In a paragraph
Koconut Grove is a South Indian restaurant on City Road, close to Chester station, with sit-down meals, takeaway, party orders, a kids menu, drinks and a menu that mixes regional dishes with safer North Indian choices.
What it's like
Koconut Grove is a useful corrective to the idea that every Chester curry plan has to be the same. The official line is South Indian cuisine, with enough familiar North Indian dishes to keep less adventurous diners onside.
South Indian beyond curry-house default
It sits on City Road rather than in the old-centre crush, which makes it especially handy for station hotels, arrivals, departures and anyone who wants dinner before walking into town for drinks.
Worth knowing
Koconut Grove is most worth using when you let it be South Indian rather than forcing it into a generic curry-house role. It is not the prettiest Chester street, but it is very useful before or after the station.
