Coromandel Cuisine Named One of Best Indian Restaurants in CT & What Else Is on the List

Coromandel Cuisine, a chain of six restaurants with a location in Darien, has been named one of the best restaurants in the state by Connecticut Magazine, and here’s what else nearby is on the list.

Coromandel Cuisine has a location in Goodwives Shopping Center

The magazine just came out with its list of best restaurants in the state, and in addition to Coromandel (in the category of “Best Indian” restaurants), located in the Goodwives Shopping Center at 25 Old Kings Hwy. N., quite a few are close to Darien.

Here are the restaurants on the list from Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan, Norwalk and Westport, all within a pretty short drive from Darien, as long as it’s not rush hour (in parentheses, we’ve included what category they’re in — each link goes to that restaurant’s website; for restaurants in Ridgefield, Redding, Fairfield and elsewhere in the state, see the Connecticut Magazine article):
