The word “coterie," in its essence, means a group of people who come together to share their ideas. Unique perspectives are what brings flavor to our conversations and our relationships, and they thrive in the right environment.

Our style is an edited mix of flavorful dishes and drinks served in an intimate setting. Flavors come to the forefront as easily as the conversations held by the people enjoying the food. At Coterie, everyone brings their own story to the table.

    I loved the beautiful ambience when I walked in, but the bartender was annoyingly noisy. We had appam, aloo gobi, fish curry and braised lamb shank. The apps and sauces were delicious, the fish was cooked perfectly, but the shank didn't really reflect the price, it was kind of dry. A shame, I'm a sucker for braised meats. I recommend Coterie for its uniqueness.

    A hidden gem, off the well-trodden route down King Street. Not many choices for good Indian food in the area. Clientele included a lot of Indian faces; which is always a good sign. Good service, described the dishes well and guided our choices. Portion sizes suited us, but might feel small to some. Very tasty, delicately spiced, not overwhelming. Spicy-heat available if/when you want it. We will return for sure.

    Service was quite slow. Restaurant wasn’t even that full for thanksgiving to justify the food wait times. When the dessert finally arrived, the cake at the bottom was cold and not warm. Relies on covered outdoor seating for 50% of the seating, so you are kind of exposed to the elements. Lighting was very dim and limited. Don’t think I will be back

    Coterie was recommended to us from Kayla at Gin. This was the best recommendation! We love Indian/Asian cuisine. I’m vegan and my husband is not. Sa’Quan, Jeremy, and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. They explained every dish as it was served. The ingredients were simple but the dishes were divine. We had the ceviche, tandoori ribs, and appam. We will definitely be back!

    The service, atmosphere, and their naan was great. But, the food was bland. We had the captains tikka with chicken, tandoori ribs, palak paneer, and aloo gobi. The only thing I would order again is the aloo gobi. The paneer was chewy and not good. The tandoori ribs were very tender but didn’t have any flavor. Benjamin, our server, was fantastic. My boyfriend and I wanted to love this place but there’s much better Indian food out there.

    Our waiter was excellent. The lentil pancakes had no flavor and the okra was extremely oily. Plus some very mature pods were in there that were tough and stringy. The chef's Trinidad double with chick peas was fantastic. The chai creme brûlée was either cooked at too high a temperature or for too long so it didn't have the creamy texture that it should have.

    Made a reservation for after a show, 9:45. Walked 15 minutes there because it was the only place with reservations. Got there and was told the kitchen is closed at 9:30. Not greeted by anyone, had to chase down the staff. Frustrating.

    ambiance was 10/10! The drink of the day was also really good. Service was great and everyone was quite nice. I do wish the food was a little more flavorful since I feel like that’s what Indian style cuisine is known for but all in all it’s good and I would definitely go back even if just for a drink.
