I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cilanter Restaurant, a modern Indian American fusion gem. Their diverse selection of three rice bases—curry lemon rice, saffron rice, and quinoa rice with two types of lentils—is a unique touch. My personal favorite, the curry lemon rice, stood out with its tangy lemon flavor and the delightful essence of curry leaves. The Indian chicken tikka showcased culinary genius, leaving a lasting impression. The mini Indian samosas, filled with spiced potatoes and complemented by tangy tamarind dipping sauce, were simply divine. What sets Cilanter apart is the option to choose unlimited toppings, allowing for a customized culinary experience. A standout feature is their selection of six different sauces, with the flexibility to choose two per order. Notably, they generously offered more than two sauces at no extra cost. These house-made sauces, free from preservatives, contribute to a natural and delightful dining experience. Cilanter has undoubtedly become my go-to place, and I look forward to many more culinary adventures there.

Overall food is pretty good. FINALLY HALAL chipotle in the Prov area. Definitely recommend this spot! Only thing I was dissatisfied with was the mango lassi. Was very sour and did not have a good after taste. Besides this, the food was good. I would say get the Chicken Tikka over Lemon or Saffron Rice. Overall a solid spot! Definitely recommend if you in the area!

What a great concept! The staff was so kind and patient to explain what everything was, and the food was so flavorful! I got a bowl with lentil rice, chicken tikka, mixed greens, shredded and pickled veggies, cucumber mint raita and the mango cardamom vinaigrette and it really hit the spot. And the mini samosas - too cute! - and a Mango lassi to finish it off. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. Nice spot!

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. This place is one of the best spots in Providence for a nice, easy, delicious bowl or burrito. In addition, it was perfect for a vegan diet, providing multiple delicious protein, veggie and sauce options. It was too tasty to even take photos! I had the quinoa rice with lentils and tofu scramble and an assortment of the veggies, alongside the Indian-style guac. 10/10 great place. Great people:)

First time to Cilanter, enjoyed the Chicken Tikka bowl, generous portions, fresh and unique ingredients that are well prepared. A delicious alternative! Enjoyed the complimentary homemade Chai as well! Vegetarian and Vegan options. We will be back and definitely recommend this new spot!

What a great concept! It has a good vegetarian options and the staff was very kind and patient to explain what everything was, and the food was so flavourful. I got tofu bowl, mini samosa and chips with hummus.

Food was great and fresh! it's a "a la carte" style and plenty of options to choose from. Chef was so kind and guided us with what types of food and flavors they had. I loved the service! I highly recommend going, I'm definitely coming back.

This place is very good with a fun environment and amazing service. I came here as a 14 yr old with my mom and dad, and we were explained everything and what they were and the food itself was very good. I would definitely come back here. Definitely better than chipotle!

Saw this place while I was walking so I came in & didn’t regret it one bit. Not only was the plate I had amazing but I had to grab another one & write a review. Not only was the food amazing but the sauces they offer is out of this world. I recommend the hot sauce for the hot sauce lovers with white sauce.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my parents and the service and quality of food was amazing! The complimentary warm chai tea was a sweet surprise.

This is the third time that I go to this restaurant. The food has been good every time. The food is delicious and very well seasoned. The mango lassi is very good too. The employees have been great as well, at explaining how some dishes are seasoned and prepared.

My new favorite place to grab food to go, Extremely tasty, tried a bunch of different combinations and always super satisfied . Staff is friendly and has good recommendations,

Where to start? Came here on a whim craving a little something fast and healthy. The server was very attentive and kind to each guest, and gave informed recommendations about the best combinations of sauces & toppings. Everything looked so tasty that we had a hard time deciding what to choose, but the menu has very helpful footnotes to guide you in your choices. There are some really special toppings available. The fried chilis are snipped by hand onto your dish - delightful! We also loved the mustard marinated vegetables, which provided a little tang to go with the chickpeas that we selected as the main component of our bowls. The portions are generous for the price and will definitely leave you feeling satisfied. The mango lassi is outstanding and very fresh - with threads of real saffron and bits of cardamom mixed throughout! Yum! The cherry on top was the FREE chai, which was spicy and warming, perfect for a cold winter's night. Can't wait to go back!

My partner and I go here all the time. The food is extremely flavorful and healthy. My partner has a gluten and other allergies and Cilanter has so many things he can eat there. They also has fantastic prices. Anyway, go here and support an amazing local business owner. Also, GET THE LENTILS. They are the best I’ve ever had.
