.

Great premium quality food. But very expensive. Tried their mixed platter for two. Delicious foods and great in quantity, specially the main course was excellent. Staffs are well behaved. Seating arrangements are not enough comfortable. Small place but well decorated. I don't know why but smoking zone is open so smoke will come inside to everyone anyway. So, overall I would say I had a pleasant experience.

Provides many good services. There are different types of food available here and the food is very tasty to eat

Review Areas: 1. Price 2 (Based on rest five factors) 2. Taste 2 3. Service 3 4. Environment 5 5. Hygiene 4 6. Presentation 4 Observations: *Overall value for money 1 out of 5 *I took "The Spaniard" and am fully disappointed with the taste and price. The taste was sour and bitter, as well as too many condiments. *Price of "The Spaniard" was 730 taka but after adding their 10% service charge, the final bill was 803 taka. *Environment was good but I think people mainly visit restaurants because of taking food, rest comes second. *Their price is too high. Elite restaurants charge less than them if you consider what they serve except the environment. Note: -Improvement area Price, Service, and Taste. -No option for handwash -No parking -No Children's playground +Ac available +Good environment

Cilantro is a good place for having food. They have good number of platter and all of the food is very good in tastes.

Honestly I Didn’t hear about this restaurant before. I had an invitation there. Their smoking zone is truly nice and clean. I ordered a Black Jack juice, it was absolutely delicious. Their platter decoration was also nice.

Their food is very tasty and the atmosphere is also calm. The smoking zone is a little bit awkward to stay with babies as it is adjacent to the non-smoking zone.

Well, they don’t have a parking facility there. So every time you visit there, you might have to park your car blocking the entrance of Coopers beside and a ‘mama’ will come to you asking ‘Coppers jaaiben?’ and in response you can just nod or chip in some money if he’s suspicious. And then you take a turn and find the restaurant somewhere hidden beside another restaurant (I think abacus ?) The space is little suffocating especially if you sit inside that smoking corner. Seating arrangements are a little uncomfortable as they don’t have cushions on. That place with cushions just after the entrance, you should sit there only when all table are occupied. Staffs are well behaved. Their food is good. A little overpriced though. Their nachos is really good. (From not a fan of nachos) I don’t like spicy rice so not going to comment on that because I want to keep it unbiased. And yes of course, that service charge? Oh it burns ! If you want to use the restroom, you need to push the door really hard.

Nice environment. A bit small, highest people they can accommodate per table is 4. Serving time is a bit long. Food quality 9/10. Desserts are must try.

A small place with dark ambience and moderate food with an expensive price tag. The seating arrangements is okay, a bit congested but the seats are comfortable. While the behavior of the servers are good, the service is slow. They took a long time to serve the food and the food wasn't up to the mark. The Peruvian chicken was tasty but the mashed potato was absolutely disaster. The calamari fries were above average. For the quality they are serving, the pricing didn't seem justifiable at all.

Best food around dhanmondi. The staff is very friendly. Has a wide range of dish of the day, and a separate smoking zone. Food is delicious too. Went there for my favourite - Churros.

Food was really good. Staffs were helpful and on point about the service of the food. Price is in the high side. The restaurant is a bit small but the decoration is tasteful. Overall a good experience.

great food, great environment, they have an exceptional menu containing mexican dishes. Some of them i didn't even heard. The foods are of proper amount. Tried their quesadilla and a new type of peruvian pizza, both were very tasty. The service was very polite and friendly.

The food was okay. Seating arrangement could be better, as the seats are made of wood. Smoking zone is a plus for smokers like me. Kind of dark, so not gonna bring family to dine. Should also use less sault in the foods.

Very average steak, what steak shop doesn't even ask you the level of cooking? For the amount of money you're paying you'd expect top quality service, but certainly not the bang for your buck, taste okay but quantity is hilariously poor and cooking very mediocre, even the sides were just okay. Certainly far better places available for steak.

small place, neat and clean. variety of unique food available. i have tried their peruvian pizza and curros. both was tasty but little bit pricey and they have 10% service charge. you can give it a go but not a must try place though

Small place, nice ambiance with the separate smoking zone but their seating arrangement is little awkward for long-time seating cause its wooden. They have plenty of platters for couples and are amazing in taste. Strawberry lemonade is a must try drink 🍻. No parking option so park on the street. Push that door really really hard if you need to use washroom.

A good and one of my favourite dine in spaces here! I really love their decor! It's soothing and creative. they have washroom facilities and a smoking zone too, for food I always have their peruvian chicken, it's my moooost favourite. As two side kicks, i mostly prefer herb rice and sweet and spicy potatoes. But i love love love their fries and sauteed vegetables. Also please try their black berry juice but only try when its seasonal. Rest i will keep adding

2 star for the price, 4.5 star for the food. In average I would've given a 3.5 but I rounded it up to make it 3. We took Mixed platter for 2, which costed 2725tk that was already a lot, and to add fuel to fire, they charged us additional 10% service charge even more (!) with 5% VAT that made the platter almost 3000! But whatever the price was quality was really praiseworthy. As there were many items it is not possible to make all the items equally good for them. But I will say, most of them tasted really promising actually. Drink First they offered drink. We took one pitcher of Strawberry lemonade and one Iced Lemon Tea. We didn't like Iced lemon Tea at all and even couldn't finish it. Strawberry Lemonade was average for me through. Cream of Mushroom Soup with Bread The soup was really good. Very few places in Dhaka can make this mushroom soup taste promising and I think this place was one of them. Though the amount was a little bit less but the taste was satisfactory and tasted even better with the bread for me. Poutine I was not a fan of poutine because of soggy fries doesn't amuse me but liked the taste of cheese in it anyway. Here the fries wasn't soggy that much, more of a crunchy homemade fries like feeling. And the taste of cheesy sauce on it seemed okay for me. Ribeye Steak The size of the steak was enough for only one, but that they warned us beforehand. Now for the taste, I will warn you I'm not any kind of renowned food blogger or anything so I can't comment something like, it was not perfectly cooked, or well cooked or it wasn't perfectly tender or was or anything like that xD All I can say is it tasted good, we both really do liked it, the spicy level and the taste everything. Also it was a little bit chewy which didn't bother us much though I guess. Peruvian Chicken The chicken seemed to be average like any other chicken steaks on most restaurants. Wasn't bad, wasn't special either. Batter fried Fish Fillet The fish was really soft from the inside and crunchy from the outside and spicy flavor was perfectly complementing it. Chicken Skewers One thing I'll say is most of the items here had the perfect flavor and spice level and this item was no exception. Though most of the time I feel like chicken items in restaurants has kinda similar taste all the time. But this item was something different actually which amused me mostly. Rice They served us rice of two different flavors .I forgot which was what. But both tasted different and was good enough in a different way. Sauted Veggies Sauted veggies had too much মটরশুটি than carrots or anything else. We don't like মটরশুটি at all like this in Sauted vegetables so most of the vegetables got wasted as we couldn't eat. Though we completed everything other than the মটরশুটি though. Sauce They served sauces with two different flavors. Again forgot which was what. But can say, we liked the white sauce one more so couldn't get the chance to taste the other one 😆 Churros Finally as dessert they give options. We chose churros. I kinda liked it though not very much but personally think would've tasted better if the churros was a little bit thinner with more quantity.

A small nice food place in Dhanmondi. Quality of food is good. Their menu is quite interesting as well, good mix of foods and drinks. If you are not a smoker then the place might smell like smoke as their smoking zone is in the middle of the restaurant. Overall it is a good place to enjoy some good food.

I didn't go to their place (yet) but i did order from them and the food was amazing!! The chicken was cooked nicely and the sides were amazing!! The only caveat is that it is quite expensive, but when i ordered there was a bogo offer going on so it was really cheap for what its worth, highly recommended.

This place is nostalgia good for couple .for spending private time.you can't take family there otherwise you will be ashamed. Food was tasteless The prices adds service charge +vat Which is too much... Attached picture food costs 495 each without other cost

You may find it hard to locate this place with open eyes (as the entrance is very narrow) but the food will surely blow away your heart. I loved the food and relished till the end. We took the platter for two and it was perfect in all sense. Platter price was also inexpensive compared to quality of the food. Regular al a carta menu could be prooved as expensive compared to platter. Interior has kind of light and shady pattern, but not enough specious. Sitting arrangement also could have been better. Service is good but need to be a bit faster. I would love to visit Cilantro again for delicious platters.

I loved the item-Peruvian chicken with the Spanish rice.Chicken was very well cooked and you can choose two sides beside the chicken steak. I’d like to prefer this place for chicken steak.Service was also good, and the ambiance of that place is really nice, very well decorated with lights and glasses. I’ve also tried the beef nachos, but compared to the chicken I’d like to give it 3 stars out of the 5.

I love this place. People sanitize well. Other than one person, everyone wears masks properly and holds courtesy. Hospitality is amazing here.

The environment of the place is nice. The behavior of the staff is very good. For me the food was totally new. I didn't liked the Mexican flavor. But those who like it, it's a good place. A huge disappoint is 10% service charge. The food overpriced plus tax plus service charge. Not good at all.

The environment is beautiful. I loved being at this place, took a LOT of photos here as well, lol. It was like sitting underneath the stars, the decorations looked that way. We had this platter which cost 1899+ (without VAT and service charges), and I didn't post the photo of the toast with garlic gravy. The food tasted really great, I personally loved the items. They seemed really unique to me. The employees were very helpful, and humble, and they responded very quickly every time. I had an amazing, amazing time here...and I would definitely recommend this place.

Finding this place is bit tricky. Your google map will say you are here but you will not find it. This is just beside the coopers and kacchi bhai in the same side of star kabab.

The place is very cozy and warm. Felt great. But since the place isn't spacious, it was crowdy enough. The food is average but their service is top notch!

Not recommended.

Food was good along with their service.

Good

Always reliable to have tasty food

The Restaurant Is Not #Spacious............... The Sitting Arrangements Were Kinda #Congested............. Food Is #Pricy But It Was Worth It For The Taste............ The #Flavor And Texture Of The Every Item Of Menu Were Splendid............ The #Decor Of the Place Is Classy But Food Is The Highlight Of The Restaurant......... One Must Try Their #Steaks.......... They Are So #Juicy And Well Prepared That It Requires Great Admiration.............. Staffs Were Professional But They Are Not Following The #Covid Period Precautions Seriously Which I Did Not Like.......... Other Than That This Place Is Highly #Recommended........... :)

The food was okay! The ambiance is nice. I always like these glass bottle lighting, so an extra plus for decoration. Overall, had a good time!

The seating arrangements and ambience was nice. Taste was average. We ordered a poutine with beef and a prawn skewers as starter. The quantity was too low compared to the pricing. The poutine was okay but the prawns were small and below average. The drinks were good. We order a Harvey (strawberry shake) and a Archie (Chocolate shake). And they were good. An okay experience.

Food quality is good. But the space is quite small. Not recommended for family gathering because the smoking zone is in the middle of the restaurant.

good interior, knowledgeable staff and very good food for the money... would Recommend.

The ambiance is great and the food is good too

Food is absolutely not good but the environment was cool.

More suited for young couples without family. Not all the options in the menu are available.

Food quality average.

One of the best restaurant I have visited in Dhaka, their steak is one of the best....

Nice place to emjoy with friends and family members

Service: 5/5 Behavior: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Price: 4.5/5 Decoration: 4/5 Ambience: 1/5 The restaurant is small and has a smoking area inside, which are the major drawbacks. As a result, there is always a strong cigarette smoke odor throughout the entire restaurant.

Best place to chill in Dhanmondi

Last time i went, the rice wasn't warm enough.

Nice place to talk.. And food was good.. little bit expensive..

Food quality above average. Fish items were very testy. Even though their space is small, they have kept a smoking zone to encourage smokers.

Let me explain first why I just cut one start , place is Congested, rather than every thing was good! Actually best ❤️ Friendly behavior, unique decorations, most important thing is food. I love their quality & quality both. I tried their platter for 2... Everything on that platter was really delicious, specially dessert Churros ( spanish donut) with hot chocolate. What I don't like is the service charge 😏 though their behaviour was good but definitely they aren't providing hospitality like 5 start hotel! More over it was a good experience. I'm recommending this place ❤️

Amazing place! The food here is amazing and is quite different from the usual things we have had elsewhere. It's a small place. Seats could be more comfortable but the ambience is amazing.

The food was a bit expensive but really good. Got one of the great service and such a great place to have some good time with friends and family.

ENVIRONMENT- it's a tidy place with a good ambiance. Actually that's the highlight. They charge you for the interior I felt, certainly not against the food. FOOD- let's start with the menu. It's a hard menu to read. 1960 style. Not cool.had to search in google for reference photos of the items. Full of Extravaganza text with too little description of the items and no photos, I mean the menu is depressing. Taste is good.but they serve it in wrong proportion. Ordered fish and chips. The fish was veeery small in size and the fries with it was for almost 3 persons. Two of us couldn't finish the fries. That's odd. PRICE- overpriced. For the amount of food, for just above average taste certainly it's an overpriced place. They add 25% extra for what? Ntg. They don't even have parking space. It's a place you can go for once. Not twice.

Highly recommended place for hangout, little expensive, decoration was top notch and most important THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD.

Good

The fb pictures do not give a good idea about the place. The service is very good. The food, taste wise is ok. But may not be healthy( eg it might be more oily then necessary) . A bit overpriced.

Cosy restaurant

The food was okayish and the ambience isn't just the same anymore.

Good

Excellent stack quality and strawberry shake is always my favourite...

Loved the ambience and the overall interior but they should be more careful about the pests because of the environment they're having. But the food is really nice. The quality and quantity both are the same like before. But the juices became really really light. It used to be thick before. Disappointed on that

Absolutely they are the best in food as well as their decoration. There is a also separate smoking zone. They are excellent in service.

Great ambience

A decent place to have dinner. Dim lit ambience may not be enough for your typical Instagramable outing. However, the food is good. A bit costly in my opinion. Taking platters instead of a la carte may be a good option for you. Steaks are average. Poutine, Mushroom soup, garlic bread and mexican rice are very good. Vegetables tasted too healthy for me. Lemonade was pretty good.

It's just amazing. Thanks, Cilantro for being a part of my happy memory.

Food is good but quite expensive and very narrow place to relax.

Good Spanish and Mexican food

(Translated by Google) Panisara (Original) পানিসারা

Food was very good and of premium quality, probably the best resturebt in Dhanmondi area, staff were well behaved and I m satisfied as well but after paying 15% vat, they add up 10% service charge which made their menue super expensive! Only potato fries cost 500 in total!!

Okay so my wife took me on a date here. We've been thinking about going there for a while now (last 5 years). Liked to food and the ambiance, but one thing I would've liked even better, is if they had more comfortable seats. Would go back there again.

Great ambience. Good choice of Mexican/Spanish food.

The chicken garlic soup was great taste.

Good ambience, some of their menu items are very good. Location is also fine.

Great food. Okay service.

Good place

Food is great. Service is great. Could use some more space and lower service charge.

Seafood platter was great in terms of taste and portion. However, the enchilada and quesadillas was OKAY.
