Greeting us when we walked into Coriander Leaf, the pan Asian restaurant, she manages on the 2nd floor at Chijmes, Cynthia had two tables to offer. Thanks to her and her team, the thoughtfully curated menu for our very important lunch meetings, felt personal. It reminds me of the relaxed, light-handed, modern food that many of us with roots in India, may cook at home. The chefs pay attention to the quality and balance of condiments & flavours & what comes out of the kitchen looks attractive, of fine-dining artiness.
